*2026-01-23, version 2.1.4*

I like this drone app but surprisingly no updates

### 1/5 — Camera view is upside-down!

*2026-01-21*

I never could fix the camera. The view was upside-down! I could not get any features or software working. I never could get any customer support. I guess you get what you pay for  from China.

### 5/5 — Worked with Mach X  Drone for video

*2026-01-05*

### 1/5 — The ok button

The OK button popped up at the top of the screen and I couldn’t press it. It took me 30 minutes before I could finally get past the OK button.
