SimplePlanes – Education Game Review
SimplePlanes is a Education/Simulation game from Jundroo, LLC, first launched in 10th December 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 2,924+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes SimplePlanes Stand Out
Build airplanes by snapping parts together, designing wing sections, and attaching engines. At any time, you can strap yourself into the cockpit and see how it flies with realistic physics. If you're not in the mood for building, over 250,000 airplanes are available to download for free.
BUILD AIRPLANES
You have the tools you'll need to bring any airplane to life. Snap parts together to build your airplane's body. Place engines to add thrust. Design and attach wings and then strap yourself into the cockpit and see how it flies.
DOWNLOAD AIRPLANES
Over 250,000 airplanes are available to download for free from SimplePlanes.com. Find anything from old WW2 bombers to next-generation fighters to sci-fi spacecraft. You can upload your own airplanes and rise through the ranks from a bronze builder to a gold level builder.
DYNAMIC FLIGHT MODEL
Flight simulation at its finest. Every little change you make in the designer impacts how the airplane flies. Weight distribution, thrust, lift, and drag are all calculated continuously while flying. Parts can break off in spectacular fashion while flying due to over-stress or by hitting something. The fun won't stop there though. You can keep on flying even with a missing wing if you've got the skills.
SANDBOX MODE
Use all available parts to build airplanes with no restrictions. The sky is the limit. Literally.
CHALLENGES
Climb into the cockpit of one of your custom aircraft and see how it does in the challenges. Land on aircraft carriers, dodge surface-to-air missiles, race through courses, and so much more.
EDUCATIONAL
Tutorials will help players learn the basics of real airplane design and the considerations that need to be taken when airplanes are made.
This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game, but there are still many things that you may want to consider adding. We think a couple of new islands would be great. Can you please make at least 1 huge island. We think you should also add a full military base on an island. It would be cool if you had fighters land and take off of aircraft carriers. That is the next thing. We think there should be more ships. Maybe even a naval port with lots of ships that launch off of it, go on missions, and return. Please update the graphics as well. Also needs to work on mobile. There are many more ideas we can think of. Those are just a few things that will make the game 100% better. P.s. When we mean huge Islands we mean like double the size of the current ones.
Its an amazing game we enjoy playing this game so much. But one suggestion we have is for the wings to have an activation group,in case we want to deploy something control it. We made a plane with a cargo Bay that launch is like a cruise missile but whenever we control the missile it also controls the plane.
This is our #1 favorite game to play but we wish there was a video replay so we can change the camera view to see what it looks like from different views.
Dont get us wrong im not trying to complain but we have explored all the islands and we are wishing for a map expansion like ad a island with a city if could add destructible physics with the hangers. During playing we wish you could add friendly aircraft that the player cant lock on to and flies into formation with the players aircraft. All in all this is our favorite mobile game.
So simple planes plz add multiplayer and add maywar island on iOS but otherwise we love this game to hell and back.
On mobile there should be a Mobile workshop so people can download planes, although this game is Very creative and Nice.
This is one of our favorite games Ive played.
SimplePlanes is a good game, one thing we would like is a block that would make the plane be able to fly its self. Youd be able to select airport and make a route to the airport and it would tell where you were on the map.It would allow you to select how many feet up in the air you want. We would also like and auto pilot malfunction and that would mean it could go the wrong way. If you make SimplePlanes 2 please implement this.
Put yourself in this position: youre in an attack fighter, two 20mm cannons in the nose, eight missiles above and below the wings, SEPECAT style. Youve expended half your missile complement on removing air cover, and now youve moved on to a strafing run on a carrier group. DAKADAKADAKADAKADAKA, the aircraft shakes, you pull away, smoke billowing from the asides of the Carrier, and one of the two Destroyers escorting it. But, your RWR is now beeping loudly in your ear, and then turns into steady tone: the SAM batteries on the destroyers have locked onto you, and defensive fire is filling the air around your aircraft. You push the throttle all the way forward, and thank the heavens above you have a very maneuverable aircraft as you enter into a series of S-turns to evade the SAM launches on the surface below. But, your evasions have taken you back over the Carrier Group, and at low altitude. Ground fire fills the sky once again. You hear a thunk, and attempt to pull up, only to be sent into a roll. The Rotation servo on your port All-Moving elevator has been hit. You apply opposite aileron to correct, and try again, but the same result, just slower. Youre losing altitude, and fast. Your RWR turns into the tone of a lock again from the SAMs guidance radar, as you try to try any combination of controls, but alas, you slam into the ocean. This was not a story. This is an actual recount of a flight in an aircraft we designed (think MiG-21 meets F-100) that started well and ended poorly. We would absolutely recommend.
