### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-03-25, version 1.1*

We tried to get this app to work, but after following all of the instructions that came with the drone, it just did nothing. And then it froze, so I decided to delete it and redownload to see if that would help. Unfortunately, it won’t download again.

The drone is great, but we got this one specifically so we could connect it to a phone for controls and pictures. Unfortunately, we can’t do that. I hope they fix it, because we’d love to use it.

### 3/5 — Drone is cool

*2021-01-02, version 1.1*

App has lots of issues so uninstalled it now it won’t reinstall

### 5/5 — Awesome app for controlling your drone

*2020-02-29, version 1.1*

Love the iPhone app from Amcrest for the SkyView drone. The app allows you to view the camera in real time and control the drone at the same time. 

Some of the cool features of the drone include hover which allows the drone to hover in place. The feedback on the iPhone app is fast and let’s you control the drone in real time.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2020-01-28, version 1.1*

My family wanted to try there drone and it works great
