Unstable and caused my drone to crash

First use, had the drone at 400 feet and attempted to take a panoramic photo. Without warning, drone started tumbling from the sky. It appears that somethings shut down one or more of the prop motors. This was a DJI Mavic pro, less than a month old. I am an experienced drone pilot with over 100 hours flight time.

I do not recommend this app to anyone! Extensive damage to my drone. Not a happy camper.

Connecting confusing at first but works fine

Isn’t clear when you are registered but after a quick response from developer I’m up and running. It really gives the user a lot more options than the stock DJI app provides.
