“Best ATC-style game yet” ~ FlightGlobal.com

APP (Approach) Control is air traffic control as realistic as it gets, from the comfort of your iPhone or iPad. Are you as good as you think you are? Challenge yourself. Uses REAL airport layouts and detailed features for as realistic gameplay as possible.

YOUR MISSION:
You are an air traffic controller in the Approach radar room of a busy airport. Command planes to adjust their headings, altitudes and speeds and guide them to their final approach fix or exit point at the requested altitude. But be careful! You must always maintain Air Traffic rules: a 3-mile lateral or a 1000 feet vertical separation, just like in real air traffic control services. The more planes you safely land, the faster they go- how long can you keep it up?

WHY APPCONTROL?
A realistic ATC app to run on your phone - test your Approach skills anytime, anywhere. No ads, and a free Worldwide Leaderboard – compare your scores. Can you beat the best of them?

Best of all, REALISTIC FEATURES:
- Control the headings, altitudes and speeds of planes
- Real-life rules of always maintaining a minimum of a 3-mile lateral or a 1000-feet vertical separation of aircraft
- Uses the REAL layouts of international airports
- Short term conflict alerts
- Speed vectors
- History trail
- Label schemes

CAUTION TO NON-ATC PLAYERS: this is an as-close-to-reality as it gets air traffic control game. You may have difficulty if you have no experience with realistic air traffic control. Think of it as training- good luck! This Air Traffic Control simulation app is meant for real air traffic controllers who cant get enough, aviation enthusiasts, students, pilots and anyone with an interest in testing their skills in a realistic ATC environment.

Pros and cons of APP Control app for iPhone and iPad

APP Control app good for

Game is addictif as hell! more types of planes with different speeds -helicopters - medevac - emergencies/priority flights.

voice feature is a great added value. would be even better, if aircraft would read back clearances (with different voices), as this would add some realism with respect to timing (wait for readback before next clearance is issued), and also create that typical crowded airspace atmosphere.

Mann kann es gut auch mal so als Konzentration Spiel spielen. Vllt. noch ein par mehr Flugzeugtypen wären cool. Sonst Topp

A very addictive game which requires coordination, three dimensional thinking and strategic skills. The full version offers very challenging scenarios where dozens of planes must be handled in parallel. Would buy this again any time.

Great App. Sound with permission to land / take-off with name and flight number etc. would make it awesome!

Very good entertainment and much, much better than other ATC Apps. Further development to make it even more realistic will be welcomed. Keep em coming...

Some bad moments

Very addicting. I wish that I could save the airports I create directly to my own iPad since none of the ones I submit seem to get approved in the updates. Great sim overall though!

I have spent hours playing this. For what looks like a simple game you have to really stay on your toes. Needs updated for iPhone 5 and has an issue keeping your place if the app is closed. But overall, I am very happy with it.

This thing is GREAT... If ... "IF" anything is to be upgraded, I would like an option for SID/STARs

This is one of two games of this kind I have. I put this on my iPhone 5 and for some reason the controls will not come up. Please fix and Ill change my rating until then I have to play the other game

This is easy to pick up for an atc game, even someone not familiar with aviation can pick it up because theres highlighted helpers. Im having problems with the voice guy, I shut him off and cant turn it back on but he gets annoying anyways. Addicting n fun and stuff. Add build your own airport and game would be perfect/ worth the couple buck upgrade.

This game is like raking my zen sand garden. Its fun, and taps into that part of me that finds deep satisfaction in organizing things.
