### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-27, version 1.0.3*

I mean, it’s a pretty good game. It’s worth grinding, but there’s no really restart button when you complete the whole game which I’m not that happy.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2026-07-19, version 1.0.3*

Fun game, some issues with the programming that just make some visual aspects unappealing. Very basic game, it’s way too easy to max everything out and finish the game.

### 3/5 — Can’t see how much money you have with new iPhone because it’s under the Dynamic Island

*2026-06-23, version 1.0.3*

Can’t see how much money you have with new iPhone because it’s under the Dynamic Island

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-04-24, version 1.0.3*

Really good fun game with barely any ads

### 4/5 — Really good game just needs to be updated

*2026-02-17, version 1.0.3*

If the game dev could update it and add 7 more airports.

### 3/5 — Too Easy

*2025-05-25, version 1.0.3*

Finished the game very quick, updates needed. Even though this game is very good it just didn’t entertain me for long enough.

### 4/5 — Review

*2025-04-21, version 1.0.3*

Good game but I wished it started off quicker if I had an emoji for it it would be this 🫥

### 4/5 — Fun, short

*2025-04-18, version 1.0.3*

Finished the game quite quickly, what do I do now… all upgrades complete on final airport lack of extra options when you get to the final airport. Every vendor, security, gate, departures, baggage etc all completely fully upgraded. Limit without in app purchases is 601.09quintillion per min, wish the game was longer!

### 3/5 — Completed

*2025-04-16, version 1.0.3*

Decent idle game but ran out of airports far too quickly. All three available were completed in under a day.
One tip is watch the videos for VIP as this is fastest way to upgrade

### 2/5 — Fps

*2025-04-09, version 1.0.3*

Improve fps daddy

### 3/5 — Cafè

*2025-04-02, version 1.0.3*

My customers are not able to go to the cafe and I don’t know why. Three stars.

### 4/5 — Amazing idle game kills time

*2025-03-14, version 1.0.3*

As the title suggests the game is amazing in the aspect that we can kill time my only complaint is the placement of the income we get… it sits right behind the camera so we only get to see the lower half of the money

### 4/5 — Very short game

*2025-02-13, version 1.0.3*

It has only three levels

### 3/5 — Decent

*2025-01-26, version 1.0.3*

Very poor performance, especially at higher levels when you have a lot more customers. I’m very appreciative that there are no mandatory ads, and most of the advertising isn’t intrusive to the actual gameplay. Personally, I try and look for games that do not have in-app purchases, but this one did it well.

### 4/5 — Decent but unrealistic

*2025-01-15, version 1.0.3*

So I’ve played this game for 5 days now and have already nearly finished. I have a future in aviation and when I looked at the gates, taxiways and runways I spotted at least 10 things wrong. I know it’s an idle game and that’s why I’m still giving it four stars but I honestly think they could have tried harder on that.

### 3/5 — Good but needs content

*2024-11-24, version 1.0.3*

Overall, the game is fun and with a lack of interruptive ads, it makes for a fun time killer. 

Depending on how often you play, you could comfortably finish the game in 6 hours - completely levelling up your airport. 

The game needs more content to compete with other idle games of its type - more airports which would bring more to do. Limited time events and challenges would also bring more to the game. 

On a very rare note, the ads in the game are actually useful and give you bonuses or cash. They don’t pop up in the middle of the game and don’t seem to be stupidly long either. 

Overall it’s a good game but lacks in content.

Don’t waste tour money on getting manager, this game got only 3 levels

### 1/5 — Where’s the rest?

*2025-08-09, version 1.0.3*

Fun game for a day, but then it maxes out at three airports/three airlines and nowhere to go. Need more airports.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2025-04-08, version 1.0.3*

Don’t spend money.   Only 3 airports.   Fake game.

*2025-03-12, version 1.0.3*

Need more content

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-11-28, version 1.0.3*

Fun game until you max out airport 3 and realise your at the end of the game. Paid $10 for a manager and I can’t even progress anymore. Rip off.

Can't even be through the tutorial. Nothing you tap on works. Don't waste time with this game.

TO SUM IT UP
1. NO ADS

3. ONLY 3 PLANES
4.LACKS ANY CONTENT 
5. ONLY 3 AIRPORTS ALL WITH SAME THING AFTER ANOTHER 
6. DONT INSTALL UNLESS YOU WANNA DIE OF BOREDOM 
7. AD BASED

### 5/5 — Calm and lovely

*2026-06-10, version 1.0.3*

I wished I found this game sooner

### 5/5 — More upgrades

*2026-05-12, version 1.0.3*

Can you please make the game longer, either more airlines or more shops can you just make it longer, thanks

### 5/5 — Small bug

*2026-03-20, version 1.0.3*

Hey! Want to start off by saying how great and enjoyable game this game is, I’m new to the game and right away im hooked in, i do have one tiny issue and that is when you watch an Ad for the express lane and you receive the granted 4 hour timer it tells you it only lasts a minute, now im not sure if it is supposed to be a minute or a little typo but I’d thought I’d share it to you.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-11-05, version 1.0.3*

Needs more maps and stuff

### 5/5 — Banjo flavell

*2025-08-26, version 1.0.3*

Starts of a bit boring but when you get some money it really fun highly recommend 👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Money

*2025-08-24, version 1.0.3*

Game is good but I can’t see how much money I have because the 16 pro camera cut out blocks it

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-05-24, version 1.0.3*

I love this game so much I just got I today. Although I think u should add more airports and stuff cuz I’m alr on the 3rd airport and I haven’t even had the app 24 hrs. But I love this game u should download it it’s worthit!

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2025-04-30, version 1.0.3*

I love it

### 5/5 — SOOO GOOD

*2024-11-01, version 1.0.3*

Hi this is so much good game for me to do it with an airport

### 5/5 — Better than most of it’s competitors

*2024-09-04, version 1.0.3*

I’ll make this short and simple

Pros: simple to understand gameplay loop with surprising amount of depth, interesting upgrades that have a noticeable effect on gameplay, progression feels consistent but not so fast or slow that it’s over or underwhelming, ads are entirely optional and offer good benefits for those that choose to watch them. 

Cons: buying new airports completely resets your money with no compensation for excess money lost, continuous gameplay is virtually impossible due to the over reliance on idling. 

Overall this game scratches the same itch that Angry Birds did a decade ago, you play it for 10 minutes and then go back to whatever else you were doing. This is a great app to keep around for the times you’re waiting for a bus or table at a restaurant.
