Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription23%

32 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Not to mention that the premium subscription has additions that should just be part of the base game.
★★★★★ This after paying lots of money on content.
★★★★★ There should be more ways to get money like a week contest on who can move more passengers and like awards for safety like every week or every month.
Too many ads22%

30 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ads don't let you x out and are too long.
★★★★★ They make you watch ads for spinning the travel cards wheel and opening a free booster pack, and now the mass pricing is AM subscribers only.
★★★★★ Interesting concept, but there's no way to play for over 15 minutes without watching numerous ads and paying real money.
Bugs, things not working14%

20 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ In the middle of a limited time event there is an error preventing me from collecting rewards.
★★★★★ fun game but can be glitchy.
★★★★★ Bug voos sem gerar receita!
Lost data, sync, backup10%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I opened the app today and everything is gone!!
★★★★★ After closing the app the game deleted my save and I had to start over.
★★★★★ You spend money and then are forced to start over and you lose the coins and the money you spent.
Crashes and freezes9%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's an interesting game with a lot to do and learn, but there's some bugs in the programming that cause it to freeze randomly in tutorial areas where your advisor is leading you through a task.
★★★★★ I built my airline for almost a year and now I'm to the point where it's not worth my time to try and recover it, as support link doesn't load and pc support sends me to a forum that doesn't recognize airline manager.
★★★★★ Gets frozen halfway through step 4 of tutorial, prior to that next button in tutorial also sometimes doesn't register.
Login and account problems8%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ My account was changed to a previous account with one star, it's just terrible.
★★★★★ Can't log in securely and they want your email address.
★★★★★ I have made a account 3 times and it just keeps starting me over not even letting me sigh in
Missing features8%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I had even bought a paid package, tonight when I opened the app, everything was gone, and it started with set up screen again, with no option to bypass.
★★★★★ On top of this there is no way to get help.
★★★★★ Missing some airports such as those in the US Virgin Islands.
No customer support6%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also couldnt find support to contact
★★★★★ It is stupid that this company wouldn't think of the possibility of people losing their liveries after suddenly removing support for an app that up until recently was the only way you could create liveries.
★★★★★ Just goes to blank screen and no way to contact the company.

Fun, addictive23%

70 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ In the end, I've voluntarily watched more ads for boosts than I have seen in other games, and I am thoroughly enjoying myself.
★★★★★ I love this game, as it actually simulates the details like emergencies and realistic supply/demand. I have some suggestions though. -More Soviet/ Russian aircraft, like how if you are trying to make a Soviet state…
★★★★★ It's fun, pretty fast-paced, and not impossible to accomplish anything in like some other tycoon games.

★★★★★ I love this game, as it actually simulates the details like emergencies and realistic supply/demand.

Worth the money5%

14 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ 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!
★★★★★ Since I'm a simple minded person who likes to create this mechanic was perfect for me and allowed for me to create liveries for aircraft designated to Germany for free by the way!
★★★★★ I love the game however I got rid of it for awhile due to it costing a lot to get a airplane
Easy to use4%

12 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The ability to have two accounts at once, and to have such a complex system with such an easy to use UI make the game not only user friendly but easy to play any way you want.
★★★★★ Since I'm a simple minded person who likes to create this mechanic was perfect for me and allowed for me to create liveries for aircraft designated to Germany for free by the way!

★★★★★ It's fun, pretty fast-paced, and not impossible to accomplish anything in like some other tycoon games.
★★★★★ Ok so I was getting a loan, but my 66,666,664 dollars are disappearing this needs to get fixed fast.

Lost all my progress!

I opened the app today and everything is gone!! I love this game, and had built my fleet over past one month to about 120 planes. I had even bought a paid package, tonight when I opened the app, everything was gone, and it started with set up screen again, with no option to bypass. Also couldnt find support to contact

PLEASE READ

Amazing game very high end realism (Though I wished there were 3D models and more interaction with the planes themselves) Love the game.But I’ll get to the main point It’s incredibly expensive at Pay to win at some Points the game is a little bit too complex and auto maintenance to an extent (Every few week (In game time) We should be allowed to have auto maintenance for free. Plus it’s very expensive compared to profits. And in game items are very (incredibly overpriced) I also say that **The game needs some Ground all Aircraft I used to play on my Og acc and when I came back I’m 10 Bill in debt and had like 500 planes I’m not grounding all of the !** Please fix this or the rating will never reach 5 stars from any sane person

★★★★★Sep 16, 2026
This Game Becomes a Chore

This game is super fun, don’t get me wrong, and when I’m deep in the addiction, it’s easy to pop in a few times a day to do maintenance and stuff, but the one day you skip, you’re $500,000,000 in debt and you just give up on the save. Not to mention that the premium subscription has additions that should just be part of the base game.

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026
Deleted my save for no reason

After closing the app the game deleted my save and I had to start over. It asked me to create a new airline then froze half way through. What a waste of time

★★★★★Sep 2, 2026
Perfectly Casual

Let me preface by saying that it is so rare to see a game that isn’t forcing ads down your throat at every opportunity that this game immediately stands out. In the end, I’ve voluntarily watched more ads for boosts than I have seen in other games, and I am thoroughly enjoying myself. The ability to have two accounts at once, and to have such a complex system with such an easy to use UI make the game not only user friendly but easy to play any way you want. I fear I am utterly hooked.
