  1. [R1] Crash Landing 3D 1/5 · US Bought It and still forced to watch ads: Still have to watch ads that are much too long after purchase. You can earn different planes but they all perform exactly the same. Basically it’s the same thing over and over.
  2. [R6] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Ehh: It’s decent for the bathroom. But we need more planes. 9 isn’t gonna cut it. Also, I understand you need ads for revenue, but dear god after every flight I take. That’s a lot. It honestly made me stop playing for a while.
  3. [R10] Crash Landing 3D 2/5 · US Okay game: Needs more planes
  4. [R11] Crash Landing 3D 5/5 · US So. Much. Fun!: I’ve been playing for a least a year, maybe longer. It is my go to for stress relief. Try it!
  5. [R3] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US My rating: I love this game it’s so fun but it only has like 10 seconds oh gas and there is a l commercials but I still recommend this game it’s so fun have a good time playing it❤️
  6. [R4] Crash Landing 3D 2/5 · US Hope you like ads: You’ll be spending more time watching ads for other games than playing this one.
  7. [R5] Crash Landing 3D 4/5 · US The camertails are the problem: Not to bad
  8. [R9] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Airplanes didn’t download correctly: The airplanes downloaded black and white instead of colored like it showed they would be and also what are the gems for ?
  9. [R12] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US D-: I love the game butt for kids it is to hard
  10. [R38] Crash Landing 3D 5/5 · US Money making hack: Play the “hero missions” over and over. You will earn almost 10k in coins each and every time. Game is pretty mindless but satisfying
  11. [R8] Crash Landing 3D 5/5 · US Was great until Ads: I purchased this game and I’m still being bombarded with ads. Not fun, not worth it!
  12. [R21] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Please...: Fun game. My kids and I snuggle and play every night. I’m on level 1000+. Basically playing the same 10-15 levels on repeat for hundreds of turns. Would love to see a few updates for chronic users like me: - give me a purpose for the green gems after unlocking the planes. I’ve looonng ago unlocked them all and now it’s just a waste. - give some new levels for variety - new plane
  13. [R34] Crash Landing 3D 1/5 · US Not worth it.: Purchased the no ads for 2.99 I still get ads ALL THE TIME waste of time and money
  14. [R57] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Fun game when it actually worked on my phone.: I’m not sure what has happened. It literally won’t take off anymore. I paid to have ads removed and it quit working.
  15. [R18] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Meh: The levels start repeating, and the spinning is really annoying and makes it hard to land. 😐😐😐
  16. [R36] Crash Landing 3D 3/5 · US Pointless, but a way to pass time: Honestly I actually play this game a lot, but it’s more as a way to pass time. What I don’t like is that there’s no way to advance in the game, it’s like the levels keep going up (I’m on 144) but they just repeat and aren’t more difficult or anything. Also, whenever you spend coins to buy more fuel for example, it only stays for that level and obviously goes back
  17. [R66] Sling Plane 3D 3/5 · US Good, but no replay value: This game is fun, despite the slightly overbearing amount of ads. By the way, the game looks nothing like you advertise, points off for that. Once you max out your stats and unlock every skin, sling and runway, there’s no replay value. Not to mention, 10,950m seems to be the maximum distance anyone can travel. Maybe some new unlockables or boosts to fly higher and furthe
  18. [R28] Crash Landing 3D 1/5 · US Ads: Way too many ads, also, the game isn’t what was advertised.
  19. [R68] Sling Plane 3D 5/5 · US Stop with your visuals and ads: OK, so far the game is great. I love it. It’s nice but just actually put actual gameplay in the visuals and actual gameplay in the ad like you’re trying to be like when they put fake gameplay in their ads and their visuals, can you please put the original thing by the way every time make it to where the actual people who are wanting to fly through the planes in the
  20. [R79] Sling Plane 3D 2/5 · US Has potential: The previews are fake and you can literally max out the whole game in 3 days. You cannot fly past around the 9.5k mark. With some trucks you can do close to 11k but thats the absolute max. This game has potential to be much more engaging but lazy devs == sloppy work.
