I was obsessed with this game! Until they added these extra icons on the screen and all of these ads! It just puts me off. ### 2/5 — The game was great *2024-11-03* The game was great. Everything was running smooth, the game was fun and pleasant. Since the company who owns it changed, the game is now hyper focused on ads making you spend money, having everything take time and the game just does not run smooth. Huge disappointment. ### 4/5 — It’s okay. *2024-10-18* The game is just okay. You can’t play it for a while. You can only upgrade one thing at a time and it takes forever. So I have to wait 1-4 hours before I can play again. Then the planes take forever as well. It’s more of a get on for 5 minutes every couple hours game. ### 3/5 — Please fix bugs *2024-10-17* Hi I like this game. I’m on the 3rd airport. My skybus is so glitchy it refuses the land for like hours. I have to turn the app off for at least 10 minutes to trick it into landing. It also reconnects constantly. Please fix before I rage quit thank you ### 2/5 — Update sucks *2024-09-28* I used to really like this game but now there are suddenly pop up’s for micro transactions on every side of the screen and you can control the metro anymore ### 2/5 — Also don’t like the automation. Irrelevant really as I always get the Lost Connection error *2024-09-10* I was quite enjoying this game when the new update introducing the automated flights arrived. I soon figured out that I could no longer avoid landing planes until the ones that I was sending were full of passengers. Now I have no control and sometimes it is taking most of the day to load a plane if it’s parked at the wrong end of the corridor! I was wondering how much longer I could play it when I started to get the “Lost Connection” error all the time which effectively made the decision for me so I have deleted it. Shame really - I was enjoying it! ### 3/5 — Used to be my favourite *2024-09-10* Was one of my go to games to play! Unfortunately i’m not a huge fan of the recent update (specifically the automated gameplay) App keeps crashing 🥲 pls fix this! ### 3/5 — Is this game dead? *2024-09-10* No server connectivity for the past few weeks. The sprites could be a bit smarter. Not much by way of decorations compared to other Overcrowded games. If the game is dead then it was fun while it lasted. ### 2/5 — Good game *2024-09-10* The game is amazing. I got just about almost to the ending and it gives this reconnect server on it so I wasn’t able to finish the game. I kept deleting and re-downloading the game and no luck. I don’t think it would be worth downloading it because you won’t be able to get to the last level or airport. But overall, it’s great. ### 2/5 — Super glitchy still *2024-09-09* Some days the game won't even load. I'm currently stuck on the first airport because you have to finish *all* missions to move on, but 3 of them glitched and are now unfinishable—despite me having unlocked everything and having tons of money. ### 2/5 — Game No Longer Loads *2024-09-09* I was enjoying this game for a few weeks until now. It no longer loads. Just says reconnecting. I would not reccomend this game to anyome until something can be done to fix this. ### 2/5 — Glitchy and Disappointing *2024-09-05* It’s fun for a bit, til you watch ads that freeze and won’t let you claim your reward without hard closing the app. There are lots of connectivity issues. I’ll be on good wifi, but destinations won’t load. I’m on the next to last level and there’s a gate open and nothing will park there. I want to finish it up but I’ll probably just move on to something else without some bug fixes. ### 3/5 — Please change the auto plane landing back *2024-08-30* Auto plant landing makes it almost impossible to fill planes you want because not all stalls are good at filling passengers. Please switch it back to where you decide what plane lands ### 2/5 — Don’t like the new update *2024-08-20* I was really enjoying this game, unfortunately the new automated gameplay update make the game unplayable. There is literally no point in playing the game because it’s ‘doing everything for you’ trying to send planes to get the supplies you need to upgrade is nearly impossible because all the gates get automatically filled instantly. If the developers remove the automatic gameplay(or have a feature to switch it off) then I will definitely start playing again. ### 2/5 — Bad Automation Update *2024-08-19* Definitely NOT a fan of the automation. It’s incredibly rare that an airport is actually able to manage all gates sending planes and constantly having passengers. It’s an incredibly frustrating concept. A constant stream of passengers COULD be beneficial if it’s something that can be turned off. Likely going to be taking a break from the game until this gets removed. Pretty unplayable now. Income has also not been scaled correctly. The longer 3 star journeys used to get you 125M, and level 40-50 upgrades would range between 100M and 350M in the first few gates. Now the same journey gets 2.5B, but the upgrades are 500B. So something that would take 1-2 journeys to earn enough for, now needs AT LEAST 250 journeys to accomplish. Please change things back ASAP!! ### 1/5 — Latest Update Ruined the Game *2024-08-18* I loved playing this game passively and checking in to plan my next flights. Now everything is automated and there is essentially no game play left. Before there was opportunity for strategy and now it’s forced chaos that is not enjoyable in the slightest. This was one of my favorite games to play and now I don’t even want to open it after this latest update. ### 1/5 — Update makes it unplayable *2024-08-18* Really disappointed in the new update with automation. You can no longer control what’s happening and it makes it impossible to send your own international flights. Needs to go back to manual for the fun! Also far too many ads now, I’ll be deleting the game soon sadly unless changes are made because it’s unplayable. ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2024-08-18* This game is really fun and addicting however, this new update really changes how the game works you can’t control the flow of people coming in so more people are getting angry and there is a bunch of distractions on the side trying to get you to pay for different things kind of disappointed really loved this game. I would consider keeping on playing if things went back to how they were. