"I got this game for 99cents, and while It is a good game, the crazy amount of In app purchases (IAP) are dumb. You'll get like 4 helis for 99cents; Only 4!"
"This gam forces you to buy almost all of the planes. The only thing that you can do if you don't want to spend money is fly around a dumb room."

"I bought this game because I had gotten rc heli and this looked like it, except with better graphics and more room to fly. It turned out that the steering in rc heli 2 is horrible compared to the first one."
"the sticks are just not responsive enough to make it feel remotely like a real R/C heli; I found it frustrating, not fun."
Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.
On-screen joystick controls obstruct the player's view of the helicopter and environment
"This game is fun but the controls need to be moved further to the sides and down out of the way so your fingers/thumbs don't block the view."
Touch controls lack tactile feedback, causing users to lose control without realizing it
"Speaking of the stick, my finger "slips"off all the time and I don't even know it because"
Landing detection bug prevents users from finishing the tutorial sequence
"The tutorial cannot be finished, landing on helipad at the end does not trigger the end as it says it should."
Users cannot find online matches and experience connectivity issues
"Can't find online matches, due to general badness of the game (glitchy, not enough helicopters)."
