Almost comical animation and response to controls. I deleted it within 3 minutes. ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-08-09, version 1.2* Camera doesn't follow helicopter. Just flies off into the distance and becomes a dot on the screen. ### 1/5 — No No No *2013-07-25* Very bad. What a waste of time! ### 1/5 — Is stupid *2013-07-12, version 1.2* Don't bother ur poo ### 1/5 — In a cube *2013-06-24* The environment is a cube with seams and photos attached... No definable ground. The box you start at is the best looking and working thing. Even apple should have said no to this. ### 1/5 — Hilariously Bad *2013-05-21* "Outside" is a cube with the outdoors painted on it, which you are trapped inside. Not even remotely close to flying any kind of chopper, and the graphics are inexcusably bad. The rotary blade doesn't spin and you fly off, lol. ### 1/5 — What is this? *2013-03-05, version 1.2* This guy has made at least two of these games and I can assure you they are both utterly terrible. Should've spent more time on physics/controls rather than advertising and in-game purchases ### 1/5 — DO. NOT. PURCHASE! *2013-01-05, version 1.2* This is totally bogus. Not anything you may consider close to resembling flying an r/c helicopter. I just got robbed of a couple dollars by purchasing this, with the assumption that it might be a half decent trainer. There are others out there that I've found that ARE quite good though, but NOT this one..out of respect, I won't mention them, but please continue searching right past this one!! ### 1/5 — How do you complete levels *2013-01-01* I don't know where you even supposed to go. It's like you can't go anywhere! ### 1/5 — Terrible flight physics and controls *2012-12-30, version 1.2* Controls are incredibly jumpy. Doesn't allow for any finite movement or control. Feels like an arcade game rather than the real thing. ### 1/5 — No good for lefty's *2012-11-03, version 1.2* Graphics ok, but no mode change, can't fly with hard coded sticks. All RC flyers know there are 4 flight modes so only having one will only appeal to those flying mode 2 ### 2/5 — Ok I guess *2012-10-28* It's alright but there is no point. There should be challenges and stories. ### 1/5 — Boring *2012-10-27, version 1.2* I have played MUCH better maybe improve so you can fly over the grand canyon and follow behind the helicopter. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2015-12-15* This game I believe is a bit poorly constructed.. I've heard a lot of unfair deals about this and I agree. Without the update this app is worthless. I haven't tried the update but I'm sure it is in satisfying also. If I were you, I would take reconsideration on spending time making a better, more challenging game. For instance, you could apply levels and add more controls that the player can learn to use. Another suggestion would be that you use a better scenery that you can actually travel through. ### 1/5 — Even for free it was a rip off *2015-01-24, version 1.2* Don't waste your time downloading this app. 1. The helicopter flies nothing like a model. 2. Control is locked in mode 2. 3. Graphics are terrible. 4. You can't fly very far. ### 1/5 — Not worth the storage space *2015-01-01* It is lacking in most every area, control response is nothing then it jumps into action, no depth of field, rudder/tail rotor control makes it almost impossible to rotate to a heading. Fix the control and scenery issues and you might have a free program that people would play with, ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET *2015-01-01, version 1.2* Rubbish ### 1/5 — Do Not Download, even for free *2014-12-03* I am in the market to purchase a RC heli. If you have one or are buying one, this is not your app. If you are looking for an arcade game, this may be your app, but it fails there as well. It's trying to be a game and a sim at the same time and failing at both. ### 1/5 — Why did I download this? *2014-06-22* Horrible game and horrible controls. The physics need major help. The controls don't work. I can fly through objects. This app is not ready for prime time. At least I didn't pay for it. Developers, try again... ### 1/5 — Do by it *2014-06-09* Do not by it because you can not see the controls!ps it's not fun ### 1/5 — Utter rubbish *2014-03-10, version 1.2* Sticky, ugly, unresponsive... If you pay to upgrade this, you need help! Actually surprised apple allow it. Clearly a whipped together poor excuse of an app that is purely there for someone to make money off the add banner ### 1/5 — NO DESCARGAR *2014-01-20* El peor juego que jamás descargue!!! NO PIERDAN TIEMPO DESCARGÁNDOLO!! ### 1/5 — The heck *2013-11-26, version 1.2* My helicopter is not responding or flying toldaly deleting ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — red bull *2013-12-19, version 1.2* mallade coulle ### 5/5 — what the heck *2012-11-13, version 1.2* my heli is not flying. seton academi ### 4/5 — Helicopter game *2013-11-10, version 1.2* I didn't even try the game! ### 4/5 — Exactly as described *2013-06-28, version 1.2* This app is a great almost realistic simulator. It doesn't crash and the maps could be better and bigger. Otherwise almost great app. ### 4/5 — Review *2012-09-29, version 1.1* It's not a bad game it's fun ### 3/5 — Cool! *2012-09-30, version 1.1* Great graphics! Controls are a bit too soft and not responsive enough. But since this the first version, I won't criticize too much. Looking forward to upgrading to the next version! ### 3/5 — Almost good. *2012-09-20* On my original iPad the only controls that work are the collective and pitch. There is no roll or rotation which limits the usefulness. Also, the background does not "scale" with distance-it is just a picture. This is disconcerting. For a first try this shows promise. Fix the control problem and it will be useful. ### 2/5 — Unplayable *2014-12-23* *I fly RC CP Helicopters and unfortunately the only thing you could learn from this is: 1) The real life frustration of watching your heli fly away and crash. 2) Shows you what your heli could do if not setup correctly. Could be a good sim if either it had settings to reduce or increase the cyclic and collective. And it had a stationary view window (PIP) so you could see the orientation of the heli when it flys to far from you vantage point. *i try to be fair when reviewing an app and try to find the pros and cons. Sometimes you have more pros then cons and vise-versa. ### 2/5 — Not the best *2014-07-28, version 1.2* I got an RC helicopter, and its nothing like this, a real helicopter ALWAYS moves when its flying, when you dont touch anything when flying, it stops in mid air (Sorry for my english) ### 2/5 — Not very realistic, good for kids *2013-02-03, version 1.2* Not very realistic, good for kids --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
