### 3/5 — Well, it works

*2014-06-11*

It does work as I had an issue with an upgrade from the AR.Drone app. Used this to downgrade then re-upgrade and all fixed. Only thing, this app needs more newer versions as they are VERY old now.

### 2/5 — Umm

*2014-03-27*

I dont understand how to do this

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2013-08-09*

Pretty simple to use. Connect to the Internet first. NOT YOUR DRONE! Open the app and the download the update you want. They are not in order so the latest firmware is a little further down. When you tell it to download, it takes a minute and seems to be doing nothing but when it's done it will show the update with a check mark next to it. Now exit the app, connect to your drone, and the relaunch the app. It will let you send the update. After the update it pops up a message telling you how to finish the update. BE PATIENT!!

### 1/5 — Not good!

*2013-04-07*

A little information on what/how to use might be useful, without the info this app is just a chocolate fire guard!

### 5/5 — Works ok

### 4/5 — Good app for upgrades

*2012-09-04*

A small description of what upgrades each firmware has, would be helpfully.

### 5/5 — PLEASE MAKE 2.0 VERSION GREAT ON DRONE 1 !!!
