### 3/5 — Very good when works nightmare when does not.

*2026-08-03*

I spend more time calibrating than operating 😢

### 3/5 — Create Track

*2026-07-25, version 2.1.8*

you cannot save a custom path profile layout on create track so you have to create a layout  every time

### 3/5 — So many features lacking

*2026-05-15, version 2.1.4*

“Track” mode (setting gimbal waypoints or “key frames”) is lacking features. You can’t even set presets for multiple movement patterns, and you’re limited to only 10 waypoints. Seriously lame. Imagine having a library of camera movements you can perform with a tap. Such an easy thing to add.

### 2/5 — Asks for reviews all the time.

*2026-05-13, version 2.1.4*

When an app doesn’t help but gets in the way by asking for a review 3 times in 3 minutes it’s gets one star.

### 1/5 — Complicado

*2026-05-02, version 2.1.4*

Es demasiado para lo que puede hacer

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-29, version 2.1.4*

Fun

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-23, version 2.1.4*

First time using its great

### 1/5 — Auto Calibration

*2026-04-21*

Wow!! Auto Calibration made it shake so bad it unwound from the tripod!! Wtf!! Good thing it was on the floor!!!

### 4/5 — Please Make A Dedicated App For MacOS

*2026-04-15, version 2.1.2*

I love using the app but using the iPad app with limited Functionality on Mac Is kind of a bummer when I know DJI can Make a Amazing Mac App, so DJI Please make a Ronin App for Mac, Thank you! -Lorenzo

### 1/5 — Einfach nur schlecht…

*2026-04-15*

Ich habe noch nie in meinem ganzen Leben ein schlechteres Registrierungserlebnis gehabt als in dieser App. Abgesehen davon, dass man nach gefühlt 500 Dingen gefragt wird, die man aktivieren muss, läuft die Registrierung überhaupt nicht rund. Trotz Erfüllung aller Bedingungen treten wiederholt Fehlermeldungen auf. Und hat man es dann endlich geschafft, sich tatsächlich zu registrieren, wird man direkt nach einem Abo-Modell gefragt.

Dann kauft man sich schon so ein teures Gerät und ist mehr oder weniger dazu verpflichtet, die App zu nutzen – und all ihre Strapazen zu erleben. Schrecklich. Vor allem, weil man daran nichts ändern kann…

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-24, version 2.1.8*

The app is not working it keeps seeing my device prompts me to put in default password but won’t stay connected long enough to do so I’ve reset me phone and redownload app ! I will be returning my ronin sc if this doesn’t get fixed seems like a bug in the app because it was working the first time I used the app

### 1/5 — Confusing design

*2026-06-15, version 2.1.4*

My Initial impressions of the app are not good. The camera would only take video and the app put my camera into a strange mode.

Focus and zoom on my camera didn’t seem to be supported in the app.

I am thinking of returning this gimbal- the DJI R3 Mini. 

But…I will give the instructions another read-through and try it again.

### 1/5 — Unhappy with the firmware update

*2026-06-03, version 2.1.4*

After new update my rs4 gimble cable not working properly with sony m4

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2026-06-02, version 2.1.4*

No me deja iniciar sesión es Basura

### 1/5 — Erro

*2026-06-01*

Atualizei meu RS4 pro e agora está travado no FPV e não sai dessa opção a tela dele fica travada nisso e não 
Consigo voltar para a versão anterior 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — The app is terrible

*2026-05-27, version 2.1.4*

No matter what I do, I cannot for the life of me get video transmission to connect

### 1/5 — 每次打开都要填问卷

*2026-05-23, version 2.1.4*

你们真的不用一下自己开发的软件么？

### 1/5 — Lame

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.4*

App registration and account required to use the gimble that was purchased. Besides being invasive, the app isn’t accepting the password I have. On top of that, trying to log in or crate an account causes the keyboard to completely cover up the fields, making the whole thing a chore.

### 1/5 — UIの設計はGoproの足元にも及ばない

*2026-05-13, version 2.1.4*

UIのデザインがコロコロ変わる。迷いがあり、自信のなさの表れ。

DJI mimo同様、UIのデザイン(機能も含めて)Goproの足元にも及ばない。恐らく相手を見下しており、研究対象にしてないだろう。

1. スマホで映像をモニタリングする時デフォルトで画面いっぱいの横映像になる。しかも変更できない。スマホを縦にした時、上半分を映像に下半分をバーチャルジョイスティックできたら最高なのに。

2. バーチャルジョイスティックが小豆のように小さい。デザイナーたちはご自分で使ってみてこのような設計にしたの？？信じられないよ！

3.他にも色々あるけど、どうせ今や天下のDJI様だから改善しないでしょうね、、

### 1/5 — No me permite conectar Bluetooth

*2026-05-06, version 2.1.4*

Ya se bloqueó y no me permite conectar por bluetooth ya no me deja hacer nada
