The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of forced ads, which enhances the overall experience. However, there are significant concerns regarding the reliance on in-app purchases and the effectiveness of ad rewards, as players report issues with not receiving promised rewards after watching ads. While some enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend, others criticize it for being pay-to-win, particularly as progression becomes increasingly tied to purchasing special credits or waiting through numerous ads.
- “Brilliant game with no ads!!”
- “The controls are very easy to use and there are no ads, which makes for a better game experience.”
- “Good simulator, no ads constantly bombarding you, and it's easy to play.”
- “There are several problems: 1, the only way to raise your fuel capacity is through purchases or ads.”
- “I put one star not because the game is bad but basically it's pay-to-win. At first, everything is fine; you don't need to pay to progress, but as you get more ships and bigger ones, there is no way around buying special credits to unlock bigger fuel tanks or bigger ships. It's a common practice to make people attached to the game, and suddenly you either wait weeks watching hundreds of ads or pay €20 to get the credits to move forward.”
- “Used Google Play points and real money for in-game purchases and never received my items.”

Edit: I added a couple more stars because the developer actually listens to their players. I'm going to try it again after the game is much more optimized.”
- “Not a massive fan of the real-time stuff. I just wish there was a mode to play this like 'Ports of Call', speed-wise, but also have the realistic financial aspect. Real-time games don't appeal to me, and I can't find any similar games on the store anymore. 2 stars for the overall performance and detail the game possesses in its ownership ability and management aspects.”
