I would definitely recommend this game. But one thing I don’t like is when the helicopter starts up it sounds like an old truck starting. UPDATE: after playing this game for a couple of weeks I have found it’s impossible to rescue the lost hiker or assist the pilot in finding the lost hikers, you cannot land close to where they are, every time I try to land, my helicopter gets destroyed, after spending a long time flying and and getting to the lost hiker it’s very disappointing, you just cannot land next to them to be rescued 😡 Can you fix this, please? And after playing this game for I bought the CH 47 Chinook helicopter, and it does not fly right there is a lot of ### 3/5 — Decent *2025-06-19, version 23.08.22* This was decent, I just don’t understand why does the rest of the helis cost money? Can we get more free helis? ### 2/5 — Fuel *2025-06-16, version 23.08.22* Need’s unlimited fuel and all helicopter’s unlocked and all levels unlocked ### 3/5 — WHY?! *2025-05-19* Plz fix mh-53e turning ### 3/5 — good *2025-01-22, version 23.08.22* its good ### 4/5 — Why I gave this 4 stars *2025-01-05, version 23.08.22* I love this game because it’s fun and realistic but you have to pay for helicopters but 1 free tiny one ### 3/5 — More free helicopters *2024-10-25* Not all parents are willing to purchase game content ;) ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-08-10, version 23.08.22* The game is great and has great physics, I also know how to start a helicopter now the only issue is every other helicopter costs money so your stuck in the same chopper every time ### 4/5 — Good Game *2024-04-17* It’s not bad, needs a few updates please. Making the controls a bit more accessible to the player…having to stretch to use the anti torque pedal controls. Has a lot of potential ### 2/5 — Not great, could be better. *2024-01-11, version 23.08.22* Every time I do the lost Cessna 172 pilot it goes off after picking up the pilot. Also there is no impression of any speed. ### 3/5 — Einfach nein *2022-10-21, version 1.0.6* ICH KOMME NICHT REIN!!!! ### 2/5 — Joystick bad *2022-07-09* The joystick option during game play doesn’t work correctly. Only goes left. But the game is cool. Climbing the mountains are difficult and I wish the different aircraft had different speeds, larger aircraft = better speed / handling. ### 4/5 — Fun helicopter game, but it needs a little bit more work. *2022-07-09* This is a really great helicopter simulator game, but however with some military helicopters and civilian helicopters. The weapons on heavily armed military helicopters need to stay the same on missions as they are on display, such as the guns, rockets and missiles. Since that we are already able to fire the guns, we need to be able fire them instantly without waiting for more than 1 second. With the rockets and missiles on attack helicopters, we need to be able to fire rockets and missiles and reload them without any limits. For the civilian helicopters, the flares need to stay the same at least times and prohibit them from flying in combat missions. Civilian helicopters do not need weapons like military helicopters do. So please remove the weapons from civilian helicopters. For the missiles on armed military helicopters, they need to be able to lock-on, hit and destroy fast moving targets like enemy vehicles while the rockets keep on going in straight lines without locking-on after being fired. For the main gun on the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, the gun must be steerable from right or left, up or down, even when the helicopter is hovering still in the air and not moving. I have to be able to aim the gun in any direction without having to move the helicopter. Also, for the AH-64 Apache helicopter, fix the floating rocket pod issue, rocket pods cannot float by themselves. Add some structures that connect and hang the 2 rocket pods under the helicopter’s wings. ### 2/5 — Helicopters don’t turn *2022-07-02, version 1.0.6* You buy the helicopters which are quite expensive however you press the button to turn the helicopter and it does nothing. You add basically paying 8.99 to fly a helicopter sideways ### 4/5 — Not bad *2022-02-13, version 1.0.6* Freemium model means lots of ad-watching, but then all levels and 3 aircraft are available. Mountainside landing rescue missions are really tricky! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Flawed and meh *2025-03-11* The idea is nice, but this game has way too many glitches. The accelerometer controls invert for reason, the rock drop mission is barely playable, and the missions are super boring. The last level I played required 4 ads first. Would pay to remove ads, but not on a subscription basis. ### 1/5 — STUPID (please read) *2025-03-08* HOW DO I GO FORWARD??????!!!!! P.S. Please let me know. please. ### 1/5 — Nice but… *2024-06-16, version 23.08.22* Only one heli and mission available for free and others we have to pay so deleted after playing tutorial because nothing else to do in game ### 1/5 — Отвратительная игра *2023-12-06, version 23.08.22* Все вертолеты платные, всего 2 миссии. Можете не тратить время на это г…но ### 1/5 — Dumm ey *2023-04-01, version 1.0.6* Man kann keine nächste Mission freischalten außer mit Werbung ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2023-01-06* If i could give 0stars I would don’t download waste of space ### 1/5 — Helicopters *2022-12-31* Why do have to buy the helicopters why every game I play u have to buy buy buy ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-02-17, version 1.0.6* The controls are very bad and the helicopter is slow as well ### 1/5 — Purchases *2022-01-31* As someone who doesn't pay for things on mobile this game is terrible, in order to use any aircraft you have to pay for it. Terrible ### 1/5 — Horrível *2021-12-16, version 1.0.6* Muito ruim ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ridgerunner *2025-09-10* I have played many aircraft simulator games, but this one tops them all, it is very cool, just like the real thing. I would definitely recommend this game. But one thing I don’t like is when the helicopter starts up it sounds like an old truck starting.

I would definitely recommend this game. Love it. ### 5/5 — Refueling the helicopter *2024-11-24* The game is good at first, then when you have to press refuel it doesn’t work. I keep holding it and pressing it, if I am doing it wrong please let me know! Because this is the one true game I can count on! ### 5/5 — Terrific *2022-12-18* I love the way the little horse turtles look at me in this helicopter game ### 5/5 — Best helicopter sim ever *2022-04-14, version 1.0.6* It’s so good and physics are good to in fact the game is amazing but please add in black hawk helicopter please. ### 5/5 — Avaliação *2022-01-30, version 1.0.6* É muito bom só pelas fotos e vídeo já estou baixando aqui 👍🏻❤️ ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-01-29* Excellent game it is very cool ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2022-01-28* Dang best game can’t stop playing ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2021-10-08, version 1.0.6* Игру ещё не скачал,но по картинкам очень понравилась. Надеюсь оправдает ожидания) ### 5/5 — FS2021 *2021-10-03, version 1.0.6* Where is the Flight Simulator 2019-2021? I really wait it for 3 years! You did the best scenery of all mobile flight simulators, but planes were bad. Do better model of aircrafts and more airports and that’s all. I hope that you will see my comment and you will do the best mobile flight simulator!=) GOOD LUCK! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
