The only thing I would like to see so far (after about an hour on my iPad mini) is an option for course lock in any direction (I can only use east as a course for locking), and better gimbal control in flight. I highly recommend this for practicing camera maneuvers on a DJI bird that otherwise takes lots of battery to learn. ### 4/5 — I’ll rate this app higher if... *2020-05-30, version 1.77* I’ll rate this app higher if u fix da VR feature. While I can link any controller via Bluetooth, having 2 figure out which button 2 press 4 VR capabilities is frustrating. I linked a PS4 controller 2 my phone and tried 2 press every button 4 VR. Fix dis! It’s been around 4 years since ur last update also? ### 2/5 — Disappointing VR cardboard function *2019-05-14, version 1.77* Very disappointed that the VR cardboard function does not work on the iPhone 6 which has the latest software. Have tried it on 2 iPhone 6 phones and reinstalled twice. Good app otherwise. ### 4/5 — PLEASE ADD A PARK OR SOMETHING *2018-07-27, version 1.77* Gates or some type of fun environment with colors. The maps are so full and boring. 5 stars if u add better maps ### 3/5 — Good for practice, maps are very basic/boring *2018-06-01, version 1.77* I have been looking for anything to practice flying my spark. So far this seems to be the closest to practice you can find. Unfortunately, the maps are quite boring. The challenges are ok but end too soon. I do feel this is a great way to practice flying a drone but it is difficult to find any interest in these plain maps. ### 4/5 — Hungry for a Few More Scenes *2018-05-08, version 1.77* Great App! Now that I’ve tweaked the settings and got some practice in I’m ready for a few more scenes. I would even pay a few bucks for a package vs. buying my dream, the DJI Mavic Pro. You gotta love the return home feature. Thing about this quad, you never have to replace broken parts. 😎 ### 3/5 — Great app. Minor bugs. *2017-12-28, version 1.77* The sim performs well and, I think will be a great trainer. It’s the best I’ve seen in terms of simulators on the App Store. Good graphics, good options, and fun. For the time being, I left it at three stars because the function (that turns out to be reason I wanted this app) doesn’t work (VR/google cardboard). I have an iPhone 7 and all the specs. When I click on VR, it just splits a green screen. Looks like a glitch. If this gets fixed in an update I would give this app 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Wierd but good *2017-07-20, version 1.77* I wish the developer would allow you to change the settings instead of having them be locked, like the total thrust and sensitivity settings! ### 4/5 — Don't waste your time with the free ones! *2017-05-10, version 1.77* I used the onscreen controls and it was almost perfect. I was able to customize to my preferred controlling method and change camera, which you have like 5-6 choices. You also have many variables to adjust. I tried almost all the free ones before I realized they were garbage and cave in to purchase this one, and I am glad I did! You want a feeling as close as possible in hopes to avoid accidents in real life and this one delivered. Don't waste your time with the free ones. ### 4/5 — Great trainer *2017-03-14, version 1.77* I purchased this app after nearly loosing a relatively low-tech toy drone on its second flight. If you're new to flying drones without any training wheels (gps, compass, position hold) or not very comfortable flying FPV, this app will make you a better pilot. While the graphics and scenes are limited, they did get the physics right. This is an awesome trainer to get comfortable flying manually or in "sport mode" without having to recharge between flights or losing hundreds of $$$ with every crash. This was money well spent. It would be cool if the programmer could release some additional scenes. Also, being to toggle between day & night would be awesome (the app only has daytime flight scenes). ### 4/5 — Good but needs some modernizing *2016-08-22, version 1.77* I still love this app, but it could do a better job at simulating racing copters. Have an option to keep PIDs going at 0 throttle (air mode). Be able to select different propellers. A pine wood forest map would be cool. ### 2/5 — Half Baked *2016-08-18, version 1.77* The app is nice if you just want to use the touchscreen. But, if you want to use it with Google cardboard or virtual reality along with the controller, forget about it! Google cardboard mode does not work nor does it work with the controller. ### 4/5 — Good quad sim for iOS *2016-04-23, version 1.77* After I get used to really good sims for desktop. This app makes up lost time when you're away from computer. What's awesome - it lets you control the quad using MFi controller. There is a Google Cardboard support that simulates FPV experience using your iOS device in goggle. I'm giving it a four stars rather than five stars due to broken VR function in iOS 9. ### 5/5 — I highly recommend this app *2016-03-26, version 1.77* If flying quadcopters is your thing, thenI highly recommend this simulator. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it, VR won’t work *2021-10-18, version 1.77* Dissapointed. I was able to connect my controller but am unable to get the VR working (my reason for purchase). Don’t make the same mistake I did!! