### 1/5 — 更新一下吧！！！！！！！！！！！！

*2026-01-21*

我用旧飞机难道就不配用软件吗，御二行业变焦版，录视频闪退，用喊话器闪退，大疆能不能照顾一下老用户，不是所有人都用新飞机！！！！

### 1/5 — Unbenutzbar! Komplett auf Chinesisch!

*2025-11-26*

Ist mir ein Rätsel, wie die anderen Bewerter die App überhaupt ausprobieren konnten. Alles nur Chinesische Schriftzeichen. Dass noch nichtmal Englisch verfügbar ist, ist schon erbärmlich und sehr ärgerlich.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2025-07-03, version 1.1.5*

App could use some work. When I try to use the external speaker the app crashes every time

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2024-10-16, version 1.1.5*

You can’t even sign in/up due to the keyboard taking up the screen so when prompted to enter the verification code it simply bugs out.

### 1/5 — I hope to sign in due to keyboard blocking verification

*2024-09-15*

Tried so many times even contacteddji 

Impossible to sign in I can put my name my password but cannot do the verification code because the pop-up of the keyboard comes and you cannot no matter how you try typing anything that is showing

### 1/5 — Worst app of all time

*2024-09-14*

Don’t even download it. You can’t log in because the size of the screen isn’t big enough for your keyboard. And once you connect an external keyboard just to get past that issue, the security check doesn’t work either. So it’ll continually tell you you’re entering the wrong password even tho you are not. WORST APP EVER

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2023-09-04*

跟安卓版本一点点都不一样，垃圾

### 3/5 — 精灵4

*2023-08-22*

遥控器能连接，但是无画面

### 1/5 — No option to connect device!?

*2023-06-19*

Is it just me, or is there NO option to actually connect to your drone in this app? It has zero functionality

### 1/5 — Really bad login!

*2023-06-04*

I cannot login simply because the devs did not consider the size of the onscreen keyboard which covers the login screen. Nor did the devs do the right thing and simply use the password utilities of the iOS which would allow login using the users face. As such, the app is completely unusable! You really have to wonder about what some devs are thinking when they put so much time and effort in yet ignore something like logging in!
