I would buy a normal drone instead of this, for I believe that it is over glorified by the developers, and it’s over all just a disappointing, unreliable drone and app. Please do yourself a favor and buy something else. Would not recommend. It works, but it’s not worth the money... ### 4/5 — It worked... *2019-03-11, version 0.42* It was working perfectly until one day every time I selected a mode it would exit the app.😞 ### 3/5 — Constantly disconnecting 🥺 *2019-01-02, version 0.42* I had this drone since the year 2018 and I like it. But, what I hated was it was moving without me moving the controls. It was moving toward the stairs and I tried but I had to make a land. So I gave it three stars ### 3/5 — A O K *2018-10-24, version 0.42* My mom got the drone for me, but I’m so bad at controlling drones. I so glad They developed Clip mode so the drone will chase after the LUMI pod so it won’t become BS. Everyday when I play with it, I put it on clip mode ### 3/5 — Okay *2018-09-06, version 0.42* I was really excited to get it but I couldn’t find out how to work it out with the app. Hopefully I find out soon or else it would be a waste ### 4/5 — It’s good *2018-06-27, version 0.42* It’s pretty great but how do you make it follow you ### 4/5 — Ok *2018-04-15, version 0.42* Dose not go high but really fun kid love it ### 3/5 — It's good..Needs a update *2017-11-13, version 0.42* It's good and all but The app needs a update it's been soooooooooooooo longggg update pls! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2022-07-26, version 0.42* It connected the very first time I used it. The second time I just could not get the app to connect to the drone. I have tired uninstalling and reinstalling, tuning everything off and turning it back on.. all I get when I open the app is a spinning circle. ### 1/5 — won’t load to connect *2021-12-05, version 0.42* won’t load to connect ### 1/5 — DI YOURE SELF A FAVOR AND DONT BY DRONE *2020-08-04, version 0.42* If you haven’t bought the drone yet don’t by it it’s a waste of money the first day I did it it worked awesomely but I tried it after a while and I could not even get in to free flight so i tried other modes but only one worked and it was trash I also had to delete a bunch of stuff and the mode was the one were yours have to chase after it and see the colors in the sun light were there’s no such thing as led lights I would rate a 1/2 stars if I could and a note too the developer either make it better and and take up less space or just take the whole thing down and recall the drones this whole thing drained 3% of my battery ### 1/5 — disconnecting *2020-05-16, version 0.42* Always disconnected every time I went 20ft away. ### 1/5 — Return it *2020-03-31, version 0.42* DONT OPEN THE BOX RETURN IT! ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK! *2019-02-03, version 0.42* Mine won’t even fly. No stars. ### 1/5 — Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! *2019-01-01, version 0.42* Just keep disconnecting from drone, when you start goes ip anddown for 4 - 5 seconds and goes to the ground. Does not have any manual or reference for troubleshooting. Really bad experience. ### 1/5 — Poor connection and short battery life *2018-12-27, version 0.42* The controls is horrible in a windless room it kept wobbling around without decent control and it kept disconnecting from my iPhone ever minute or two and the battery lasted maybe 15-20 mins. Save your mone for something better ### 1/5 — horrible *2017-09-16, version 0.42* doesn't connect with my iphone what the heck is this i bought a drone to fly not to watch on the ground. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful *2017-06-25, version 0.42* The app doesn't work with our LUMI and IPhones together at all. It will work on our android tablet. So frustrating! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-11-22, version 0.42* I found this in my mom’s room but idk where the charger went. Worked good and a lot longer than what people say even at low battery. ### 5/5 — Nice drone *2022-06-09, version 0.42* This is good that you can even perform tricks and also it’s almost indestructible, the only problem is that the battery lasts for like 15-30 mins. ### 5/5 — It works *2020-11-02, version 0.42* It is way better than I thought I used it 3 years ago ### 5/5 — Thank you *2019-08-22, version 0.42* This is the best ### 5/5 — Disconnection *2019-07-08, version 0.42* Every time I press Free Flight I just get kicked out & I my uncle and aunt bought me this for my birthday 😭 ### 5/5 — B *2018-08-14, version 0.42* Good app ### 5/5 — Good *2018-01-07, version 0.42* Lumi is great but the app, is only working on my iPhone 6. So weird🤔. But overall,it is a great drone but how does gesture work?🤔 ### 5/5 — It's great!!!! *2017-12-25, version 0.42* It's every thing I expected ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2017-10-21, version 0.42* Pretty good app and drone I love flying it just wish it came with 2 batteries but it’s still amazing ### 4/5 — Practically indestructible *2020-08-26, version 0.42* Great drone for kids to learn with. Ours has been in a lot of wrecks and it still works great. I bought it at a garage sale for $10, not sure how much they cost new-but was def worth the $10. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
