Locked out of drone in the middle of nowhere

After the latest app update, I was foolish enough to not verify the connection. Later, on a mountain summit with no cell coverage, I could not connect to the camera as the app enforced the creation of a user account. Add to this the repeated failures to connect to drone’s WiFi, and the ads and sharing spam to the detriment of drone control. I cannot emphasize enough how dumb and unreliable the design of this app is. Great hardware, let down software.

Horrible app

You cannot access your videos or photos even when logged in. You must have your Hover connected, powered on, and in range to then see the photos and videos - then you have to export them back to your phone. Can’t just access the videos/photos via the app anytime like any ordinary app would have.

UI is confusing.

Needs to access your phone’s videos and photos as well in order to function properly - why???

Uses notifications to send out ads!

I hope the app never needs to notify me of anything important. They used notifications to send out advertisements so I had to disable notifications. Notifications should only be used to send information about the operation of the drone, not advertising!

App Does not work

This app will download I will try to log in and the app closes out. Doesn’t seem to make a difference after I restart the app, my phone
or download and re try.

Great App and Excellent Support

I’ve been using this app for a while (originally as a Kickstarter backer), and overall it’s been a great experience. The interface is simple to use and the automated flight modes are really impressive.

What stood out most to me was the customer support. The team was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make things right. That level of support really builds confidence in the product.

Really appreciate the team behind this.
