Bad

Very bad

Great game, with bugs

I loved this game back when it originally came out for PC, and this is exactly reproduced from the original. The only issues that I've found are that it's very hard to get out of certain interfaces where the ESC key is typically used (hiring new employees for example). Also, the built-in tutorial ported over from the original game talks about using keyboard shortcuts that don't exist on the iPad (such as TAB key to end the day) which doesn't affect functionality, but could be confusing to some who didn't play the original. In all, could be a great game so long as the minor usability bugs are addressed.

Best Airline Simulation Around

This is the ONLY good simulator around. No other simulator is this great. This is a real time simulator that takes place in a simulated airport that is so realistic to a real airport.

Its ok

If you played the pc version you wont be disappointed! Just missing the TAB key to fast forward!

Needs improvement

This is such an amazing business game that I missed playing in PC. It's great that they made a phone version of it, but it is copied directly to PC. Needs some control changes compatible for the phone to make the game more playable. Overall, sure is nice to have this game to be played again after a long time! ;)

Confusing Interface

It's an OK game, but the interface is clunky, and poorly adapted to the touch screen. As someone else mentioned, it is extremely difficult to get out of some screens. In fact, I haven't figured out how to get out of the employee files or employee hire screens, since there is no escape key. If anyone has figured out how to do it, I'd appreciate some help, The game could be great but the UI has GOT to be improved before this is anywhere near five stars.

Confusing

This app is not worth the money! The tutorial is very unclear about how everything works and the grammar is incorrect. I've been trying to "play" this game for an hour now and still don't know how to use the interface. DONT WASTE UR MONEY!!! Horribly executed...

Loved it on the PC...difficult to play on iPad

I was a huge fan of this game back when it was band new on the PC, so much I kept checking for when the sequel would, if ever, get released. Ad when it finally did I bought it the day it hit store shelves. So imagine how excited i was to see this game on here- yeah the new PC version is awesome but the classic was, well, a classic and it did not operate well on my PC. So after trying to play this game I can report that I am disappointed- they did nothing to try and make it more user friendly to play on the iPad. A new user interface system with short cuts would solve that- just like what you would use with the keyword shortcuts in the Pc game. If only you could get a refund on apps that you delete within 24 hours of purchase.
