Rather senseless fun with limited content and control -- that's what you get with this app -- that lets you "fly" a plane to various pretend locations with different seasons. The controls are easy to figure out, although some of the dashboard controls don't do anything when the app first starts. You can either title the screen to fly, or use a joystick. While the idea of flying a plane is fun, the entire premise of this app is vague. The app description says "Can you find the ideal destination for each passenger?" We did, and they seem happy. But then what? Fun features include the ability to make colored clouds with a smoke machine, and a voice recording feature where you can hear your voice like an echo. There are no rules or time limits, and this app works without an Internet connection. Get Sago Mini Planes instead.
