Needs work...

The app does work, but what is not clear is that you need to register as a user before you can fly. When working it's ok'ish but there are some shortcomings... altitude is shown in really small text at the foot of the screen which makes it difficult to judge whether you have found lift or not I would suggest an audible lift signal would be a good addition. Also in cockpit view, the gauges are images only, again difficult to tell what is happening. Finally a couple of different models would make this better.

Dog poo

Bought this app before looking at reviews. Big mistake. Load of sh!t. No vario sound so completely useless. Can't tell if your going up or down. There is absolutely no point in this game. It's far from simulation. Well it simulates loosing 79p pretty well but that's it. Lots of good flight sims around so look at reviews first and get a good one

Don’t buy this app

Worst money I have ever spent on an app and I’ve bought loads of flight sims.. none of the instruments work and the flights are not very life like at all. The scenery rendering is barely acceptable.
