Privacy invasion or stealing data or both.
This section of the App Store says the developer does not collect information. That is a lie. Read the current “privacy policy” and Terms of Use (required to even use the app). It is EXTREMELY invasive, including giving the developer the right to collect, archive and share data with third parties.
Even worse, just to use the app, you are required to give the Hover app FULL access to your ENTIRE PHOTO LIBRARY. You cannot select “None” or “Limited Access” but only “Full Access.” (Zero-Zero, please stop this!)
There is NO need to access my personal photo library…NONE! This just seems like an invasion of privacy and allows China to get all your photos.
The Hover app can “download” the video/photos you take with Hover to your iOS Photos library, but there is zero reason the app needs “Full Access” to do that.
Great innovative and unique product! Great app, but zero-zero needs to change the privacy policy.

Hover Air X1 App
I must honestly say I’m very new to using the hover air. The app makes it so easy and with the most recent updates this is one of the most user-friendly apps to work with a flying camera I have ever seen as a tech reviewer. It is very hard for me to find TECH that I am openly willing to refer to users, this is an exception this is an outstanding app

Permissions Issues
The app requires _full_ access to the photo library, but it should only really need access to selected photos (since it should only be adding photos to the phone). Nothing against this particular developer but I only grant permissions that are explicitly necessary.
The app seems good in terms of easy setup / quick speed but without being able to transfer photos it’s kind of moot.
Hopefully this is an improvement the developers can make and I will adjust my review at that time.

Great app. Works well.
Accessibility for screen reader users is quite poor
Exciting tech, but what's the use of it if the app itself is marginally accessible? I could not even initiate connection / pairing with VoiceOver screen reader. It is likely the unit is flying back to where it came from! :)
Doesn’t allow you to shoot more than 15 secs
DOENST ALLOW you to shot more that 15 Secs in specific mode. I bought this to shoot for a music video for example in Orbit mode. It will stop after 15 secs! Thats not even close to good enough.
WE NEED A DURATION OPTION ON ALL MODES! Or program a sequence
The only other option is “Smart Control” which you’ll have to wave you hands around sparatically trying to get it to continue orbiting! Which looks terrible
After this is FIXED I will IMMEDIATELY UPDATE to 5 stars!!

App should not require full photo access
Great (almost magical) automated technology, but I don’t trust a company based out of China with all of my photos. Please update and allow me to add photos to my library without giving access to it.
Awesome
So far so good!! Just bought it, it’s amazing can’t wait to try it out more!
NEEDS IMAGE QUALITY ADJUSTMENTS
Overall good and easy to use but I returned mine and the reason is simple. This drone/app needs settings for camera quality adjustments. Image of this drone is consistently overexposed and no way to control EV or dial down the exposure. Same for the contrast that is way too high. And let's not even mention abhorrent oversharpening. Why manufacturers.do this? They insist on images looking like a plastic cheap mobile phone.. why? With a basic user controlled Exposure/EV, Saturation, Contrast and Sharpening settings, the image quality of this drone would be infinitely better. If they add this to the drone, I'll conside buying it again. As it is, is really limited and unfortunately not as good as it could be.

Scary User Agreement
I was contemplating purchasing this drone but saw reports of the user agreement. I couldn’t believe it actually was this crazy so I downloaded the app and read it for myself. I am not buying a drone to allow them to sell my personal photos to third parties without compensation. This honestly shouldn’t be legal.
