"Pocket Planes is an absolute gem of a game, offering a delightful blend of simplicity and depth that keeps me hooked for hours on end. What I adore most about it is its ease of play; navigating through the skies feels effortless and intuitive, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. The fun rewards sprinkled throughout the game are like little treats that keep me motivated to keep flying and expanding my airline empire. Moreover, the clear goals provide a sense of direction without feeling overly restrictive, allowing for a satisfying sense of progress. Unlike many games inundated with gimmicks, Pocket Planes stands out for its straightforward gameplay and genuine enjoyment factor. It's not an exaggeration to say that some of my fondest gaming memories have been made while soaring through the virtual skies in Pocket Planes. It's a testament to the game's timeless appeal and sheer joy it brings to players."

I have been occasionally playing (the only way to play) for a couple months now. This is a great little strategy game with airplanes - I love airplanes - I’m an aerospace engineer…so this is the perfect thing to do when not working. You can play without spending any money, so this should totally be a top free app. But it’s good to support the devs and enjoy the perks, so spend your coffee money sometimes. A couple suggestions: please make cities grow larger than 10m - proportional to their real populations ideally. Consider programming a way to automate some flights so their can be idle earning - it would be cool to have “domestic fleets” that automatically service continent interiors as well as international fleets that can be actively managed…the domestic fleets would have user-preprogrammed routes and would generate idle income, and then the international fleet would require inputs.. what do you think?

I started this game when it first came out and enjoyed it. Several years later, my iPad died and I lost everything. I restarted it again a year or so later. I’m up to level 74 and it is always a fun way to kill time. I was surprised, and happy, to see the developer update the game a few weeks ago and continue to tweak it. I love the VIP in-app purchase. For me, the additional layover slots plus the 4th aircraft upgrade enhanced my gameplay. The other perks are a welcome bonus. I like how I can earn extra bux, coins, aircraft parts, and additional perks by watching ads. Normally, I don’t like ads in games but the developer makes them optional and, in my gameplay, the rewards for watching are worth it. I’m happy the developer allows syncing through their own server. In my opinion, much more reliable than GC. Finally, I like the way the global events are set up now. I think there were only a couple of teams anyway because I did not play in a team and could hit 3rd place consistently on my own. The rewards under the old way were not as robust as the rewards in the new events. Finally, yes it can be a grind but, at least for me, that is part of this game. I spent many years working for a cargo airline and it is a grind in real life. Great job NimbleBit. I’m happy you are back updating this game. Thank you.
