Absolute junk. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Dog poo *2016-06-20* 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 ### 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 *2015-08-10* Don't bother it's a rip off. Honestly a glider without a Vario? Not worth a single star. ### 1/5 — Celtic Eyes Graphics *2015-07-12* I was so disappointed in this app. I am a glider pilot, so I thought it would be fun to get a little down time flying. I have two iPads and and the app will not start on either one. So as I would like to do a better review, I never even got to the flying part. Had high hope but was very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Dosnt work, copied anyway *2015-06-14* Downloaded the app as a real life glider pilot... Thinking oooh gliders! Actually, the app crashes when you try to 'fly' and to be honest it does not motivate me to try and get it working.. The app images show that the glider(ls8) is an exact copy of the 'extreme soaring3d' app. So to sum it up, DONT BOTHER, just get aerofly fs or extreme soaring is you want something to do with gliding, if you just want a fun app don't go near it, in fact don't go near it anyway because IT DOSNT WORK! ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-05-19* A very realistic sim！ ### 5/5 — Soar the Beautiful Skies *2015-07-22* This is one of my favorite games on the iPad. The scenery is easily the best I’ve seen for a mobile flight simulator. There’s not much to do in the game but such is the nature of being a Glider pilot. The goal is to stay aloft as long as possible. You accomplish this by seeking out the Thermals which are pretty hard to find. The landscape is pretty large, I was able to stay in the air long enough to explore and I found a town and a pretty neat looking lake. If you’re a try fan of flight simulation I highly suggest this game. If you just want to show off what your iPad can do I also suggest this. Pros - Great graphics Cons - No missions and a lack of modes isn't great ### 5/5 — Visual *2015-06-05* I tend to buy every flight simulator. This is a relatively simple game but it offers some amazing visuals and scenery. The plane seems to be well modeled and behaves realistically. If you’re a fan of flight simulation or gliders get it ### 5/5 — Awesome graphics! *2015-06-04* I really enjoyed this game. The graphics are incredible, in line with the other games I've downloaded from this developer. The glider is easy to fly. All in all, I found this to be a pretty solid flight simulator glider game. ### 5/5 — Very Cool *2015-06-04* Very playable. Great scenery, graphics. Glider is a great vehicle to explore the terrain. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-06-04* Great graphics--fun glider to fly. ### 4/5 — A encourager *2015-07-20* Avant toute chose redemarrer l iphone apres installation sinon ça plante Graphisme plutot reussi mais pas mal de beugs L avenir pourrait rendre cette simulation intéressante , il peut être agreable d obtenir cette appli pour qui, comme moi , s oriente vers ce genre de situation ### 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. ### 3/5 — Needs work... *2015-06-22* The app does work, but what is not clear is that you need to register as a user before you can fly. When working it's ok'ish but there are some shortcomings... altitude is shown in really small text at the foot of the screen which makes it difficult to judge whether you have found lift or not I would suggest an audible lift signal would be a good addition. Also in cockpit view, the gauges are images only, again difficult to tell what is happening. Finally a couple of different models would make this better. ### 3/5 — Needs a few things... *2015-06-12* 1) NEEDS an actual selection of gliders 2) Needs yaw string 3) Needs audible tones to assist glide Camera controls are sluggish, cockpits could use work. Scenery looks great though. I'd recommend Xtreme Soaring by Phanotives if you want something with a range of options, although the scenery isn't as nice as this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
