### 4/5 — Good not great

*2025-08-09, version 1.12.2*

Just downloaded. I am very disappointed 😢 that you have to buy other countries.

### 3/5 — Good but can better

*2025-01-12, version 1.11.4*

OptiFlight is good enough, but we can be better someday and also I would like the game developers to develop more things and also fun and also fun multiplayer competitions

### 5/5 — Very simple and good

*2024-06-09, version 1.10.2*

It’s so simple yet so good and does a good job as a simple game

### 5/5 — This is a great game!

*2024-05-04, version 1.10.2*

Boy was I wrong thinking this game was surface level and lacking in content. FAR from it. Hats off to the developers they’ve worked hard on this great game.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-03-13, version 1.9.4*

There’s not enough info to be able to figure out why your routes don’t work, and the user interface is remarkably crappy. When I tap on a city to draw a route, half the time it drags the screen instead. But when I DON’T tap on a city, but double-tap in between to erase a route, THEN it assumes I want some city and zooms in on it. I spend as much time fighting the stupid UI as I do playing the game. There are other UI issues; the design team just isn’t very smart, and the game isn’t interesting enough to make up for that. So, meh.

### 4/5 — 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😃😄😁😆

*2023-10-22, version 1.9.2*

Only problem is the subscription, which locks too much!

### 5/5 — Foehawk19: Addictively Challenging and Satisfying

*2023-10-21, version 1.9.2*

I can’t overstate how much I love this game. I always found myself coming back to try and 3star all the challenges, unfortunately my iCloud didn’t transfer between phones correctly and I’ve lost all my leaderboard spots because of it. I was on the first page for a majority of the maps, as one of the only Canadians (shoutout Jax, fellow🇨🇦), excluding Asia and the original America. I had finished Latin America and solidified my spot, (or so I thought) unfortunately my iCloud only saved at 56/90 and it’s discouraging that it’s now my closest when before that would’ve been easily the least completed region. Hopefully I can get it back, barring my old phone can connect and backup to iTunes (looking unlikely now). I’m not one to restart things, I barely finish things as it is, so I think it says a lot that I’m considering making a rush back up the leaderboards and might attempt to recomplete Latin America. Despite my unfortunate loss of progress, this has been one of my favourite phone games of all time, and I truly believe it deserves more recognition than it’s received.

### 5/5 — Great strategy game!

*2023-10-16, version 1.9.2*

First of all, I can’t believe that I found a game which doesn’t require to buy stupid coins to play or pass the level. It doesn’t show any ads! And additional maps are only $1.99. I’m planning to purchase it, since this game is really addicting and I really want to support developers like this. Genuine and passionate about the game they created. 
Great job and thank you for not trying to rip off players, like 90% games in the market. 🙏

### 5/5 — LOVE this game

*2023-07-26, version 1.9.1*

I am addicted to this game and can’t stop playing. Good for those who like puzzles and strategy. Especially good for aviation enthusiasts, such as myself. 

No crazy ad pop up’s. And the game is inexpensive (and worth it) to upgrade. Please buy the in-app purchase to support the developer. This is how apps should be.

### 3/5 — Good Concept, Poor Execution

*2023-07-07, version 1.9.1*

This game is a really fun puzzle game to play when I’m trying to wind down, and it makes me actually think about my decisions. However I have a couple glaring problems with it.

1) When I have music playing on Spotify or YouTube Music while the app is open, it always tries to play its sound instead of my music.

2) I don’t always feel like it’s possible to get a 100% sometimes. Not because the level is difficult but rather because I’ll be left with a 99% or 98% after most levels and not see a last plane.

Overall still a decent app but I wish these issues were smoothed out better.

