- [R1] Extreme Landings Ads so long you crash: This game was amazing but with the addition of full sized ads while you can’t control your plane has made the game unplayable
- [R9] Extreme Landings Ads: I have to start with giving props to the developer. Great graphics, control and gameplay. I don’t mind the ads BUT the timing is terrible…. As soon as the flight starts…so does the ads, I can’t control the plane due to it flying in the background during the ads. By the time the ad is over, my plane has already crashed. So I have to restart the mission and there goes another ad. But it also se

- [R7] Extreme Landings EVERYTHING IS LOCKED.: When I first got this game, I had high expectations. But after playing for a while, I realized one thing, LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS LOCKED!!! You literally only have one plane, six missions, and if you want to do more missions or get more planes or play the flight simulator, you have to BUY THE PRO VERSION OF THE GAME FOR 35$.

- [R10] Extreme Landings 1: You have to by every thing The only part I like is that they heard the Airbus a 340 but they should and stick control control and also A340 in real life it’s a really bad one.

- [R8] Extreme Landings I love the game, but why I gave it four stars: I love it. I like how it when you turn your phone. It turns a plane all in all, but I think you should make the landing easier or is it cause I’m a bad pilot I don’t know just please make the landing easier. And I feel like there is no landing. Tell me if you’re someone else and you know how to land if the owner doesn’t see this.

- [R54] Airline Commander No: I didn’t even get to play the game. It kept bringing me to the home screen and then loading me it kept happening and I tried to restart my phone a log out of the app. Nothing worked. If you don’t want to waste your time, don’t get this game.
- [R55] Airline Commander Too much pay to win: I’ve been playing game daily for 6 years and am still far from the top.

- [R96] X-Plane Flight Simulator Disappointed me when I figured out you had to subscribe: If I saw an X-Plane glazer I would beat them up like they wish they would’ve never existed. This game looked good at first but remove the subscription and I will definitely give this game a second chance, just wanted to play something fun and this came in like a wrecking ball and ruined my day.

It is probably a problem with the game because either a platform that they used to make the game one of them is malfunctioning and it’s not working anymore and the game is just
