Leave a Review DJI GO
Not for mobile!
I’m sure some people will think this app is fine. As in ”windows 95 was fine” while you scratched your head in frustrated confusion, or worse. Sure, it’s ”fine”. But:
The usability is extremely error prone! It is an app that was very very obviously designed on a big screen for people with perfect vision. The problem with that is no one has either. It is NOT a mobile friendly app. No, so sorry Charlie. And if you don't have perfect vision - you’re like most people: forget about it. This app is for recording video and I have missed many in-recaptruable videos from poor interface, user feedback, atrocious visual design, and disappointing usability on iPhone 9.Show lessnorcal-mike
Cumbersome workflow, no geotagging
I use this app with my Osmo
Mobile. First, I do not understand why I need to have an account. I am totally not interested in any of the online functions. When I am in the outdoors there may not even be any mobile phone signal. Second, why do I have to manually copy photos and videos from the app to get them into my library? I want them only in my library and no where else. I don't want to have to manually copy them. What's more, the photos and videos I copy are dated on the day I copy them and not when I took them. So if I forget to move them at some day they will be put together with others I take later on. Third, the photos and videos do not contain any geodata, photos and videos I take on my iPhone are all fine but those from the DJI app never contain any location data. That's very annoying. I have to add them manually later on.
Update: The developers broke power usage. I used to use the app for hours. Now my iPhone SE goes from around 80% to almost 0 in 10 minutes. Apple’s camera app still works efficiently. It’s just DJI’s that’s broken.Show lessMoglee
Great App
Love my new toy (DJI OSMO Mobile 2), people trip out when they see it in action. I like the app, so far I haven’t had any issues. The only thing I would recommend is that the developer would make it available for the Apple Watch to be used as a shutter remote. Giving it 4 stars because if FilmMic Pro can make it available for Apple Watch, there shouldn’t be no reason why DJI can make one too.
DON’T YOU THINK IT’S TIME FOR FIRMWARE UPDATE??!! add adjustment speed for the JOYSTICK just like the zoom feature.Show lessValdito
AMAZING!! I’ve been waiting for something like this.
This app is absolutely game changing. Adobe needs to step it up. I have been looking for an app like this for a while... and I can’t BELIEVE ITS FREE!!
I wish there were application integrations, I would happily pay a small subscription if DJIPRO integrated directly with Adobe the way ADOBE RUSH, does, so a click could import this rough draft into the timeline with edits, transitions and music for further editing.
I think that would raise the roof for everyone. It would give DJIPRO an ROI on their software, help the adobe community get things done faster. While growing and expanding the DJI audience, and giving this application more revenue for further development.
If anyone sees this review, someone please push this idea forward. ( and don’t forget to credit me as the inspiration ;)
I wish you all great success!!Show lessyup its still me
Bricked my Phantom 3 Advanced
Dji makes it too difficult to update firmware on these drones and controllers. I went to fly my drone the other day and it said a firmware upgrade needed to be installed on my drone and controller. I had to use this app to update the firmware on my controller. After I clicked update it downloaded the firmware without any issues. Then it began to install it. It was stuck at 0% for about 8 mins and then suddenly said firmware update was complete. After I updated my drone using a sd card and went to turn on my controller and drone to start flying, my controller would not turn on. No lights, no sounds, nothing. I tried plugging into charger, and still no lights. Now I can’t fly because this firmware bricked my controller. It said it was successfully installed, but now my drone does not communicate with the remote. I am unable to get the “camera view” button to show to try to install the firmware again. All it has is a button that says “how to connect”. The firmware update process has too many bugs and it ruins your drone. My drone and controller were perfectly fine until this last update. Now it’s a expensive paper weight.Show lessROCK3NROLLA
Most complicated device for electronics I have ever used.
