Essential if using an external controller - but still a few bugs
This is so much nicer than the official Tello app, and being able to control so many functions with the buttons on controller is a complete game changer. Worth the money even with the bugs I’ve found so far, which are:
1. Any time you end a video or snap a picture, you are kicked out of the app. Seems like something with saving the file to your photos. I have to double click the home button and renter the app - which then reconnects and you have control again.
2. Boomerang autopilot mode is missing the 360 rotation. Just flies away and then returns. Didn’t have opportunity to check all autopilot modes yet.
Further suggestions
3. Limited button mapping. I don’t need 8 different flips mapped to buttons, but would love to be able to map the different autopilot modes and the 360/pano function to controller buttons instead of having to use the phone screen.
4. It would be great if the follow me/orbit functionality were built into this app. I will likely get that app soon but fear that I will have to choose one or the other app to use before a flight. Much simpler if this could be a module within this app even if offered as a upgrade and pay the additional cost.
This is a very new app, so a few bugs are expected, but with the limited time I’ve used it so far, I couldn’t recommend it any more strongly. Love the return to home and keep poi in view functions. If you have a Tello - you NEED this app.

Response from developer
Thanks for the recommendation! 1) Should be fixed with 1.2.0 coming tomorrow hopefully 2) Rotation is optional, please select a rotation direction & speed in the AP dialog 3) Some APs will be mappable soon 4) Doesn't work. Too many functions of TelloFpv interfere with video quality and image stabilization (sport mode, controllers, photos).
High hopes met!!!
Originally had a few issues with this app. I conversed with the developer via email, he has addressed the issues I had & the app works flawlessly now. Quality, & would say this is the Litchi for little ol Tellos....genuinely brilliant 5 stars easily!!
Really Good.
Love it, works well really looking forward to the Flight Log update.
Problems
This app is really cool and good but on my Apple device the controls are stuck inside each other in the iPad battery level is not right
Response from developer
you should be able to set the joystick control dimensions in the settings. Battery level is wrong initially but corrects itself after a few minutes. Fixed in next release
