Recurring themes

Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, which appear after almost every action (flight, crash, win, fail) and are often long. Many users report that even after purchasing the 'no ads' option, ads still appear, making the purchase feel like a scam. Some users resort to airplane mode to avoid them, but this limits other game functions.R3R4R5R8
Repetitive Content negative
Many players, especially long-term users, complain that levels start repeating after a certain point (around level 35-100), leading to boredom. There's also a desire for more plane options and a purpose for in-game currency (gems/coins) once all existing planes are unlocked.R4R7R15R22
Gameplay Mechanics mixed
While the core gameplay is often described as fun and challenging, several issues detract from the experience. These include planes spinning uncontrollably during near misses, difficulty with takeoff or landing, and fuel running out too quickly, often forcing ad views for temporary upgrades.R3R31R32R40
Bugs/Crashes negative
Some users report the app freezing or crashing, particularly with certain ads. Others mention issues where the plane simply won't take off, making the game unplayable. This contradicts the developer's notes about 'bug fixes'.R50R53R122R149
Lack of Sound negative
A noticeable number of reviews mention a complete lack of sound or music in the game, which detracts from the immersive experience.R61R68R113R144

Who it's for

This game is for casual players looking for a simple, mindless time-killer who don't mind frequent ads or repetitive content R6. It is not for players who expect an ad-free experience even after making an in-app purchase, or those looking for deep progression and variety R4R5R33R45.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the overwhelming ad presence and the failure of the 'no ads' purchase. While there are positive reviews, they often acknowledge the ad issue or focus on the core gameplay loop as a simple distraction. The lifetime rating of 4.4 suggests a more positive historical sentiment, but the recent trajectory is clearly negative.

Frequently asked

Does paying to remove ads actually work in Crash Landing 3D?
No, many recent reviews indicate that purchasing the 'no ads' option for $2.99 does not effectively remove all ads, with users still being forced to watch them frequently to progress or after every flight R4R5R33R45.
Are there enough planes and levels to keep the game interesting?
No, many players report that levels become repetitive after reaching a certain point (e.g., level 35 or 100), and there is a lack of new planes or a purpose for in-game currency once all existing content is unlocked R4R7R15R22.
Why is there no sound in Crash Landing 3D?
Multiple users have reported that the game lacks sound or music, and there is no option within the app to enable it R61R68R113R144.

  2. [R6] 5/5 · US So. Much. Fun!: I’ve been playing for a least a year, maybe longer. It is my go to for stress relief. Try it!
  3. [R17] 5/5 · US I am just in love: Now you might think I am exaggerating but trust me I am not it is awesome!! I love how it is a good amount of hard but I love how also it is a good amount of fun and enjoyable. There are a few levels that can test my buttons but still that is a fun part! I love this game so much and I hope everyone tries it... oh and it is totally free I love that.
  4. [R34] 5/5 · US Very fun: This game is super addicting
  5. [R14] 5/5 · US So fun: It is so fun because each level is harder then the next it is a great game and I gave it a five star rating is because of all these reasons it just has a lot of ads thanks for reading this message.
  6. [R16] 5/5 · US Challenge: Need some skïlls
  7. [R52] 5/5 · US El Capitan: Lots of fun. Very challenging 👍🏾❤️😊
  8. [R4] 1/5 · US Bought It and still forced to watch ads: Still have to watch ads that are much too long after purchase. You can earn different planes but they all perform exactly the same. Basically it’s the same thing over and over.
  9. [R8] 2/5 · US Hope you like ads: You’ll be spending more time watching ads for other games than playing this one.
  10. [R7] 3/5 · US Ehh: It’s decent for the bathroom. But we need more planes. 9 isn’t gonna cut it. Also, I understand you need ads for revenue, but dear god after every flight I take. That’s a lot. It honestly made me stop playing for a while.
  11. [R5] 5/5 · US Was great until Ads: I purchased this game and I’m still being bombarded with ads. Not fun, not worth it!
  12. [R33] 1/5 · US Not worth it.: Purchased the no ads for 2.99 I still get ads ALL THE TIME waste of time and money
  13. [R45] 1/5 · US SCAM!!: so I paid to have the ads removed, but guess what?! Ads still play all the time!! DO NOT FALL TO THIS SCAM APP!!
  14. [R32] 3/5 · US Meh: The levels start repeating, and the spinning is really annoying and makes it hard to land. 😐😐😐
  15. [R46] 3/5 · US Please...: Fun game. My kids and I snuggle and play every night. I’m on level 1000+. Basically playing the same 10-15 levels on repeat for hundreds of turns. Would love to see a few updates for chronic users like me: - give me a purpose for the green gems after unlocking the planes. I’ve looonng ago unlocked them all and now it’s just a waste. - give some new levels for variety - new plane
  16. [R62] 1/5 · US Not fun after a few levels: Once you get to like level 35 it keeps on repeating levels and is not as fun as it was. Also when you get all of the planes there is really no point in playing anymore. So I would rate it one star.
  17. [R15] 2/5 · US Okay game: Needs more planes
  18. [R22] 5/5 · US Needs more planes: I see a lot of bad reviews I honestly think these are from when the game first came out it’s way better now but you can add special planes like the ones in bonus level or like different stages like a night sky and day dusk and dawn even choose maybe different types of the trails likes for that fire looking one the normal fire special which would be the one in the game already fo
  19. [R40] 1/5 · US QUIT MAKING THE PLANE FLIP: Would be much easier to control the plane if it didn’t flip every time I got close to something. SUPER ANNOYING when trying to land on a highway.
  20. [R98] 5/5 · US A lot of ads: It’s an overall great game but I don’t like how obnoxious the plane rolls when you go into a checkpoint it always messes me up.
  21. [R122] 3/5 · US I can’t do the main point of the game.: I think the game is really fun and I got to level 21 until I forgot about the app. When I come back, I hold the screen, and for some reason, I CANT EVEN TAKEOFF! Now I can’t even play the game. I tried over and over again, and it’s just not working. Please fix this! I would of given a higher review but I can’t even play the game anymore. -samcamworm
  22. [R61] 1/5 · US No sound?: There’s no place to turn on sound? Why isn’t there any sound?
  23. [R68] 1/5 · US No sound !!: No sound in the game !!
  24. [R113] 5/5 · US I can’t hear: Can you please add sound to the game please
  25. [R144] 3/5 · US no music: How could you think I can play this game without music and sounds?! horrible game ...
  26. [R18] 1/5 · US Have 2B Add Slave to Play: If you want to have enough fuel to fly and complete the missions , you must keep watching 30 seconds or more of adds each game. It’s just add bait.
  27. [R31] 1/5 · US Abominable: If you play the game regularly and only upgrade fuel, you’ll still end up not having enough fuel to beat a certain level thats impossible to complete so you end up having to watch an add to get an upgrade. the game scams you into watching ads so they get more money from you watching their ads.
  28. [R55] 4/5 · US Mrs.: You loose the fuel too fast!!! 😢
  29. [R50] 1/5 · US App freezes/crashes (no pun intended...) repeatedly: Do not waste your time downloading this app, as it repeatedly fails to function. When it works, the game is fun, but freezes and crashes are so frequent that the app is unusable. Plus on concept, HUGE minus on execution...
  30. [R53] 1/5 · US Bug: I literally can’t even play the game because when i tap and hold to fly nothing happens.
  31. [R149] 3/5 · US Fun game when it actually worked on my phone.: I’m not sure what has happened. It literally won’t take off anymore. I paid to have ads removed and it quit working.