As soon as something unexpected occurs solving it takes hours if you’re lucky to fix. Documentation is very poor. Charging issues are monumental. I changed it to 100% and immediately it started loosing charge although I was only scanning battery charge on iPhone. It went from 100% to 29% in less than 40 minutes and that was after I reconnected the charger. Also the connection to the port was not solid. It was my 4th time using it in the 1 month I have had it. Very disappointed in such a highly recommend item. Looked for a phone no. to call for tech support on line to no avail. Chat was not worth the time spent and problem too detailed to email. I am hoping driving to Apple store will yield better results and satisfaction. I gave two stars because two of the earlier times I used it I did get good results. Now it can’t seem to charge or hold a charge and have barely owned it for a month with minimal use.Show lessPffzzz
software renders their devices useless
The biggest problem with DJI is that their software makes it incredibly difficult to use their products. You have pretty much have bought a fancy brick, unless you sign in, and agree to their terms and update, their software and firmware, pair the devices again, and the calibrate, every time you try to use your device and now oh no! your battery is dying already, never mind the fact that you missed the magical shot you had just gotten an opportunity to take 15 minutes ago when you grabbed your gear! Also of not is the fact that the majority of these tasks require a signal, so if you’ve got a dedicated device as a monitor or camera (like an old iPhone) that doesn’t have cellular connection, or you’re out in the woods, on location, or just somewhere without a WiFi connection capability, you’re equipment is dead weight.
I’m not really exaggerating, their software is such a hassle to use that it goes beyond frustrating and hinders your ability to actually use their devices. Whether it be the Osmo series, the drones, the ronins, you end up with the same experience, you’re spending more time trying to set it up every time you want to use it than you will actually using it.Show lessViva la MAB
Configure Your Osmo, and Drop This App
Downloaded this app as it was necessary to configure my new DJI Osmo mobile 2. After doing my first film shoot, I went to export the videos and photos. Immediately I noticed a plethora of issues.
1. No Geotagging: Seriously, why? It's not hard, I already granted the app access to my location, is it really that hard to add location data to video?
2. Poor Video Management: Why not just store it directly to the iPhone? If it's an IOS restriction I understand, but exporting videos is cumbersome and annoying. Plus it takes up additional space.
3. No Access to 4k60fps: My iPhone Xs Max records at 4k60fps. Why doesn't this app?
4. EXPORTED SLOW MOTION IS BROKEN!!!: This is probably my biggest pet peeve yet about this app. For God knows what reason, exporting a slow motion video to your photo library causes a doubling of the frames. Meaning if you had a slow motion video that lasted 15 seconds, that same video now lasts 30 seconds. Other than throwing your video in another app, there's no way to speed these videos up.
5. The Movie Creation Experience: DJI has included a video editing application built into this app. It's complete trash. The preview doesn't display slowmo, the exported video doesn't even play at the same speed. I don't understand how they messed this up.
It will take a serious overhaul for me to continue to use this app. Until then, I'll stick with the stock photo app and Filmic Pro.Show lessOverklock3d
Well made except for some parts
I use this with the osmo mobile 2 and for the most part it works well. It does what the phone tells it to do, but the tracking feature is awful. When you have it lock onto something, it tracks it until the object changes like you move from one side to the other. Then the osmo will flip around (supposedly trying to find the object again, instead of going to where it was last seen and went) and the only way to get it to lock back on is to reposition the red box exactly where you first made it target or to cancel it and reposition it. In my opinion, it should be able to map the object as you move around it and learn that objects can move and change.Show lessdareallegalbeagle
Used with Osmo mobile 2
I recently purchased an Osmo mobile 2 and I think this device and app are great for those new to gimbals. I was afraid that I was going to have an issue with memory management, but simply clearing the cache freed up my precious iPhone space. The tracking and follower modes are neat and actually practical. However, the tracker does occasionally drop the object. The Osmo 2 works with the standard iPhone video/photo app and others like Filic Pro, however, to utilize the full potential of the gimbal features, DJI Go must be used. Overall, it’s a good app.Show lessJGlute
