Honestly a brilliant game! 🤩🥹⭐️ ### 4/5 — Crashing *2026-08-06, version 0.10.5* The game is absolutely perfect and I don’t think anything needs to be changed, but why when I use my textures for my planes, it crashes but when I don’t, it doesn’t crash I’m confused, but it is a great game overall and I play it all the time. It’s just why it crash. ### 4/5 — Games great *2026-08-01, version 0.10.5* I love this game, however I really wish you could add the Lancaster and it be free to play with. 🙏🏻😁 ### 4/5 — Uhhhhhhhhhhh *2026-07-12, version 0.10.5* The sensitivity is waaaay too high so when I turn, it makes me do barrel rolls. >:( GIVE US A SETTING TO TURN DOWN SENSITIVITY!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👹🤬👹👹👹👹👺*update* Four stars because it doesn’t let me take off with the JU 88 A-1 but everything else is 😊 Suggestions: pls add Lancaster bomber and B-17 *more update* The new update has spoiled absolutely EVERYTHING. I can’t play games involving npcs, PLUS, I can only take off and land with both the Blenheim planes! Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Pacific theatre *2026-07-08, version 0.10.5* It would be nice for a separate game for the pacific theatre but this game is fine ### 5/5 — Great!! *2026-07-05, version 0.10.5* Add a Lancaster which you can equip a bouncing bomb ### 5/5 — Добавьте самолеты ссср *2026-07-02, version 0.10.5* Добавьте советские самолеты пожалуйста 🙏 ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2026-06-30, version 0.10.5* I love the game but we need there to be like some u-boats and add some anti-submarine aircraft to make it even more consistent with the numerous u-boats that would camp out in the channel Please ### 4/5 — Please help *2026-06-29, version 0.10.5* The other day I was thinking about buying the workshop and the money it cost was there and now the money isn’t showing I’ve tried restarting my device deleting my game and redownloading it but now all it is saying is x usd. So please reply and tell me what to do ### 5/5 — Can you add the American planes *2026-06-29, version 0.10.5* I really like this game I really wish that day you guys could add like World War II planes that are for like the Pacific war like I’ll be 25s SPD dauntless TV one devastator‘s all those type of World War II planes I really liked now there’s American and German but I would really like for you guys to add the Pacific and the American ### 5/5 — A good game *2026-06-27, version 0.10.5* Add FW190 ### 5/5 — What should be addressed *2026-06-25, version 0.10.5* The game is perfect the mechanics of the gameplay is Amazing but the only bad part is is that you can’t walk through the plane and you can’t walk around after bailing out if these features were added the game would be above any bother game with planes ### 5/5 — New features *2026-06-23, version 0.10.5* Can you add like a German coast line aswell as a separate map and movable AA cars that would be cool! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-06-17, version 0.10.5* Although my game crashes a lot, (not the games fault, just my device) there is a great amount of aircraft, but I do wish that there were more missions, and maybe a online combat mode , with an objective, and all of that. But, great game! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-17, version 0.10.5* I love the game, but there is three ideas that might make it more fun. The first idea is that you add occupied France, so we can bomb Germany. But also add more British bombers, like the Lancaster. And last make it to where you can shut off or turn on individual engines. Great game, love the physics. ### 5/5 — Good but I have a few suggestions *2026-06-17, version 0.10.5* Can you please add junker Ju 52, fw 190 and also different lands like d-day and Pearl Harbor and also some tanks that the players can drive and American and Japanese planes and I really want a Germany map so we can fly b-17 and b-24 against German airfields and factories and more British bombers and campaigns like defend Britain in the battle of Britain and cover soldiers on d-day please do this and I will do everything to support the game ### 4/5 — LANCASTER! *2026-06-08, version 0.10.5* It would be nice to see big bombers and maybe even some new countries like early US fighters and it would be nice to see better damage models. ### 5/5 — Good game. needs some stuff though *2026-06-03, version 0.10.5* This game is really good, but I think there could be way more planes to be added, like the British Lancaster, or Wellington bombers. Fw-190s, along with some new heavy ordinance like rockets on the hurricanes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is too hard *2026-06-24, version 0.10.5* Every time I try to take off, I crash or something even though I do what the video say and when I try like doing the ones that are make me in the air I my plane just flips over like it doesn’t even care and I can’t even control it. I don’t have nothing to like. Tell me where to go. This game is too hard. I’m never playing this game again. