If you cannot see your drone, it’s likely not the app - here’s my story. I started using this app on my iPad and iPhone when it first came out. But I could not see my Phantom 4, my Autel EVO Ii or my DJI M2EA - all of which have RID via firmware upgrade. I used Holy Stone’s RID modules broadcasting via Bluetooth 5. As stated by the app developer and many online sources, Apple devices are not allowed to open their WiFi, and many of the drones use the WiFi versus Bluetooth. Being somewhat OCD, I wanted to really see if my three drones were really outputting RID like the manufacturers claimed. So…. After hunting, I found a great device, albeit a lot of money, that ACTUALLY CAN read the WiFi and Bluetooth signals from the drones, and then rebroadcasts locally to Bluetooth, so this app reads that VERY WELL I am pleased beyond measure - no more external module, relying solely on the drone’s output. The device is made in and shipped from Norway and is called Dronescout Bridge, made by Bluemark. (see the models at www.dronescout.co) They have four versions $99, $149, $129 and $79. (Plus shipping and custom fees) The less expensive has an internal antenna and hence the receiver distance is less. The most expensive one comes enclosed in a little case with external antenna, has almost a mile reception and is powered by usb-c connector. With the REMOTE SCANNER APP here, you can see multiple drones in the air at the same time. Awesome. I realize you can buy a whole bunch of RID modules for that money, but you will be stuck with Bluetooth reception only. If you are a ‘perfectionist’ and have some ‘extra’ money for this hobby or business, do it!
