Reception
In a 2011 review, Windows Central wrote that the simulator got better with experience and would likely appeal to fans of the genre.[3] In 2012, The Mac Observer gave the first release a score of 2.5/5 ("Disappointing"), comparing it negatively to other flight simulators.[4] In 2014, Engadget considered Infinite Flight one of the best on the App Store[5] and The New York Times called it the best on mobile devices.[6] FlightSim.com later wrote approvingly of the just-released C-130 aircraft, saying that the game's newer models were much better than earlier models.[7]
