Step into the world of airline route planning, where your goal is to create a flight network to guide passengers to their destinations in a limited amount of time. You get to call the shots on which routes to draw and which cities to designate as hubs that best serve each scenario. The flight maps you design will also need to be efficient and flexible to accommodate for events that may occur, like airport rushes and closures, as its effects ripple throughout your network. With over 350 geographically and historically themed levels to play, each map you make will be put to the test. MAIN FEATURES - Take a step back in time and create flight maps for past historical scenarios, like the 1849 California Gold Rush and the 2012 London Olympic Games - Prepare for the future and create flight maps in realistic inclement weather simulation, including Hurricanes and Blizzards - Understand the present and create flight maps using actual cities, like New York City and Tokyo, to reflect real flight patterns FAN-FAVORITE LEVELS Vote for your favorite level in the Preferences page ① Big Game (Level 36, Contiguous US) ② Silk Road (Level 17, Asia) ③ Big Apple (Level 18, Contiguous US) ④ Sustain (Level 38, Contiguous US) ⑤ Sustain (Level 38, Europe) ⑥ Tourism Capital (Level 20, Oceania) OTHER FEATURES - Play 350+ levels across multiple maps like America, Europe, and Asia - Analyze in-game statistics to help fine-tune your flight map - Speed up or slow down the game to your comfort - Compete for the top spot on worldwide leaderboards - Simplistic interface and experience - No ads FUTURE FEATURES - More maps! - More levels! - More cities!

A driving practice tool for competition robotics teams. Every robot in the app began as a team's own CAD. Each one is rebuilt part by part — real joints, real pivots, real drivetrain geometry — so what you drive on your phone moves the way the machine on the field moves. DRIVE Twin on-screen sticks and a set of mechanism buttons. Pick a robot, tap Drive, and you are on a full-size field with cups, pins and toggles to rotate. MECHANISMS THAT WORK LIKE THE REAL ONES Claws open and close and actually hold a game piece. Cascade lifts and double reverse four-bars run through their real travel. Pneumatic cylinders snap between two positions the way a solenoid does, in the real 25 / 50 / 75 mm stroke classes. Intakes pull pieces in. Nothing here is an animation — each mechanism is a physics joint being driven by a motor model. PHYSICS TUNED AGAINST THE MACHINE Wheel speed is set from the drivetrain's real free-spin RPM. Slam the sticks into reverse and the robot plows to the traction limit instead of stopping dead. Raise a lift and the robot rolls in turns, exactly as a tall robot does. Robots have real mass, and a heavy arm out front changes how the whole thing drives. CONTROLS YOU CAN MAKE YOURS Resize the sticks, change their opacity, drag every button where your thumbs actually are, and reassign what each one does. Switch a mechanism between one-button toggle and two-button hold. Set drive and turn sensitivity. Choose which end of the robot the sticks treat as the front. YOUR ROBOT IN THE APP Send us your robot from inside the app — an FBX exported out of your CAD, or a URDF — and we will build it into a drivable robot and send it back to you. Choose whether it is listed for everyone or unlocked only by a code you pass to your own team. It takes a few days and we tell you when it is done — or tell you what to re-export if the file cannot be made to drive. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO PURCHASES There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to buy. Your settings never leave your device. The app works offline. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by VEX Robotics, Innovation First International, or the REC Foundation. Robot designs remain the property of the teams that built them.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RoboSimL at none against OptiFlight's 3. RoboSimL also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). OptiFlight's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
