I do like this game, and watching ads does give small bonuses, but the ads themselves are horrible. They constantly open apps, open the app store, stop showing progress, randomly pause the progress, make you watch more than the 1 or 2 ads it's supposed to play, and the exit button for the is so small and shoved into the corner that I can't click on it with my phone (pixel) because it's not cropped to my screen correctly. I've even had it tell me I've received my reward but refuse to close the ad

This may be the greatest mobile game ever created! Seriously, just read some of the other reviews and how excited people are that this finally made it over to Android. I previously played many hours of this on iOS, but was sad to discover it missing from the Play store. Now, it's here, and it's exactly the same as I remember it! It's fun to build your own little airline empire, and the semi-idle factor means you can play for as little or as long as you want at a time. Thanks, Nimblebit!

I've been playing this game for years and I am very glad it's come back to Android. Ad placement doesn't ruin the gameplay experience as it is entirely optional and presented during downtime periods. It is a slow and complicated game to learn so if you're looking for a hand holder game it may not be right for you. Lost & Found is overpriced and could do with a price reduction for me to even consider using it. All in all NimbleBit made a great game and they seem in tune with their community.
