### 4/5 — Powering off

*2023-11-19*

The app is great. Exactly like GeoFS but there’s is a problem. It turns off my phone. It turns it off randomly and it gets really annoying. Please fix the problem.

### 4/5 — Full version

*2023-11-13*

Pls make a full version of this that up to date with the website and game.

### 4/5 — Great, but some gamepads don’t work

*2023-11-11*

I  like this version of geofs, because it’s not very laggy. Only problem is, is that I don’t like to fly with touchscreen/orientation.
When I connect my Xbox controller to this Ipad, it connects, but geofs light does not detect it.

### 2/5 — Not as good

*2023-11-10*

Welcome to GeoFS lite. The free way to get money when you can just play the website online for an unlimited array of aircraft. I hate this FS First, We have 3 aircraft that do fly good but they are poorly animated the switches don't work and its all 2D models with a poorly added instrument that goes over the yoke. All the 3 aircraft are not even up to date some are newer than others. There are no liveries and only 3 airports. Secondly, we have the whole world which sounds pretty good offer adding terrain with it but, the satellite imagery is awful its super blurry and there are no 3d buildings or trees the 3 airports contain 4 runways which are the only runways on earth. Thirdly, The audio is not so good but not so bad it is actually mostly bad. When viewing inside aircraft the noise is not muffled at all like a flight simulator would have also, when you go to the free cam the audio is so bad all it does is make the audio a tiny bit quieter while the plane is an entire country away. There are more flaws to this and this is my review to GeoFS lite. 2/10 would not recommend

### 5/5 — A very great game

*2023-09-14*

This game can teach you a lot about playing a good game every day it is exiteing and fun I love this gwme

### 4/5 — Super Fun

*2023-09-03*

I wanted a simple game to fly just a Cessna type aircraft and this one is perfect. It allows me to fly manually or on autopilot and I do a good deal of both. Once I’m airborne I can engage autopilot and select the speed, altitude and heading I want to get to the airport I decide to fly to. I’ll fly there and line up on my own and land. I’m still a little bouncy on the landings but, the more I practice the better I get. Just a great relaxing experience.

### 5/5 — I rate this 2 stars >:(

*2023-07-25*

5 stars so the dev can see (Make All GeoFS Free!!!! Or I Will Rate This Game 1 Star!!! Very Bad Game!! Would Not Recommend Until The DEV Makes It Free >:( )

### 5/5 — Just one issue

*2023-06-29*

Very good flight simulator! The only issue is that mobile gaming controllers only work on the website and not the app.

### 3/5 — 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐🧐

*2023-06-28*

Needs aproovments(how ever you spell it)it’s like Lufthansa map
Only 3 planes I am a genius kid that’s 7 years old tell you a story
I loved planes2 times the end my tummy hurts about it it makes me
Hangry geo fs light is fun but needs aproovments like I said
How ever I you spell it . The auto pilot almost always fails me.🤬🤬🤬
I gave it up for a while for like a week I learned something new
Weather time season.

### 4/5 — good game, Problems..

*2023-05-19*

I personally think this is a good flight simulator, but not so good for mobile. The problem is the game needs more updates, and the physics to land/fly a plane are a bit broken.
