Can't land. Back to the drawing board... ### 1/5 — Disappointing... *2015-08-19, version 1.0* An F18 that can't go vertical or do a loop??? ### 1/5 — Jet won't descend! *2015-08-15* Whenever I try to do a mission I fail because the jet won't descend. Even checking the altitude metre, it was not rotating counter clockwise. Fix this and I'll give a 5 star. ### 1/5 — Developer: Go back to the beginning! *2015-08-13* Your jet will not descend!! So only 1 star. Not ready for release till ya fix it. ### 2/5 — TOO MANY BUGS *2018-10-14* Could be good to great. Can’t consistently raise or lower landing gear, flaps; game “starts” and F18 is taking off already and slams into the carrier Occasionally you can “take off” but it’s lousy. It’s like they started developing this and just stopped. They have other good flight sims But they are inconsistent too Shame. ### 2/5 — ??? *2018-09-11* Not understanding what’s going on. I have the coins but won’t let me purchase anything. And I noticed a couple of times I wasn’t able to descend. Could be lots of fun but lots of issues that need to be fixed. ### 3/5 — A bit of TLC maybe *2015-12-22, version 1.0* At first this game is actually quite could but it has too many problems. I must admit I did have high expectations of this game as I really enjoy FlyHawaii and this game features some improvements of FlyHawaii such as moving Aleirons, stabilisers, elevators and rudder as well as moving flaps and retractable landing gear! But simple things like pitch control don't work! If you can't descend/climb you can't land/takeoff. If it doesn't work it's not fun! It allows you to buy other military, private and light aircraft with the coins you earn from successful missions. It only allows you to buy certain aircraft for example it allows me to buy a Super Puma but not a Fokker F100- why it's silly really! ### 3/5 — Need improvement *2015-08-17* I loved the game as I am addicted to Airplane! game specially the idea of breaks, gears and flaps. Yet the game needs a lot of improvement in term of descending and choosing weather conditions. All the best in improving the game. ### 4/5 — Mmmmmmmm *2020-07-19* It’s a pretty decent game besides the fact that sometimes when you’re playing you can’t make the plane descend so I have to use the flaps a lot and those barely work but it’s great because you don’t have to for anything and for me there’s no ads so yeh ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2021-02-15* Awesome game. I just wish that the planes weren’t so expensive. But other ways good game! ### 5/5 — VOTE BIDEN *2020-10-21, version 1.0* Vote Biden ### 5/5 — Wow *2015-08-16, version 1.0* Nice game ### 5/5 — Much more freedom *2015-07-27* The ability to fly free (being able to bank and be inverted) is awesome would give it all the stars in the world if I could. Love the ww2 planes👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Love this! *2015-07-02* Um... This is so cool! I love these planes! ### 4/5 — Unlock? *2016-05-21, version 1.0* Anyone know why or how to unlock the 3rd aircraft in series 1? The first 5 planes required 6K coins for each to be able to unlock but won't let me. I got 1, 2, 4, and 5th aircraft unlocked but won't allow the 3rd even though it takes the same amount of coins to unlock like the others? ### 4/5 — It's pretty good *2015-08-27* The game is amazing I just got it a couple of days ago and I have unlocked lots of planes and a helicopter. I highly recommend it. The only problem with the game is sometimes when you try to descend it doesn't really let you but it is fixable. Just turn up side down and press up and you will go down. I hope this was helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
