### 4/5 — This is great!

*2026-08-19, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I love this game very much, it’s just that you need to buy different packs to progress further into the game. So devs, if you see this review, can you pleeaassseee make it so that to get the packs you need to unlock certain achievements. Please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Upgrade opinions to make it supremely fun even though it already is fun

*2026-08-18, version 1.6.0.0.22*

Hello SFs admins i wanted to say that can you make a online option or at least make it a purchaseable expansion ao friends can launch online serevers or private multiplayer worlds and even launch their own space programs thanks for considering this idea

### 5/5 — Please add astronauts

*2026-08-17, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I wish they have astronauts, but it’s impossible to have astronauts in your rocket. Add rockets were so astronauts could go inside.

### 5/5 — TUFFFFF (best space game I’ve played)

*2026-08-17, version 1.6.0.0.22*

literally my fav space game but the bugs I’ve been encountering was when I’m in build mode the app just closes on their own but everything else 11/10 🔥

### 5/5 — My game keeps crashing

*2026-08-17, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I’ve been playing for a while and there’s never happened to me, but recently my game has been crashing a lot and I don’t know why developers if you can fix this, that would be great thank you

### 3/5 — TS getting boring

*2026-08-17, version 1.6.0.0.22*

This game is moderate atleast, because with the limited building space and no part clipping, it get boring and I don’t have money to buy the whole bundle. Atleast make infinite build space and part clipping not a cheat

### 1/5 — Good but on problem

*2026-08-24, version 1.6.0.0.22*

The game is pay-to- progress because you only have a set amount of space for parts you could use the files to change how much space you have but it's not fair you pay a bundle to progress EVEN WHEN YOU GO TO DEEP SPACE AND PLANETS YOU NEED THE ION ENGINE THE MOST EFF ENGINE I know in 2023 you can get everything for free but there new players and the game is blowing up because 1.6 and no use of mods devs/ creator please respond to this(edit)  IM AM NOT BUYING THE BUNDLES FOR STUPID PARTS

### 1/5 — It’s horrible

*2026-08-24, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I can’t play 5 minutes without crashing or flashing back or kicking me out fix it

### 1/5 — The worst game of my life

*2026-08-23, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I first played this game in 2020 and all was fine until pay to win came and the dev slashed high prices at us, 1.6 beta for android only, mods locked until you pay a high fee and UNFAIR GAMEPLAY, I used to like this game AND NOW I HATE IT, STEF WHATEVER THE HELL YOUR DOING FIX THIS GAME, YOUR JUST LIKE EA (Electronic Arts)

### 1/5 — Please add very easy mode

*2026-08-23, version 1.6.0.0.22*

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2026-08-23, version 1.6.0.0.22*

### 1/5 — Freezes on iphone 17

*2026-08-20, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I play for a bit and randomly it will start freezing up. Doesn’t matter what im doing, building, flying etc, it will just freeze. I tried restarting my phone, updating it nothing works.

### 1/5 — Purchased full bundle but it keeps freezing

*2026-08-20, version 1.6.0.0.22*

After trying the free version for a while, I purchased a full bundle when on sale, but every time I try to use it, the app freezes and I cannot really make any progress. Hope developers notice this and fix it soon.

### 5/5 — Best space game.

*2026-08-26, version 1.6.0.0.22*

This is the best space game I’ve ever played I’ve been playing for around a year I don’t find any crashing problems or stuff. In my opinion best game on the App Store wonder how good sfs 2 will be probably a lot better and it will probably be #1 on the App Store

### 5/5 — The actual rocket peak..!

*2026-08-26, version 1.6.0.0.22*

This game might actually help me get my degree !

1# I build a rocket by accident 

2# accidentally torture capsules by turning in circles, I managed myself to stay stable

3# accidentally got on orbit 

4# I forgot the heat shield, Rob sadly passed away.. 

5# added a heatshield and managed to get to a high orbit, got spare fuel so I went to the mum (moon) 

6# ran out of fuel when landing wed is now stranded on moon

2025-2026

Back on game and realized there are new stuff

THEY ADDED WATER 😭 

full on solar system

wed still stranded on mum (moon)

### 5/5 — Crash

*2026-08-25, version 1.6.0.0.22*

Great game but keeps crashing on a iPhone 17 pro which is crazy

### 5/5 — Space shuttle

*2026-08-25, version 1.6.0.0.22*

Space flight simulator 2

### 5/5 — Greatest game ever

*2026-08-23, version 1.6.0.0.22*

It’s kerbal space program in your pocket. I have preformed every real life mission in this game. You can build almost perfect Saturn v’s ,SLS, titans for Gemini, redstone absolutely anything. New 3d game coming out but you need to play this first so you can appreciate where it came from. I’ve paid for this app and all things available for purchase on 3 different devices I love it so much. That being said. To the devs. Game is freezing bad right now. Can you take a look? The bug is a new one that I haven’t seen before and I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. 10/10 game. Get it. Pay for it. When the second one comes out get that one too. Please devs fix the bug it’s locking up iPhones.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-23, version 1.6.0.0.22*

Great, but one glitch, if in career mode (or mods) with solid fuel, if you revert 30 seconds or 3 minutes, or exit to main menu and then resume game, while a solid rocket is burning (meaning you revert to when a solid rocket’s burning), you can no longer see the rocket plume from it, but you still accelerate and the fuel doesn’t go down, otherwise great game

### 5/5 — Docking in orbit

*2026-08-22, version 1.6.0.0.22*

This game is fun yes but I just can’t seem to be able to dock in orbit I was thinking it would be nice to enable a setting called auto dock so you select the rocket or space station and click a button called auto dock and it will automatically dock for you like it will automatically setup a encounter and stuff and will auto line it up so it’s easier to make space stations and stuff but I think so that you can’t just always use it you get one a day or you can pay or something to get double everyday or something like that or like $1 for unlimited for an hour or something I know you guys probably won’t see this but I think this would make it a lot more fun and one more thing auto dock is only available on easy mode any 5 out of 5 star game in my opinion love that there’s no ads

### 5/5 — FreeBundle

*2026-08-22, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I JUST WANT THE FULL GAMEPASS!!!

### 5/5 — Good but keeps crahing

*2026-08-22, version 1.6.0.0.22*

I’ve been playing Spaceflight Simulator for about 3 years and it’s a really good game. But recently it keeps crashing every time I try to play. It used to crash after around 10 minutes, and now it closes after about 1 second, even in a new world. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone, offloading the app, deleting rockets, and reinstalling, but nothing fixes it. Please look into this because I really enjoy the game and want to keep playing.

### 5/5 — Awesome, very good

*2026-08-22, version 1.6.0.0.22*

So sorry that those people need to pay, but you’re not me to pay because it has only better ones, but if you pay for the full bundle so awesome! It will unlock all of the bundles. You can buy one bottle or two bundles of three buttons in one day so make sure to save your money but I have it so I’m so happy for if I have it.
