1. [R1] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US Absolutely terrible: I have played other manager games and this is by far the worst. Complex interface, poor tutorials.. pass it by
2. [R17] Airlines Manager 4/5 · US Read this!: Ok overall, I quite like this game. It’s fun, pretty fast-paced, and not impossible to accomplish anything in like some other tycoon games. I also really appreciate that it’s not P2W (Pay to win). But, BUT, some of the menus are VERY confusing. You can figure them out by tapping around for a while, but it would be awesome if there was a tutorial or something for every menu, because tha
3. [R2] Airlines Manager 4/5 · US Bugs: Every once in a while I’ll check in and just have zero profit made on a route I’ve had since the start or my demand amount glitches and has it as if I have no planes on the route it’s prevents me from knowing if anything is being ran properly and really ruins the experience.
4. [R10] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US Error with no help: In the middle of a limited time event there is an error preventing me from collecting rewards. On top of this there is no way to get help. This after paying lots of money on content.
5. [R24] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Keeps freezing: The game freezes every so often.
6. [R30] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US This “redeeming money” bug is getting annoying: So like when I’m getting cash, I’m getting rich. But like when I redeeming cash, my balance keeps not changes at all or just it changes. Like I feel like there should be no cooldown on when redeeming money. Bc I could’ve been rich, but I didn’t. I feel like it’s a 45% chance of getting $ and 55% chance of redeeming. After this event, this has to stop
7. [R9] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Needs no ads option: Fun game nut way too many ads to really do anything. You can buy an AM Gold membership, which is nice, but how about for a few dollars more per month tomhave no ads? Then you could really sit down and enjoy the game. Gets old really quick having to watch an ad every time you try to do something.
8. [R18] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Too many ads: It’s needs to have less ads but overall it’s a good management simulator
9. [R21] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Fun but aggravating: The game has been fun but recently the ads have lacked an “X” button. So you’re just stuck on the ad in a doom loop and you have to close the game with no reward. It’s become so prevalent that I’m considering quitting the game.
10. [R26] Airlines Manager 5/5 · US LISTEN: So I just want to remind you that I have played other games that I haven’t played in a long time and it said: this game is free so we have put ADS IN THE GAME! So this game is free right? So DONT ADD ADS!
11. [R3] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Livery’s: I like this game so much but I want the livery system to be more realistic, you should only have to pay for one livery and be able to put it on all your aircraft instead of having to make new ones for each aircraft and paying for them.
12. [R15] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Paint jobs.: Why are we not able to have one paint job for our fleet? I would like my 777-ER the same color as my 797-9. I noticed the the British and France aircraft have the paint for 99% of the fleets from 777 to 320
13. [R16] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US Paywalls on features that shouldn’t have them, and removing features that shouldn’t be removed: So, as if removing airlines painter and all non cloud saved liveries wasn’t bad enough, you make the new built-in painter worse in every aspect. You have to pay for more slots, which you didn’t have to do before in the painter app, and plus the new painter is horrible to use and adapt to for users who w
14. [R42] Airlines Manager 3/5 · GB Bring back painter app: Great game, getting better with challenges and earning perks like in came credits, although the new in-app painter is absolutely awful to use. The old dedicated all worked perfectly and had so many more featured. Has really made me dislike and stop playing this game
15. [R7] Airlines Manager 2/5 · US Keeps starting over: I have made a account 3 times and it just keeps starting me over not even letting me sigh in Over all good game
16. [R13] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US Scam: Game is a scam. You spend money and then are forced to start over and you lose the coins and the money you spent.
17. [R40] Airlines Manager 2/5 · US Deleted 2 years of progress: I got a notification that my session had ended. this happens all the time, so I just signed in again, but everything was deleted
18. [R25] Airlines Manager 2/5 · US It’s all about the money now: At first you could compete but, they’ve changed the game to now to be competitive you have to spend real money or your airline with slowly go bankrupt
19. [R32] Airlines Manager 4/5 · US Fun Game: I’ve played this game for years. Fun game. Would recommend to anyone that understands different aircraft types and enjoys the idea of building an airline! Although hiding mass pricing behind what is essentially 2 pay walls is pretty disappointing.
20. [R36] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Not a terrible game: It’s not a terrible game. Seems like you can progress without having to pay but it looks like there is a subscription service that would make it easier. They used to have a free daily reward in the shop that you didn’t have to watch an ad for but with the recent update it seems to have gone away. Now everything is behind an ad or pay to play. Maybe I’m missing it but I haven’t
21. [R45] Airlines Manager 3/5 · GB Ok game but…: Ok game and better than a few but it’s filled with cartoony rubbish that I got fed up with almost immediately, and I verymuch like simulators/ strategy games of this type. As with most mobile games, microtransactions all over the place and you’d be better off saving that cash and buying a console or pc that constantly paying for these limited games.
22. [R6] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Not great, not terrible.: Missing some airports such as those in the US Virgin Islands. Some of the airport categories are completely unrealistic when compared to what actually flies to those airports.
