But - beware the screen-rotate-glitch: if your screen rotates during play, all controls will be inverted. This happens with and without screen lock. When it happens, the only way to reset is to close the app and restart. ### 3/5 — Good but unrealistic *2026-04-06, version 0.3.3* This game is a great game for a WW2 Pacific and it is fun to play. However your training plane is the F4F Wildcat which was a plane in the Pacific but it is a fighter not a torpedo bomber and a dive bomber plus it didn’t carry rockets. But other than that it is a fun game. ### 2/5 — Bad flight control *2026-01-10, version 0.3.3* The game worked perfectly until when I opened it one day it suddenly wouldn’t let me steer the plane and the enormous wait time for the fuel to refresh after the game made the mistakes and made me crash because I had to hold the phone up 2 feet above my head so it wouldn’t crash was not fun to play. ### 3/5 — Good game *2025-10-07, version 0.3.3* Needs updating Been playing this game on and off for a while but there have been zero updates or changes to the game, some additions would be nice. ### 3/5 — Fuel limits are BAD game design *2025-04-09, version 0.3.3* Good flight game but held down by the fuel mechanics ### 2/5 — Joy Stick Terrible *2025-02-26, version 0.3.3* If you slip slightly outside circle you lose control of plane. Very frustrating especially when you are finally progressing on a mission. Frustrating enough to just stop playing. Other apps move with your joy stick finger. ### 4/5 — Easily-Fixed Contrast Issues *2025-02-09, version 0.3.3* Just started playing the game on my iPad and iPhone. On my phone, in particular, there’s a huge problem with the cursor, speed & altitude on-screen display due to the shifting contrast in the sky and other background elements. I do web development, where this can be huge problem as well, but I found a very simple solution: you create an exact copy of an element one in white and one in black where they offset each other by a pixel or two, creating the equivalent of a shadow so that it displays clearly against virtually any background. It’s literally a 5 minute fix. Haven’t worked with Unity, but there has to be the equivalent of CSS like HTML has. I’ll even fix it for you free of charge, if ur not sure how to do it. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would appreciate it! ### 5/5 — W *2024-12-25, version 0.3.3* Wonderful ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2024-11-28, version 0.3.3* This game is amazing!!! Literally one the best air combat games I’ve played EVER. Just one small request, to please add accounts so when you delete the game your account saves Thank you! ### 5/5 — Make a sequel *2024-11-02, version 0.3.3* Great game amazing graphics planes and gives you a look at both sides of the war please make a part two ### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable But Needs More Aircraft For Both Japan And USA *2024-10-25, version 0.3.3* I Was Wondering IF You Guys Could Possibly Hopefully Add Some New Aircraft IN The Game Like The Twin Mustang P-61 Black Widow P-63 Kingcobra SBD Dauntless ### 5/5 — it’s such a screwed game and I love it anyways *2024-10-23, version 0.3.3* This game is pathetic it doesn’t make any sense planes cost to much everything is too expensive and it takes forever to load…….and I love it still ever since I got the game I’m starstruck just one thing……..ADD A CHAT!!! We need one ### 3/5 — Glitched and now i can’t play it anymore *2024-10-13, version 0.3.3* The controls have been inverted so that when i tilt my phone down, the plane goes up and vice versa. I dont know how to fix it. I’ve had to replay this game twice now because of the glitches controls. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-06* This game is like a real life simulator and it is so fun to play if I could rate it out of ten I would say ten ### 5/5 — There’s some bugs *2024-10-06, version 0.3.3* Bomber mission can’t complete- pls update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bad design *2026-06-08, version 0.3.3* It is impossible to shooting down the plane when using mobile devices. ### 1/5 — Useless - controls freeze *2025-12-09, version 0.3.3* This is a great game, until the controls stop working correctly one week in - then it is useless. Invert/touch/tilt all do the same twisted up controlling. Infuriating. