Overall, players appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, with many noting that the game features only optional rewarded ads. However, there is a strong desire for a one-time purchase model instead of microtransactions for additional content, as some feel that the current monetization strategy feels exploitative. While the gameplay is generally well-received, concerns about the need for real money to unlock certain features and the limited initial tokens are common points of frustration.
- “No ads.”
- “I'd pay for the app to have no ads or microtransactions.”
- “Very good game; no ads and I would definitely recommend it for people who have small phones that can't run most of the games.”
- “However, I'm quickly losing interest in playing after obtaining the one in-app purchase you can get with earned tokens instead of money.”
- “I like that the game isn't crammed full of ads, but would prefer a one-time purchase fee for all the content, like games used to be.”
- “I am very understanding towards many games as I am a game developer myself, but I feel that we shouldn't have to pay a great deal of money in exchange for maps; this instantly feels like a slap to the face towards your consumers as they'll feel the game is a cash grab.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its fun and engaging mechanics, while others criticize the difficulty of flying and landing, particularly due to unrealistic throttle behavior. Many users suggest that the game could benefit from improved mechanics and polish to enhance replayability and overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, some players find the gameplay enjoyable and commend the absence of intrusive ads.
- “Pretty good gameplay and the only ads there are are rewarded.”
- “Definitely could do with some more polish to the graphics but the gameplay is the best I've seen, and even though I've only completed 1 flight in like 2 hours of playing, it is still super fun.”
- “Awesome traffic and gameplay; basically everything is cool.”
- “The concept was executed really well for this game, but the reason I'm giving it a 2-star rating is because it is so hard to fly and land with whatever the vertical speed mechanic is. In real life, if your plane is at 0 percent throttle, it can glide; in this game, at 0 percent throttle, you literally drop out of the sky.”
- “Overall, it lives up to my expectations, but the gameplay is a little lackluster.”
- “Not just being constantly annoyed at the gameplay.”

grinding
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and repetitive, particularly due to the need to repeatedly purchase cockpit items and navigate long, monotonous maps. The constant pressure to avoid crashes detracts from enjoyment, leading to a desire for a more relaxed gameplay experience despite the game's solid physics.
- “It gets very tedious. I hate having to buy cockpit items over and over again. It would be nice to make it save flight to flight. The maps are kind of boring, and you can't relax at all; you're always trying not to hit a hill or lose your rating or stay out of the wind. The maps are long for the same thing over and over again, and the game gets unexciting fast. I wish you went with a more fun and relaxed approach. The physics are good, though; just the constant focus not to crash sucks.”