23. [R22] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US SWA is wrong！！！！: Where did I encounter a problem:Hub Purchase Country Selection The problem you encountered: SWA is wrong！！！！ How I encountered the problem: SWA-Shantou waisha Airport has been upgraded to Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport, the runway grade has been upgraded to 3200 meters, the runway grade should not be 6, should be 9, the same as NGB Ningbo lishe International Airport!
24. [R23] Airlines Manager 5/5 · US Awesome Game but what I would like to see in the future: I would like to see a different flight path not just straight flight to and from make it a flight path. I would also like to see a satellite view so I can see where they are flying over exactly. and if you could add flight delays or cancellations due to a lack of maintenance. and if you could just add some more private jets and prop engines
25. [R27] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Estancado: Siento que se estancó. Y me refiero a la esencia del juego. ¿Retos? Eso no tiene sentido, por otro lado, debería manejarse el tráfico semanal y más real, vuelos con escalas y horarios reales. Si se puede porque hay otro simulador de aerolíneas que lo hace.
26. [R34] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US Not near as good.: This game was great for a long time. Then the game was sold to a new, larger, developer, and it has gone down hill. No true development in last 12 months. Just new challenges that cost money to complete. The moderators bully players in their discord server, and they allow bullying from other members. They don’t follow their own ToS.
27. [R20] Airlines Manager 5/5 · US Waiting for 10 years still without Chinese: Chinese!please Chinese!thanks a lot! We need Chinese from China fans
28. [R37] Airlines Manager 1/5 · US No Chinese: There's no Chinese. · translated
29. [R39] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Por favor: Es un buen juego y tiene muchos fans en China. ¿Se puede añadir el idioma chino? Estoy tan cansado de jugar esto en un idioma extranjero
30. [R44] Airlines Manager 5/5 · US Please Add Chinese Language Support: I really enjoy playing Airlines Manager: Plane Tycoon, but I find it difficult to fully enjoy the game because there is no Chinese language support. Many players in China would love to play this game if a Simplified Chinese version were available. Please consider adding Chinese language support in future updates. It would make the game more accessible and enj
31. [R51] Airline Commander 1/5 · US Crashing Overheating: Phone overheating and crashing will update review on next update, love the game feel like I can land a plan in real life now.
32. [R55] Airline Commander 4/5 · US Too much pay to win: I’ve been playing game daily for 6 years and am still far from the top. Can we please get more credits per flight for those of us that don’t have thousands to spend on a phone game? Thanks! Great game. Great programming. But set up for paying players mainly.
33. [R59] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Ok: Too many ads. Expected the game graphics to be more realistic but was disappointed.
34. [R60] Airline Commander 2/5 · US Fix it or I will not play: The game crashes every time I land or take off. I can’t even do a simple landing with out it crashing. I keep having to reload the game every time and I don’t like it. If you don’t fix the game I will never play again.
35. [R65] Airport City Manager Simulator 2/5 · US End if an Era: I played this game for 10+ years and it’s time to hang it up. What was once a fun game to play and build has turned into a game that lacks creativity and meaningful reward. The ads are one thing but the recent switch from 3 stars per destination to 5 stars removed the sense of accomplishing something. I wish there was an upgrade that honored overflying these cities back when 3 stars
36. [R66] Airport City Manager Simulator 5/5 · US Yall should get this game: Im an avgeek, and it can be a bit triggering seeing 747 Concorde with Boom Overture engines, but this game is a vibe, five stars
37. [R67] Airport City Manager Simulator 3/5 · US Awesome game hooked for life… but the ads: Playing this game is fun it brings back the joy of having a game that is really fun to play and this is definitely my number one favorite game to play and also make the ads for the free stuff at the end of the ad there is no x to get off the ad and get the reward and it probably is going to take me at least 100 try’s so please. Fix the glitch
38. [R68] Airport City Manager Simulator 1/5 · US Pay to win: I am a some one with child settings and it sad I can’t play this game even though I’ve had it for 5 years that makes no sense so that means this it pay to win because like I sad if played this game before and it is child friendly but now it’s more pay to win
39. [R79] 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.
40. [R80] Airport Master 4/5 · US ads: too many ads
41. [R81] Airport Master 3/5 · US DONT WORK: Doesn’t work since update. Just crashes. iPhone 16pro
42. [R82] 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
43. [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
44. [R94] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 5/5 · US amazing: i love this game it changed my life
45. [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.
46. [R96] Merge Planes Idle Tycoon Inc. 5/5 · US Merge Planes: Fantastic and addicting game. Can’t put my phone down.
47. [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.
48. [R108] Idle Airplane Inc. Tycoon 5/5 · US great game: this game only has ads if u want to get rewards
49. [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 ?
50. [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.
51. [R12] Airlines Manager 3/5 · US Uhh🫥🫥😐🫤: Can you fly the airplanes?please answer me.
