### 4/5 — Mini3

*2026-05-16*

Mini3 にVR対応お願いします。

### 3/5 — Gut

*2026-02-23*

Bitte Deutsche Sprache hinzufügen

### 2/5 — Not connecting with IOS phone

*2025-12-03, version 3.17*

When connecting the drone cable to the iPhone, it automatically launches the DJI fly app which prevents maven from connecting to your drone, even when the DJI fly app it’s closed manually. Unable to use the software with the iPhone current version of the DJI fly app since there is no way to shut off auto starting the app.

### 3/5 — Warum keine Mini2 SE

*2025-07-27*

Die App soll ja toll sein aber warum wird die Mini 2Se nicht unterstützt ❓🧐

### 3/5 — Grid Wizard

*2025-05-06, version 3.15.4*

Good app generally but still nothing on the Grid Wizard vapour-ware feature promised about two years ago. If you’re never going to add this feature maybe remove it from the options as nothing has ever been done with it after all the updates so far. Now it’s just annoying.

### 2/5 — Fast alle Einstellungen fehlen

*2025-03-25*

Ich habe die App damals werden der Mini 2 gekauft und habe jetzt auch eine Air 2s womit die Naven App auch kompatibel ist. Jedoch traue ich mich nicht mit Maven zu fliegen, da sich nach dem neuen Update, welches nur die Missionsvorschau bei Wegpunkten beinhaltet. Alles andere bleibt wie vorher auch. So dreht sich die Karte nicht mit und es gibt auch keine Karteneinstellungen. In den Einstellungen fehlen sehr viele Einstellungen für die Drohne selber wie zum Beispiel die Hindernissensoren ob Bremsen oder umfliegen und vieles mehr. In den vorhandenen Einstellungen der Maven App funktionieren auch nicht alle wie zum Beispiel den Grid einzustellen.  Für eine Mini 2 wohl ausreichend die Einstellungen, aber für eine Air 2s ein unsicherer Faktor wo man nicht weiß wo man dran ist und immer zwischen DJI Fly App und Maven für die Einstellungen wechseln muss und ob Maven die Einstellungen der Fly App überhaupt übernehmen tut?

### 5/5 — Dji mini 3?

*2025-02-02*

Hello, good afternoon, when would the application be available for DJ mini 3?

### 3/5 — Serious Bug

*2025-01-05, version 3.13.4*

I have serious problem while flying with Dji Mini2, the apps suddenly quit and all functions stop. Regret to update to the last version.

### 5/5 — This app is a game changer

*2024-10-11, version 3.13.3*

I bought this app in the hope it would add functionality to my old Mavic Pro rather than having to upgrade to something more modern. I use this for tracking my motorcycle rides and it performs great up to 70kph. It allows me to run in sport mode and just does what it says on the tin. Highly recommend for any adventure motorcycle riders.

### 5/5 — Amazing Engineering to make Amazing App

*2024-09-29, version 3.13.3*

The developer, Michele, has put far more thought and expertise into this application than we generally see with any app, except with the ones generated by the Googles and Microsofts of the world. Makes even a very basic drone to be capable of things that DJI, for whatever reason, has declined to include. Perhaps because they involve thoughtful input from the user, which is all spelled out in exceptional user guides - in multiple languages. The inclusion of a VR mode, which runs not on the manufacturer’s goggles, but on the cheap, plastic lens headset that you can get for less than $20, is adaptable and adjustable for any user’s eye separation, or vertical focus anomalies. All in all, this clearly was a labor of love, by a very capable engineer, with plenty of time she was willing to invest.  Try it; you’ll like it!

### 3/5 — Non riesco a connettere il mio drone mini2SE

*2024-09-06, version 3.13.3*

Non riesco a connettere il mio drone  DJIMini2 SE quando apro l’app e connetto il mio iphone11 al radiocomando non mi appare il drone da connettere e non riesco a trovare un elenco di droni compatibili!

Chiedo assistenza allo sviluppatore 

Sperando in un riscontro veloce o in un aggiornamento dell’app saluto

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-08-17, version 3.13.3*

This such a great app. I needed to plan flight paths and point the heading and tilt at specific waypoint before flight for photo mapping project and it does exactly that. I can think of only two improvements. Obstacle avoidance and a quest 3 version. I was buzzed to se the VR button but unfortunately it looks like a google cardboard kind of deal.

### 2/5 — Dji mini 2 se

*2024-07-16*

Funktioniert mit dji mini 2 se nicht lieder

### 3/5 — Support for DJI mini 2 se

*2024-07-02, version 3.13.3*

Does this app support the mini 2 se?

I was under the impression that it supported this drone but I can’t connect the app to the drone.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit der Mini4k

*2026-02-26*

Die Mini4k ist der Nachfolger der Mini2, zum Testen mit einem Android Gerät ging es sogar. Also für das IPhone (14pro) gekauft, es geht nichts. Drohne ist mit der Fernbedienung verbunden und wird in der App als disconnect angezeigt, nichts, kein Bild, einfach nichts. Supertoll, 30€ zum Fenster raus. Klasse

### 1/5 — Não funciona com DJI mini 2 SE

*2025-08-22*

Depois de adquirir o APP descobri que o Maven não conecta com o aparelho! Dinheiro jogado fora. 
Em comunidades na internet aprendi que a DJI não disponibiliza SDK (Software Development Kit) que permitiria a conexão desse drone.

