ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RC Helicopter Flight Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RC Helicopter Flight Simulator has 3.8K ratings behind it against 217, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Helicopter Sim Hellfire's written reviews are positive against 53% of RC Helicopter Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Helicopter Sim Hellfire ships an update every 6 months, RC Helicopter Flight Simulator every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
