### 3/5 — Dji rc n1

*2026-07-15, version 1.4.0*

Program kumandamı görmüyor lütfen yardımcı olur musunuz

### 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.

### 4/5 — Realism

*2026-04-23, version 1.3.6*

Compared to dji sim, realism is mid, but the crash physics are fire🔥🔥

### 3/5 — RC-N3 does not work

*2026-03-23, version 1.3.6*

### 3/5 — Bom, mas não conecta no RC-N3

*2026-03-02, version 1.3.6*

### 1/5 — No coins

*2026-08-03, version 1.4.0*

I had no coins and I couldn’t buy them because I didn’t want to lose money so I’m can’t get the coins anymore because I can’t do free fight

### 1/5 — Es mu malasa

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.0*

Muy mala app lo que pasa es que te dan pocas fichas con la razon que compres

### 1/5 — Hút máu,suck blood

*2026-07-10, version 1.4.0*

Đang bay tước quyền điều khiển ko điều khiển được yêu cầu mua xu để chơi. In flight, control is revoked, unable to control, requires purchase of coins to play

### 1/5 — Sinnlos

*2026-07-02, version 1.4.0*

Controller geht nicht. Start geht nicht. Was soll das.

### 1/5 — Rc n3 kumandayı tanımıyor

Rc n3 kumandayı tanımıyor

### 1/5 — Ggkwj

2oynadım para istiyor*********

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-07, version 1.3.6*

Doesn’t feel like the real thing

### 1/5 — Insomma

*2026-04-04, version 1.3.6*

Ok per imparare siccome funziona con il controller ma puoi usarlo solo una volta e poi ti chiede di comprare le monete.

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2026-03-28, version 1.3.6*

This app was good until it wanted me to buy it. There are coins that you use for each flight and flight time does not last long because of this. Please remove the transactions for coins so we can just play the game. I live in a geo zone and downloaded this to entertain me in between drone trips, but this is just as restrictive as a geo zone.

### 1/5 — Не работает!!!

*2026-03-25, version 1.3.6*

Полное Г не работает!

### 5/5 — Ver1.4.0 Islandステージ

*2026-06-24, version 1.4.0*

いつも楽しく利用させて頂いております。
iPad Air2,iPad mini4(iPadOS15.8.8)にて、
v1.4.0のIslandステージで、画面の表示が正常にされないバグがあります。
ターゲット等のUI以外は、unityのロゴと地表の一部のみ表示され、まともに遊べません。
古い機体で恐縮ですが、ご対応何卒よろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — Dji

*2026-04-12, version 1.3.6*

Very helpful. Can use the controller to practice

### 5/5 — Drone

*2026-03-10, version 1.3.6*

This is the best app you can fly for lots of time without your drone dying out of battery and crashing. But the bad thing is it says there is infinite coins but I don’t know how to get it.

### 5/5 — Simulatore eccezionale

*2026-02-21, version 1.3.6*

Ho imparato molto usando quest app per giocare col mio drone e devo dire che mi è servita davvero molto per fare pratica in quanto non avevo grande esperienza a riguardo! Molto consigliata

### 5/5 — Vraiment super mais

*2026-01-22, version 1.3.5*

Idéal pour s’entraîner les jours pluvieux et ça fait une vraie différence de pouvoir s’entraîner 7j/7. Cependant je ne comprends pas trop le  système de pièces 😅
Les 500 pièces sont à 2.99€ et également les 150 sont aux mêmes prix. 
Ça serait vraiment cool de faire un d’abonnement pour les joueurs intensif

### 5/5 — Muy interesante

*2025-12-17, version 1.3.5*

Para practicar esta excelente

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-12-09, version 1.3.5*

Nice

### 5/5 — No detecta control n3

*2025-11-20, version 1.3.4*

No detecta control n3

### 5/5 — Simulador compatible con control remoto dji Mini 2

*2025-08-20, version 1.3.2*

Probé varios simuladores incluyendo el de dji, pero este es el único que funciona con el control remoto de mi dron haciendo la experiencia mucho más útil. El de la marca de mi dron me pedía tener los googles especiales así que solo lo puedo usar con mi cel. Simudrone al principio no es de paga pero solo te da 10 vuelos gratis. Si lo quieres probar te recomiendo que empieces por los vuelos libres para que puedas practicar por un buen rato aprovechando cada vuelo al máximo, después si decides pagarlo le puedes recargar vuelos y más juegos. Creo que vale mucho la pena!!

### 5/5 — ghh

*2025-07-19, version 1.3.2*