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Connection lost issues *2024-10-27* Cannot use as it keeps trying to reconnect ### 1/5 — Loved it but new update is bad and lost plane *2024-10-09* Absolutely obsessed with this game prior to the new update. I get stuck and can’t get enough passengers to get to the back of my airport to fill resource planes. The automatic plane assignment and metro distribution has made me hate the game. Please remove this update 🙏 I also have 6 planes in a hangar each however one of them is “in air” and has been for weeks but idk where it’s going or what it’s doing so I only have 5 functioning planes for the price of 6 ### 1/5 — Good until the update *2024-09-29* We are all in unity when we don’t want automation. To make a game fun it means there is a lot more decision making and challenges and problem solving. Along with the update it’s a literal watch adverts to win. It is all automatic meaning YOU DON’T ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME. The developers have ruined the game by adding automation. We all are in agreement that this game isn’t a game anymore and they should scrap automatic features and add sandbox type gameplay meaning we have the decision making when it comes to running our airports. In addition, what happened to the old OverCrowded game where your would move rides in a maze type map and gain money when customers bumped into them. Does anyone remember it? In conclusion, this game has become a terrible mobile game just like the rest. It has turned from a fun game into an idle boring game with nothing to offer other than just watch at your airport does everything for you 😡😡😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Purchased ad free and now app doesn’t work *2024-09-10* Game was fun. I even purchased to remove ads. But haven’t been able to connect to servers or do anything for two days now. I’d give this game a solid 4 stars if it weren’t so glitchy. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked in 2 days. *2024-09-10* Haven’t been able to even open the app for 2 days because it “can’t connect to server” not to mention I paid for the month of free ads so who knows how many days i’m losing out on. Plus i’m on the last airport, there’s absolutely no way to get passengers past the first 3 gates on the lower level and to the back ones. those other planes have been sitting there waiting for passengers for DAYS. It’s impossible to redirect passengers with fans because they have to follow the line apparently? There’s a glitch where if you put a fan on that line, it also effects the passengers coming up from the metro??? Fix your game. Regular Overcrowded is great, how did you mess this one up so bad? ### 1/5 — Service *2024-09-09* I’ve downloaded every version of this game whether it’s the real deal or knock offs and unfortunately spent a decent amount of money on each one because of how much I get obsessed with this version of games. But every time I get close to what seems like the “end” of game and achieved so much progress, when I try to log back in, I get a “Connection Lost”. Even when I’m at home with internet and full bars. It never lets me log back in. The amount of times I’ve restarted my phone and deleted the game just to START OVER was enough to never want to play again. However If its a maintenance issue, it should be announced. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste money on this game *2024-09-09* There are so many issues with this game. It constantly disconnects from the server…haven’t been able to connect for almost an entire day now. I’m connecting just fine to everything else on my device so clearly it is the app. Two or 3 planes end up at the same gate and none of them load so you have to close the app completely to reload. One plane will load but you have to repeat the process for the other planes. The fans seem halfway decent but the “plant” just causes road blocks like crazy and does nothing to help guide passengers. A plane will indicate it is ready to land…you click the button and it is still a couple hours away from returning to land. This is just the tip of the iceberg on issues. ### 1/5 — Not able to play *2024-09-04* App just keeps saying connection lost and cannot use the app anymore ### 1/5 — Remove the new update!! *2024-08-22* I was completely obsessed with this game but the automated landing/metro really ruins the experience. It has turned the game from a fun idle game to a stressful experience!! The game has been completely ruined by the new update ### 1/5 — unplayable *2024-08-19* i forgot about this game for a while but would frequently play for a few weeks. with the new (forced) update, the game is legitimately unplayable. the automation of planes landing has turned landing my own planes for resources a nightmare. you can't time anything at all to get them to land and will simply be overruled by planes the game is landing. i have no method to unlock the next airport and no method to continue upgrading my current airport. until these issues are fixed i doubt i will continue playing this game and will likely delete. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Connection *2024-09-14* I keep having a reconnect and it’s kind of annoying and I was wondering if you can update it to fix that problem I don’t know if it’s my phone or my Internet, but I’m going to try to fix it on my end in a way that I may think it might workbut if not, I will write another review about it other than that the games awesome but the connection problem that I’m having ### 5/5 — Can’t log in *2024-09-11* This is a great game. It was even better before the last update that automated everything. I’ve even spent about 50 bucks on it. Haven’t been able to login for the last week. Just get a reconnect screen. I really hope you guys fix this soon. And put things back to the way they were before the update. When you actually had to manually do everything. It made this game stand out from all other idle games. Please and thank you. ### 5/5 — It’s a miracle 🤩 *2024-07-29* I really love this game you could get new planes and upgrade stuff that is in the game passengers that have a thought of what they think of how good that your airport is ### 5/5 — Great Game! ✈️ *2024-07-26* Very fun game! It can be broken at times but the devs have fixed it promptly. I’ve now finished the game after two months! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Another update and another issue *2024-07-25* Was able to start the app one day after the update. Gameplay improved, impossible upgrades became possible like passport lane upgrade price. I can understand that you bought the app from initial developer and more features would come in the future but can you just stop messing the app and the work I have put in for so long. I am on global stage and hope you add more locations by the time I end this stage. ### 5/5 — Update *2024-07-24* After the newest update the app won’t even open just says I have lost connection even thought all other apps have no connection issues ### 5/5 — My game won’t load? *2024-07-24* Made it though to the 3rd airport and now my game just simply won’t load up, says it can’t connect, tried deleting and reinstalling ### 5/5 — Jk *2024-07-03* Good ### 5/5 — Yay *2024-07-02* Yay. Perfect. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Super *2024-06-20* Super the game. I love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
