ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sky Aces holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sky Aces has 164 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Sky Aces's written reviews are positive against 100% of Air Ace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sky Aces ships an update every 6 months, Air Ace every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