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-12-12, version 1.77* I just wasted $5. I bought this app because it worked with Mac and it was supposed to be compatible with all drone controllers. I thought that meant i could use one of my drone controllers with it, but i was wrong! Just stupid controls on the screen that providd an experience that is nothing like flying a real drone. I pribably should've just tried the free version first. Unless i can use thix with my real controllers, this is just wasting space on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Steelseries Nimbus doesn’t work!! *2020-01-06, version 1.77* Was excited to get in some stock time on my phone but the Bluetooth controller doesn’t work with this. Please help!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-11-02, version 1.77* Ok... so I use this app on my android phone with my frisky controller and it works... but on my iPad, this app doesn’t recognize any controller at all.... I need my money back!!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible 😡 *2016-09-15, version 1.77* This app stinks don't buy. This is a waste of money. If I could do zero stars I would. ### 1/5 — Apply *2016-03-24, version 1.77* Want my money back ### 1/5 — Version 1.77 does not work with iPad ios 5.1.1 *2016-01-31, version 1.77* I downloaded this version for my iPad. Launched simulator and display appeared for 2 seconds and crashed! Relaunched it several times with the same results. Tried to contact website support without going through facebook to no avail. I am not on facebook. I would like it fixed or my money returned ### 1/5 — Change it back, rate mode dead *2015-05-04, version 1.71* Seriously you need to fix acro/rare mode otherwise this app is useless. App was key for practicing and now its dead. You know what you did, please fix. ### 1/5 — Change it back! *2015-04-03, version 1.71* This recent update has ruined the game! You can't do flips it just flips out like crazy when upside-down ### 1/5 — Update ruined game. *2015-03-26, version 1.71* Cant tune the quad anymore. Try to tune the pid and everytime i try to flip it tries to autolevel... But auto level is turned off... Was a 4 star app, sadly now a 1. Thought it was better when the sliders were blank cuz i remembered what each one did. Now its garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Controller???????? *2021-01-11, version 1.77* Hello, what controller can I use for this app to my iPhone? Or is there a certain controller?? Can I use it Bluetooth, or connected? Regards ### 5/5 — Quadcopter fx simulator *2019-07-04, version 1.77* A absolutely fantastic drone in anyway possible so realistic fantastic flys like the real thing I like the way it returns home best drone on the App Store love it love Apple thanks guys. Richard the dragon Creighton 10 stars ### 5/5 — Drone操縦練習に良いです *2018-06-02* 他のアプリはゲーム性が重視ですがこれはシュミレーター仕様 ステイクコントロールで操縦 自動操縦設定も出来てドローン操縦の練習にぴっつたりです ### 5/5 — Please add racing quads! *2017-06-21, version 1.77* Best quad simulator on the App Store, but needs racing quadcopters. Needs more speed! ### 5/5 — Very accurate. *2016-12-20, version 1.77* This is probably the most accurate drone sim I have tried. Is it hard? Yes. Is it just an easy game? No. If you want to fine tune your control inputs, use this app. The challenges are good. Of course actual flight experience is the best. But learning how the advanced flight dynamics of a drone and it's compounded axis' work is very important. It's much more complex than an airplane when considering all the combinations of direction. $5? Worth it to me. You want an easy game? Find another free app. ### 5/5 — Great physics *2016-12-14, version 1.77* This is an awesome app with great physics. Are the devs going to release Apple TV app for this? That would cool with a controller ### 5/5 — Saved me hundreds *2016-12-09, version 1.77* I'm now a very good flyer thanks to this app. It has saved me hundreds from me not crashing the real thing Can't wait for more scenes. Keep up the good work,dev ### 5/5 — Great Training App *2016-10-23, version 1.77* The graphics may be very rudimentary, but the mechanics seem very real. Having just spent $800 on a nice drone, I have been very timid with it as I don't want to crash it. They can get out of your control very easily if you're a total noob. This app is awesome to gain some confidence and try some things before you go out in the field with the real thing. It really does help train you how to use the real thing. Some additional maps - like adding an urban area would be great, but the $5 is a tiny investment to make so you don't crash your $500+ drone. Well done guys! ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2016-07-07, version 1.77* Lots of options. Nice emu. Very nice emu lol ### 5/5 — The best multi rotor sim out there *2016-04-20, version 1.77* I've tried just about every drone simulator I can find over the last two years, this one is the most realistic, the most useful for learning and has the most control options. That's not to say it's perfect, it would be nice if there were more locations, the only location with much to fly around is the industrial location, and it would also be nice to turn off drone damage occasionally so you don't have to reset the level, but despite these personal jiggles, it's still the best out there by far. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