### 1/5 — ESPAÑOL

*2025-05-03, version 3.15.3*

ESPAÑOL YA

### 1/5 — Dji larda çalışmıyor

*2024-10-20, version 3.13.3*

Dji 2 de çalışmıyor sakın almayın

### 1/5 — Hata errors

*2024-10-14, version 3.13.3*

Aircraft disconnected hatası veriyor

### 1/5 — Funktioniert garnicht

*2024-07-20, version 3.13.3*

Hallo, 
Ich habe die App heruntergeladen, da ich gerne mit der Dji mini 2 se Active Track nutzen möchte. 
Aber Fehlanzeige. 
Sie lässt sich nicht verbinden, kein Bild. 
Sehr sehr schade um die 20€ 
Angeblich soll’s ja mit der Mini se funktionieren aber warum nicht mit der Mini 2se ????

### 1/5 — Nie kupujcie

*2024-06-21, version 3.13.3*

Straszny syf, rozłącza, gubi drona, wali sie jak sie tylko da, wlecial w drzewo i sie roz.... dzieki mavenowi

### 1/5 — Update homepoint while follow me fail and you might loose your drone

*2024-04-14, version 3.13.3*

While using Copilot and follow me track, the update home point fail and the drone will fight back to original homepoint. User will loose the drone if battery not able to make it back home. Here is the footage review for this case. I didn't loose my drone because drone location very close to original home point.

### 1/5 — Mini2seには対応してないです。

*2024-03-31*

Mini 2 seで接続できず。嘘のスペックを書かないで下さい。イタリア製ってこのクオリティなのね。。

**Developer response:** Hi,
No third party app can work with Mini 2 Se because DJI still doesn’t allows. 
We don’t say anywhere on our website and app description that the app works with Mini 2 SE.
Please send at info@mavenpilot.com a link or a screenshot of the full specifications that you refer in your review. 
If you have purchased the app by your mistake you should ask for refund instead of writing false bad reviews. 

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Bağlantı hatası

*2024-01-20, version 3.13.2*

Aircraft disconnected hatası veriyor çözümü nedir DJi 2 Se ne zaman güncelleme gelecek

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app for the mini 2

*2026-06-10, version 3.19*

A very useful app that’s still useful today. Adds features Dji don’t include to this drones so you’ll get more from your drone.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-09-30, version 3.17*

Great app for DJI drones. Constant improvement by developers! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — All the stars

*2025-09-30, version 3.17*

It’s getting better all the time.  Now does mapping. So many great features. Thanks

### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert

*2025-08-31, version 3.16.7*

Gute Drone-Software mit klaren Funktionen und zuverlässiger Performance. Benutzeroberfläche ist übersichtlich, Setup geht zügig vonstatten und die wichtigsten Tools sind gut erreichbar. Nützliche Funktionen wie Flugplanung, Telemetrie-Visualisierung und Kartenintegration funktionieren stabil und ermöglichen effizientes, sicheres Fliegen. Die Dokumentation ist hilfreich, Support reagiert zeitnah. Insgesamt solide Software, die sich gut in den Arbeitsablauf integriert.

### 5/5 — Just wish that DJI released newer SDKs for newer drones.

*2025-06-30, version 3.16.4*

Maven is the primary reason that I keep my Mavic 2 drones. The ability to plan waypoint missions and preview them in google earth; PRICELESS. I just wish that DJI would release SDK for Air 3s for those longer missions that need uploaded missions.

### 5/5 — Il migliore

*2025-05-15, version 3.16*

Assolutamente il miglior software per i droni DJI , aggiunge tutte le funzionalità che la casa madre non ha previsto più tantissime features di spicco come la simulazione del volo programmato prima di volare effettivamente la missione. Eccellente ed imperdibile per tutti coloro che hanno un drone compatibile.

### 5/5 — Actually worth the price

*2025-05-06, version 3.13.3*

I did a lot of comparisons while searching for a good third-party app for the Mini 2. This app unlocked a whole new set of features that I never could have dreamed of with the stock DJI app. I started with waypoint mapping for photography then moved onto some of the advanced following features. Finally, I popped my phone into a cheapo “VR headset” holder and behold: FPV on a Mini 2. And not just some poor excuse for FPV. Like actually decent FPV functions and performance. I don’t usually buy apps, but this one turned the toy-like Mini 2 into a surprisingly capable, feature-packed drone. Great job, devs. Thank you for this.

### 5/5 — Eccezionale

*2025-04-10, version 3.15.2*

Complimenti a Michele per questa splendida app. Il top. La possibilità di vedere in anteprima virtuale il volo pianificato è incredibilmente utile.

### 5/5 — Fantástico complemento para los drones soportados

*2025-03-25, version 3.15.1*

Una aplicación imprescindible para todos aquellos que quieren añadir un montón de opciones más a sus drones. Espectaculares para drones mini 2 incorporando modos de vuelo que DJI no proporciona como seguimientos, vuelos en FPV en 3D, vuelos programados con waypoints y mucho más. Totalmente recomendable. El desarrollador no ha parado de actualizar la aplicación para corregir errores y añadir nuevas funcionalidades.

### 5/5 — Acquisto per errore l’app

*2025-03-18, version 3.14*

Purtroppo ho acquistato per errore l’app per errore visto che non supporta il mio drone come posso avere il rimborso ????
E come faccio a cancellare la vecchia recensione ingiustamente dichiarata a una stella visto che l’errore è mio e non vostro
