Community Insight:
So we love the game but we have a request can you had Chicago ORD airport we love the game so much but pls just a ohere we beg.
Im good perfect in this this the best in London,st Maarten,Innsbruck and San Diego.
The game is awesome, we regularly binge this game and want to continue doing that. However, the game could use an airport or two in Africa like JNB, ABJ, CMN, CPT, ADD, or CAI.
Its a really good game, has great graphics and game play. At the beginning it was a little tough to start but . There is really nothing wrong with it.
Ever since we got this game we had a hard time understanding it but now its easy to understand and its very fun.
Hello, developers. We are a player from Macau, China. We have been playing this game for over two years. We were really excited about the recent update adding Hong Kong International Airport, to the point where many of our friends in mainland China are asking how to play this game. When we installed the game on our friends' devices, we found that the game couldn't run directly and showed an error with code 10005. We hope the developers can optimize this issue as soon as possible. Thank you again for all your hard work and efforts.
That game is just perfect would love to see the 330neo and wide body aircraft in Asian routes.
We have written many reviews about this game before and it is very good but here we wanted to make a special request. It might not be possible but it would be great if you could add AICM Mexico City airport to the game.
Thank you for implementing time intervals and weather conversion. What we would like to bring up are departures and arrivals, as well as camera views. We hope you guys could design a new set of camera angles, specifically from different seats of the aircraft, as if theres a window in front of the camera, creating the illusion of being a passenger. If its raining, take offs should have raindrops sliding off the windows due to the take off speed. We also feel take offs should be more intense and quicker, as well as landings being different from each other, one being smoother, and another a bit more turbulent, to add to the realism of the game. Landing gear tilt is also a vital component towards the sim.
We like your game but some airports are outdated like Prague ( your home country? ) and Nagoya. Both of them are so old so we need you to remodel those airport . Thank you ( hey we love your new Hong Kong airport ^^).
This is by far the most refined and thoughtfully created airport simulator we have ever seen on the IOS platform. The airport, aircraft, and livery variety is unbelievable, with consistent massive updates which only improve the experience. Looking forward to whatever comes next.
We know World of Airports mainly focuses on large international airports, but we think adding Lukla Airport would be a great and exciting exception. Lukla is one of the most well-known airports in the world because of its short, sloped runway, steep mountains, and difficult weather, which would make it very fun and challenging to manage. Including Lukla would add variety to the game and give players something different from the usual large, flat airports. It could work as a special or challenge airport that tests skill and planning rather than size. Lukla would not replace big airports, but instead add a unique and memorable experience that many aviation fans would enjoy.
We think this is the best game ever we feel like you could still add some more major airports.
Hands down the best plane game ever! Love everything about it.
We love the game the graphics are good once you get the hang of it you will love it.
Some of the airports need to be free and we would also like there to be a Hawaii airport.
Love this game love all the options but the only thing we thing it is missing is jumbo jets we need to add some besides that love this game.
Crashes all the time now since update 3.3.1 please fix it.
It takes way too long to earn gold coins we give up after a hour from boredom.
Thats a stupid setting, when u see ur airplane waiting in the sky but there are more than 2 clear runways.
Very fun lots of airplanes not a lot of ads unless you want more tokens.
We wish there was a way to restart an airport if you had a bad start to it. Other than that, great game. Please go back to the old looks though it was so much better.
The game is good but the deicing seems to be broken and also you should add deicing fluid types from type we to type IV fluid that is seen on aircraft.
We have been playing World of Airports since it first released and this game has never failed to amaze us. The game has an incredible attention to detail and is realistic. While the game is a grind, it is a fun grind unlike many other airport simulations and makes the game very rewarding. The developers are constantly updating the game and have created an awesome community. Truly one of the best apps on the AppStore. We really hope to see this app keep growing and innovating.
UPDATED REVIEW we grew up in an airline family so Ive played almost every aviation game on the AppStore growing up. This is hands down the best one. It does start a little slow, but you really learn to appreciate it over time. If youve ever played Skyramaits basically the realistic version of that. We highly recommend downloading it if you like airplanes or plane watching. Thank you for the consistent updates! Speaking of which, Im updating our review to say that since our last one, every single feature Ive asked for has been added to the game. Im extremely impressed, thank you so much for the quality content Id like to request the Boeing 717 and a feature where planes wait to be boarded. For example, we like to slow down our operations at night but the planes board and sit on the ramp fully loaded, with the ground crew waiting outside. It would be awesome if we could designate a plane to stop service for a bit after unloading.
Great game, but the base speed for taxiing should be faster. Its too slow even with the highest controller speed up. Also, the deicing game always stays at 0% no matter how much of the plane you spray.
