The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its graphics and overall experience, but expressing frustration over slow progression and high costs for upgrades and new airports. Players noted that while the core gameplay is enjoyable, it can become repetitive and grindy, with some features feeling locked behind paywalls. Additionally, technical issues and a lack of updates have contributed to a sense of stagnation in the gameplay experience.
- “Yes, everything is great: graphics, details, gameplay, and nearly everything.”
- “Gameplay itself is excellent.”
- “The gameplay is awesome; the graphics are good, but no matter what I do, I cannot use voice recognition control in the game.”
- “However, when I entered the main gameplay, the game was chugging badly.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the absence of ads and the lack of a pay-to-win model, while others criticize the high cost of in-app purchases and the reliance on microtransactions to progress. Many users feel that the game is enjoyable but becomes tedious due to the expensive purchases required to unlock content, leading to frustration over the balance between free play and monetization. Overall, while the game avoids aggressive advertising, the pricing of in-game items remains a contentious issue among players.
- “No ads and it isn't a pay-to-win game.”
- “There is still in-app purchase, though within reason.”
- “Although graphic optimization has improved significantly along with the addition of new features, it seems like the company has caught up with capitalistic greed as microtransactions are more rampant than previous iterations of the game.”
- “I originally wrote a review back in 2016 about this game. A lot has changed since then, such as the interface and the voice control. The core has been pretty much the same but still remains so difficult to gain money to open new gates or new aircraft and airports unless you purchase microtransactions, which is not how everyone wants to play. It makes it tedious and time-wasting; the time control is whack and too slow. I enjoy and hate this game so much I hardly play it unless I'm really bored.”
- “The only downside, in my opinion, are the unrealistically expensive in-app purchases; these are still there...”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often feeling that it detracts from the overall enjoyment. Many express frustration over the slow pace of earning in-game currency, which is necessary to unlock new content, leading to a reliance on microtransactions. Despite these challenges, some players still appreciate the game's core mechanics and fun elements once they push through the initial grind.
- “However, the grind to get coins can be a bit tedious, and I keep running into a situation where I can't taxi or give take-off clearance after achieving level 7 and need to get more coins in order to open another gate to progress.”
- “I understand that this might be only on the first airport, but I don't want to spend hours grinding with this awful gameplay just for a hope that the next airport might be better.”
- “It's like it's on a snail's pace and it makes it extremely grindy, and the money we earn is very low in comparison to the speed of the game.”

The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezes, lags, and crashes, particularly during critical gameplay moments like landing. While some players appreciate the game's overall quality and detail, they express frustration over persistent bugs, especially related to cloud data updates and audio issues. Overall, the game appears to require significant improvements in stability to enhance the user experience.
- “Phenomenal! This is undoubtedly unmatched by any of the ATC games out there. I've played many games, but this is the very first time I'm writing a review for something. This is the best game out there—no glitches, no ads, nothing, and so detailed.”
- “When attempting to play on a second device, it asks to update cloud data, and when you choose yes, the game freezes with 'please wait' on the screen and locks without updating.”
- “An hour run can be all undone as you sit there watching helplessly as the game freezes!”
- “Hello, Bali airport has too many glitches, like the voice input being delayed on certain aircraft, causing my game to freeze and sometimes crash. This happens whether my internet is on or off. Please fix this matter; it's so unpleasant for me to play, and I love this game.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with many users expressing a desire for the option to turn it off without affecting sound effects.

Overall, the lack of customizable audio options detracts from the gaming experience for those who prefer to listen to their own content while playing.

- “The music is still not the right fit in my opinion, but that's a detail.”
- “No options to turn off irritating music without turning off pilot voices.”

humor

The humor in the game is highlighted as both funny and realistic, with players enjoying the comedic situations that arise, such as the inability to change commands leading to absurd outcomes like crashing planes. However, some players note that the game's economic aspects, like expensive airports, can detract from the overall experience.
- “After giving a command to a plane, you can halt the plane, but you cannot change the command. So instead of changing the gate, I had to crash two planes... otherwise, it's funny as hell!”
