  1. [R4] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US Not bad: The game would be much better if you could earn the star by completing tasks or achievements. If you added more upgrades like food courts, arcade stuff like that it would be better. You can almost beat the game in two days. I downloaded it last night and I’m on the last airport already.
  2. [R11] Idle Tap Airport 5/5 · US AWESOME just want you to add 2 things: Hi. I want you to add just 2 things. I want you to add a taxi line and terminal A, B, and C! Thanks!
  3. [R17] Idle Tap Airport 5/5 · US I like it: I like it but it needs more slots for my planes because I have 12 of them so I can get more people at one time.and I need more slots for my travelers 🧳 because my line keeps filling up and I can’t do anything about it but I still like it and can you make it realistic
  4. [R20] Idle Tap Airport 4/5 · US Great but not awesome: I like this game but after A while it is boring you know? So please can you add a little bit more to the game so it wad more fun? Thanks
  5. [R12] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Good potential but…: So I just downloaded this game and I have to say that it is very frustrating. It is nearly impossible to get money to upgrade different things without watching ads. It is also frustrating how long it takes to get through each part of the airport. It is so hard to advance through the game when there is always a long line somewhere or angry people somewhere else. If you could ea
  6. [R18] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Needs some work: I really like this game but it takes way to long to progress because of how expensive it is to upgrade things. I also feel like the amount of money your are making should be double or triple the amount amount of money you are spending to make the airport better. It takes way to long to make money.
  7. [R21] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US The game is too hard: I don’t know why but I think it’s too hard to play, it’s slow to earn money and everything is expensive.
  8. [R40] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US slow: way to slow
  9. [R6] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Glitches: I love this game but the passport sections continues to freeze and ruins the whole flow of the airport and gameplay.
  10. [R7] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US Ad glitch…: I enjoy playing but after a certain point you are forced to watch ads. The ads itself is not the problem but once it takes me to the ad there is no getting out. It freezes every single time! I have to completely close out the game making it impossible to play. Well, It was fun while it lasted…
  11. [R9] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Good to pass time but bugs everywhere: The game is fun to play but many time you will pay to upgrade something in the airport and it will charge the money but doesn’t upgrade the actual thing. E
  12. [R15] Idle Tap Airport 3/5 · US Broken: The passport counter is broken, it takes way too long and greys out for no reason and isn’t preventable. The game without that issue is pretty cool though.
  13. [R1] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Worst ad length: They chose the longest ad option, every ad is at least 90sec to 180sec?! That’s just the annoyance by the minute, the long downside is, that there are only 4 same amenities in each Prestige level, which is relatively short, but I think that’s fine, keeping it simple. Mainly use this just for the visual for my 3yo to kill time, but not worth playing. The instant gratification i
  14. [R19] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Ads: There are so many ads popping up randomly that this game is unplayable.
  15. [R23] Idle Tap Airport 4/5 · US Great! But too many adds: This is a great app! But if you get it, I recommend getting the no adds, because every time you want to level up, or get money in some ways, it always makes you watch an add! Which I think is VERY annoying! Also, another reason I don’t really like this app that much, is because every time you want to unlock a new place where your airport takes place, you have to sell the
  16. [R16] Idle Tap Airport 1/5 · US Paid for double profits didn’t get it: How do I get a refund ?
  17. [R68] PreFlight Airport Parking 5/5 · US Easy and professional: The staff and drivers are always very helpful. You can get a live person on the phone to help you navigate apps or reservations online, redeem points, or other help. Love the parking ease and the people!
  18. [R79] PreFlight Airport Parking 1/5 · US Still broke and no one wants to fix: I have used their services for several years, but their app doesn’t work for location and for reservations. I have three devices I’ve logged onto and cannot get the app to work, they blame my devices and their final resolution is to use a desktop and print out my barcode. That’s great IT service!!!
  19. [R88] PreFlight Airport Parking 1/5 · US No reservations: The app never saves reservations, so you have to log into the website from your phone to get the option to save a reservation to Apple Wallet. They're response is this is a "known issue" for over a year
  20. [R25] Idle Tap Airport 2/5 · US You might as well just watch ads: This game is full of ads. Impossible to play.
  21. [R61] PreFlight Airport Parking 2/5 · US 2 stars for the app. 5 stars for the service.: Everything about the service is great. However, the app doesn’t show my reservations. It will let me book one; but it doesn’t show up. Have to go to the site to see it. Same issue as another reviewer. Using the lookup by conf # feature, it asks me to login (even though I’m already logged in). Take me to the setting screen, then when I go back,
  22. [R64] PreFlight Airport Parking 2/5 · US App is still mostly useless: I have an account and have purchased parking several times via the website while logged into my account. I’m logged into the same account on the app, but reservations booked refuse the show. I enter the confirmation number, it confirms a reservation was found, and the app asks me to log into even though I’m logged in. The next screen just randomly brings me to my setti
  23. [R67] PreFlight Airport Parking 1/5 · US buggy: rezzie wont show up despite being logged in and making the rezzie in the app. have to print out voucher or screenshot it for phone. pointless app that cant do the basics
  24. [R70] PreFlight Airport Parking 1/5 · US App is bricked: Pre-Flight has treated me right but in the last few weeks the app no longer shows my reservations. Hopefully my email code works
  25. [R65] PreFlight Airport Parking 5/5 · US Late night arrival at Boston Logan: My husband and I arrived at Boston Logan airport after midnight on Saturday, January 27. We were so very happy to see a PreFlight van outside the Delta terminal! The driver was extremely helpful with loading all our bags into the van … skis, boot bag, suitcases, etc! At the parking lot he put our luggage directly into our Subaru! Thank you Preflight!!
  26. [R80] PreFlight Airport Parking 5/5 · US App User Friendly: I've always used PreFlight as my parking destination when I travel. I haven't had any issues, and the entire staff is great. Download the app!
  27. [R83] PreFlight Airport Parking 5/5 · US Great Parking: I love parking here and the shuttle is great getting you to and from the airport.