### 5/5 — I play optiflight on the plane.

*2023-06-07, version 1.9.1*

God that was fun

### 5/5 — Simply Fun

*2023-04-27, version 1.9.1*

To me, this is game that is just about puzzles and strategy. No unneeded gimmicks such as excessive ads, currencies, limited time events, mandatory Wi-Fi connection, and so forth. This game feels like it came from the golden era of apps. This game is about it being easy to learn but hard to master. And to me, the extra price is worth the many extra puzzles. You may not spend hours on it, but that is why it is good. It is meant to be challenging and interesting, not addicting.
I also love the education element within it. You can learn Airport area codes and geography with this game you create paths from city to city.
A weird opinion, but I love the soundtrack as well. The music is fun to listen to.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2023-02-08, version 1.8.5*

This game is great! However, I wish that the game would use real airport IATA codes. It would be more realistic and easier to look at on the map

### 3/5 — Nice game, crashes sometimes

*2022-12-22, version 1.8.4*

Nice gameplay.
Neat design.
Hours of fun.
Crashes sometimes (especially on big levels).

### 5/5 — Stunning Game for the Strategically Inclined

*2022-12-21, version 1.8.4*

Minimalist and sleek interface as well. 5 Stars!!!

### 4/5 — My Review

*2022-12-12, version 1.8.4*

The game is REALLY fun and addicting and I play it every day. All the different challenges are really fun and I get to create my own fun way to explore the world! However, you can only play on the US Map, all the other maps of other continents and regions cost AU$1.49, which is a bit disappointing, speaking that I can’t play in my home country.

### 3/5 — cash

*2022-11-19, version 1.8.3*

why do I need to pay for everything like maps and stuff

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Really difficult

*2023-10-23*

I couldn’t get past the SECOND level of this game which is ridiculous since I love similar apps. Not fun 😔

### 1/5 — Don’t do it.

*2022-06-18, version 1.7.2*

Not what I thought it would be.I thought you would just be able to do anything but you can only do what it says.It also let you have 2000000 which is not enough. It’s very boring to.☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️.    I don’t recommend.

### 1/5 — Add Skips

*2021-12-09, version 1.6*

Hey can u add skips to the game because I’m having a hard time with level 27 and it’s hard

### 1/5 — Cant get past level 2

*2021-08-22, version 1.5.2*

It needs more than one star to pass it and i cant get past its arbitrary way of success.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2021-05-01, version 1.5.1*

Can’t complete Route 66

### 1/5 — Lacking potential

*2020-03-20, version 1.0.3*

This game is quite simple all you need to do is think for ways to connect the fastest routes that pretty much sums the game.  As for its music I notice it just has Garage Band loop that repeatedly playing over and over it lacks in music but gameplay wise it’s just another generic time waster I won’t consider this game to be the next big thing due to after beating the next and so on levels one loses interest maybe it’s just me.

### 1/5 — Poor UI, Poor UX.

*2020-03-18, version 1.0.2*

Play Mini Metro, not this.

I’m a big fan of the transportation optimization games such as mimi metro. I thought that this game can be another great one like mini metro and mini motorways so I was waiting for release of this game. But it’s so disappointing. Everything in the game is not clear to look and also play.

- First of all, do you really need header bar? How about put the just icons and get better view height?
- All the lines are so unclear to watch when there is two lines at a place.
- Why don’t you set the money as a point 1 2 3? All the six 0s behind 1,000,000 is meaningless, isn’t it?
- And for the last one, you must enhance the left passengers count indicator.

### 2/5 — RNG

*2020-05-23, version 1.2.2*

Way too much RNG to be fun.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-02-28, version 1.12.3*

Game is consistently crashing on Custom levels

### 3/5 — Good idea, needs polishing

*2025-06-23, version 1.12.2*

There are some things that definitely need to be changed and fixed. A lot of these suggestions are somewhat nitpicky but when you consider all of them together, it really adds up and makes playing somewhat tedious.

The good: 

The game is very easy to learn and generally doesn’t get boring because of the situations introduced throughout the game.

Aside from anything mentioned below, the game UI is well designed and doesn’t look clunky for all of the options it provides.

The bad: 

If you are playing with “Disconnect Closed Routes” on, you better hope you beat levels with closures (which make up a solid amount of all the levels) first try. Otherwise the level doesn’t let you start a new game when you try and puts you in an infinite loop of popups which doesn’t end until you turn off the setting. 

