With the ability to navigate seamlessly between the web and mobile applications, Measure Ground Control features LAANC airspace authorization with built-in Airmap technology, so you can fly any airspace safely within FAA compliant.

### 1/5 — Constantly makes you log in. Impossible if you are out of internet range.

*2023-10-13*

Constantly makes you log in. Makes it extremely frustrating to use, especially when out of internet range.

### 1/5 — Falling at the first hurdle

*2023-02-13*

Unfortunately wont let me create a user account. Yes I’ve created hundreds of accounts with other software. All that hard work you’ve put in to make it fail so soon! Get back to me when you’ve sorted it!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2022-05-19, version 3.6.1*

I use this app just about everyday.  It has been very reliable so far, very user friendly interface, can’t really ask for anything more.  Keep up the good work!  Two thumbs WAY up!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-04-15*

I used this app for my DJI magic mini drone to fly it and over all it is better than the dji fly app since it has more features like follow me mode for drones with don’t have the feature on the dji fly app. You can also plane flights and things. All the other people complaining about this app on the reviews says it’s bad because they don’t have a drone and they can’t connect. The only bad thing is that the camera crashes if you don’t have an SD card and in the dji fly app, it still works very well without.

### 3/5 — Kind of a bummer

*2022-04-09, version 3.6.0*

Manual flight log keeps crashing the app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Have you tried the latest update? It seems to fix the issue for many of our users. If it doesn't work for you, could you contact us at support.groundcontrol@ageagle.com so that we can work together to figure it out?

### 1/5 — Can’t log in or create account

*2022-03-17*

What a shame can’t create account

### 5/5 — Wow

*2021-11-18, version 3.5.0*

Very impressed  . Works great with my mavic 2 . So not sure about the other review

### 2/5 — APP CRASH

*2021-10-15, version 3.5.0*

While this is an excellent app when it works, it has been crashing and unable to open. Also, while doing a solar mapping mission and resuming a flight the app failed to point the camera to -90 to restart and just started flying looking at the horizon. Like to multiple camera profiles, especially the XT2.

Seems they had fixed the app crashing issue but now after the most recent update am getting Camera Ratio Error and while it will fly the mission, no images are taken. Camera XT2 on DJI M 210

### 2/5 — Want link

*2021-09-21, version 3.4.1*

Cool app if it would link to my drone. Says it is compatible with all mavic 2s. This is not true

### 1/5 — Crashes since update

*2021-03-28, version 2.7.0*

Crashes since update 2 days ago. Worked fine before.
