Pretty decent so far
I wish they had more operational manuals included in the app as well as some better UI. But it does work and doesn’t crash so that’s a plus!
Major Improvements Required
For X1 and the X1 pros, this app will require major updates. It should have it’s own editing tools similar to insta360 and gopro apps. I give this app 2 stars for now.
Privacy Concerns
The app works generally fine. However, the privacy policy link on the App Store goes to a nonexistent website and there are concerns about the company having access to all of the photos on your phone.
Good device but limited functionality
The device and quality is great but I find the app quite limiting.
An example would be only choosing 3 distances on a roller for distance rather than having 1m increments or having distance on a slider
I’d also like to be able to create instructions in a sequence for it to execute then have it return to user.

Photo library access
Why does the app require full access to my phones photo library? When I set the option for limited access (allow the device to save to library and manually select content to share with the app), it doesn’t save video content and keeps prompting for access to photo library. There is no reason for this app to have full access to every item in the photo library. It should save to its own folder.

This is the most funnest app!
I bought the Hover Air X1 after seeing a few videos of it on social media and decided to jump on the bandwagon and I’m glad I did because it’s soo much fun and so easy to use! The app is great and I love that it has a manual mode too. The only downside I have is not being able to unlock the flight modes right away and also if you offload the app temporarily and reinstall it, all of your flight modes that you’ve previously unlocked start all over again from scratch, which is very disappointing for me. Another complaint I have is the log in process, if one logs in and decides to log out, when you try to log back into your account it doesn’t allow you to, instead, it wants you to create a new account which is just so weird. Other than these minor setbacks in the app, I still like it and hope that they can fix these issues and add more fun flight modes and features like voice control! That would be amazing!

Privacy
Many here concerned about privacy and photo sharing access by Hover. I use an older second iPhone when using my hover. Only photos on it are ones taken with the Hover.
App requires FULL access (not limited) to photos
I am not comfortable with the fact that the app requires access to all of my photos. Please explain why it is not possible to allow only limited access. Even if it comes at the expense of some functionality, I just want to download my videos from the drone.
Why does it need GPS access?
For some reason the app won’t let you download your videos from drone if you don’t give it GPS access.
The drone itself doesn’t use GPS to fly so this behaviour os weird and creepy.

Piece Of Junk
Since updating my iPad Pro to iPadOS 17.5.1 (21F90) the Hover no longer connects for downloads. This thing cost too much to become an unusable piece of junk.
DOH! User error. I just had to look in Files on my iPad under the HoverX1 folder to access the videos taken. So changing my rating to 5 stars because this little drone rocks.
