User reviews

Peaceful and engaging

Who knew launching hot air balloons all around the world would be so much fun?
I choose a location then watch to see what the balloon drifts over. The post flight report is fun to see some highlights from the journey.
The team is already responsive to the community requests on the Discord server.
Drift on!