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2025-11-18, version 0.3.3* 3rd mission in the training the controls inverted and wouldn’t change back, costs fuel for every restart and forces you to watch ads. Utter garbage. ### 1/5 — Thumb stick and delivery time *2025-08-20, version 0.3.3* Every time I die it’s because of the worst thumb stick design. Why is it the size of a dime and stops working if my thumb barely drifts from it even tho my thumb never stops touching the screen. WTH is delivery time. Every mobile game is ruined by this same trope. Deleted. The actual game was decent but the draw backs ruined it ### 1/5 — Bad default *2025-08-14, version 0.3.3* After a certain mission I believe #8 the game automatically defaults to the non-inverted y axis and you cannot change it. Hours wasted booooo!!!! ### 1/5 — Worst game in history *2024-08-17, version 0.3.3* To hard on the missile level at least give like 7 missiles ### 1/5 — TRASH *2024-05-22, version 0.3.3* What happened to the old game WINDS OF STEEL and we got this monstrosity of a WW2 ace game what a ripoff of the classic deckeleven winds of steel ### 1/5 — Older version better *2024-04-01, version 0.3.3* I prefer the version before all the new stuff when it was just a war and you could go back and reload and sink ships and down planes the fact they took that away and made this mission thing I don’t like at all ### 1/5 — Controls don’t work right *2024-03-22, version 0.3.3* Every time I fly the plane inverts. I read some reviews and I’m not happy about this game because it looks good with the graphics. The one time it flew correctly it was so hard to get a decent landing. It crashed so easily. Not fun. ### 1/5 — Very stupid game *2023-11-16, version 0.3.3* The game company doesn’t know how to design a game. They set missions with very tight time limits, and player won’t have any fun from these stupid settings. Never touch it again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This so cool *2026-07-14, version 0.3.3* Cool ### 5/5 — Update！！！！please…… *2026-06-04, version 0.3.3* Wings of steel is a good game. It surprised me and gives me a great satisfaction of fighting in the air. But I’m more interested in the German planes. Such as bf109,fw190,me262 and so on. So can you give me a new update about wings of steel:Europe?please...... ### 5/5 — Uno de los mejores juegos de aviones que e jugado, *2026-04-26, version 0.3.3* Waoooooo solo puedo decir magnífico único, ojalá los juegos de ahora tuvieran la dificultad y las prestaciones de este juego, super bueno ### 5/5 — Love the game but……… *2026-04-12, version 0.3.3* Mission 9 and 13 are the hardest missions I’ve ever done in my life 13 is unfair because you think that’s is just the 4 ships but no you have to fight 3 planes too which is unfair because you take damage from the ships then you have to fight the planes and 9 is so hard because 3 zeros and 3 radens and that’s hard because the zeros do damage and a good amount then you fight the radens and those hit harder then the zeros so if you can please make it easier then it is please, still love the game one of the best WW2 games I have ever played and I play a lot and it’s hard to impress me because I’ve very good WW2 games and I say that this one of the best ever good job on this game Update:mission 13 is possible but you have to not take any damage from the ships but the mission is still really hard and on the jap campaign the mission were you use the Betty first is actually impossible because the Betty can’t defend it’s self and the enemy is faster and can turn fast then the Betty and my favorite mission is 5 in the jap camping were you test your skills so hard that if you come out of that mission with 20+ seconds you are one of the best players in the game and can you make it so the planes fire more rounds than two because it does make me just a little less impressed but still love the game please take these tips and put them in the game it would make the game better and make me happy thank you ### 5/5 — Great game but not enough missions or aircraft *2026-03-06, version 0.3.3* One of the best games I’ve ever played, but there’s just not enough missions. I’ve played all the missions multiple times and you need to add some dive bombers and an F6 F hellcat. ### 5/5 — Wings of Steel *2026-02-04, version 0.3.3* What a great game!! Completely underrated. Gameplay is realistic. Missions are challenging enough to be fun but not too difficult to enjoy. Graphics are incredible for a mobile game. ### 5/5 — I love Wings of Steel *2025-11-13, version 0.3.3* Hi. I love the game. 10 star rating. Can you please add the B-25 and B-17? Thanks 😀 Kelly ### 5/5 — Music *2025-10-11, version 0.3.3* Hi. I love the music in the game. Where is it from? 10 star rating. ### 5/5 — 见评论 *2025-09-06, version 0.3.3* 对于一款单机游戏来说已经很好了 ### 5/5 — 天闹黑卡半载😡 *2025-02-11, version 0.3.3* 帝国空軍の栄光のために、私の祖先のために、万歳😡😡😡 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
