About

Finesse

Features
Read full description

This is a space flight game app which is designed to teach subtle eye to hand coordination, an awareness of the physics of mass, momentum and thrust as well as developing a spatial awareness. 

You will control a special flying saucer vehicle which appears to be tethered to the center of your screen. The Earth is at the bottom center of your screen and the saucer starts on the Earth. There are 3 modes for this game, namely: 
 1) Local Training Flight 
, 2) Search Telescope , 3) Deep Space Flight

The first mode is a "Local Training Flight". This presents the moon at the top left corner of your screen and a space station at the top right corner. The objective is to control your saucer by using pitch and roll movements of your hand. 
 The search telescope allows you to peer into deep space to find the 3 space stations. Once you know where they are you can enter the Deep Space Flight mode to guide your flying saucer to these stations. Successful docking will give you points based on which station you select and the remaining fuel in your tanks when you dock. You must return to Earth and land safely to claim your points. A full description is included in the APP using the Guide button.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flight Simulator at Free against Finesse's $0.99. Flight Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). Finesse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
