## What is Drone On My Phone?

Want to learn how to fly a drone or improve your FPV flying skills? Drone On My Phone has been designed by the makers of Electric RC Sim to help you learn and improve faster. It includes challenges for both FPV (First Person View) and LOS (Line Of Sight). Many challenges are free and there is no third-party advertising.

Drone On My Phone now includes larger open maps if you'd rather just fly and focus on freestyle or doing things your way.

Drone On My Phone includes MFi game controller support. iOS 13 and higher supports PS4 and Xbox controllers. VR mode is available with a game controller and suitable headset, including both 2d view (like FPV goggles) and 3d view options.

Drone On My Phone also includes Bluetooth multiplayer racing. Challenge a nearby friend with Drone On My Phone over bluetooth.

Drone On My Phone uses our realistic physics engine. Beginner challenges are performed with the full physics engine and additional stabilization to simplify flying while you are still learning. This is designed to allow you to learn the skills you need a bit at a time rather than being overwhelmed with too much to remember at once. Skills to practice include hovering, landing and flying through gates.

When you feel you are ready, there are more advanced challenges to try. High and low rates are also available. Start low while you are learning, then switch to high rates when you are ready to go faster.

Drone On My Phone also includes a Games map which consists of a number of obstacle courses to fly. These are fun and will help improve your hovering and maneuvering skills.

Additional maps with more challenges are available as a low cost In-App Purchase (IAP) to help you take your skills to the next level. An Advanced Controller is available as a low cost IAP that allows you extra control over things such as expo, rates, FPV camera tilt, and drone mode. The default drone mode is STAB (also called angle mode), which gives automatic stabilization and is great for learning. It's the mode that most store-bought drones use. ACRO drone mode (also called rates mode) is also available via the Advanced Controller for advanced flying such as loops, flips, barrel rolls and maximum speed flying.

To enable a game controller, first pair your controller under iOS Settings, Bluetooth. Button bindings are shown under the Options menu in Drone On My Phone. Once a controller is paired, you can enable VR mode by pressing the appropriate button on your controller. VR mode requires a suitable headset to view properly, such as a Google Cardboard headset.

To challenge a nearby player over Bluetooth, both players should first start Drone On My Phone and go to the "Challenges" page. One player can then press "Host", and the other player can press "Join". When they are connected, the player who is hosting can select challenges and both players can compete in real time. All the free challenges are available to choose from. Also, if the host has purchased additional challenges, then all those challenges will be available as well. Bluetooth has a range of around 20m (60 feet), so you'll want to be sitting near each other. Perfect for that long bus ride or car trip!

We hope you have as much fun playing Drone On My Phone as we had making it (and playing it!)

Here are some of the great App Store reviews we've been getting:

"This is my favorite drone app by far!! Great for a beginner like me trying to learn the basics of flying a real drone."

"... if you can fly successfully using this app, you'll be able to fly the drone of your choice in the real world. The physics are realistic, and the obstacle course style training – in my opinion – is a really great way to learn to control your quad."

"I've been searching for far too long for a good FPV simulator to practice or just play around when I'm at school. This game's physics are some of the closest to life you will find at the time and the controls are spot on!"

"Hands down the best drone simulator on iOS"

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-08*

Ce simulateur est trop bien et la physique très correct, il est EXTRA fluide grâce à ses graphismes limités même si ceux ci reste vraiment jouable, seul tout petit bémol: le mode accro est à 1,99€ , et les maps sont limitées mais grandes 

Je recommande pour sa fluidité et ses prix Extrêmement bas (1,99€ pour le mode accro et le tilt de la caméra; 2,99€ pour 2 maps Free flight de plus & 1,99 pour 2 maps défi en plus) 

Les 5 étoiles que je lui donne sont méritées


PS serait-il possible d’ajouter un éditeur de map s’il vous plait ?

### 2/5 — Not great

*2026-04-18*

U can’t connect a dji RC n3

### 1/5 — Can’t believe this

*2026-03-12, version 1.4*

I can’t even change the rates???
Where is ACRO???
One of most stupid simulators I ever seen

### 4/5 — Very good overall

*2026-02-15, version 1.4*

Very fun for a bit after you get it, but after a while the limited maps got kinda boring and I don’t play much anymore because you have to pay for new maps and I don’t want to pay

### 1/5 — Unrealistic

*2026-01-21*

The controls are so drastic in movement it is terribly unrealistic to real flight

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-01-01, version 1.4*

I as a child have a drone that is hard to control and has 2 speed modes and is super sensitive so this helps a lot

### 5/5 — add more maps, I’ve been playing for a while now

*2025-11-03, version 1.4*

After spending countless hours flying in this drone simulator, I can confidently say it’s one of the most immersive and well-polished simulators available right now. The flight physics feel incredibly realistic, the graphics are detailed, and the variety of drones keeps the experience fresh. However, there are still a few areas where the game could evolve to reach its full potential — specifically in map diversity, a dedicated replay system, and the addition of multiplayer in “Just Fly” mode.

1. More Maps for Greater Exploration
While the existing environments are beautifully designed, after a while they start to feel limited. The current selection of maps provides solid variety in terrain and lighting, but experienced pilots often crave new challenges and fresh scenery. Expanding the number of maps — especially with more urban landscapes, mountain ranges, and industrial areas — would greatly enhance the sense of discovery. Having environments with different weather conditions and times of day would also add a new level of realism and replayability. The joy of drone flying often comes from exploring unique spaces, so more maps would mean more creative freedom for pilots of all levels.

2. A Replay Mode for Learning and Sharing
One major feature missing right now is a proper replay system. A replay mode would be invaluable for both casual players and professional FPV pilots. It would allow users to review their flights from different angles, analyze maneuvers, and identify areas for improvement. For content creators, a replay feature could also open new doors for cinematic videos and tutorials. The ability to save and rewatch flights — with free camera controls, slow motion, and overlay options for telemetry data — would transform the simulator into a powerful tool for both entertainment and education.

3. Multiplayer in “Just Fly” Mode
The simulator’s “Just Fly” mode is one of its most relaxing and enjoyable features. However, it currently feels like a missed opportunity that this mode doesn’t support multiplayer. Being able to simply hang out and fly together with friends, without the pressure of racing or competition, would bring an entirely new social dimension to the simulator. Imagine exploring maps together, practicing formation flying, or organizing casual freestyle sessions. Even with minimal interaction features — like seeing other players’ drones and basic chat — the multiplayer “Just Fly” experience could make the simulator feel alive and connected.

### 1/5 — Даже не близко

*2025-09-24*

Близко не похоже на управление реальным аппаратом. 0/10. Не тратьте свое время

### 5/5 — Mode libre

*2025-09-22*

Ce mode libre est trop bien mais il faut payer pour d’autres maps merci de lire!

### 5/5 — More maps!

*2025-09-12, version 1.4*

Add a few new maps, something with mountains or canyons or a full city :)
I’d buy them gladly
