### 1/5 — It’s the worst

*2026-08-04, version 2.0.11*

Really glitched

### 1/5 — Does not work!!!

*2026-06-03, version 2.0.11*

So I got the sentry gun right cause yk looked cool but as soon as I got it and charged it up and everything the gun did move around and work, but as soon as I got the app and “connected” the gun it stopped working. So yeah basically don’t get the app it’s straight buns

### 1/5 — Don’t use app

*2026-03-14, version 2.0.11*

I wouldn’t let me play with my gun and I wouldn’t let me start a game write a review if you can help me

### 1/5 — Greedy developers removed a feature that now forces you to buy more stuff to use.

*2025-12-26*

The app used to work with just the drone. We purchased the drone and used nerf guns. 
You could shoot it with anything and it would keep score and you could choose how many shots would fully bring drone done. Was pretty awesome 
Now, you also need to buy their blaster. I won’t buy any products from this company after a switch like that. The drone loses features of manual mode after you pair with app and you can’t use it with app anymore if you don’t have the blaster. We loved it with nerf guns but it no longer keeps score now.

### 5/5 — This was fun

*2025-12-25*

Worked really well. The controls worked great and was very fun to use the drone and fly around my house. The only problem I found was that sometimes the would freeze I would have to turn off and on my phone (ps if from won’t turn off hold the power button until the lights turn off) hope this was helpful!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-27, version 2.0.11*

App doesn’t work

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2025-10-08, version 2.0.11*

I got the faction havoc, fun, reliable, ease of use, AWESOME!

### 5/5 — I only bought the drone for the drone feature

*2025-10-05*

I only bought the drone for the drone feature and it works perfectly, the drone was cheep too. The app works fine for me and is easy to navigate. 
I do not know anything else about the guns or other miscellaneous items but what I bought works well for the price.

### 4/5 — Read this before downloading

*2025-09-27*

So my grandma got me the drone so I downloaded the app and it was not working so I tried on my dads phone and it was working it works perfectly.    Ps.(don’t try to flip it inside.)

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-08-30, version 2.0.11*

Do not buy! The app will NOT LET YOU CONTROL IT. I thought maybe I got a bad one so I bought another one. My daughter 10$ drone with remote control is much better. So sad because I was sooooo excited and so was my kids.