WOA is probably one of the best airport simulation games out there. Realistic models, graphics, and airline schedules. The animations and handling mini games are also super cool to watch. Being a 3 year WOA player though, we have some suggestions that can make the game even better: 1. Faster progression The current progression in the game is wayyy too slow. Leveling up is way too hard in this game, given how it is an airport simulation game and all you can do is click some buttons. The progression is slow to an extent that you lose patience at one point, because theres not much you can do except for endless grinding. It gets boring, and its also why we only play this game once in a while. We understand and appreciate how the new updates added new features such as wheelchair handling or A-G stands, but we wish there could be some compensation on game progression to balance out the extra time needed to handle aircraft. 2. More music Since we have started playing this game the soundtrack hasnt changed at all. The game is a pretty repetitive clicker game so if you add some varied background music this might help boost the players mood a bit. 3. More minigames Yes, the three existing minigames are pretty awesome, but just some more variation can make the gameplay more engaging. For example, if there was a takeoff minigame or pushback minigame to complement to the landing and parking minigames it would be really nice.
The realistic game is incredible. We love so much this game. We would like to see Boston airport, New York Kennedy, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles. We cant wait for those airports. Thanks for this wonderful game.
Thanks for making the best game ever could you please add KSDF as a playable airport because its the closest cargo hub to us.
We been playing this game everyday when we have the chance we have half the airports and we would hope u guys add some more in the future.
We dont know how to start flying our plane. If you saw this and replyed that would be helpful. If you see this please tell us what to do.
Our claim rewards button doesnt appear anymore and it hasnt appeared for 1 month and its making us mad and we might quit if it never appears again so please fix it and if you do we wont quit and Ill give your game 5 stars again.
We have to play an hour and a half just too get three levels on the pass. Other wise game has many airlines, planes to choose from.
This game is absolutely amazing. We just have one issue: the airport and livery selections. We would love to see Salt Lake City International Airport as a part of the game. This Airport is an important gateway to the west (the crossroads of the west) with flights all over the USA and internationally to Mexico, Canada, South Korea, France and the Netherlands. This airport is als a very important airport for Delta Airlines. If Salt Lake City is added we would also love to see the Delta Airlines Olympics 2002 livery as this is such a special livery with the beautiful colors and lovely logos.
This game is super fun really realistic airport operations we like the different amount of liveries and the planes are spectacular but there is one problem in some airport like the Czech Republic airport that has 2 runways the game only allows one runway to be operated that significantly slows down operations and it being such a big airport the second runway could really come into use we would love to see the second runway be used on some way with runway crossing but besides that this game is awesome.
We wouldve given this a 5 but the new update and the new user interface is ruining the game for us. We loved having our flights we were needing to attend to pop up rather have to scroll in between flights. Otherwise the game is fantastic. Just not a big fan of that new update. Wish theyd make a way to choose the interface you want whether the original or the new update.
This is an enjoyable game but the frequent crashes on our iPad, running iOS 17.7.10 keeps the review from being higher. We hope you can fix. We dont see any pattern to when the game crashes. At the very least any plane that has been cleared to land should be started on its stand instead of having to re-land it again. That is quite frustrating.
HOW COULD we SWITCH THE RUNWAYS IN DULLES FOR LANDINGS AND TAKING OF we JUST UNLOCKED IT SO IM STILL LEARNING were is the operation menu and the settings for switching runways.
When we were looking at the preview, we saw all these planes flying and we think you should just add a update where we could like fly planes that would be way better.
We were Expecting to be Boring, Because we just Delete this Game in 2 Years Ago, Until we Came back. So we Played it and Managed the Airport as Many times. We got Cool Planes, and Unlocked from Smaller Airport to Some of Larger Airports, and we Became Rich in this Game.
We think its us or the game because our game keeps crashing even on the lowest graphics.
Love this game!! Been playing it for years!! All in all a good game.
We love this game but recently we have had trouble playing. We put IAD on automatic and then all J have to do is give people to service the planes. Everytime we approve the people for the plane to start servicing, the game crashes. PLEASE HELP.
You all really need to look at this deicing thing. Cannot expect to give you such little time to deice a plane and no chance of ever completing the process but yet when the computer does it, the time take forever to do. Make it make sense.
The game is so realistic and has real airlines.It also has real airports and planes.
L went Drive plane in sky thank you Bye.
Hello! Our LHR cannot be accessed, please fix this bug because our other airports can still play normally. Our account ID is vnmd7m7tjKYMv3vfb36G, currently LHR45 level, with Boeing livery package.
Hi we Love this game but Granted we do have Planes to manage But we Need Helicopters from the real world like Private Flight Helicopters and Military and or Cargo please add these in a Future Update if you guys ever do id Be so Happy and Grateful.
Every time we try to land a plane the app crashes.
We hope the developers can add the Il-76 to the game.
