### 1/5 — Buggy!

*2026-08-02, version 1.5.1*

I can not get it to connect to the drone even when I’m on the drones Wi-Fi. It disconnects when it finally does connect and then locked my phone out then the app opens back up, then wants me to recalibrate it, and then lock out again in a continuous cycle. I finally got a calibrated and it starts to just take off wherever. Very scary not knowing id my drone is going to just take off or not and never come back.A horrible app!

### 1/5 — HS GPS V5

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.1*

Bought off of Amazon, went to fly for the first time installed an updated everything, and the app keeps crashing. Not a very happy guy.

### 1/5 — No good.

*2026-03-11, version 1.5.1*

Stopped working completely. Useless

### 1/5 — Why 17+?

*2026-01-18, version 1.5.0*

Why is this app rated for 17+? I’m not going to change my kid’s content settings, so then he has to use my phone to use his drone.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!

*2025-12-25, version 1.5.0*

Do NOT purchase this garbage. The drone is stuck on “unlock drone” and never takes off. Instructions and POORLY WRITTEN.

### 1/5 — F this app

*2025-12-23, version 1.5.0*

This app sucks

### 1/5 — WIFI / GPS Doesn’t Work

*2025-06-04, version 1.4.3*

Yes, I followed the instructions and many many times I might add. Done everything exactly right. Even left the drone, receiver and phone alone to connect. Finally the drone just turned itself off. I will be returning the drone to Amazon.

### 1/5 — Sorry

*2025-05-06, version 1.4.3*

Sorry if you just bought this drone to use this app. The first one I got worked for a couple days and then stopped connecting to the drone. Called the holy stone people and after some back and forth told me I had a bad drone and they sent me another one. Same thing, worked for a couple flights and now no longer connects. Do your self a favor at this point and return it.

### 2/5 — No audio or speech cues.

*2025-05-04, version 1.4.3*

The amount of times I have been flying under a tree and, because of low battery, it randomly enables RTH and flys straight up into the tree is getting concerning. One of these days I will no doubt brake my drone.

Instead of automatically enabling RTH at 20% (which is enough to get some more flight time) it could give an audio cue like “battery low” and then enable RTH at 15 or 10% instead.

### 5/5 — It’s amazing!

*2025-02-07, version 1.4.3*

This drone and app works perfectly! I love this app the setup is easy and the camera works really good too!
