However, there are a lot of bots in the game which make it hard to win battles and earn coins. If the developers could filter out bots so battles are more realistic, then I would say 5/5. In addition, the game can be glitchy/slow. ### 4/5 — Awesome but needs some adjustments *2026-08-02, version 2.2.4* I love being able to go to different airports and catch some really cool airplanes. Though when I first saw it I thought you could catch airplanes by capturing a real photo of them. I still really like the game, but I think they should make it where if you catch the plane by actually taking a photo of it you should get an extra XP and money grade ### 2/5 — Cool *2026-08-01, version 2.2.4* I had it for like 10 minutes and was trying to see if I could upload my own photos of planes and couldn’t find it. If I missed how, whoops. But if it’s not there I think it would be a cool thing ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2026-07-31* Very good however liveries should be added as well and made to be rare, like for example the westjet Disney livery should be included as rare and others ### 3/5 — Generell ein gutes spiel mit einem großen Problem *2026-07-28* Das Konzept Flugzeuge live wie Pokemon einzufangen ist ein tolles Konzept das mir großen Spaß macht. Der Battle-Modus ist eine tolle Idee, leider wurde diese schlecht umgesetzt. Wenn ich (als Anfänger) mit meinem Deck in ein Battle gehe bekomme ich immer nur die stärksten Gegner, gegen die ich mit mal eine Chance habe. Da der Battle Modus so ziemlich die einzige Möglichkeit ist um zügig an Geld zu kommen, kann das sehr schnell sehr frustrierend werden, da man ohne Wetteinsatz auch nichts gewinnen kann. Man sollte ein besseres Matchmaking System einführen, dass Gegner anhand der Siege oder anhand derer Karten einstuft und sich dadurch nur Gegner mit gleicher Erfahrung bekämpfen. Als neuer Spieler ist dieser Modus UNSPIELBAR. ### 3/5 — Car friendly *2026-07-19, version 2.2.4* Hard to use while driving, can’t focus on the road too much. If the font and icons are bigger, it would make this app such a better experience! ### 4/5 — 4 stars if they balance battles. *2026-07-13, version 2.2.4* I love it but i get rolled by higher level players in battles. There needs to be skill matching ### 4/5 — Needs Welsh Flag *2026-06-27, version 2.2.3* Very good game. Love the lack of adverts. Would get an extra star if I there is a Welsh flag background! ### 4/5 — Great game - just not fully flushed out *2026-06-26, version 2.2.3* Super great game and mechanics. Issues with the game are due to it being a little bit of a collecting game and a little bit of a battle game. Battling, for example, is terrible unless you’re maxed out because there are no levels/tiers. You play against the elites when you have basic cards. It’s impossible to win unless you get lucky. Addition of “fleets” has been super cool though ### 3/5 — Freezing on ads *2026-06-23, version 2.2.2* Watching ads to get 🤑 and it freezes when I get to the end of the ads. Hope this can be fixed! I’m loving the app otherwise ### 5/5 — Wieder richtig gut geworden *2026-06-19* Endlich wieder ein richtig starkes Spiel und viele tolle Funktionen ### 5/5 — Quality Game *2026-06-17, version 2.2.1* Extremely addicting, Extremely Hooking, Extremely fun, i sit on this game for hours in my free time, even at work this game has me in a chokehold ### 5/5 — Great Game for Aviation Fans *2026-06-14, version 2.2.1* Downloaded this game and it is very cool. It lets you collect real flights and the ads are also optional, unlike a lot of games. They also recently added a feature to see the list of fleets you have caught and the exact planes of those fleets. I am excited to see them update this and add more features, and I slowly growing my card collection . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-03, version 2.2.4* I thought this game you would take a picture of the plane in real life. NO. Theirs a time limit for planes to catch horrible game. DONT BUY ### 1/5 — Horrible if you have screen time *2026-08-03, version 2.2.4* So this looked like fun so I downloaded it but my parents still control my screen time and have disallowed all location sharing and the stupid thing is this dumb app makes you share your location to even use the game o dont understand why they need our location to use the app like we can find where we are on the map anyway we don’t need to share our location horrible app guys ### 1/5 — Get rid of the terrible staff team on the discord *2026-07-30, version 2.2.4* The discord staff team is the absolute worst and most tyrannical staff ever they ban people for doing nothing and then ban people for asking y someone else was banned. They warn and mute anyone who disagrees with