Additionally, the lack of consideration for the user’s experience is somewhat infuriating. I can’t express how many times I have pressed the “▶️” button after completing a level thinking it would take me to the next level, only to be put back into the level I just finished. I understand that some people may want to get all of the goals in a level before moving on, but an option to go to the next level on the complete screen would be a lot better than having to navigate back to the main menu, clicking into the next level’s screen, and then finally entering the level. I am also fairly certain that a complete screen doesn’t exist, but rather it just brings you back to the current level screen.

Some UIs are completely unnecessary too. The confirmation screen for the “Disconnect All Routes” option is just an absolute annoyance. For context, to get to the screen, you have to pause the game if it is running, then swipe down on a bar at the top of the screen, and then click the “Disconnect All Routes” button and then click another confirmation button. Another nuisance is that after confirming, it doesn’t even bring you back to the game screen, so you have to swipe down again. I don’t think anyone who disconnects all routes would then proceed to quit the game.

Finally, the UI design is very inconsistent throughout the game. Some popups (such as the ones that put you in an infinite loop) aren’t custom while other ones (such as the “Disconnect All Routes” confirmation) are. This doesnt bug me that much, but it’s a shame that the time wasn’t taken to smooth it out. 

On the topic of arrows, all of the buttons for exiting a menu or going back to a previous screen are in the top left corner, except the leaderboards screen which has it in the top right. 

The levels also don’t unlock in order and I couldn’t find any explanation as to why. Currently I have every level up to 28 unlocked but not 17 or 20. 16 and 26-28 are also unlocked for me to play despite not beating the previous levels. A flow chart-esque main menu would be more intuitive, or just making the levels unlock in order would work too. 

I get that this is a solo developed free game, and it’s honestly pretty impressive that you’ve managed to make a game better than most other free games and even some paid games, but there are definitely some areas of improvement. :)

👍👍👍

*2025-04-04, version 1.12*

### 5/5 — Got a good feeling the moment I saw this game for free (I love it)

*2025-03-29, version 1.12*

For some reason I really like this app but it is abit boring after a long time, excited to play it on my flight!

### 5/5 — Great game, amazing developer!

*2025-01-14, version 1.11.4*

The game is as described: fun, challenging, and very addictive. There isn't really much else to say… but the developer is amazing. 

I had a problem with the game that I was pretty sure was my fault (spoiler: it was). I contacted the developer, who, instead of telling me I was being stupid and should know how to play games, took the time to explain how the part of the game I was stuck on worked. He showed me what it all meant through screenshots and was an overall nice guy. On top of that, the communication was very prompt.

I’ve been an iPhone user for seven years, and this is the first review I have left, as I feel it is well-deserved and the least I can do. Thanks again for all of your help.

### 5/5 — Really fun little game

*2025-01-08, version 1.11.4*

I love playing this in my spare time.
I’ve started a walkthrough tutorial for some levels on YouTube. Please head over to @OptiFlightTutorial and join in!

### 5/5 — Amazing game for relaxing time

*2025-01-04, version 1.11.3*

Thank you for such a beautifully made simple game.

One suggestion though, I would love an icloud save functionality, so I can play it on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Very good game but extremely difficult

*2024-10-07, version 1.11.3*

It’s a great game that is fun to play and challenge yourself although I think it would benefit from more in depth and advanced tutorials that help you get better at the game. For me some of the later levels are extremely difficult and can be very frustrating.

### 5/5 — Pls Reduce difficulty in some levels

*2024-07-30, version 1.10.4*

The following levels are really hard and need some fixing pls (Winter, Summer,Inland,seismic,Coastal,Blues Highway,Standing rock and Apollo pls and I rate you five because the game is really fun and can you make it easier to unlock levels thank you I recommend this to others

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-06-17, version 1.10.2*

This is a really good game and will recommend this to anyone who is wanting to pass the time.
