It feels more like flying as the responses are more realistic, however, it is quite difficult to see the runways until you are either too far to one side or the other or completely passed the airport. Terrain could be improved to be able to see the runway a little better. I’ve also noticed that if I don’t line up just right when landing, I fly “underground” until I pull it back up and do a go-around…. Not really realistic in that sense but I’m glad I have a 2nd chance!! ### 4/5 — Lack of detail *2021-09-29* Although I don’t mind the major part of New York City and the statue of liberty being the only clear landmarks, I would like to see a World Trade Center memorial to honor the lives lost and heroes sacrificed to help save people who lost their lives to a similar occasion, which I am pretty sure The Whole reason that people fly that close to the ground is for. Aside from that, I like it ### 1/5 — WHAT THE HECK *2020-08-21, version 3.0* I press fly now and then it crashes. Don’t waste your memory on such an app. This is an outrage I will not be downloading another game by this games provider. ### 1/5 — What!? 😡 *2020-08-16, version 3.0* Whenever I open the app, and begin to choose a plane, the game crashes bringing me back to the app menu.

The game crashes upon opening. I am on iPad. It's a good game, but I would very much like to actually play it. ### 2/5 — Ughhhhh *2020-03-23* Okay so at the beginning I really liked the game. It was cool how you had to find the landing path and everything but now after I’ve had the game for a couple days, they have started putting ads over the joystick so that when you try to control the plane, it just takes you to the App Store and tries to have you get the game. It’s infuriating!!!!! Please fix this by moving the ad elsewhere. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Ok *2020-02-01* This game is fun but the cash says it is at 0 even though I have a lot of money. That needs to be fixed please. Also, I only go to the same airport every time. ### 4/5 — You don’t get coins *2019-11-01* I played for a few hours and it said I got coins after every successful flight and I look and it said 0 coins fix it pls ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wish I can land!!! *2024-06-21, version 3.0* This game is rigged with me not being able to land a airplane!

If that is NYC, then I guess I was wrong thinking I am a nyc native, born and raised. Planes can’t crash. They harmlessly pass through and fly underneath the ground. Maybe this is supposed to be a SUBWAY game? ### 5/5 — Perfect *2019-07-25* Every thing is perfect don’t change anything ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-05-27, version 1.1* Great game and fun. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-04-06* The game is good!
