### 3/5 — 6 years at 1 star reviews

*2023-08-30*

Is this App being maintained?

Why is it here if it doesn’t work?

### 3/5 — Update

*2022-07-21*

After some time spent on dji forums it is confirmed by litchi team that they abandoned magic leash. The idea is that the remote is so small that you can carry it and litchi will follow. What if i want to follow another person ? I see a lot of use for this feature and it is a pity it is not working.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-08-10*

Droneleash.com app worked on android but this doesn’t.

### 1/5 — This should not exist

*2020-08-23*

This hasn’t worked for 4 years and has not been up dated.  The company should remove this app.  Zero functionality between a smart controller and IOS devices.  Not even a hint that it would possibly work.

### 1/5 — NOT WORKING - PLEASE FIX ASAP!

*2019-02-18*

I purchased the Litchi app solely for the Magic Leash feature (as well as a new phone!!) and it is not working. I have contacted other app users and they have confirmed this with their app too. When attempting to pair the control device with the device to be followed you must press the Litchi symbol in the top left corner of the Follow Settings pop-up but it is completely unresponsive. PLEASE FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!

### 1/5 — Pésima

*2019-01-31, version 1.0.3*

La aplicación carece de información, instrucciones y soporte. Nunca me apareció el código.

### 1/5 — Won’t work on 2 iOS devices

*2018-11-01*

They should tell you it doesn’t work with 2 iOS devices which is all I own I can’t use this apps follow mode

### 1/5 — Iphone

*2018-10-16*

This app doesn’t work with iPhones 
Only android phone so save your money

### 1/5 — Still does not work in IOS

*2018-07-07*

I notice that others also complained about Magic Leach not working on IOS. Bought the app and tried it on my two IPhone X. There is no option to pair in Letchi app under track? Why put an paid app on app store that does not work?

### 2/5 — Pin

*2018-05-04*

What is pin?