them in any way and they make the game not enjoyable. Also the devs dont listen to the players at all. ### 1/5 — Parts of the game don’t work *2026-07-30, version 2.2.4* The game has an official discord. It is baked into the UI and it asks you to join. It is moderated terribly, merely mentioning other resources or websites to do with the game will get you a ban. Even saying a word “sack” vaguely related to another resource is an instant ban with recourse or appeal. I presume the devs are happy with this heavy handed approach. The discord has a “suggestions” board that is never used but it is the only way to log bugs. Basically the game is broken by the devs directing people to a discord and then banning them for asking for help. ### 1/5 — So much wasted potential *2026-07-19, version 2.2.4* I though that you clicked on a plane and then took a picture irl-that would have been great ### 1/5 — Terrible cash grab *2026-07-05, version 2.2.4* Pay a lot of money to wait around a bunch to play the game which is just pressing a button to take a photo, only to have to wait again 30 minutes and again pay $$$ to take another photo. Once you’ve captured a photo of a plane, spend money to upgrade it, then reset all progress on the seasons similar to battle pass. Just a pointless cash grab that’s fun for the few people dropping tons of money for what I am not sure. ### 1/5 — Straight Up Fraud *2026-07-05, version 2.2.4* This app is now just outright defrauding users. I watched an ad, and the scam ad had an X underneath the X button that says Reward Granted and it granted me nothing. Then with the next ad, tapping the X next to Reward Granted did nothing. I restarted the app and on the next ad, it did the same thing. I restarted my phone and on the very next ad it also would not close and give me my photos. 0/10 for dishonesty. ### 1/5 — Não gostei *2026-06-13* Não gostei ### 1/5 — Why aren’t you listening? *2026-06-11, version 2.2.0* It’s a very interesting game and easily gets you hooked into playing. However, I have given up with my complaints and bug reports, as the Devs simply do not care and don’t even bother responding to their support tickets. So, if you’re going to ignore my bug reports. Then how about this… Why is the icon for the A319 larger than the one for A320? It’s a much smaller aircraft. And now with 99.5% cloudy sky when attempting to catch an aircraft, you have to press; X and Catch almost 20 times until you get a partial clear sky but when you actually get clear sky, you’re weaving all over the place and very rarely catch the aircraft in the box, unless you use the camera stability option. STOP the cheating Devs, play fair and let us play like we once did. I wish I could give zero stars, as it’s not even worth one. ### 1/5 — $20 for nonsense *2026-05-27, version 2.1.3* Crazy they think that $20 for seven days is worth that cost. This business class is a joke ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! But could add another feature? *2026-08-03, version 2.2.4* It’s a great app and I love the new updates, however it would be even better if there was a feature where you can only see the planes which you have not yet collected! ### 5/5 — Day 2 of asking *2026-07-19, version 2.2.4* Can you pls add sky cards on to iPad please ### 5/5 — Great for plane enthusiasts *2026-07-18, version 2.2.4* If you love plane spotting or just aviation in general I think the inclusion to real planes is great. ### 5/5 — Cards *2026-07-04, version 2.2.4* I absolutely love the game i have been playing for a year now and the only thing that i think need some improvement is the models in airpedia i think that they look kinda fast made ### 5/5 — Good Game *2026-06-30, version 2.2.3* I like it. ### 5/5 — So much fun *2026-06-30, version 2.2.3* Great game to play while relaxing ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-27, version 2.2.3* Game is awesome! Would be really nice if there was a feature where you could hide the planes you already caught just so you don’t have to click every plane in the zone to see if you’ve already caught it or not. ### 5/5 — Really?! *2026-06-26, version 2.2.3* I already spend enough time on ADSB and FlightRadar24 and you just HAD to go turn it into a game??! 😩😩 If you’re an avid planespotter this can be a legit tool to use to see how rare an aircraft is. Keeping a running database of your catches is also a plus! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-06-23, version 2.2.2* Would be cool if they added a diamond card at like 1.5 mil xp ### 5/5 — Scratching the itch *2026-06-23* I love this game. It’s super fun, scratches the itch and delivers a personalized experience based on your location. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
