Horrible app
Response from developer
Hi, I'm sorry the app didn't work for you, but "scam" is not accurate, and I owe both you and other buyers a clear picture. FlyToDiscover has been on the App Store for years and is used every day to control Parrot Bebop drones from an iPhone or iPad, either via the drone's own Wi-Fi or through a SkyController 2 connected by USB. That is what the app does, and what your $7.99 pays for. The website link you saw is in the About section. It points to FTD company. If you already own a Bebop, this app is your controller for it. If your Bebop 1 or Bebop 2 doesn't show up in the app, that is almost always a Wi-Fi or permission setup issue, and often a simple fix. Email us with: • your drone model (Bebop 1 or Bebop 2) • your iPhone/iPad model and iOS version • what happens when you power the drone on and open the app I answer personally, usually same-day. If you'd still prefer a refund, App Store purchases can be refunded through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com within the standard refund window. Any refund request you send directly to me will also be approved on my side. Stefano
Really bad app
Response from developer
Hi, sorry for the confusion — the Bebop creates its own Wi-Fi network, you connect your phone to "Bebop2-XXXX" (not home Wi-Fi) and fly within the drone's own range. Version 1.8.2 (just released) rewrites the Wi-Fi detection so the app reliably sees the Bebop once you're joined to that network. Please update and give it another try.
Controller Issues
Response from developer
Hi, sorry for the trouble. The SC2-connects-but-app-sees-nothing pattern was the Wi-Fi detection bug between the SkyController and the Bebop. Version 1.8.2 (just released) rewrites that detection and the controller-disconnect-on-drone-power path is also hardened. Please update FlyToDiscover and try again: SC2 first, then power the Bebop.
Sky controller 2
Response from developer
Hi Alan, the wait paid off — version 1.8.2 (just released) rewrites the SkyController USB detection so the SC2 + Bebop 2 chain pairs correctly. Plug the iPhone into the SC2 via USB (not Wi-Fi), power on the Bebop and update FlyToDiscover from the App Store: you should be able to fly without sticking to 360 photos only.
