What Makes Airport Madness Mobile Stand Out
"You land a million planes safely. Then you have one little mid-air collision, and you never hear the end of it." – Air Traffic Controller, New York TRACON
Do you have what it takes to be an air traffic controller at a busy international airport?
As an air traffic controller it is your job to keep aircraft from colliding, while avoiding unnecessary delays. You are paid the big bucks for your visualization skills and guts. Just like the real job of an air traffic controller, you must pay attention and keep your eyes moving. There is always something that you could be doing! You must give takeoff clearances, landing clearances and taxi clearances in a strategic effort to maintain safety and efficiency where there would otherwise be total chaos. This is not a spectator's sport! After successful completion of all 14 levels of this simulation you will become an expert at visualization and managing priorities.
This simulation contains 7 different challenging airport layouts. You will be required to work at night, and occasionally in poor weather conditions. Knowledge of air traffic control is not required to be a top-notch air traffic controller in Airport Madness Mobile, but you do require nerves of steel.

Community Insight:
- The planes in the sky collide with the planes taxing we dont know if that is intended. 2. You can fix this by making it check if the planes are on the same height, and adding a layer system. You can also fix it by adding an imitation on the taxi ways. You can also check if the plane is on a taxi way and if it is it wont collide with planes in the air. Besides that and the lack of maps, it is an amazing game 100% would recommend.
An awesome idea and fun. Combines many different game types. Strategy, timing, and just plain fun.
This game is truly really quite fun.
So addicting this game is so much fun. Only problem is that the mute buttons dont work. You cant listen to music in the background without still hearing the game noises.
This game would be awesome if it werent the for the sound. Cant mute it.
Great game to pass time, and its very fun. But just shortly after we bought this game the airplanes have disappeared and we can no longer play the game because we cannot see any airplanes at all. Please fix this issue.
It has potential but not there. Cant believe we paid $5 for this under-developed trash.
Theres no way to quit out of this game. You have to shut your iPhone down which is a pain because this game is a lot of fun. Just dont play it if you need to flick between apps. You cant.
We love this game… Keeps us occupied. But what about a sandbox mode that we can just pick a level and difficulty and play. We dont want to constantly have only. 5 mins etc.
This game is so lame. It is total not worth $4.00.
Good Game but re cost is WAY to high for what you get.
It needs where the player can adjust how long you play each level 5 min is just to short! And it would be nice if you added a music feature that allows a user to listen to there own music in the app. Also you need more levels! We hope you add these features it would then make us rate this app 5 stars instead of 3.
A few things to consider. 1. Be able to choose your own level 2. No more time limit 3. Throw in some helicopters 4. Some new maps… Aircraft carriers, water runways. Etc. 5. Maybe some military aircraft(big planes) 6. Be able to choose your runway to land. Other than that the game is well worth the price and keeps us entertained for hours!! Thank you.
It is a great gamebut we have 3 suggestion 1. Lower price and have a lite verson 2. Beable to save current progress 3. GET IT it is awesome.
At first glance, one would think that this is another time management app, much like Flight Control. But, this app is so much more. You act as an air traffic controller taxiing, lining up and giving the go ahead for airplanes as other planes come in for landing or need to cross the same runway. You have the opportunity to ask incoming planes to slow down or go around, but be careful, as it will ding your salary. However, the more airplanes that successfully make it back to the tarmac and into the hangar, the more money you rack up. The crisp graphics, smooth animation and realistic airplane effects serve to make this game pack a wallop.
Saw this game on facebook. Happy that they brought it to the iPhone. Recommended!! A must buy.
We need the save button is killling us without it.
We just bought this app and it is the best $5 we ever spent on itunes! It is extremely addicting and we can't put it down! The levels get harder and harder and each one is better than the last! It is our favorite game and it is one of the best apps we have on our ipod! We even managed to get our frinds hooked on this game! We really recommend this app.
Great game. We love it. Only change we would suggest is that it needs a 'save' feature. It is a bit expensive but worth it.
We really enjoyed playing this on the Internet so we bought this app, what a great app! However, this app should be Lowered to either $2-$3 so u can get more people. Another suggestion would be to make a lite version for those who may not know wat the full one includes. Anyways, thanks for the game! Keep up the good work.
We find ourselves really enjoying this app, despite some flaws. We like being able to control what the planes do as opposed to where they go, because it does give the feel of being a controller. But there us no save feature to allow you to go to where you left off, and it's probably two bucks overpriced, if not more. But nonetheless, we find ourselves returning to this app on the long trips for some quick jet airline fun.
Each time we play the game just once, it won't restart on our iPhone when we go to play it again at a later time. We must delete the app form the iPhone, then reinstall it when we sync to iTunes. How can this be fixed.
Awsome game addicting but not worth 5 dolars.
It's a great game but we have 2 problems 1. Price is to high 2. You can't save progress.
Would like to be able to skip to any level and play after we have made it there prior. Great game though.
We love this game and have gone through it many times. We would like the ability to stay on one level with no timer. Maybe they could make this feature available after one completes the game.
Level 13 is a cluster and a half.
Game is nice, would be vastly improved by allowing controller to speed up planes instead of only slowing them down.
Team please give us the ability to choose levels to play. Amazing game but we do not want to waste 15 real minutes getting to the level that works our brain from level 1 every time! Fix that for 5 stars.
The app is great. But not good enough to be $5. One feature the game should have is different types of airplanes… Like cargo, & commercial. & some planes faster or slower than the rest.
Expensive. You can't save, so if you hit quit you start over at level 1.
Do not download the update, ruins the game. Speeds-up the tougher levels while jerking the planes around.
Newest update doesn't let you play at all.
Please update with a save option. How can you have a game and not be able to save? It's like common sense to have . Thanks.
It's a good game but not worth $5. It could also do better, like having planes go to an individual gate.
Upgrade? Are we with the iPhone 4 crowd yet? Other apps are moving ahead. We just got an invitation to view a new app. No! Please, just fix a few things with this one and upgrade to iPhone 4 level. We've already purchased this one! You CANNOT speed up a plane, you CANNOT select which runway, or direction, the plane will land, and, you CANNOT have a plane "circle" in a holding pattern. So who is the controller.
The games won't save for later, and it crashed about 3 times out of 5 games play. Don't waste your money buying this V1.4.
The game is great but u can't listen to ur own music while you play. Cmonnnn man.
The latest update to the game is garbage we downloaded it the game starts and then it goes back to the iPhone screen. Garbage update, what's the point of it if it makes the game worse.
