I bought your drone. I bought this app drone control today and started to fly really high up and I wasn’t even making it go high up crash into a tree and I kept pressing the kill button and it’s one stop flying and I press the kill button over and over again thoughthis is why I’m giving you two star rating ### 3/5 — Bad review *2024-12-28, version 1.1.1* It do not record on your phone ### 2/5 — Camera *2024-12-15, version 1.1.1* Camera doesnt really connect to the app at all ### 4/5 — Drone is fun *2024-12-15, version 1.1.1* So the drone is very fun but in the app I don’t actually know if i am connected to take vids and pics. ### 4/5 — Ekkekekwkwkek *2024-07-28, version 1.1.1* I would give it a 5 star but there’s only one problem, the drone is super hard to control. ### 4/5 — Almost the best *2024-07-09, version 1.1.1* Your drone is almost the best that is have, the 2 flaws are the camera and the battery life, if you added a second battery there would only be 1 flaw. ### 3/5 — Meh *2024-07-05, version 1.1.1* This is cool but it’s fps is low and it freezes and camera quality isn’t the best ### 2/5 — It fits *2024-06-19, version 1.1.1* It flies, but the app doesn’t work for me just keep connecting disconnecting. I tried all different ways to try to get it work. It doesn’t so either. It’s not updated for the current iOS or it just doesn’t work. I just fly around and take video but that’s it. ### 3/5 — Fun to fly. Ss recording works. Streaming does not *2024-06-17, version 1.1.1* It was easy enough to charge power and fly. The sd card recording works. Streaming does not. I paired my phone with the WiFi network presented by the drone. Then I opened the app and went through setup. It said it worked followed by another screen saying it did not that only offered that I repeat. I did. It still doesn’t work. If you want streaming, avoid this. ### 2/5 — It sucked *2024-06-11, version 1.1.1* Don’t get it it didn’t even let me see the camera ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-10-06, version 1.1.1* At the start the battery was broken and the battery tab was broken so I rated this one star so disappointed 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Camera not operating correctly *2025-07-16, version 1.1.1* I got this drone about a year ago now and I just got a SD card to put in but still won’t connect to my phone do not recommend buying. ### 1/5 — $50 of nothing *2025-06-10, version 1.1.1* The app doesn’t even work. I kept trying to connect it to my drone, but it still won’t work and the drone it cost $50 I only actually had a few stable flights. It goes out of control and I literally just tried to fly it and it almost cut my fingernail off. This is your warning to not get this drone. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-04-22, version 1.1.1* READ THIS IF YOU HAVE THIS DRONE. This drone is an absolute piece of trash. I flew it three times and it stopped working. It flies for about 5 minutes before it runs out of battery. I paid 30$ for this piece of rat dung. ### 1/5 — Camera *2025-03-14, version 1.1.1* Are you having issues with the camera or think that there’s a way to fix it? So did I… here’s how I fixed the issue setting up the camera that wouldn’t work. Return the product promptly and stay away from voltage aeronautics products. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-01-07, version 1.1.1* So you know what to tell that says not worth it like the drum is worth it but the app never downloads ### 1/5 — Won’t Work on i15PM *2024-12-30, version 1.1.1* I’m not sure if it’s all IPhones devices but this thing doesn’t work on the 15pro Max. I tried every possible change with my 15 and nothing would get it to work. My girlfriend on her Android however it worked flawless. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — This thing might as well not have a camera *2024-12-10, version 1.1.1* The drone flies just fine as far as I can tell from the few times I’ve flown it. The problem is that the camera is useless. The drone will not connect to my phone via WiFi, so that aspect of the camera does not work. Also, I am unable to take videos or photos utilizing the SD card onboard the drone. When I plug the card in to my computer it shows the Video folder with video files in it, but they will not play. Very disappointing, as I have watched videos in which people show the video footage they took with no apparent problem. Oh well, you get what you pay for. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-24, version 1.1.1* Honestly the app itself was good but for some reason when I would be flying the drone it would randomly start launching itself into the air or it would slam right for no reason and made the drone crash and get lost and there was no wind at the time of flying so I don’t understand why it jerked right but I personally would not recommend buying this drone ### 1/5 — Dar *2024-06-06, version 1.1.1* Can’t even remember my password no option to reset it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If not connecting *2025-06-05, version 1.1.1* Make Shure your locations is on for the app that’s how mine got fixed ### 5/5 — Dronne *2025-05-14, version 1.1.1* Suazo2008 ### 5/5 — Not the drone *2025-04-05, version 1.1.1* It’s clear by the reviews that the majority of people have no clue how to use the technology, not that it doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — GOOD WORK *2025-02-07, version 1.1.1* I WAS LOOKING AROUND STORES ALL DAY AND FOUND THIS ONE I forgot you had to push up and down almost got rid of it great starter drone very fast three modes and I definitely recommend you like fly it around in a big open space before you try to fly it between doors in through halls it does not work in cold weather it messes with it and I almost lost it bc I flew away by itself just went straight up I had to catch it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-12-28, version 1.1.1* Ok bruh all these people crying “oh I couldn’t find my drone” though clearly that’s a user issue AND what would these people expect from a 40 dollar drone???? Like if you want a good drone buy one that isn’t 40 dollars 🤦‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Great drone! *2024-12-27, version 1.1.1* It’s a bit hard to control at first, not recommended to fly at night. Does backflips and can go really fast! I got it for Christmas. I was the one who left a 2 star because I didn’t realize you had to move the joysticks down to start the motors😅 definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — It’s pretty good *2023-12-24, version 1.0.9* The drone works you need some time to work the app, it’s hard to control it though, but this drone is a good starter drone so you should buy this :) ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-02-14, version 1.0.9* At first I couldn’t get the controller to work but it finally worked great app great drone ### 5/5 — Very Cool Drone *2022-04-10* I got the AV 1000 drone and used it with this app. It turned out unexpectedly well despite it being pretty cheap. The battery could last longer or maybe I’m just not charging it right. It would also be cool if the app had a “VR” mode where you could use a vr headset with your phone so it would be almost like an FPV drone. ### 5/5 — Worth the Money *2022-01-08* Took a little while to set up the Wi-Fi, but once I troubleshooted it, the video worked just fine. The battery overheats sometimes, but if you are using it to fly around your house or to mess around with the camera and have fun, it is well worth it. Perfect starter drone to practice before buying a pricey professional drone. I love it and recommend it to anyone wanting a cheap fun drone.
