### 5/5 — Update

*2019-02-11, version 1.9.14*

This app needs updating

### 1/5 — Pure rubbish

*2015-12-13, version 1.9.14*

Crash and not even updated for iphone 6 , got a ar drone but can't use it . Extremely unhappy is a small word

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-04-12, version 1.9.14*

Is this some kind of ridiculous joke?  I pull out my parrot to show the neighbourhood kids this cool flying video game for the first time this spring, and lo and behold!  I am forced to download this buggy garbage app that doesn't work. Is this your idea of product support?  I was warned not to buy a Parrot, but I didn't listen. Won't happen again.

### 2/5 — No accelerometer on app anymore

*2015-02-23, version 1.9.14*

I just went to use my Parrot AR Drone for for the first in ages.
My old app I used has been upgraded to AR Drone version 2.
I downloaded the Free Flight version 1 app and expected to fly my AR Drone as usual with the accelerometer. I was confused as why it wasn't reacting to my inputs and had no control.
I crested then realised the change you have made.
Please put back the accelerometer control to the app Free Flight version 1

### 1/5 — Crash App!

*2014-12-15, version 1.9.14*

Fix the apps! It crashes on 1 sec after opening!

### 5/5 — Ar Drone Morters and gears are not Working!

*2014-06-21, version 1.9.14*

I need help ;(

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-02-28, version 1.9.14*

Complains that I need to update the drones firmware (which is up to date) then crashes

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-07-11, version 1.9.14*

The drone it's self is amazing and fun but I cant use tilt mode and that's a big part of the app and why take it off

### 1/5 — Nice little App

*2013-05-04, version 1.9.14*

Well I accidentally let my phone update this App and now I've lost the accelerometer control function. You now have to control the Drone with the touch screen which I don't find as easy or enjoyable as being able to just tilt the iPone to change direction. I don't seem to be able to downgrade to the previous version either so I'm sorry to say I will be deleting this App and looking different one to control my Drone.

### 5/5 — Update

*2013-04-22, version 1.9.14*

The apps ask for updates...where is it?
