### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-12-28, version 1.0.4*

It’s not as advertised for one, it’s exactly the same as the free Tello app but with glitches. The camera picture all pixelated and never gets an actual picture then it crashes right after. A rip-off. I want my money back asap. If I could give no stars I would.

### 1/5 — You do not need this!

*2021-01-17, version 1.0.4*

The Tello drone comes with a free app. You do not need to buy this. I feel I was scammed! There are QR codes in the very small manual it comes with which were not easily advertised. If you scan those you get the free app. What a joke!!

### 1/5 — Bad connection

*2021-01-07, version 1.0.4*

To be honest I thought that by paying 5.99 I was gonna get a better app than all the free ones but I was wrong it’s as bad as those. App disconnects from my iPhone 11 Pro up to the latest software 
Tried it indoors and outdoors and it keeps Happenings.
I really hope i get my money refunded 
Thank you

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-07-20, version 1.0.4*

Does not work as advertised. Will not connect to controller and will not connect with iPhone 11

### 1/5 — No programming just a remote

*2019-10-01, version 1.0.2*

There is no blockable programming as advertised.
Which is the reason I downloaded it.
It is very similar to the Tello app but with easier access to trick maneuvers.

**Developer response:** Dear Aquatock, we are still working on all the issues, thank you for your feedback to expect a new update soon.

### 1/5 — Not as advertised. Half baked app.

*2019-09-29, version 1.0.1*

What you can do:
- take off/land
- flips
- basic flight controls (yaw, altitude change, move around)

What you can NOT do:
- programming blocks only allow you to fly forward ONLY.
- other flight modes arent usable, so does custom one. The + - doesnt tell u what it is for. The info icon on the top right does not respond when tapped upon.
- cant even connect to gamesir bluetooth controller. It shows up in the ui but it doesnt show you the option to connect.
- changing flight speed to fast not working. It goes back to slow when you open back the menu.

Honestly with this current state, you are better off with the official Tello app & drone blocks. I was hoping this app is going to be a game changer for iOS because android's tello fpv has "return to home". Unfortunately, this app is just another combination of two apps i mentioned above. Not worth the money.

Device : iPhone X (iOS 13).

**Developer response:** Dear ShinKaiZen, 
Thank you for trying our software to fly your Tello drone.
We just released our app, and we are facing a few issues, we are working hard to resolve them.
Your feedback is valuable, we will work hard to fix the issues that you have highlighted asap.
If you would like a refund and/or want to be part of our beta testing program please email us to support@phoenixair.app

### 5/5 — Better than the tello app

*2019-10-26, version 1.0.3*

Amazing controls and user friendly! Tello is more fun with this app!
