### 2/5 — No iOS 9 support

*2015-11-07, version 1.4.62*

App does not work with ios9 products and the Bluetooth data link. I have tried this with new mini iPad 4 and iPad 2. Dji still hasn't fixed the issue. On iOS 8 it works great however documentation is poor and you are on your own to figure it out.

### 1/5 — APP CRASHES ON STARTUP

*2015-11-06, version 1.4.62*

Don't d/l this IT DOESNT WORK!! iOS 9 iPad Air.

### 1/5 — App not working!

*2015-11-05, version 1.4.62*

Very frustrating, just finished building a complete multirotor package for a University and at the request of the professor they wanted the ability to set waypoints. 
Well the App is not working with iOS9.1, PLEASE GET THE APP UPDATED!!!!!

### 1/5 — iPad 3 Model MD371X/A  Version Softw 9.1

*2015-11-05, version 1.4.62*

When starting the app it will crash. Have unloaded and reloaded this current app and it does exactly the same, crashes !!!!!!!  DJI this is not good, please fix this problem as there are a few hundred DJI customers out there that are not very happy.

### 1/5 — Very close call

*2015-11-03, version 1.4.62*

I've seen and read the many, many, stories of  DJI customer service and after many months of consideration have ordered a DJI Inspire 1 to go alongside my Octocopter.  I use the Ground station app frequently and see that there are a number of reports of it still not working, with no word from DJI.  

I have zero confidence in DJI so have just cancelled my order for the Inspire because it is reliant on the app to work and have concerns if the Inspire app stops working.

Very disappointing.

### 2/5 — dji

*2015-11-01*

've noticed with the DJI  app Groundstation could no longer works since they updated to 9.1 OSI
I found if you disable your Bluetooth on your iPad that works fine but it cannot find aircraft because it is disabled so it's something to do with the Bluetooth enabling part of the app that is malfunctioning maybe DJI could look at this app and fix it if you run the app it will run but then you will have to hit retry and it will do the same thing but if you hit cancel app will open with the Bluetooth disabled lotta people paid a lot of money for this 2.4 autopilot system that does not work maybe we should be asking for our money back if they can't keep up on their software applications get a bunch of people together I see lawsuit

### 1/5 — OCT 31 , still does not work!

*2015-10-31, version 1.4.62*

Looks like they forget about us,
 HELLO The CUSTOMER HERE! 
Just bought it , but looks like the problem with the app takes a lot of time to fix. 
I can still return it , HELLOO!

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2015-10-28, version 1.4.62*

This won't work on my brand new iPad mini with ios9.

### 1/5 — Worthless with iOS 9!

*2015-10-27, version 1.4.62*

App doesn't work at all with iOS 9! Please update immediately!

### 1/5 — Still no support Dji!!!

*2015-10-25, version 1.4.62*

Built all my drones for work one of the major factors of using Dji stuff is naza m v2's was the iOS ground station now it's not been working for over a month what's the hold up terrible customer support

### 1/5 — UNBELIEVABLE!

*2015-10-23, version 1.4.62*

This is shocking. Cany understand why the GS is not getting priority. Lots of us rely on it for work and now we are stuffed. DJI you kneed to sort this but I guess you know that.

### 1/5 — Need to update

*2015-10-21, version 1.4.62*

Wow unbelievable how this is still an issue about as unprofessional as it gets ... How long will this go unaddressed ???? DJI hello you there????

### 1/5 — DJI Get it sorted!!!

*2015-10-20, version 1.4.62*

Spoke to a DJI support agent who's reply was iOS 9 is very new, the app hasn't been shown any love in a long time! 
iOS 9 is available to developers along time before public release. The fact the DJI Go app works on iOS 9 shows DJI knows how to make things work on iOS 9. 
It is only two depreciated Bluetooth library's that are causing the crash, and there is a replacement for developers to use.
Disgrace that you are allowing people to pay for your equipment and not supporting the essential software to go with it!!

### 1/5 — No longer works with iOS9

*2015-10-19, version 1.4.62*

The app no longer works with iOS9. DJI just don't care when you call their support, what's new about that! This is a key component of the platform. This is the last DJI product I buy. There customer support is the worst. Wish there was a zero star rating you could give.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 9.0.2

*2015-10-15, version 1.4.62*

Please DJI when can we expect an update to resolve this problem ?

### 1/5 — App starts and crashes

*2021-11-24, version 1.4.63*

Just installed latest version of the app but it crashes as it launches constantly

### 1/5 — Never connected .

*2019-08-26, version 1.4.63*

Need update

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to drone

*2018-05-16, version 1.4.63*

I can’t find any instructions or support to help troubleshoot this problem.

