A few ideas: 1.aCurrency to buy drones. 2. New maps added in the update. 3. A vip pass for £2.50 or £3.50 that gives you 2, 1 or 3 vip drones no adds and 10,000 drone Currency or more 4. A new Background added to when you select a drone and new drones. 5. You can select the Colour of your drone. I also think that they could be better Graphics added and before you get it they are better apps like this such as : drone flight which is Completely free and the Controlls are better. ### 2/5 — Too many pop up adds *2021-04-21, version 1.1* Would be very good to use but the adds interferes with the playing of the app ### 1/5 — A game we’re you can’t do anything *2020-05-28* I hate this game there is so many adds and all of them will kill the progress 1 star for best and 100 for worst just why JUST WHY SO ADDS I feel like this is a scam and WHY YOU CANT CLICK OFF THE ADDS and they say bugs fixed WHAT DO YOU MEAN‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️THERE IS NO FIXES SO MANY BUGS AND ADS(look at 1 star view and 5 star view) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-02-03, version 1.1* Ads are pervasive and make gameplay impossible, deleted ### 1/5 — Carnt to use due to pop ups *2019-09-14, version 1.1* Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Adds adds and more adds *2019-08-25, version 1.1* Did I mention adds ? ### 1/5 — This is not a simulator it is an advert for 888 casino *2019-05-26, version 1.1* This is not a simulator it is just an advert for an online casino. Not only is this annoying but it is highly inappropriate for younger users to be tricked into diverting to a gambling site ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-04-18, version 1.1* If you think this is a good game well guess what? It is not terrible graphics, only a few choices in drones and basic maps. This review would be better if they actually released an update.😒🧐 ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-02-05, version 1.1* The controls are reversed and there is too many adds ### 1/5 — Drone sim *2019-01-15, version 1.1* Can’t play adds pop up every few seconds It would help if adds pop up at end of turn etc UNPLAYABLE SORRY ### 1/5 — Why *2019-01-10, version 1.1* Add every 10 second I deleted with in five minutes wish it was a little bit more of a free flyer 3D race style ### 1/5 — Ridiculous! *2018-12-07* The adds are ridiculous! As soon as you think you’re getting the hang of it the game just stops and an ad pops up covering the whole screen until you close it out and then you go to find your controls again in mid flight. ### 1/5 — WORST GAME EVER *2018-09-27, version 1.1* This game has the worst graphics worst controls and has adds 24 7 all the tim worst game ever don’t even bother ### 1/5 — Insult ones intelligent *2018-09-02, version 1.1* Really, I dont get it, why go to the trouble of creating an app and then bombard with adds to make it unusable and expect people to accept it and use it. ### 1/5 — OMG the worst all ever *2018-09-02, version 1.1* 🤬🤢🤮💩💩💩💩💩 ### 1/5 — Dissapointed *2018-08-28, version 1.1* Way too many ads spoiling the experience. Needs mode 1 and mode 2 support. Great simulator let down by too many ads. Dissapointed customer. ### 2/5 — To many adds *2018-08-26, version 1.1* The game is superb . Would have rate 5 stars If it wasn’t for the adds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth time poor *2022-01-06* Too many ads and too often ### 1/5 — This is the worst game *2021-12-04* This is the worst drone game i have ever played. You can not land on Buildings you phase through the buildings it is dumb!i would give it Half a stair if i could! ### 1/5 — Yeah nah *2021-08-22, version 1.1* The ads pop up as your flying it really annoying ### 1/5 — Controls and etc. *2021-05-01* This is horrible, The controls are very bad, not letting me stop going up and down, I do not recommend this game. ### 1/5 — Way too many adds! *2021-02-13* As soon as I open the app. Every time I touch the screen an add pops up, and once you manage to make it to the “playing screen” controller doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time on this app. ### 1/5 — Pop app *2020-12-02, version 1.1* Can’t believe there’s games with pop apps during the game. Super lag. Worse game I ever played really. ### 1/5 — Pew, pew *2020-10-17, version 1.1* This is not a good app. No need to waste your time. Add popped up in middle of second flight and wrecked the drone because I couldn’t control it past the ad buttons... ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-10-06* Fix the controls. Or at very least, give settings in the customize to switch to Mode 2. I can’t practice my drone flying, if the controls are reversed from my actual drone. Sorry, It looks good (except for ads that pop up during flying), but with the controls reversed, this is useless to me. ### 1/5 — Controls are wrong!!! *2020-07-17, version 1.1* Roll pitch and yaw are all backwards!!! ### 1/5 — Ads are bad *2020-06-11, version 1.1* Ads ruin this game. Every few second, and even if you wait to cancel it the ad still takes you to its website. This maybe a good simulator, but you will never find out as the ads are on all the time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST DRONE GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!! *2025-09-03, version 1.1* It’s soo cool! Though one thing. CAN THERE BE A CURRENCY???! ### 5/5 — Airplane mode will remove the millions of ads *2021-09-29* I used airplane mode and it worked, no ads popped up, great game! ### 5/5 — Best drone simulator *2016-10-09, version 1.1* This is a good simulator because it is basicly free mode ### 5/5 — Great games *2016-02-07, version 1.0* Great games for people that loves drones😃👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Great! *2016-05-04, version 1.1* Easily the best drone sim I've played! Pretty basic, and needs a few tweaks - but great fun all the same. Please make the controls swappable, not everyone flies with elev on right stick. Please makes gravity faster, and the throttle more responsive (or maybe configurable). Please give some option to get rid of the hideous ads that block the screen constantly! Other than that, awesome! ### 3/5 — Improvement *2018-10-11, version 1.1* This game is ok. I turned off my internet to stop the ads but there is a problem. When I fly the FPV race drone in the game it automatically levels the camera with the horizon when I take my fingers off the sticks, please stop this from happening, also please add a mode where you can fly and not have any restrictions on moving forward because I can only move forward slightly, if you could take this away it would allow me and others to be able to do manual flips and 360s and do more freestyle tricks. Please add more drones and take away ads. Otherwise it is a good simulator but just needs improvement because it has potential. Please take my suggestions seriously and please work ON THIS SIMULATOR. ### 3/5 — Dhdjfgwgs *2017-03-16, version 1.1* It's got too many ads ### 3/5 — Mode *2016-04-02, version 1.1* I am using mode2 but there is no option to change the mode. ### 3/5 — Hmmm *2016-03-06, version 1.0* It's hard to be an objective critic sometimes. This must be really difficult to design and implement but sorry, I really didn't like it at all. There are no instructions for any of the settings, the controls are the reverse of every drone I have flown and I have no idea if they can be swapped over. I'm sure it will get better with time. ### 3/5 — One of he better drone simulators *2016-02-28, version 1.0* It's actually not at all bad, has the potential to be really great if :- 1) can we have the option of mode 2 i.e. Lift on the left and turning on the right stick 2) some simple trim features so it can static hover --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
