### 2/5 — Keine Leben

*2026-05-25, version 1.4.0*

Man hat so wie ich nur wenn ich das Spiel gerade erst angefangen zu spielen hat man nur ein Leben

### 4/5 — Not compatible with DJI RCN3

*2026-05-21, version 1.4.0*

This is a great app. Subscribed on Android. However it doesn’t work with my DJI RCN3 on my iOS. Any issue?

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-05-19, version 1.4.0*

As is, it’s worth the money it costs, but it could be soooooo much better with some super minor tweaks.
 
It’s not the graphics. Sure they could use some work, but honestly it’s fine….. the sim is more about the maneuvering than it is about the visuals.
 
Stopping is slightly slower to respond kid of like it has a delay, causing crashes when my regular drone would not have…. But frankly, that may have something to do with the obstacle avoidance sensors not being coded….. and that’s fine, because you shouldn’t actually depend on those anyway. No star reduction on that, just kinda advisory for anyone who pushes those sensors as hard as I do.

 
The real problem is that the drone doesn’t respond quite right to the sticks. 
The yaw and lift settings are a lot slower but the travel speed in every mode is a lot faster than any of the DJI (Mavic mini 3, Air 3s, Mavic pro 2 and a Mavic Air 2) drones I have when set to the same speed settings. It’s just not quite balanced right. 
Would have been 4 stars even with that if it had not been 3 years since the basic stick functionality was in place. That balance should be better by now.
 
I would like to see some functionality added for more than what seems like a racing simulator….. add some photo missions, some orbit video missions, a follow the moving target mission, basic maneuver training essentially….. it should be as easy as adding waypoints and tracking gimbal position at the waypoint. Don’t even need new maps, the existing apps are fine for it. So that lost the second star due to the years it’s been out….. if the dev responds and tells me I’m just not far enough in to the list to have hit those yet, I’ll happily add that 4th star back.

### 1/5 — Rc n3 kumandayı tanımıyor
