Community Insight:
Game is good but we cant see how much money we have because the 16 pro camera cut out blocks it.
We love this game so much we just got we today. Although we think u should add more airports and stuff cuz Im alr on the 3rd airport and we havent even had the app 24 hrs. But we love this game u should download it its worthit.
Great game, but only lasted a couple days before we beat it. Like other comments, could definitely use more levels.
The game is fun, awesome, addicting, and thats why we gave it a five star review, butthere are sooooooooooooo many adds that you have to watch to get money, and money is soooooooooooo hard to get at the beginning of the game, like its almost impossible to get money, so then you have to watch a million adds to get money. But, thats not itthe manager removes adds! That sounds great right? No.It would be great.If it wasnt ten bucks to get rid of adds, and extra money.All we want is for it to five dollars, so then we dont have to pay so much money, because it really is ridiculous.
Review of Idle Airport Idle Airport has a fun premise, but it feels limited with only a few airports available. Adding more locations would enhance the gameplay. The currency system could also use a revamp; removing cents when players are still in the early stages of the game will make it less confusing. Lastly, the loading screen is generic and could benefit from a more engaging design. Overall, there's potential, but it needs some improvements.
This game is pretty okay 4 stars.
It is a awesome game but it needs more. More airports, more airlines, more shops, more upgrades, more gates, and just more.
This game is fun but we did finish it in 1 week it needs more updates and airports. But we dont want to rush the developer so.
Very poor performance, especially at higher levels when you have a lot more customers. Im very appreciative that there are no mandatory ads, and most of the advertising isnt intrusive to the actual gameplay. Personally, we try and look for games that do not have in-app purchases, but this one did it well.
There needs to be more than just three levels. We beat this game in 24 hours. Please add more.
This game is fun and doesnt cost anything to play which we like, but there are only 3 airports and once you max out the 3rd there is nothing left to do but delete the game, which is very disappointing! Give more levels.
Only a couple of days of gameplay, and it looks AI generated, but alright, we guess.
We love a good Idle game to pass time, we always buy ad removal to support small devs, $10 and it doesnt remove all ads plus youll complete all content in 24 hours. Mehriffic.
It took just about 3 hours to fully complete the three airports and max out everything. Now there is nothing else to do. This game needs new locations with many more planes to purchase – rental car facilities – hotels, etc. Updates are sorely needed.
We couldnt even scroll in the settings menu, do not recommend.
Tutorial told us to tap snack shop & it wont let us in fact nothing we press works.
When we were at the tutorial it told us to tap but we were tapping for 5 minutes and Im still stuck on the tutorial.
Few things arent clear : Buying a new airport sells your current airport but you dont make any money from it!!! The money also resets to 100. Not very realistic. Game doesnt make it clear you wont be able to use the old airport anymore. If you are going to add difficultly to a game do it in a realistic way.
Good App. Needs the Coffee Shop to be nerfed. Way to overpowered.
This game is great just like all other idle games but one thing. The tutorial is a little messed up but if you can get passed the tutorial its pretty fun.
Needs more airports but other than that good game.
This game is actually good. We expected lots of ads, but no. You only have the watch ads to get temporary boosts. We just started it and havent stopped playing it for 3 hours.
Really fun game but if you want to physically like design your own airport then you might not have as much fun because it basically controls your game.
Great but we can not tap to upgrade things.
What do you do when you are done with all of the airports. Add new airports thank you.
It is really easy but its fun! Four stars.
Ive been trying to find a good game this is real amazing. This is amazingone of the best tycoons ive played thank you for making this and not bombarding the player with ads. Real aprricieated :).
So on the 2 airport theres security and If you could add people that have like stuff on them that is contraband so they cant go on the plane.
This game kept our attention very well and doesnt swarm you with ads – its up to you how many ads you watch. Ive maxed out the levels on everything. We wish there were more than a few worlds.
We got so much money for our airport.
We dont love this game it needs a lot of work on it this game is super trash we hope the developers of this game dies.
Fun game where you build a airport.
Game is great, but need more levels. Already maxed out on everything.
This game is so fun! But one thing is that Im on the last stage and we got everything. We do not know what to do next.But amazing game and we hope you can add more.
This game is really great and has cool things. When you purchase manager it helps a lot. We just wish that when you didnt have manager it could help a little more at least. Besides that 5 stars.
Give them a break Just like 1 or two update ideas is enough.
We LOVE this game and we can not stop playing.
This is the 3rd (?) day we have been playing this game… We are addicted. This game so fun thanks for reading.
Its a good game but needs more airports.
Ticket counter is glitched, only have 3 check in desks when we should have 6-7.
We love this game, but one thing we realized is when you click on something to upgrade it, it doesnt always work right away. Im not sure exactly where to click we just keep click around the area of their workspace. Otherwise we havent found anything else we dont like.
This was a really fun game, kept our attention and all that. Buttttt we finished it in about 3 hours. Please add more levels.
We love the game but we finished all airports and we wish there was more to buy so can u add a rebirth system.
Its a very fun game sure but we already beat the new update and have in the quintillions of dollars can you add more thing to buy like more airlines and more departments would really be appreciated but for now its a four star.
Just downloaded the game. Seems like fun! But very slow when Im trying to click on anything to upgrade it, such as for the candy bar station.
Can we get an update for more airports plssssss lol.
We love idle games like these but when we tap on things sometimes nothing happens.
3 starts because the lack of content. Game is easily beat and gets boring right away. Other than that its great to kill time, if you have a day to kill.
In the tutorial when we said to click the map it will not work but we see the potential of this game.
Whenever there is a customer at the snack shop or any other place you cant upgrade it while a customer is there so you have to wait for them to finish.
