The app has a practice room to get used to the voice recognition and learn the specific clearances. A touch interface is available too.
As an air traffic controller you must maintain a lateral separation of 3 miles or a vertical separation of 1000 feet between aircraft landing and departing.
Give altitude, speed, heading and direct-to clearances to aircraft and make them reach the initial approach fix or the exit point at requested altitude.
This has many features of real air traffic control systems:
- moveable data blocks with different schemes
- speed vectors and past positions
- short term conflict alerts
This app also has access to the APPControl Online Airports Database, with more than 200 airports, real and imaginary.
The free online leaderboards system let you track your scores online and compare with other players.

Not bad

This game has taken app control to a new level. Although there are times when it does not seem to respond the way you want new technology takes time. On the other hand when it does work, 70 to 80 percent of the time, it's great. I do think that although the info tabs have more info on them and they can be moved, it would help if we had a departure schedule to cut down on conflicts with arriving and departing planes. It's great that you now get a response with the voice version. This is worth the investment. Good job....I'll be waiting for updates
Great game for ATC enthusiasts!!!!

I'm currently studying to be an air traffic controller and it was games like these that inspired me to do so. This game is very simple and easy to learn and is by far the best ATC sim for iPad! There is a free demo but its totally worth the couple bucks to purchase the complete App. If your into aviation this is a must have game!!!!!
Best Experience Ever!

I stumbled on this app on just a day before my birthday and it was the best gift I could imagine. For years I played pretty much every every ATC sim out there, tracon, London control, xavius's Center just to name a few. Some of them had voice recognition, but Approach Control Voice edition beats all of them in my opinion. I am getting 100 % voice recognition accuracy! It is so awesome to just focus on directing traffic and not having to tap away instructions to pilots. Big THANK YOU to developers for making this happen. Being a pilot's license holder and ATC enthusiast for many years I also have some suggestions as to what could be improved to make this great app even more realistic: -First of all I would remove the grid, or at least give an option to turn it off. - A great feature would be to be able to control the intensity of traffic. Currently it may not be challenging enough for "some users" :-) - Increasing max altitude to 17,000 feet- more realistic - I hope to see more variety of airlines with time - Not sure if it possible, but the sector editor should be integrated with sim itself so you can create your own sectors on the fly and use it right away. Again, great job on the app. Keep up the good work. atc_freak
Crashes

I get all excited about being able to actually use the voice feature instead of my mouse on my computer and as soon as I open it, it crashes....a first world problem? Maybe. But I want to get my two bucks worth so please fix it!!!
Previous version seems to be much better

I played the previous version for over a year and the voice recognition worked great! I just updated to the newest version and the voice recognition is horrible and there is no way to calibrate the microphone because the recalibrate button is gone from the menu. Please fix that so I can enjoy this game again!