We are highly addicted to this game, its really fun! Keep up the good work.
This game is very cool, Can you add multiplayer on it, for ipad also.
We love thea game every day played.
You should add a Team Dogfight so their can be a war going on like 5v5 or 3v3 Because The Original Dogfight is just 1v1 and When you destroy the enemy it says all enemys destroyed if you just Destroy one plane …. So please add a new gamemode or update the Dogfight System It would rlly help.
With this game you may go on SimplePlanes.com and find a cool mod that you want to download but you cant on the mobile devise which really annoys us.
We would like to have repair for the aircraft so that we you were attacking uss tiny 2 and got shot down you repair your plane but the ships would still have damage. Love this game.
We really love this game but could you add multiplayer and a bomb bay like a fuselage thats is hallow and you can put bombs or cargo in but overall is a great game.
This game is one of the most enjoyable mobile games in history. If you keep paying attention to this game or maybe bring it to consoles you will have it made.
We love this game for 2 reasons, 1. Its fun 2. No in-app purchases The only purchase is the game.
Good game but u guys should add something like a master warning like in real planes like "terrain ahead, pull up".
Okay, to be perfectly honest we normally do not play games you have to purchase per say but this one caught our eye, and we have to say it was well, well worth the five dollars we spent to play it. The graphics arent amazing but are relatively good, while you can literally build pretty much anything in game. The flight simulation is pretty accurate as well, and is just a relaxing and cheerful game, with no in game currency or pay to play aspects once you have bought the game.
We just wanna know how to get multiplayer.
This is one of the few really good mobile games not filled with ads and micro transactions. Also the game itself is amazing for a mobile game Id consider it almost on par with games like ksp. The only downsides are you cannot get mods on iOS because of some dumb policy apple has with that stuff and the fact its 5 dollars though it is worth way more than 5 dollars.
Its a great game and we love it just heres some suggestions 1. Can you add a new option to make the a.we. Escort you? 2. Could you add a block that is flat and makes the ai land on it in the direction of maybe a arrow.
Love the app we would like there to more weapons ,bigger island and more islands. Please add mayawar and the kracken.
This is seriously one of our favorite mobile games and for a good reason! We love the sandbox physics of it! You can spend all day building planes and cars and not even feel like all day! There should be an option to toggle the snap grid so that you can add parts in fine positions and not have it attach to the snap grid when youre placing parts in close proximity.
Can you make the explosions more realistic? When the plane crashes, some of the fuselage disappears. It doesnt look that real. Second, can you add tank tracks to the game. Im on IOS, so we cant download mods on it. We enjoy making and seeing tanks in this game. Thank you. We have one more question. Could you turn up the gun volume on the minigun. We cant use it on our A-10 cuz its too quiet.
We love this game, its one of our favorites but our only issue with it isnt its own fault, we still use an iPhone 6 so we have trouble with bigger planes. We love how they let you install user made planes.
Great for children and adults. U can download and build any kind of ground or air vehicle. This is great for young engineering. We only wish mods were allowed on iOS devices such as our XS Max. It runs smoothly with the biggest machines Ive found on the games website, if only we could use mods. The higher end phones could handle them.
You better buy this game, our fellow human. You can do literally ANYTHING. Make planes, cars, boats, helicopters, download other peoples insane creations, literally ANYTHING. This game actually changed our life, because now Im looking into an engineering degree. There are countless parts and no ads, the music is god-tier and has missions you can play for DAY ON END. This game is just a work of art and cant be beaten. BUY IT ITS WORTH 10X THE PRICE.
