## What is How do Things Fly??

"How Do Things Fly?" is an educational and fun game for learning how flying machines work: the plane, the helicopter, the drone and the hot air balloon... Pilot the different aircraft and watch the different forces interact. What makes an airplane fly? How do you turn or descend? How can a hot air balloon stay in the air? What physical laws are behind all this?

### 2/5 — Great but take forever to connect

*2024-07-22*

I paid for the yearly pass because my kids love the apps. But when we click to restore the subscription it says it’s connecting for more than 15 mins! This is not worth the apps if my children cannot use it?

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're experiencing trouble restoring your subscription. Please email us at support@learnyland.com with your account details so we can investigate this for you.
