### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-04-12, version 1.1*

I love it,but one part is not interesting is that I want more airports,more planes,lightning and that's all,btw you are doing a good job!

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-04-03, version 1.1*

Great app

### 5/5 — Fantastic app.

*2014-01-03, version 1.1*

HGS flight simulator is an amazing app, it captures the climatic conditions, types of aircraft and steps to becoming a senior flight captain very accurately, the app somewhat changes the job of being a pilot into a more challenging game of scoring enough points to become senior flight captain. I couldn't stop playing for ages. I loved it

### 5/5 — Great !!!

*2013-11-27, version 1.1*

A great game, shame only 2 planes to fly.

### 5/5 — HGS Flight

*2013-10-09, version 1.1*

Nice job!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2013-10-08, version 1.1*

I love this app, it is not very much of a varieties but of you want to be or already, this is good practice!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-10-02, version 1.1*

Beautiful graphics, good sensitivity, and nice combination of being fun and educational.

### 5/5 — Really Fun

*2013-09-12, version 1.1*

This game is challenging and fun!

### 5/5 — Great training aid

*2013-08-23, version 1.1*

Exhilarating!  A great training aid for anyone upgrading or transitioning to an aircraft equipped with HGS, or preparing for a procheck.  I am a former airline captain and have flowing many hours and executed many Cat III approaches to 600 RVR using this system.  This iPad App is amazingly realistic.

### 5/5 — perfect

*2013-08-17, version 1.1*

Finally a plane game without all the guns and military missile 
dodging. 
Very relaxing and great for dealing with stress.

P.S. this is the only game I bothered to write a review for.
GREAT APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — best game

### 5/5 — Should cost money!

*2013-07-24, version 1.1*

Awesome I'd recommend it to anyone with skill really addictive and controls that are easy

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It stopped working with iOS 11.

*2019-01-24, version 1.1*

No update available for this app to continue working.

### 1/5 — App no work

*2018-02-18, version 1.1*

This app no longer works on ipad. It needs updating by rockwell collins.

### 1/5 — Playability not good control

*2014-01-27, version 1.1*

I've installed that system in regional jet, great tool for pilot. But for this game/sim,  the control is not working well, please re write soft control to have a better control of the aircraft like the real things.
Other than that It should be fun!

### 1/5 — Err

*2013-03-02, version 1.0*

I can't even get into this game

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-11-24, version 1.0*

I just downloaded the APP, and can't get past the menu screens at all. I have all of the latest op systems, but all this app does is crash! I bet you the pilot that wrote it has crashed too! LOL...Just joking...But, nonetheless, I'm very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Phone support?

*2022-10-06, version 2.0*

It’s a lovely little game, and I enjoy it very much.
Would appreciate support for it on phones as well as iPads, though.

### 3/5 — Almost Like the Real Thing...

*2012-11-24, version 1.0*

Almost like the real thing.  It could use a longer ATC audio loop; it replays the same comm's while you're still on your approach. Volume is not controllable except for turning it off. If you change the power/thrust setting, you can not set it back to the default in order to stabilize at 135kt.  Roll control seems overly sensitive, and the app a little laggy in roll. Pitch is ok.  Is it just me or are the compass headings reversed and therefore must move in the 'wrong' direction to show the correct heading vs. direction of turn? (Hdg 280 is to the left of Hdg 270).  Let's add some other cool airports and some RF-leg approaches! (PSP, Gastineau, etc.)
iPad2

### 3/5 — Details

*2012-11-15, version 1.0*

The font doesn't match the one used by the HGS.

Also landing shouldn't be considered successful just because you touched the runway.

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2014-04-17, version 1.1*

So far from what I have had time to play, it is turning out to be a nice little time killer. If you can get past the looking like a goof with your ipad in the air waving back and forth.

### 4/5 — Great

*2014-03-21, version 1.1*

A realistic approach game....I'm addicted

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-09-15, version 2.0*

I like this game a lot, and it will help me perfect my landing, but I think it would be really cool if you turned this into a full flight simulator with more airplanes and the ability to take off and fly to a destination. And with full controls like flaps, gear, and speed breaks. It also would be nice to have more cameras.

### 5/5 — Non Pilot Opinion

*2019-08-28, version 2.0*

This is a sampling of an actual HUD fight instrument in an accurate sim environment. It is basically an ad aimed at private and commercial aircraft owners. But they let us play with it. COOL! The geo-graphics are simple, but the required accuracy of your approach and landing is very high. Licensed pilot high! A lot of fun for armchair pilots. Enjoy.

### 5/5 — It's a trainer for HUD use in aircraft

*2016-09-07, version 1.1*

At first, I found the game difficult, but I kept trying, changing sensitivity, practising till I got a good enough technique (small corrections).
Then I went to work in a brand new A350-900...
...On the ILS07L approach I disconnected the autopilot and focused on the HUD, exclaiming, "Oh wow! It's just like the game I've been playing!"
The game is hard, so flying the real A350 HUD accurately and precisely became much easier! My flying is more accurate and I have more spare capacity to take-in other things in my unfamiliar environment.
It's brilliant! Get it! Use it!
My suggestions for improvement would be to add one or two more airfields and, on higher levels, to show all the information a real HUD displays, perhaps with the ability to declutter, the point being to learn to find the information you are looking for quicker and to ignore extraneous information easier.

### 5/5 — Hgsflight

*2016-06-29, version 1.1*

Good simulator,excellent learning app

### 5/5 — Totally cool.

*2015-01-15, version 1.1*

Nice job creating this. The ATC audio adds another layer of realism. Takes a while to get the hang of it, but really nice simulation!

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-01-15, version 1.1*

Compares to xplane 10

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2014-11-10, version 1.1*

As a real 737 pilot I can say that this app has improved my flying. Although I have never had the privilege to use HGS in real life, I enjoy the realism and yet simple enough to be relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2014-05-05, version 1.1*

Great fun.  Once I got used to the controls.  Now onto the weather.  Well worth the price of admission

### 5/5 — Best simulation

*2014-04-26*

This game is awesome!!

### 5/5 — My dad works for Rockwell

*2014-04-26, version 1.1*

This application is very realistic and fun at the same time.
