- [R1] The Concorde: The Concorde is a very fast plane in airplane pro flight simulator is my favorite plane in airplane pro flight simulator
- [R9] Beat flight sim ever: I was so bored and I was looking at this game I downloaded it and IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING.I was expecting bad because of the graphics BUT NO tbh the graphics aren’t that good but I CANT DO ANY BETTER THEN THAT.Also I love that the beluga is in here
- [R22] SOOO FUN: I am upsets with plane and this game is super fun I enjoy it when I’m bored and I like how there’s missions and u have to unlock plane and try to REACH THE END! But I would give it a 100% 5
- [R24] Amiazing: I love it so much. It’s not like other dude where you have to pay before you play in other games it’ll have you login and make an account sometimes people don’t know how I don’t have an account. That’s why I love this game and even has more than one vehicle and you actually have a person and you actually get to choose a boy or a girl I love this game because you have cars boats and I lov
- [R6] Great game! Just one suggestion…: This game is great! And super fun! Great for learning how to fly a plane, and has realistic controls. But there is one thing about the game, the characters that you can choose to fly the plane. You have both genders, but what about different nationalities? I don’t think only white people can be pilots. It would be great if you could add more diversity. Other than
- [R28] It’s a really good game: Fun and easy to play not too hard to take off land turning is really easy
- [R35] From Pilot Al: I enjoy a real life simulator, I just got some flyers back home safe :)
- [R42] Very good game: Just a great game.Very very realistic game,most realistic game I’ve got on my phone,and I’m just happy because it didn’t cost anything to get it though the ads every 5 seconds are annoying sometimes.
- [R73] Almost there, airplane pro: I would have done 5 stars if the Tempest would be less scary. Also, the cars you can drive are not Toyota, or Audi. But, I love the creativity of the missions. Infinite flight may be more realistic, but airplane pro has planes that are easier to fly.
- [R7] No ads: So happy it has no ads
- [R21] no adds: there is no adds and the fact no wifi is great
- [R27] Can an. Cc: That is amazing. I got a couple ads, but it’s so cool. Yea
- [R8] Add add add no good: Horrible imposible jugar sin tener que pagar. Sale un anuncio cada 1 min
- [R10] Full of spyware and ads: No worthy
- [R60] Ads everythere: An app for watching the ads
- [R114] HOLY ADS BRO: Can’t even play the game without watching a 15 min ad. Absolutely ridiculous
- [R142] Game glitches: In levels 2 and 4, there are checkpoints that we have to go through. However, if we follow those checkpoints, it gives an error, which is really frustrating. Very bad i don’t recommend this game
- [R148] Bug Early On: There’s a bug where I try and fly through the green targets and it instantly fails me when I fly through one. Sometimes it does it on the last target. Level 5 or something. So dumb
- [R160] Has potential: Game is fun until you start the missions with checkpoints. For example level 7 you have to take escort an office but you must fly through several checkpoints. It doesn’t matter what angle you enter in the checkpoints it will still fail the mission. So i now just fly solo missions. I hope they fix those glitches.
- [R187] Missed Checkpoints: It keeps telling me I am missing checkpoints when I’m not. I fly through the checkpoint and it tells me I missed it. Level 7 is having this problem for me.
- [R2] It’s like OK, but I need you to work on it: It needs to work like to do like nice kind of people not like garbage type of people and yeah, and it also needs the world to be kind of like the real world but not real and I don’t like how when I go up to the houses they’re always floating yeah I don’t like those and I need you to make the whole game better in the in the people in the whole entire game
- [R31] Awesome: Warning⚠️! the graphics are not as crisp as the pictures are, other than that it’s cool. I wish there was ai car traffic like the airplanes
- [R85] Not great: I liked playing it for a 30 seconds but the problem is that you are the only one flying in the air and the radio keeps repeating the same stuff and there is only one island and It took me one minute to fly around it. I also wish that there is more detail because the pictures are a lot mor detailed than the game actually is. It is also not great because there are only a few planes. Over
- [R133] It’s alright: There’s definitely room for improvement. The space you fly in feels very small, I would love if there were more to explore. You also can barely get any altitude. The places on the ground are messy and glitched, and there are no npc pedestrians or cars, and rarely are there other planes to come across. More missions and overall things to do and explore would be great. The towns feel v
- [R360] It’s ok: It isn’t as realistic as it shows and I really want it so the map is better with other planes flying around which you can destroy by shooting them down with military aircraft
- [R37] Not fair: The plane won’t fly!!!
- [R83] I don’t know why the planes aren’t taking off: The planes were not taking off until the runway and kept getting destroyed I don’t know why the heck you invented this game thank you
- [R106] Cannot take off.: I just got the game and tried to take off, I know all the controls but it does not take off before the runway ends, and I end up crashing. I tried multiple times and It never took off, do not download this, it’s a waste of time.
- [R149] Landing: It is impossible to land with the interior view but its ok with the exterior view they need to make it easier to land with the interior view
- [R3] Great: Perfect but lots of ads
- [R15] Idk: It has ads so a 4
- [R4] Good but could be better: Level three can’t figure out how to do it. I need to fly with the Air Force meanwhile, I’m stuck with an average plane and they have a fighter jet. So the thing tells me to stay with the other planes, but I can’t because first of all I haven’t been trained enough. For the game it’s just level three I have no idea how I’m supposed to stay with them. Also, they are faster,
- [R144] Missions: Overall the game is solid. The only complaint I have is regarding the missions that you have to fly through checkpoints. You can get a “checkpoint missed” screen and have to restart the mission even when your plane clearly went through the checkpoint?
- [R26] Great game: It is kinda not graphics but it is good and it has nice planes
- [R11] So annoying: Please remove the part when u have to go in the circles
- [R14] 2: This game is so hard
