MacOS support is here for computers with Mac Silicon chips!
ATC Voice is a fast-paced, highly realistic, air traffic control game designed from the ground up for the iPad, and now compatible with Mac Silicon computers.
Use your wits, spatial reasoning, and planning skills, to safely guide planes over, under, and around each other towards their destinations.
Play any level using touch commands, or use voice recognition technology.
ATC Voice is the sequel to ATC – Air Traffic Control and takes everything to the next level -- retina optimized graphics, more levels and sectors, arrival and departure routing, holding patterns, Voice Control, and much more.
Your job is to command planes using voice commands or touch commands. Clear arriving planes for approach at the correct airports. Climb departing planes safely, and quickly hand off to the next controller.
Features:
- More than 100 levels from easy to challenging.
- Climb and Descend planes, control altitude, and keep them at least 1000ft apart vertically, 3nm horizontally.
- Avoid collisions and terrain, respond to warnings within one minute before loss of separation.
- Speed up the simulation to 30x real-time speed.
- Deal with changing wind and runway conditions, emergencies, and surprises.
- Flexible Voice Recognition accepts alternate phrasing of commands and plane idents.
- Listen to aircraft read back instructions for verification, or turn off plane speech for faster game play.
- Assign a heading or command a plane to fly direct to a navigation fix.
- Stack planes in holding patterns.
- Choose the simulation environment and game victory conditions in Quick Play mode.
- Sign in to Game Center to earn Achievements and see your rank on Leaderboards.
- Use the Level Editor to create your own scenarios or edit your quick play generated levels.
- Realistic speed and altitude simulation.
- Pinch-zoom control of the radar display.
- Automatic save and load.
- Includes three sectors, Denver (KDEN, KAPA, KBJC, KBKF), Los Angeles (KLAX, KLGB, KSNA, KONT, KBUR), and New York (KJFK, KLGA, KTEB, KEWR) with many easy and challenging levels.
VOICE CONTROL:
With Voice Control ON, you can play the game like a real air traffic controller using your voice to guide planes, clear them for approach, and hand them off to the next controller.
Press the mic button and say the plane's identifier followed by one or more commands. Includes 'Practice Voice Commands' mini-game to help learn the voice commands.
ATC Voice understands a long list of voice commands used by air traffic controllers with flexible phrasing like,
•“Turn left Heading ONE THREE ZERO”, or “Turn Right TEN degrees.”
•“Climb Maintain ONE TWO Thousand”, or “Descend Maintain THIRTEEN Thousand.”
•“Fly direct TOMSN and Hold”, or “Cleared direct BLUE MESA VOR.”
•“Cleared Approach Runway THREE FIVE LEFT.”
In-App Purchases:
The game includes three full sectors with 100 levels. More sectors can be purchased in the app at an additional cost. Every sector includes the busiest airports in the airspace and 30 levels or more.
Notes:
Play offline, no internet connection required, even for voice control.
Runs on all iPad models with iOS 8.0 or higher.
Bluetooth mics do not work with voice control on Mac.

Follow along from airport to airport, mission to mission, because the challenges are intentional in that order. Super realistic. I have not attempted voice however.For future airports, I hope they try Atlanta. But I’d want it to include PDK, LZU (class D, towered), but also add small planes to the mix, and consideration of separation (no small planes flying immediately under large ones). Traffic at a place like LZU can be intense, Lear Jets, twins, while trainers doing touch and goes or local small airport training runs. Managing different approach speeds, levels of experience, lots of no contact situations (because newbie pilot isn’t following instructions).Also missing are hold locations. In critical situations, pilots are sent to hold at a certain altitude/location, where they loop until told. In lots of these emergency scenarios, you have to manage that yourself, making you the de facto PIC. Not realistic.However, it’s still a lot of fun and worth the price.
My one and only most favorite game on iPad!!!

Listen, this game right here? Is my favorite game of all time on the iPad!!! Period! There isn’t another game that even comes close to the fun and hours spent. I love airplanes and everything about flight and this game literally turns me into an air traffic controller where I use my voice to help land planes. There isn’t another game out there as realistic as this and I literally feel like an air traffic controller. It’s a puzzle game, a strategy game, and a role-playing game all at the same time. No other game that I have come across does all these things together and extremely well. Whoever the developer is for this game, you made a masterpiece like none other. Seriously, I have never reviewed a game in my life. This is my first one. I am so impressed by the developer of this game to make it fun, exciting, and realistic. I can’t believe the number of hours I spend on this game. Seriously, the developers are are an absolute genius in creating this environment for armchair air traffic controller‘s to feel like they’re in the game. It’s challenging, makes you think, but at the same time you end up getting absorbed into the puzzle of how to manage all these planes in the sky in a structured order to all get them to land safely without interfering with one another. The game developer has definitely managed to capture the anticipation and suspense and gives the controller an eye into what it’s like being an air traffic controller and the stress is these men and women have to deal with in dealing with peoples lives in real time. I’m ranting here and maybe I’m gonna just shut up. 999 for this game is a steal just download it and play it I’m sureYou’re going to love it.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. This means a lot!
Work ATC, and scramble F-16s LOL!

I enjoy this game very much. Normally I don't use the voice features that much so I can spare the wife my rambling when were either on vacation or at home. The interface was very well thought out on directing airspeed, altitude, course/fix instructions. One impressive thing is when moving the sliders, the set values appear to the side/above in a way that a finger isn't covering them up. That's how detail oriented this app was designed. Support is fantastic, even though later it was obvious what I wasn't doing to add additional maps, support responded right away on how exactly I was supposed to click the right things to get additional fields. Did I mention you can also scramble F-16s? That kills me everytime and got to laugh but hey it works real well though, definitely a cool feature added to the game. Well done and hope this app gets supported for a very long time. Thanks to the support/dev also for any help I needed in the meantime. Game is worth it, pick it up!
Just pure awesomeness.

I’ve had this app for years, but I just realized that I don’t think I ever wrote a review for it, and I feel awful! This simulator is awesome. Sometimes it gets my heart beating out of my chest. It can get really, really intense and you’ve gotta be very quick and on your toes at all times. If this is how being an air traffic controller really is, then I have to send a thank you to all REAL air traffic controllers to let you all know how much I truly appreciate your work in getting us there and back again safely everyday. You guys are the unsung heroes of the aviation industry. Also, the developer for this app is awfully friendly and I can’t thank him enough for this simulator. This is easily one of the best (if not THE best) sims of any type on the AppStore. If you’re looking for a good simulator to test your reflexes and brain, look no further. This is just a great app. Thanks to the developer for this awesome piece of software!!!!
