The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay, often leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Many players express a desire for an option to remove ads, especially given the high prices of in-app purchases, which they find excessive and unreasonable. While some acknowledge that ads are expected in free games, the sheer volume and frequency of interruptions have led to a consensus that the game feels more like a cash grab than a balanced entertainment experience.
“The in-game purchases aren't outrageous and aren't really necessary.”
“Pros: a lot of aircraft has free flight, a lot of fun missions, can go supersonic, good graphics, highly controllable planes, very few in-app purchases, and the few purchases that are there are cheap. Very few ads and the ads that are there last for only 5 seconds.”
“This is a good fun game with no ads and good controls.”
“The sheer volume of ads is ridiculous; you spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game.”
“It's a great game that I would otherwise give 5 stars to, but the prices for in-app purchases are outrageous and insulting.”
“The game is fun but the number of ads is despicable; it makes the game almost unplayable.”

The gameplay of the game is generally well-received, with many users praising its smooth controls, enjoyable mechanics, and realistic flight experience. However, frequent advertisements and in-app purchases detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among players. While some find the gameplay addictive and fun, others criticize the physics and bugs that hinder performance, suggesting a need for improvements and updates.
“Excellent gameplay, some challenging levels, and you can land on flat spots (not only on airport runways) very realistic handling!”
“The gameplay is a nice change up for those who enjoy flying airplanes; the controls are a breeze to learn and the graphics are above average as well.”
“Awesome gameplay, excellent graphics and functional user interface.”
“The physics and flying mechanics are complete rubbish and make no sense.”
“This game is so buggy and full of ads it is almost impossible to play. I don't recommend this game to anyone; they charge so much to buy things in the game and they make it full of bugs. Total waste of time and money. Dear developers, please care less about the money and actually concentrate on the gameplay.”
“Not exactly sure how this made editor's choice. The aircraft sounds are very unrealistic, and that coupled with the fact that they have adverts on top of adverts, even those adverts have their own adverts. Anything you do is followed by an advert; it's honestly like the app is just for watching adverts with the odd gameplay squeezed in.”
