★★★★★ Over the years this has become a swamp where most things you want to do to progress require real money or watching super long ads.
★★★★★ You pay $65 for VIP, and still get ads?!

nimblebit,Could you please add an aircraft carrier in the next update that does not require VIP status to unlock? Many players have enough money to buy it but cannot do so because they are not VIP members, which can be disappointing for them. Therefore, I kindly request that you add at least one aircraft carrier in the next version that can be unlocked and purchased without requiring VIP status. Thank you for considering my suggestion!

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026

BORING as an Expensive game can B.. Congrats

★★★★★Aug 30, 2026

used to be a very fun game with minimal micro transactions. Over the years this has become a swamp where most things you want to do to progress require real money or watching super long ads. lame. used to love this game

★★★★★Aug 27, 2026

the game is great, I have been playing since it released on the ipod touch, the only thing that I think is missing is some larger planes, sure there are some special ones but some more variety would be somewhat nice, it doesn't exactly need to be large planes, just some new ones to work with. would also like to see a increase in the events that happen at t3 airports, other then that it's a good game.
