### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-11-01*

This app caused my drone to crash in a field

### 1/5 — Low quality

*2023-09-20, version 1.3.3*

Can’t access video camera. Keeps on asking me to connect on drones wifi.

### 1/5 — Just fuming

*2022-11-11, version 1.3.3*

Well, this was a gift and my first experience with a drone. So no money lost on my end but still. I’ve tried everything with the app and still nothing. 1 battery may give me 30 seconds and the 2 a couple of minutes. This product does look like a lot of others out there so I’m questioning to try another style and me pay more for hopefully a much better experience. Been watching tons of videos and I will say I’m hooked but this product just isn’t making the cut. I too am having alot of the same issues y’all are having with the controller as well as the app for just seeing if the camera works. No luck! I have a iPhone 10 and everything on it is updated. Instructions are very weak and having to wear two pair of glasses to even sort of see the words. A good note is I’m able to practice with this one even though it has alot of faults so maybe when I upgrade to a better one I will have better luck.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2022-09-27, version 1.3.3*

I can connect to the wifi on this app but cannot control the drone. The camera doesn’t work as well this is the reasoning for my review.

### 1/5 — NOT RECOMMENDED

*2022-05-22, version 1.3.3*

Bought it to use this product for just 2-3 months but it did not work for one day. App never worked and connected. Although tried so many time. Wastage of money and time.

### 2/5 — What wifi?

*2021-12-26, version 1.3.3*

No wifi connectivity. Can fly

### 4/5 — Works fine

*2021-12-12, version 1.3.3*

If your to dumb to figure out the app just use the remote controller 😃

### 1/5 — Absolutely Garbage

*2021-12-07, version 1.3.3*

I just bought the drone and I was super excited but when I pressed the auto takeoff button, the drone flew up into the air and when it went out of range, it crashed back down. I couldn’t get it it to turn back on again. If I could give this 0 stars I 100% would this is a scam.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-11-22, version 1.3.3*

I don’t even no where to begin! If the drone gets any further than 25 feet from the controller , it stops responding to your commands and crashes. After the third crash one of the motors dislodged and now it doesn’t work at all!!! I would tell you not to buy one but since you are here, you probably already have… I’m going to file a complaint with consumer affairs, and I suggest you do the same. Be well and sorry for your loss!!!

### 1/5 — Missing controls on app

*2021-10-06, version 1.3.3*

iPhone 13 pro. Video fair. Battery life of drone and controller don’t last as long as I would in bed with Pam Anderson. 
Only some of the controls appear when using the app. Quick up quick down absent. Right control does nothing. Won’t take off.
