User reviews

Free trial lasted all of 20 minutes. What a waste of time.

The winds are out of the south, not the north. I don’t really understand how you can charge money for this? Sunset is at 1945, not zero 0845

Maybe I don’t understand what the purpose of the app is supposed to be. either way all this information is available at your fingertips on your smart controller, smart phone or free websites. I suppose the interface seems nice but I don’t get what I’m supposed to do with it.

Anyway, I think there’s potential for something here, maybe. But right now it’s junk. Free trial lasted all of about 20 minutes.

No more support

I bought this app recently for a DJI mini Pro drone. App won’t connect to the drone and the developer support site is gone. Seems to be an abandoned app.

Amazon is the best with drones

Where did you guys make this every time I son trip every time he wakes up he says where’s my jewel where’s my drone and he loves it it’s it’s always in good condition. The battery takes a little too long for 8 to 10 minutes. The graphics are amazing. Flight time is not that good but but my son still loves it.

Appears completely non-functional

Surely one of the major features of the app is to plan a flight but this seems to be completely bugged. It doesn’t matter I do this just seems to crash the app. I can choose a location for a flight path but after that there seems to be no way to actually create a flight path. Any interaction with the map just crashes the app. I thought that perhaps subscribing would solve the problems but adding that seems to have made no difference to the app whatsoever, including adding additional features.
