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 ### 4/5 — Good app for upgrades *2012-09-04* A small description of what upgrades each firmware has, would be helpfully. ### 4/5 — Very Good *2012-05-12* I like to use this app to update my ar drone ### 3/5 — Pauly *2012-04-26* Seems some what more stable I had a fly away and recovered it ### 3/5 — I don't understand it... *2012-04-25* Are these actually real firmware downloads? It doesn't work. ### 3/5 — Sort by version and firmware date *2012-04-19* Thanks for the notification to advise about new firmware versions, I set 3 stars only, but I will add one more if the firmware list is sorted correctly (1.10.11 is newer than 1.7.11, that is newer than 1.7.6) and one more if you add the firmware date in the list. Pierre ### 3/5 — 😳 *2012-02-13* Задумка нормальная, но нихера не работает😞 Почему? ### 3/5 — Have had no problems! *2012-01-24* Easy to use and stores firmware for retrograding the drone ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-01-05* Did exactly what it was suppose to! Let's you choose from all the software that's available which is grey consider all the problems that the new update has cause!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-01-06* This app doesn't work ### 1/5 — AR Drone 2.0 *2012-07-19* Does not support AR Drone 2.0 software!!! It would be great if you added support for the new model drone!!! ### 1/5 — sinnfrei, unnütz *2012-03-27* was soll diese app? ist das iphone mit der drone verbunden, erkennt die app kein softwareupdate, weil sie logischerweise nicht mit dem netz verbunden ist. startet man die app jedoch mit einer netzverbindung, erkennt sie kein update, weil sie nicht mit der drone verbunden ist uns somit nicht vergleichen kann. also: original parrot app drauf, mit der drone im wlan verbinden und sofort wird das update draufgenudelt, sofern eins aktuell ist. ### 1/5 — Does this work? *2012-01-19* Has anyone used this successfully? Can't seem to get it to work for me. ### 1/5 — Ne marche pas *2011-12-29* J'ai essayé à plusieurs reprises de downgrader le firmware de mon AR Drone sans succès même en appuyant sur le bouton Reset. Dommage j'aurais voulu voir si ça réglait mon problème moteurs au changement de batterie. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2011-12-20* Does not work. I've tried watching tutorials on you tube. None of it tells you anything! ### 1/5 — Don't bother! *2011-12-19* This does not work! You will waste your time!, ### 1/5 — Does not work *2011-09-04* Tried to downgrade. It says sending file, and to resart drone. Followed directions, but the drone version never changes. It doesn't work. ### 1/5 — it dosen't work。 *2011-08-27* this is fake software.！！！ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 5/5 — Works ok *2013-01-17* Works ok but versions are not in order ### 5/5 — Ein. FUr. Jeden *2013-01-11* Das. Bestte. App. Der. Ist. Das. Besste. Wer. Sich damit AUS. Kent ---5sterne--- ### 5/5 — PLEASE MAKE 2.0 VERSION GREAT ON DRONE 1 !!! *2012-08-21* THIS APP SAVED ME SEVERAL TIMES ON ARDRONE AND I DESPERATLY HOPE THEY DO A 2.0 VERSION BUT YOU UN EDUCATED USERS GIVING IT A BAD RAP PROBABLY MAKE THEM SLOW TO UPGRADE I HAVE 10 AR DRONE AND 6 AR DRONE 2.0 SO IM PRETTY SURE I HAVE USED MORE APPS AND HAVE MORE DATA AND FLOWN MORE THAN OH SAY ALL OF YOU yes we run into hard times learning and yes we all want it to work yesterday but bashing a designer isent helping us tell them what we need hell im sure they know the issues and nobody is worse THAN PARROT AR DRONE ABOUT MAKING AWEFUL TERRIBLE UPGRADES so firmwarwe is a must i wish it could bail me out now as it did with 1 ### 5/5 — Erst gings nicht dann aber schon !! *2012-06-01* Beim ersten starten hab ich auch nichts gefunden.als ich dann aber mein iPhone neu gestartet habe hat er erst über meinen Router die software gedownloadet und dann,als Ich mit der drone verbunden war die Software aktualisiert und alles läuft bestens -!!!!!! Wenn's nicht gleich klappt einfach nochmal probieren ;) ### 5/5 — Works good for me *2012-05-31* It has been a big help ### 5/5 — Будет ли добновление. *2012-05-01* Все отлично работает. Когда писал софт для дрона эта прога много раз спасала. Только вот с выходом дрона 2.0 почему то не обновляется. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-04-29* I had no problems whatsoever . ### 5/5 — Firmware *2012-03-30* Wat is this and wat do u do with it ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-03-06* I love this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