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-05-18, version 0.10.5* It has swastikas in it so don’t play it ### 1/5 — Good just the way it is but need some upgrades *2026-05-17, version 0.10.5* So it’ll be cool to add like lifeboats and stuff and more planes and please make another game like this but earlier and like the 21st century ### 1/5 — 13+ Gambling Predators *2026-05-15, version 0.10.5* So the dev a student has been increasing its paywall like you have to spend money to get a single plane there is a gatcha mechanic where you can get planes like the b-17 and Lancaster and have a astronomically low chance to get them 1% chance so Apple rise the age rating to 18+ ### 1/5 — Racist symbol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-04-15, version 0.10.5* If you have any content related to n*zi ideology it should be banned unless it has the beam cross (Balkenkreuz) and it won’t be banned ### 1/5 — Speechless *2026-01-19, version 0.10.5* There is no target assignment logic for wingmen at all (three aircraft chasing the same enemy), and they only care about stealing kills. Nobody is covering my six o’clock, and the flight controls feel sluggish and unresponsive. My cannons and machine guns feel like they’re shooting sugar pellets with zero damage (for example, I hit the cockpit of a Bf 109 with nine 7.7mm rounds, and the pilot was completely fine). Meanwhile, enemy machine guns and cannons seem to have built-in auto-aim. On top of that, the gun convergence distance can’t even be adjusted. Can you please put some actual effort into data balancing? If not, just roll the stats back. 😅😅😅 ### 1/5 — i used to think this was peak gaming... *2026-01-04, version 0.10.5* the worst part is the new joystick size... it's my number 1 problem!!!!!!!! please fix otherwise perfect 🛩✈️🛫🛬 game ALSO PLEASE ADD DIFF LOCATIONS TO SPAWN + A SHIP THAT SHOOTS AT YOU!🛬🛬🛬🔫🔫🔫🔫⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ ### 1/5 — Controls and turning . There needs to be a tutorial *2025-11-04, version 0.10.5* For some reason the aircraft is so hard to control and fly. Like one time I was going down the runway then it randomly tipped over. ### 1/5 — There’s a error whit the game *2025-07-31, version 0.9.1 Spearhead* Hello, I purchased the premium package on iOS to unlock the raf collector pack , but after restoring the purchase and restarting the game, the aircraft does not appear or cannot be selected. I’ve confirmed I’m using the latest version of the game. Could you please help me activate the spitfire canon or check if my purchase was processed correctly? Thank you. ### 1/5 — Please add the new us warbirdplanes like the p40 and f4u and p51 and p38 and more *2025-07-01, version 0.9.1 Spearhead* Add the p40 and f4u and p47 and a1 sky raider too add it now and add the new update too plzs add it now July 2025 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-06, version 0.10.5* This game is nothing short of incredible. The physics are phenomenal, the level of detail on every bit of the game is just phenomenal and even the sound design is really good. Love it!! ### 5/5 — My favourite game on my iPad *2026-08-06, version 0.10.5* This is such a peak game. Its damages model is so realistic but it takes so little processing power so you can play on your low end devices. Also note to the dev I played for the for 2 bundles it was so worth it, keep up the awesome work ### 5/5 — THIS IS A BANGER 🔥 *2026-08-04, version 0.10.5* Has so much potential I love this game I have been gunning for a while now all I ask is for a major update will even pay 💰! ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing game *2026-08-01, version 0.10.5* Sky on fire is for sure the best fighting style plane game you can get. Amazing realistic combat mechanics for both fighters and bombers. With no adds! As of now, you can fight over Dover harbor with many British and German planes. For the devs, I would like to see some American planes and more options for when you bail out and touch the ground, including walking and maybe being able to operate flak guns after. Bigger differences from the German and British pilots would be good as well. There aren’t any problems but my suggestions. 5/5 star game! ### 5/5 — i just found your easter egg *2026-07-29, version 0.10.5* great game thumbs up 👍 ### 5/5 — Things to add *2026-07-21, version 0.10.5* I think a great addition would be the to add Lancaster’s now adding American aircraft I think would be nice. The game says to 1940 so the US wasn’t involved so the Lancaster is all I will ask for because the heavy bomber category hasn’t been filled. so please add Lancaster’s or another heavy bomber ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-13, version 0.10.5* This is a good WW2 game for its price. It’s as good as it seems and the effects are pretty spot on. I’m waiting for more planes as more updates come, so as far as my review goes, right now this is 5 stars. You nailed it Vihn. ### 5/5 — Goated Game+Suggesrion *2026-07-09, version 0.10.5* I love the game but the controls are ao sensitive for me 😭 Suggestion: You should make a different game with the same mechanics but, its centered in the pacific theater and you can recreate famous battles like: the battle of midway, the tulagi raid, The Sinking of the Carrier Shoho, or The Attack on the Carrier Shokaku! I could see dive bombing missions on aircraft carriers or airfields on islands. ### 5/5 — Please read if your a creator of this game *2026-07-07, version 0.10.5* Can you make 1944 defense of the Reich like an option so I can play on iPhone because my iPhone can’t download mods and can you make more planes free only like the overpowered ones you need money to buy them ### 5/5 — Redbaron *2026-07-07, version 0.10.5* I love the red baron skin for the Messersmicth BF 109 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