### 1/5 — iOS 9.3.2

*2016-07-18, version 1.4.63*

Does not work with ios9.3.2, no update since last year. DJI bringing number of new apps now and then but why not support the connection problem with GS 
which is the basic function. One app cannot dictate people's interest to update the iPad os!

### 1/5 — Won't Connect

*2016-01-27*

Still won't connect with my P2. Is there another update coming DJI?

### 1/5 — When Phantom 3 support?

*2015-12-27*

We need Phantom 3 Advance or Pro support

### 1/5 — GS

*2015-12-17, version 1.4.63*

Don't work on iPad Air 2 looking for Bluetooth on iPad once switched on can't find controller of the phantom 3 pro

### 1/5 — App will now open on my iPad, but won’t connect

*2015-11-19*

I guess it’s better since it won’t crash now, but I still can’t connect to my phantom.  I bought my phantom 2 weeks after updating my iPhone and iPad, so I haven’t been able to use it even once.  In months.  Very disappointing.  Can’t say I’d recommend a DJI product to anyone at this point.

### 1/5 — Special thanks

*2015-11-14*

DJI i wanna say a special thanks for the update 
Your the best
Your the first at the world 
Good luck

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work on iOS9 sell all you DJI equipment

*2015-11-07, version 1.4.62*

This app and all DJI hardware related to their iPhone apps stopped working when iOS9 came out, not only has DJI not updated their software they haven’t even bothered to answer any of the thousands of customers affected by this FOR TWO MONTHS.

### 5/5 — Works great with my Flame Wheel 550

*2017-04-22, version 1.4.63*

I have used this version rather extensively with my DJI FW550 and the DJI 2.4 GH Data Downlink system and I love it!  I have written an Excel program which calculates all the altitudes including above ground altitude additions to clear any obstacles I perceive referencing county published contour maps.  It has work well for me videoing various altitudes on the side of a hill over timber.  I wish my new Phantom 4 Pro+ had an app for it's Android system similar to iPad GS Pro.

### 5/5 — This is tha OLD GroundStation app

*2017-01-26*

For those with newer DJI multirotors, running on the newer iOS devices, the DJI Ground Station Pro app is the one you need!

### 5/5 — This is not for the phantom.....

*2016-07-19*

I noticed people complaining about this not working on Phantoms, unless you are running an original phantom with a naza v2 installed along with the 2.4 dji link ( which is a separate piece of hardware for older systems) or the A2 flight control system it won't do anything. This app works perfectly for the product it is design d to support. It's functionality is limited as compar d to the dji go app, which is designed for the newer dji products. It's sad that people can't even research the gear they want to put overhead.

### 5/5 — Aerial photographer

*2016-04-16*

What a great app. It does what it says
I tested the waypoints and works great
Even better than PC ground station.
wish It could get even better features
but all good I never had any Issues with
It and using this on the DJI S1000 Plus
and works perfect!. you pilots needs 
To stop complaining, whining about
how it should work and it really does.
personally, I love this App so, forget 
the other ppl who doesn't.

### 5/5 — DJI GS

*2016-02-04, version 1.4.63*

Very good app working impressively. Outstanding!

### 5/5 — Good App

*2015-03-21*

I got this app because I could not use PC version reliably. It continually would loose connection with the aircraft and I would not have a status as to its whereabouts. This app has worked flawlessly with my Phantom 2 and I never loose the connection. My only complaint is the Apple maps are very outdated. I do the mission planning on the PC version first then go to the IPad and do it there. that way I am aware of any new structures that may be catastrophic to the flight.

### 5/5 — Super

*2015-01-12, version 1.4.59*

It's super, works perfectly.
I would LOVE to have the copter nose in when making circles... So I can make 3d images....
Next release maybe 👍

### 5/5 — great app By DJI

*2014-04-19, version 1.4.58*

great app so far 
I use it with phantom 2 H3-2D zenmuse …..

### 4/5 — Not For Vision or Vision+ or P3, Phantom2 ONLY

*2015-10-11*

Works well for P2 Zenmuse. It is not designed for any other version of Phantom so no P3, Vision or Vision+. 
This requires you to buy and install the kit/components for the P2 to function. It is not a highly polished app but it gets the job done. That wing said I hope they are working to update it.

### 4/5 — IOS9 not compatible

*2015-09-24, version 1.4.62*

IOS 9 is not compatible with GS
Please we need a update to sort this out
