Monetization in the game has become increasingly aggressive and predatory, with many users feeling it's turned into a cash grab through costly in-app purchases, limited free actions, and mandatory ad viewing—often buggy or unrewarding. While some appreciate the balance before recent updates, the new focus on microtransactions and season-based content has alienated longtime players and diminished the game's original casual, enjoyable experience.
- “I like how in-app purchases are basically earnable just by playing the game and watching ads without limits, so you are not time gated.”
- “Current in-app purchases are very nicely balanced.”
- “It's so addictive I love it♥️ and there are no ads.”
- “They've made it harder to earn in-game currency, which again makes for a cash grab to pay for in-game currency once you get to a certain point.”
- “Until they caught people enjoying it, they nuked rewards, collecting, and fun to turn the game into a grind and cash grab with tons of buyable items.”
- “The new update is an obvious cash grab.”

Gameplay has faced criticism due to frequent mechanic overhauls, especially the controversial "season" system, which disrupted progression and enjoyment for many players. However, after community feedback, developers have reverted some changes and improved stability, restoring much of the original engaging collection-focused gameplay. While some find the battle mechanics less appealing, the core loop remains addictive and enjoyable, with responsive devs actively addressing issues.
- “No forced ads, and really fun collection style gameplay.”
- “Great idea and entertaining gameplay.”
- “Really good game with a good gameplay loop and responsive devs.”
- “For starters, basic functionality should be prioritized over continuously changing the way gameplay works.”
- “The introduction of the 'season' mechanic has destroyed any sense of progression, too.”
- “The mechanics in this game just aren't fun or interesting.”

The game's story revolves around collecting aircraft through daily missions and achievements, but recent updates have made missions more challenging and less rewarding by requiring perfect completion to earn rewards, causing frustration among players. While some appreciate new features like airport missions and an item shop, many feel the increased difficulty, mission all-or-nothing requirements, and higher in-game costs have turned the experience into a grind rather than casual enjoyment. Players generally desire a return to simpler, more rewarding mission structures with added side quests to enhance engagement.
- “Im glad to see the developers listened to the players and removed "seasons" from the game, but the game still has some bugs that need to be worked out such as missions not being marked complete when you satisfy the requirements.”
- “At the core, this game is a very satisfying collection quest a la Pokemon Go.”
- “I love how it has an item shop and daily missions for more in-game currency.”
- “1/5 unfortunately due to the newest update, I think it's time to stop playing. Seasons, penalties, and extra mission requirements have really made it feel like a chore to play rather than a casual game.”
- “Used to be really good, I'd open it every morning and see what the missions were but now it's updated: everything costs more, you win no coins unless you get a perfect picture or complete all 3 missions, and most of the achievements have reset.”
- “The new update has increased the in-game cost to do things required to complete missions while still being a grind to collect in-game currency.”

The game suffers from frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches, especially after taking photos or during loading, making it frustrating for users. Despite these stability issues, developers are responsive and working on fixes, but the bugs significantly hinder gameplay enjoyment.
- “The game is pretty fun, however the number of glitches, crashes, and freezes in this game is insane.”
- “I played for like 5 minutes and already hit the point where the game always freezes as soon as I take the picture; I have plenty of photos left and want to get new cards, but the game itself is timing me out arbitrarily.”
- “Was a good game when it worked for 1 or 2 days, now whenever I catch a plane and press save the entire app freezes.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some praising their overall quality while others find them childish and lacking whimsy. Increased graphic fidelity has negatively impacted game performance, and users express a desire for improved visual design without sacrificing playability.
- “The graphics, the interaction, the sounds; it's all perfect.”
- “And (not a deal breaker) there's also less whimsy in the graphics :(”
- “The games performance is still not good though, made worse with the enhanced fidelity of the graphics.”
- “Uglier graphics and UI, resetting progress (when most people play to collect, why reset our collection progress every season???), making it harder to get coins but increasing the prices for things.”
- “Despite it being a game, the graphics for the avatars and coins etc. are childish, so could be better.”
- “The game's performance is still not good though, made worse with the enhanced fidelity of the graphics.”

- “Lastly, the music was so relaxing and fun to listen to before the update.”

- “I also miss the old music.”

The latest update has improved performance and fluidity on high-end devices like the S23 Ultra, enhancing the user interface. However, overall optimization remains inconsistent, with significant performance issues and bugs, especially due to increased graphical fidelity, and some users feel the game leans towards pay-to-win mechanics.
- “The new update has improved performance on my S23 Ultra; the user interface is amazing and a lot more fluid.”
- “Game felt fun and balanced, perhaps needed a few tweaks.”
- “The game's performance is still not good though, made worse with the enhanced fidelity of the graphics.”
- “Also, it's full of bugs and performance issues but I suppose that's to be expected in a beta.”
- “As of the 2.0 update, it feels like a pay-to-win cash-optimized mess.”

The humor in the game is appreciated by aviation enthusiasts and adds to the enjoyment, particularly through everyday achievements. However, some players find irony in the developers' approach to feedback and changes, which is perceived as frustrating rather than funny. Overall, the humor resonates well with fans but is overshadowed by community dissatisfaction.
- “Funny enough, it's easier to make money and I love the everyday achievements.”
- “Very funny game if you are an aviation lover then this game is meant for you.”
