Pros and cons of ATC4Real app for iPhone and iPad

ATC4Real app good for

This is an amazing app, obviously lots of time and effort was put into making this app, which pays off for a great game! Its a little hard to play on an iPhone screen, but its doable, and there doesnt seem to be a way to logout of the The ATC account. If that could be done it would be great! Other than that, this app is truly incredible, and I have no problem spending hours a playing on it! Thanks so much :)

The best ATC game I have ever had. Real SID/STAR Procedures gives the most real experience being an Air Traffic Controller.

This is a great radar ATC game. I love the SID/STAR with restrictions. The game can be a bit slow over a long period of time. The developer should either add a 3x, 5x, 10x accelerator or make the aircraft faster.

Some bad moments

Slow paced, unobvious interface, unhelpful manual... And theres grammatical errors in the in-game text.

Why cant I assign a heading rather than point an inaccurate arrow in the general direction desired. Thats not very realistic. Nor is the fact I cant control an aircraft already in the ILS glide path after handing off. Pilots are far more intelligent that youve programmed. They wouldnt blindly fly into another aircraft before slowing down. Real ATCs can tell pilots to"expedite their orders for faster response. Cant push mad tin if you cant give the right commands. Why should I have to pay so much money for a simple airport upgrade? Especially when I cant choose which runway to make departures from? Paid for the program already. Upgrades should be cheaper by far. Shouldnt have to buy 3 airports to fly out of one that I want to fly from. Sell them individually and Id buy more. At a greatly reduced price of course. Dont jam unwanted airports down our throats, thank you.

This game is probably one of the best ATC games Ive found. Its very realistic (being an AvGeek, I know!) and a great way to kill time. However, I have a few problems with it. 1. There are bugs. Planes will randomly disappear off the radar, then appear 5 minutes later in a completely different location. Sometimes, when a command is entered, this map randomly zooms out. Other times, youll clear a plane to land, and a minute later itll unclear itself and you have to do it again. 2. You cant zoom in and out normally. 3. While SAN and FLL are great, the expansions are too expensive, I dont want to have to pay $70 for all of the expansions. If they were $3 each (not $8), itd be a lot better. Things that Id like, but not having them doesnt detract from the game include: in depth ground control (gates, taxiways, etc),More options with speeds and altitudes (the cutoff at 250kts and 10000ft is annoying, and only intervals of 10 and 1000, respectively.), and finally, more alert. that a new plane has appeared on screen. With the fixes above, and maybe the addition of the features I listed, this would be a 5 star game for sure.

I purchased some airport packs in the past and enjoyed playing immensely. Now with new all-inclusive app I create the username then nothing. Black screen and nothing. Update: problems fixed quickly, gets five stars now. Very nice to have all airports in one app.

I cant see everything on my iPhone 5 also when I export it doesnt work, also the package 2 it asks to create a user and I did but it doesnt do anything just a black screen fix please! I feel like it was a big waste of money!

This app has a lot of potential, but the interface for inputs is poorly designed and often ignores taps (frequent hijackings?). The output interface and concept are slick. Maybe someday this will be a great game.