Can you please add electric stuff like the Tesla or something.
We have played this game on IOS for almost a year now and we love it! You guys at Jundroo llc are amazing keep up the good work we wish we could get mods on IOS though but otherwise its amazing.
We like this game you can build your own plane and fly it you can even make cars someone made a boat in this game.
Just 1 question is this game multiplayer.
We love this game and everything in it but please add mod support for iOS. It would make the experience so much better and much more enjoyable than just the few islands built into the game.
Please add a mini map in to the game so we know where to go when we fly.
Mr. Jundroo Sir, can you please add battleships as escorts for the USS Beast please, us and our brother are dying to see battleships escorting USS Beast. And please make like WWII battleship with made up names. Please add battleships in the next update. Another suggestion, there should be a helipad spawn on the Battleships. Can you improve IOS because mines keep crashing most of the time.
Love the game and play it all the time. Just wish there was ai spawn in dogfight to go after plane after plane.
This is TOTALLY worth 5 bucks. Ive been playing this game for 6 months now, and Im still not bored, as theres so much to do.
The game is great but we need mods for iOS.
Hello your games are great but we got our hopes up simple rockets 2 but it wasnt compatible with our min 2 so we got sad that we couldnt get it. But please make it compatible with our mini. And for simple planes can you add sirens like the Stuka one and more like a air raid siren. And another thing at fire like you could put out fires. And ad Stuka preset that has the siren that we recommend earlier but over all we love this game keep up the great works yay. And for mobile simple planes please return mods for tablets and make them simple downloads like there a download button and bring you to the game and go to mods and boom simple.
Okay so we have had ADHD for as long as we can remember and this game has actually helped us focus on something. Games like this and Minecraft that have virtually limit less possibilities help us stay focused. We also love aircraft so being able to download other peoples designs and create our own has both helped our adhd and spark our creativity. We can highly recommend this game. If you love Minecraft and planes then get this game.
We love this game with a passion, it gives us so much to do and has endless possibilities, but there are limits, such as turrets we'd love to see turret AI blocks that you can build off of and use for a WW2 Bomber B-17 B-24 and ect… But overall we have no complaints.
This game is by fair one of the most fun mobile games we have ever played. Though improvements could be made to the building part of the game like more jet engines, different car engines, and prop engines. Also having the ability to view underwater (for mobile). Thank you for this amazing game and keep up the good work.
We have played around almost every day for a month or two now and its still fresh however it is better on android or pc because of there mod support.
We live the game but they should have where you can make fire planes and you can drop water and you can make fires to but otherwise its a good game.
We love this game and have played for like 4 years. It is amazing, but there is a few things you could add to improve it. First we would bomb bays so you can like open a bay and rain hell on the enemy, also a missile where you point where you want it to go and it will fire there. Or more advanced wings that actually look like the airfoils instead of having to put fuselage around the wing to get a cool look out of it. Also you should add SAM missiles, we know you can just use air to air on the ground but it would much cool to have a SAM missile. So you could have a truck and shoot planes out of the sky while not flying In the process. Other wise this game is awesome.
The app is great but our only problem is that the ai doesnt know how to fly a helicopter. If your adding helicopters to the game why not make the ai be able to fly them.
Awesome game drains your battery fast though if you turn all the graphics up to max but it makes it look very beautiful we discovered a glitch where if you download a very large plane and then quit before its loaded it wont let you log back in you have to re-download the game to make it working againAlso the dog by a we could be better but besides that its one of the best games on the App Store.
We love the weapons the camera views and all the physics and engineering but the islands are great but we wish they had the dessert island on the iOS it add much more opportunities to the game we dont care about the kraken. So its an awesome app and we like the website and we got SimpleRockets too and its fun.
We love this game because you can build planes and experiment with problem solving. Just add multiplayer because the game already costs money and that should be able to support a server. Then add aerial refueling, then add a challenge centered around that. Then we would give it a five star rating. Keep the great work up.
