### 2/5 — Unusable

*2024-11-15*

Didn’t hear music. Couldn’t read settings instructions because they were in Chinese. Sorry I liked the idea but it’s unplayable

### 1/5 — Hopefully You Can Help

*2023-04-12*

The 1 star is just to (hopefully) get your attention. This is the third time I’ve purchased this game between various devices and accounts. I’ve always loved this game, and I’m aware it’s old and likely dead, but I hope you can help. The story is in English, but everything else, the settings, menus, greeting (loading) screen, etc., is stuck in an eastern language. I’m not sure which language exactly, but, if you see this and are willing to put a tiny bit more into this masterpiece you’ve created, I know the patch would be greatly appreciated by more than just me. I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro, if the information is necessary. Thankyou for the time

### 1/5 — Mandatory Geolocation sharing just to play the game

*2022-11-17, version 2.0.4*

Don’t buy this game. I don’t understand how this works. How does this even know it again any Apple Store rules. But I’ve reported it already.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t load. Keeps crashing.

*2022-11-07*

I can no longer play the game. I keep getting a pop up telling me to confirm something and I click on the button and it just crashes. Over and over. You can’t do anything but push the button. Wth man

### 2/5 — Leider

*2022-11-06*

muss man sich zwingendd zum GameCenzer anmelden und zwingend die GPS Lokalisierung freigeben, sonst geht garnix. Und im Hintergrund suckelt die App den Akku leer, daher wieder runter vom Handy. Die Musik ist schön, dafür gibts den Gnadenstern.

### 1/5 — Зачем вам моя геопозиция??

*2022-06-11*

И с чего я без неё не могу играть??

### 1/5 — LONER

*2021-11-18, version 2.0.3*

You ruined a great app by requiring location information,  I am going to have to delete.  I do not like tracking or having my information in foreign hands.

### 1/5 — Последнее обновление — это уже хамство 😡😡😡

*2021-10-24*

Ребята окончательно берега попутали. Раньше были проблемы с локализацией, а теперь игра не работает без доступа к геолокации. Одиночная, медитативная леталка хочет знать, где вы находитесь. Зачем?!! При отказе в доступе, просто вылетает. Давать доступ и отключать геолокацию на уровне системы не хочу принципиально. Так что Loner, добро пожаловать в забвение. Хотя и жаль. Хорошая была игра, атмосферная. Была… 😞

### 1/5 — 你一个游戏要啥位置权限？！？！？

*2021-09-30*

垃圾！垃圾垃圾垃圾！搞些什么啊你们，也不说提供什么服务，要啥位置权限？？？？有病吗？！！！？？！

### 1/5 — Completely trivial game

*2021-09-19, version 2.0.2*

and boring too. You can’t maneuver the “airplane”, nor steer it in any way that isn’t trivial.  You would have more fun and have a more memorable experience if you just lit a five dollar bill on fire and watched it burn.

### 3/5 — No English Language option

*2021-07-07*

I love this game, yet I can’t understand it due to the English Option not working. Please fix this as soon as you can.

### 4/5 — My favourite game but suddenly the language changed to Chinese

*2021-05-27, version 2.0.2*

And I cannot change it back

### 1/5 — 환불해주ㅛㅔ요

*2021-03-14*

당장 소리도안나오고 제대로안됨

### 1/5 — No response when touching the screen

*2021-01-07, version 2.0.1*

I know it’s a great game and I once played it.That’s why I pay for it again but when I open the app it just get stuck at the beginning and no response at all.
I thought it may be the problem of my iPhone 12mini. So i tried it on my iPad Air3 and the same problem happened again.
Disappointed

### 1/5 — misleading

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.4*

states no data collected but requires location data to play

### 1/5 — Requires Location to Play

*2026-01-23*

This game was pretty relaxing until a recent update that requires your location information in order to be authorized, which makes no sense. If you do not allow the app to do this, it refuses to load, so I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Needs my location

*2025-10-18*

It’s advertised as a simple game, but needs my location for no reason.

### 1/5 — Requesting too much information

*2025-07-25, version 2.0.4*

Why request Personal ID number when play? Hong Kong players can’t log in at all!

### 1/5 — I miss this game

*2025-06-13*

I used to play this game all the time. It was relaxing and had a nice story line that was revealed as you played. I can no longer play this because the game REQUIRES access to your location “to provide better service”. I do not want to be precisely tracked and identified in order to play this, so I said goodbye.

### 1/5 — Зачем местоположение вам?

*2024-09-01*

Я точно помню что покупал эту игру, по итогу не раскрыв свои данные не могу воспользоваться оплаченным продуктом.

### 1/5 — 為什麼會需要用到開啟定位

*2024-02-26, version 2.0.4*

為什麼會需要用到開啟定位？請給出解釋

### 1/5 — Location?

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.4*

Can’t play the game unless it has access to my gps location?

### 1/5 — Language Bug

*2023-11-01*

Fix the language the bug in the settings and other menus

### 1/5 — Разочарование непонимание

*2023-04-26*

Не совсем понимаю почему я не могу играть в эту игру без предоставления доступа к моей геопозиции. Однозначно 1 звезда

*2024-01-21, version 2.0.4*

### 5/5 — Language issues no English words

*2021-06-18*

Me personally love the game it’s so amazing I fell in love with this game everything is okay and I recently got my phone fixed so I lost my data and the inverted controls were a new one on me but I’m okay with that my main issues is that I don't understand the words I wanna read the story but I can’t because it’s in a Language I don’t understand so I’m just asking if we can get English words so some of us can enjoy the story please.

### 5/5 — Great game

### 5/5 — Super

*2020-11-16, version 1.9.3*

Це неймовірно класна гра, має заспокійливу властивість. Всім поціновувачам гарного саунда в грі рекомендую.

### 5/5 — I want more of this game

*2020-10-15*

Relaxed; detoxification; I still don’t why it’s not popular in iOS platform.  
Need more choruses!

### 5/5 — 希望以後有飛機的dlc

*2020-08-30, version 1.9.3*

如題，希望以後有更多的飛機，付費也沒關係
