  1. [R1] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Worst ad length: They chose the longest ad option, every ad is at least 90sec to 180sec?! That’s just the annoyance by the minute, the long downside is, that there are only 4 same amenities in each Prestige level, which is relatively short, but I think that’s fine, keeping it simple. Mainly use this just for the visual for my 3yo to kill time, but not worth playing. The instant gratification i
  2. [R7] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US Ad glitch…: I enjoy playing but after a certain point you are forced to watch ads. The ads itself is not the problem but once it takes me to the ad there is no getting out. It freezes every single time! I have to completely close out the game making it impossible to play. Well, It was fun while it lasted…
  3. [R19] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Ads: There are so many ads popping up randomly that this game is unplayable.
  4. [R23] Idle Tap Airport 4/5 · US Great! But too many adds: This is a great app! But if you get it, I recommend getting the no adds, because every time you want to level up, or get money in some ways, it always makes you watch an add! Which I think is VERY annoying! Also, another reason I don’t really like this app that much, is because every time you want to unlock a new place where your airport takes place, you have to sell the
  5. [R6] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Glitches: I love this game but the passport sections continues to freeze and ruins the whole flow of the airport and gameplay.
  6. [R9] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Good to pass time but bugs everywhere: The game is fun to play but many time you will pay to upgrade something in the airport and it will charge the money but doesn’t upgrade the actual thing. E
  7. [R15] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Broken: The passport counter is broken, it takes way too long and greys out for no reason and isn’t preventable. The game without that issue is pretty cool though.
  8. [R3] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Needs a lot of work: WOW this is boring. Seriously, you could at least add some music and sound effects. I’m interested in the game and see it’s potential but I honestly don’t see myself playing this for too long
  9. [R4] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US Not bad: The game would be much better if you could earn the star by completing tasks or achievements. If you added more upgrades like food courts, arcade stuff like that it would be better. You can almost beat the game in two days. I downloaded it last night and I’m on the last airport already.
  10. [R11] Idle Tap Airport 5/5 · US AWESOME just want you to add 2 things: Hi. I want you to add just 2 things. I want you to add a taxi line and terminal A, B, and C! Thanks!
  11. [R24] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Music And SFX: Would you please add music and sound effects (SFX) to this game? Thanks in advance!
  12. [R28] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Cash grab scam: Just another game which spams you with ads. It’s unplayable unless you watch the ads. They spam them. Best part is that the lazy scammers didn't even make any audio for the game. it was out if their budget. Don’t waste your time with this chinese data collections app.
  13. [R41] Idle Tap Airport 4/5 · US Bugs Bugs: Awesome game, very glitchy no sound, game freezes alot once the devs fix these minor bugs I’m good to go👏🏽👏🏽
  14. [R16] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Paid for double profits didn’t get it: How do I get a refund ?
  15. [R49] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US Restarts after you get a new airport: It was quite annoying when I made it super far into the game and I bought a new airport and it sold my other airport and didn’t give me my money. If you are looking at getting the game make sure to note this.
  16. [R51] Stone Miner 1/5 · US Good… at first: So when I first downloaded this game it was pretty fun, but then it only had 10 or 20 levels and I beat it in 2 hrs
  17. [R53] Stone Miner 3/5 · US Decently fun: What I mean by this is that there is an ad every 2-5 minutes and many times it transports you to another section of the level when it returns. Rather annoying for both of these to happen so often
  18. [R54] Stone Miner 1/5 · US NEED MORE LEVELS: I absolutely love this game. Best game ever. But I NEED more levels!!! I finished this game twice already and ran out of levels to play. PLEASE ADD MORE LEVELS
  19. [R57] Stone Miner 1/5 · US Too many ads, unplayable pirated games: Too many ads. · translated
  20. [R65] Airport Master 1/5 · US No Longer Working: Game hasn't been loading since update 1.67. Had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to open. I'm not starting over now. 0/10 DON'T RECOMMEND.
  21. [R66] Airport Master 4/5 · US ads: too many ads
  22. [R67] Airport Master 3/5 · US DONT WORK: Doesn’t work since update. Just crashes. iPhone 16pro
  23. [R68] Airport Master 1/5 · US Waste of money: Don’t pay for no ads the game still forced you to watch ads to hire or buy any staff and claim that it’s free
  24. [R79] PreFlight Airport Parking 2/5 · US 2 stars for the app. 5 stars for the service.: Everything about the service is great. However, the app doesn’t show my reservations. It will let me book one; but it doesn’t show up. Have to go to the site to see it. Same issue as another reviewer. Using the lookup by conf # feature, it asks me to login (even though I’m already logged in). Take me to the setting screen, then when I go back,
  25. [R80] PreFlight Airport Parking 4/5 · US Great Service but the app is glitchy: Awesome service for parking and shuttle. Drivers are kinda and always help with bags. The app is a little slow and often times the reservation screen is blank after you reserve spot. Have to wait a few minutes for the email to come in for your entry bar code.
  26. [R81] PreFlight Airport Parking 3/5 · US App update: Love the actual service from Preflight but the recent app update has made it 100% useless. Can’t book or view my parking pass. Must use the website now.
  27. [R82] PreFlight Airport Parking 2/5 · US App is still mostly useless: I have an account and have purchased parking several times via the website while logged into my account. I’m logged into the same account on the app, but reservations booked refuse the show. I enter the confirmation number, it confirms a reservation was found, and the app asks me to log into even though I’m logged in. The next screen just randomly brings me to my setti
  28. [R93] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 2/5 · US Servers are down: Servers are down for Merge Plane, Merge Plane Neon, and Merge Car. Merge Bike works fine but the three games above don’t. Login and leaderboard don’t work though ads do. Please fix ASAP. Thank you
  29. [R94] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 5/5 · US amazing: i love this game it changed my life
  30. [R95] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 3/5 · US Fun base game. Insufferable ads: Fun idle game to play, enjoyed when I was younger and enjoying now. The base game atleast. The side games are in the way. My biggest gripe with this game, and most games now are that the ads are insufferable. Especially in this one. I bought a package that said “takes care of most ads” and I feel no difference.
  31. [R96] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 5/5 · US Merge Planes: Fantastic and addicting game. Can’t put my phone down.
  32. [R107] Idle Airplane Inc. Tycoon 1/5 · US Once you max out No other Airports: Once you have upgraded all your airplanes, airports, money, and parts there is nothing else for you to do. The game doesn’t have any other areas that open up. Such as routes to Europe or other countries. It’s a waste of time and money.
  33. [R108] Idle Airplane Inc. Tycoon 5/5 · US great game: this game only has ads if u want to get rewards
  34. [R109] Idle Airplane Inc. Tycoon 3/5 · US Good game , small bug: Game is great , but I can't watch any Ads for any extra income / suitcase. It keeps saying "ads not ready" . Can help fix it ?
  35. [R110] Idle Airplane Inc. Tycoon 1/5 · US Restoring purchases doesn’t work.: Ads to progress faster/VIP wouldn’t work so I tried deleting the app. Upon redownloading and restoring purchases I lost everything including what I paid for. Frustrating.
  36. [R25] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US You might as well just watch ads: This game is full of ads. Impossible to play.
  37. [R20] Idle Tap Airport 4/5 · US Great but not awesome: I like this game but after A while it is boring you know? So please can you add a little bit more to the game so it wad more fun? Thanks
  38. [R46] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Made very poorly: I was really excited to try it when I got it but it was really disappointing. First off, it has no sound so it’s gets boring and there is no tutorial so I didn’t have a clue what to do but eventually I figured it out. I didn’t like it so I deleted it. I hope the developers spend more time working on it.
