### 3/5 — Don’t get until updated...

*2020-02-02*

I purchased after finding out they added accelerometer support but once flying, I noticed that none of the gauges work. Can’t even tell my airspeed. Graphics are beautiful though.

### 1/5 — Flight Unlimited Glider

*2018-12-14*

Terrible app. To control, it requires the keyboard—keyboard? If you used it, it would eat up the screen. 
Forget this cludge. There are some much better.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app

*2018-11-14*

Worst money I have ever spent on an app and I’ve bought loads of flight sims.. none of the instruments work and the flights are not very life like at all. The scenery rendering is barely acceptable.

### 2/5 — Make on screen joystick for pitch/yaw

*2018-03-28*

Hello, its great sim with awesome graphic, BUT its not possible to control a glider with accelerometer at all!!!

Please make on screen control.

### 1/5 — Dog poo

Bought this app before looking at reviews. Big mistake. Load of sh!t. No vario sound so completely useless. Can't tell if your going up or down. There is absolutely no point in this game. It's far from simulation. Well it simulates loosing 79p pretty well but that's it. Lots of good flight sims around so look at reviews first and get a good one

### 5/5 — Good app

*2016-05-19*

A very realistic sim！

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2016-01-10*

This app appears to give you the experience of flying a glider at your fingertips. As a glider pilot, I thought what would be pretty cool so I went ahead and got the app. It turns out, the app crashes when you try to do anything, I didn't even get to the part where there is a simulation because it crashes on the home screen. Until this is improved, I don't think anyone should get this app.

### 1/5 — SIM startet nicht...

*2015-09-22*

Menue geht noch. Nachdem man auf FLY klickt stürzt das Programm ab :(

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-09-05*

Total rubbish - their claims are lies - no ridge lift - only birds you see are in down drafts! Very dissatisfied! Save your money and get Aerofly FS instead - a true soaring experience with fantastic graphics. Shame on you Flight Unlimited!

### 1/5 — M

Don't bother it's a rip off. Honestly a glider without a Vario? Not worth a single star.
