### 1/5 — Don’t Update

*2025-11-21*

I’m glad we found out how the app breaks many drones on updating to the current version before we spent 11 k on the enterprise version with the thermal cameras if they won’t fix this issue. Such a shame, I had lots of fun learning on the Nano+ but…….

### 1/5 — Risky

*2025-11-19*

Upgrade grounded my drone. Update at your own risk!

### 1/5 — Idioma

*2025-08-08, version 1.7.36*

No comprar este dron si tu idioma nativo es español , no se entiende que no tenga soporte en castellano

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-04-16, version 1.7.36*

Can’t update can’t get in contact with anyone is it any wonder people use dji

### 1/5 — New purchase

*2025-04-08*

Drone not usable as it will not connect to the app. What a joke. Pay that much money and it won’t even connect so you can’t use it. Returned.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-03-23, version 1.7.36*

Very poor support can never get hold of anyone, especially when it comes to updating firmware that will not update 
Totally grounded now due to unable to update firmware

### 1/5 — You will loose your drone from a firmware update!! Developers needed now!!!

*2025-02-15*

I can’t believe I am writing this right now but I need a developers response immediately. I turned my drone on this morning and was flying maybe a quarter mile away. A notice popped up in the app to tell me I had a firmware update. The stupid app won’t let you continue flying until you download the update but if the propellers are on or the battery is below 50% it won’t download. When that happens the pop up will never go away and comes back the second you reopen the app. This is what happened and I could not fly my drone back to me or use the return to home function because when the notice for firmware update is happening you loose all controls in the app and on the controller. I had to wait for the battery to get too low and the auto return to home feature kicks in. Well instead of returning home it decided to land immediately A QUARTER OF A MILE AWAY OR MORE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!! Well I’m sure you can guess but when I got to where it landed it was gone. Seriously why would developers allow that kind of ridiculous oversight to force someone who already had their drone in the sky to update the firmware and hijack the controls until they do even if they are in a position they couldn’t possibly start the update process. I am now out $1000 because of this stupid oversight in the code that could have easily been avoided. I need a developers response immediately because this is horrible

### 1/5 — Buggy Nightmare

*2025-02-12*

Anything even remotely related to Autel has been an absolute nightmare. Buggy app and software, simple information is hidden to where it’s almost inaccessible. I can’t even register my drone and Autel provides zero information on how to do so, or troubleshoot the issue. I SHOULD’VE BOUGHT DJI.

### 1/5 — Pilot ID not accepted

*2025-02-08, version 1.7.36*

App does not accept a valid pilot ID, which is mandatory to fly. Unable to use the drone at all! Please fix it ASAP!

### 1/5 — Absolument nul

*2025-01-04, version 1.7.30*

Drone absolument nul! Dés déconnections intempestives de la télécommande et du drone rendant l’expérience de cette marque détestable. Vraiment n’acheter jamais cette marque de drone qui n’est pas du tout fiable. L’application est une vraie daube cela va avec le nom de la marque peu connue d’ailleurs. Merci AUTEL pour avoir fabriquer des drones aussi peu fiables
