### 4/5 — Why

*2026-03-18*

Idk why but why cant we just integrate the 3.0 in the app because old 3.0s are now useless

### 4/5 — Alright not perfect

*2025-12-25*

Amazing but log in was very easy and the vibe was the issue it was too hard overall excellent

### 3/5 — Power up 3.0

*2025-01-27, version 2.7.1*

I need this 4.0 app to work with my old 3.0 module. iPhone 16 Please help

### 4/5 — PowerUp 3.0/DART Rudder trim required

*2024-12-10, version 2.5.1*

I know you added the ability to use the 3.0 and Dart withe the app, however I am unable to trim the rudder via the 4.0 app.

### 2/5 — Cannot connect dart 3.0

*2024-11-11, version 2.2.1*

I try to connect dart 3.0 and it doesn’t show in Bluetooth settings.

### 3/5 — Bug?

*2024-10-20, version 2.1.4*

Cannot access the hangar without internet connection.

### 4/5 — More info

*2024-09-09*

This thing is great! But the one problem I have is that the instructions don’t show how to replace a propeller. Now I’m stuck with a hairy plane! If you put how to change a propeller in the instructions I will give freely 5 stars, but until then, this is my review. Other than that, everything is great! Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Can’t even use it.

*2024-08-29, version 2.0.2*

The new update has forced me to sign up with e-mail. It says it sent me a code but it never shows up and there’s no alternative, like a text. I just want to fly my Powerup.

### 1/5 — The new update is frustrating

*2024-08-17, version 2.0.0*

The new update forces the user to create an account, and then the app requires a wifi connection, which I don’t have when playing with my airplane. The app is also laggy on my device, which it wasn’t on the previous update.

### 4/5 — I miss the joystick mode

*2024-02-15*

Please bring back the 2 handed joystick mode

### 1/5 — To hard to use

*2023-12-10*

The product was to hard to control and would to go were I told it. now it is in the water

### 1/5 — Bad product

*2023-09-27, version 1.40.1*

### 1/5 — Should not be asking for a photo

*2026-05-24, version 2.19.4*

This is an app for controlling a toy. Why are you asking for a photo? That’s really creepy.

### 1/5 — Bru

*2026-03-26*

I bought this plane and I was so excited fly it right away. I flew out of my yard. It went. It was twisting in the air. It was so cool right until it landed in my neighbor’s gutters and now I’m standing here, wondering how to get it down I tried, but it just it and it might even break so now I’m here just waiting for wind to knock it down but I don’t think that’s gonna happen until like when I’m it’s like 2 AM so I can’t really do anything

### 1/5 — Dude

*2025-07-23, version 2.11.0*

it doesn’t even fly it went straight down I was so sad I just wanted to fly the plain😢 worst peace of garbage I’ve ever seen man I was just trying to fly it

### 1/5 — Do not buy the 3.0 model

*2025-04-22*

There is no app for the 3.0 model that still exists if you bought the 3.0 model your out of luck it does not work with any new app and the old app was taken off the market however if you buy the 4.0 version it does work. Still very disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Please note that the PowerUp 3.0 has been discontinued, and the companion app is no longer supported. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for being part of the PowerUp journey.

### 1/5 — POWERUP 3.0 Plane

*2025-04-17*

It looked complex when I got the gift, so I let it sit around for awhile.
I eventually took my POWERUP 3.0 plane out of the box, folded the plane, charged it, downloaded the only POWERUP app available (POWERUP 4.0), set up a profile, and it will not sync with the plane. 
If it was not going to sync with the plane, it should not have made me register with the company.
I had watched online tutorial, search for help on app web site, got a recent update to the app, but it still does not work. 
This was very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-04-12*

Not only does the plane not last even 15 seconds without draining but you can literally just hold it in your hand and swing it around and it counts as flight time. The plane is also super weak, broke as soon as it landed in grass.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Please tell us more at support@poweruptoys.zendesk.com so that we can resolve the issue that you've encountered.

### 1/5 — Latest update has issues

*2025-01-19, version 2.6.3*

App worked amazing last night. Updated and now I’m just stuck on “Logged In”.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to plane

*2024-09-23*

I followed the instructions online EXACTLY and yet when I get to the app screen with “Find My Plane” I tap the button and nothing happens. The button is fully unresponsive. I have restarted my phone, turned off and on the plane, and yet nothing. My partner also downloaded the app and tried on his phone and he had the same issues. So disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Please tell us more at support@poweruptoys.zendesk.com about what happened to the module through our support team.

### 1/5 — Recent update is broken

*2024-09-13*

The most recent app update (2.0.6) has a broken email sign up process that locks me out of the app. Whatever I type is immediately cleared out. I’ve used this product before, and it is amazing when it works. This review is about the iOS app itself to let the devs know that there’s a problem.

**Developer response:** Hi James
Thanks for your feedback. Please be sure to update to the current app version., should fix the issue you reported.
All the best

### 1/5 — Can’t sign up

*2024-09-06, version 2.0.2*

Sign up goes into some weird cycle whereby it flashes and deletes what I type in for name. So no way to sign up. No way to use app. Worthless.

I’d just like to say thank you for allowing me the privilege of using this app. It is so great and truly amazing. 

Thanks guys, Gaz Corbett

### 5/5 — Thanks guys

Speaking of truly amazing I was in drakes bar with quite a large pint of beer and I could see the way drake and his crew came up this river and I got to say it was Truly amazing and when I say truly amazing I mean TRULY AMAZING THANKS GUY MANY THANKS BYE BOYS

### 5/5 — Pilots need it!

*2025-06-13*

It is so good I am starting to collect Rc planes and the 4.0 was a great choice next I am going to get the 2.0. One thing you need is controller support wire you tilt your controller to turn the plane. Lastly you need to make a 4.0 dart (shorter version of the 4.0)

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-26, version 2.5.1*

Range good 
Speed goood

### 5/5 — 38/40

*2024-11-10, version 2.2.1*

Nice application

### 5/5 — Probably my greatest rc purchase of all time

*2024-09-28*

I have had a power up 4.0 for about 4 years now and it has seen a lot. This plane has flown like 500 feet in the air and lost connection due to high winds, sent into around 10 different power lines, stuck in trees for weeks with rain, and stepped on by a 9 year old. This plane still flies great but I have had to glue the seam in the frame once and replace the foam nose.

### 5/5 — 2.0.10 fixes the email signup issue

*2024-09-17*

Now that the app works again this back to a 5-star experience. Thanks for the quick bug fix turnaround!

### 5/5 — GREAT TOY!

*2023-05-31*

If powerup could add a screen lock function so the app doesn’t flip over when you try to turn but overall I might run out of paper soon😂

### 5/5 — Very Easy to Use

*2022-08-31, version 1.37.3*

This app is very simple to use and quick to set up.  All you need to have is the powerup 4.0 motor and it tells you how to make the plane.  Connects to the motor with Bluetooth easily.  No problems at all and the control has perfect sensitivity and is very easy to fly compared to some other drones on the market.  Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Great products, some suggestions!

*2021-04-04*

This is one of my favorite toys, I have both a 3.0 and a 4.0. I have no complaints at all (hence the 5 stars), but I do have some suggestions for how to make a near perfect product even better!
 
1. Bring back the dart/3.0 platform! It’s really nice to have a little slow flier in addition to the big fast 4.0.

2. Add the ability to make custom control schemes. 

3. Make it possible to put custom designs in your personal hanger, it would really promote the design process.

Otherwise thank you all excellent products!
