The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with many users appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to play without mandatory in-app purchases. However, some players express frustration over issues with in-app purchases not functioning correctly and a desire for more opportunities to earn rewards through ads. Overall, while the game is praised for its ad-free experience, concerns about the reliability of in-app purchases and the balance between free play and paid content persist.
“I like that it has no ads and you don't need to pay to play, although it definitely helps if you do.”
“There are no ads and it's not at all pay-to-win, which is a rare thing to say about a free game.”
“The in-app purchase prices are very fair and I love the stock market inclusion.”
“Features have been removed, some have been changed to require in-game purchases; the character, for example, requires a repurchase constantly versus the old games.”
“Don't get me wrong, this is a great game to play for around 24 hours, then you will have no other option to spend your money on in-game purchases... almost impossible to play unless you spend, spend, spend.”
“I made an in-game purchase, money was taken, and I received nothing in return.”

Overall, the experience is enjoyable but could benefit from improvements in pacing, UI design, and additional features to enhance variety and engagement.

“Awesome gameplay, great graphics!”
“The core gameplay involves managing various aspects of an airline, from fleet acquisition and route planning.”
“The gameplay could have been decent, but it’s ruined by the constant push to spend real money.”

“The game is very well made, but the gameplay is unbelievably boring.”
