Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Can this app be updated to work on current versions of iOS.
The game is great, but every time we try to do the 3rd micro race on an iPhone 5c we can't land at the end of the race! Well, we can, but it doesn't trigger a completion. Please fix this bug.
It seems like a cool game but we can't even start the helicopters.
Yeah, we found a bug where you can fly through a window and Get outside before the door is unlocked. Also, Y U NO FR3 TO PL8.
The game crashes as soon as it is done loading and we're supposed to fly our helicopter. Fix that please so we can actually play the darn game.
We are on iOS 10 iPod 6 with 32 gb memory and have been waiting since the games release for the game to work. The joysticks do nothing even when we try to start the helicopter. This looks like a great game and we would rate well if it worked.
How am we supposed to turn it on? Make bug fix update please.
It appears like it would be a good game if the helicopters would start. Playing on iPad mini 3 so it should be able to handle the game just fine. All the buttons work properly except the sticks won't move. Fix that, we'll change our review.
So slow loading and can not play any modes. As well as the fact of everytime we try to play multiplayer it gets to the starting screen then kicks us out of the entire game and logs out of our gamecenter account. And also the fact of why can't you play on Ipod touch.
It's not to bad of a game but we dosent have what we expected it to have.
Please make it support iPad mini.
The physics are NOT realistic, we own a hobby level RC heli and we know how they should react to moving the trottal up 1/4 of an inch. And it is impossible to unlock outside without money. Rc heli 2 has better physics and graphics, UNTIL RC heli 3 is fixed, 2 stars.
We're not saying it's bad or all but the graphics arnt too good and the create should make the helicopters tilt when they move. Rc plane 2 was your best work though so plz make the graphics like rc plane 2 no offence.
This is probably…the WORST game we have ever played in our entire life. Save yourself some space for something your gonaa WANT to use after you download. Dont waiste your time plz.
First off, you only get 1 helicopter when you get the game, so it is an app based on in app purchases. Second, it probably takes 5 minutes just to get to the actual game. When you finally get it up. The lag is so bad that you can't even move the throttle.
IT SUCKZ IVE GOTTEN ALL THE GAMES BUT NOW IT DOSENT SURPORT IPAD 3.
We always bought your games and until this one we hade fun to play but it's working horrible on iPad 2&3 it's not ok (and we bought all the planes in rc plane and helli 2).
We are a huge fan of RC Plane and RC Heli and have been waiting for a new version for a long time. This app does not disappoint. Graphics are stunning and the controls real realistic yet are very easy to use. To turn heli on just lower left stick to bottom. This is an awesome game.
Our freind has the ipod 5, and he can't use the game. The iPod 5 and iPhone 5 are virtually the same with specs, but it won't work it stinks.
While this game has potential, there are a fatal flaws in it, especially after this last update. Now they have introduced ads that are really of obnoxious. Plus the user interface is confusing. For example they have lesson one and after you completed there's no way to look at goat there's no path lesson two.
This game is great and after playing Rc plane 2 for a long time we were not disappointed with this game. Way better than all the other rc heli games on the market. We just really hope they add more maps and helicopters like they did with RC plane 2.
The game is great but we can't turn ON the helicopter with our fifth generation iPod touch. Other than that flaw the game was awesome and we recommend it for people who have enjoyed other apps about remote control vehicles.
We've tried to fly but none of the controls work and we can't turn the copter on. We're playing on an iPod touch 5th generation. PLEASE HELP.
We have been a fan of rc heli2 and rc planes 2. But we can't fully enjoy this game if we can't turn the copter on.
As others have said on a iPod 5th gen you can't get off the ground.
On our iPod 5 it doesn't work we were looking forward to flying a quadcpoter.
We can't even turn on our stupid helicopter on our IPod 5 FIX THIS BUG.
It won't let us turn on our heli! Fix this.
We play on iPod and no matter what we do copter doesn't turn on. We tried to mess with the sticks but it it doesn't work. They don't work. Won't move. Period.
The game looks great however we are not able to fly the helicopter. We are using an iPod touch 5th generation.
We try to delete the game and redownload the game and it didn't let us turn on our heli. Please fix this.
Didn't work with iPhone 4 IOS7.
