  1. [R14] Airline Commander 4/5 · US Good …… but the jobs: I’ve been playing for a while and I wish I could do like the full on route with no skipping from take off to landing I just want it to be all of the route like no skipping at all

  3. [R23] Airline Commander 5/5 · US Fun best plane game ever but would be give if stuff changed: The game is amazing the landing system and situations take offs is really realistic the simulation flight exams are amazing getting new planes too but really need to change a bug in the events where you tap to rent a plane and it won’t let you rent it you don’t rent it you just stay on the menu for events
  4. [R29] Airline Commander 5/5 · US 😯😯😯: This game is the next generation flight simulator it’s so addictive I play 4 hours a day (I know 5 stars isn’t enough it deserves 20 stars 🤩)
  5. [R1] 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.
  6. [R3] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Daily check-ins are broken: They implemented daily check ins a while ago and then stopped, and have since started again. Every time open the app now I get stuck on a daily check in screen and can’t play. 10/10.
  7. [R4] Airline Commander 1/5 · US 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.
  8. [R6] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Stuck on daily reward screen: I have been playing on and off for 8 years and it’s a good game. The main issue is today I loaded in and immediately got stuck in the daily rewards screen with no X button. I restarted the game but the same thing happened. Today i tried again and it was the same thing. I can’t play the game anymore and it’s really annoying. Devs please fix this.
  9. [R5] 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.
  10. [R9] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Ok: Too many ads. Expected the game graphics to be more realistic but was disappointed.
  11. [R16] Airline Commander 1/5 · US Greed: They crammed in so much advertising that they defeated themselves; now it's impossible to enter the game. · translated
  12. [R19] Airline Commander 2/5 · US Better upgrades: I shouldn’t have to pay hundreds of dollars to get a upgrade when I been playing this game for years stop playing with the money and let me get some good cash routs so I can fly some bigger planes
  13. [R12] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Okay game: The first thing I want to say right away is that the service you will receive for bugs and issues is incredibly kind and patient. With that aside this game does make you watch thousands of adds in your career of playing this game. The shop I very confusing (It uses a lot of capitalism). But besides the adds this game is incredibly well built with incredible graphics for mobile users. It
  14. [R18] Airline Commander 3/5 · US WHY?: Every single time I try to start an activity, (on iPadOS 26.4.2) the game crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME. Why? Because you guys don’t care for ur customers and only the money. Why not make it high-quality like RFS? Because you guys are ‘busy’ with RFS. There’s airline commander too, right? Or at least make updates that actually help the experience and listen to your customers. Also, being busy wi
  15. [R52] Airline Commander 1/5 · US Do not Update!!!: I just updated this morning and I was a commander before the update. The update reset all my progress!!!! This is not the first time it has happened and the developers never contacted me. 869 days down the tubes…. Again… that is almost 3 years!! Here we are again. Another 4 years (now 2026) and can’t connect to server. I’m betting it crashes completely again and have to star
  16. [R70] Sky Warriors 1/5 · US Why the new update 🫩: There is a particular kind of betrayal that only happens in gaming, when the thing you loved most about a game gets quietly ripped away in a patch, buried under a list of “improvements” like it never mattered. That’s exactly what Sky Warrior did. The multiplayer with friends wasn’t just a feature, it was the feature, the reason you booted the game up, the reason you stayed
  17. [R22] Airline Commander 1/5 · US Tooo many ads and you have to pay to use!: There are way too many ads and it’s too hard to get any money. The game keeps crashing too. When I’m flying and I’m ready to get my new plane, I have to buy $8 worth of the currency just to get the license of a tiny plane. The ads on the other hand, tooooooo many! It’s like here’s an ad and now that its done here’s another and another and another. IF YOU
  18. [R24] Airline Commander 3/5 · US Los anuncios!: El juego está bien recreado con buenas mecánicas y buena jugabilidad y es compatible con muchos dispositivos asi que cualquiera lo puede jugar,pero hay demasiado “anuncios” y eso dificulta la jugabilidad y son molestos
  19. [R10] 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.
  20. [R13] Airline Commander 1/5 · US 10th gen IPad is a no go: This game crashes every single time I try to play, and I don’t know about you, but I’m not gonna buy a fancy new IPad just to play this game - it’s totally not worth the frustration. While I did get to enjoy it once or twice, my overall message to players with 10th gen IPads is don’t get it. For those of you with newer IPads, have fun!
  21. [R102] Sky Warriors 3/5 · US Devs please help!: Very happy with the game. My only complaint is it’s impossible to invite friends into your squadron. They can’t even find mine and we just want to fly together…
  22. [R73] Sky Warriors 1/5 · US Help support is not a thing: I had my daily login reward restarted for no reason and they did nothing. Just an AI response that had nothing to do with my issue and there is no way to contact them. Ok game play but the chest and rewards have major issues. There is also no way to contact them and they delete any issues you have if you follow up! Remove and report this developer!!!
