### 1/5 — No response

*2022-03-01*

I don’t know about anybody else but myself… I have went through all the motions, 
As directed by the app, per trying to reach out to other drone flyers local to me. Do you know avail they’ll be no responses at least not yet anyway… Seems people would be anxious as I am to hook up and meet up with other flyers and learn from each other. Just my thoughts

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2021-10-14*

Great group of guys to share your hobby with. I doubt you will find an app dev more responsive and connected than you will with this app. If you love FPV then this is home for you.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2021-06-25*

It all started with RRR using the app for event comms, now it’s a daily driver for me, so useful, and a lot of fun!

### 5/5 — Finally the total app for the drone community

*2021-05-13*

This app is the Swiss Army knife to drone/multirotor community. It has it all and impressed with the initial release.

### 5/5 — Simply the best drone community you can join!

*2020-10-10*

This app has everything you would want in a drone app. Locations, challenges, copilots and much more. Beats every single fb group I have joined. Up till now everyone is helpful and friendly

### 5/5 — Awesome new platform

*2020-10-08*

This app has some amazing developers and are constantly fixing small little quirks that a new app would have. It is a very good designed app and is much better than Facebook, Discord etc. Once again, they are always working hard on fixing little things, that is why I love this app.

### 5/5 — Come join the family

*2020-08-01*

I found this app back around December and it is an amazing place full of great pilot’s that will go out of their way to help you get started and have the experience to help when something unexpected happens and you can’t figure out what is wrong!!! Someone else has been through it and can help you fix it!!! If your just get started and don’t have a clue you will find help here !!! I’m WIZARDDETECTIVE!! Come join us!!!

### 5/5 — Great map!

*2020-07-06*

Nice app , and contains a nice map to be able to find more places to fly and pilots to team up!

### 2/5 — We need to be able to unfriend people.

*2020-06-28*

I pretty much never use this app but I have notifications turned on just Incase someone tries to contact me through it. All I get are notifications from some dude “Wizard Detective” who abuses the hell out of the app by treating it like his personal message board to just post any and everything. I’ll be deleting this app all together soon if we don’t get an update where we can delete people.

**Developer response:** Sorry for your negative experience. You have the option to "Block" any user, which will prevent their posts from showing up on your feed, or receiving any Notifications relating to their activity.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-05-06*

Great app made by great people
