My drone is not in the best condition anymore overall don’t get this app. ### 5/5 — What drone is it *2024-07-11, version 1.1.1* I don’t know if the drone is little or big because I have a little drone next to me so is it big or little? ### 1/5 — The drone is terrible *2023-08-16, version 1.1.1* I got the drone for my birthday and when I went to use it it was so confusing . When I went to use it it went straight up and flew away I cloud not find it . ### 1/5 — App *2022-04-03, version 1.1.1* How do u connect the camera to the drone it has no directions except connect the craft wifi to the phone which is what I did and it just comes up as a blank screen ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-10-03, version 1.1.1* This thing broke almost instantly. It drives me insane and I can’t even get the camera to work. I hate this so much and getting that drone was a waste of money ### 1/5 — Test the drones before selling them *2021-06-07, version 1.1.1* I’m upset, I just wasted fifty dollars on a faulty drone that would not work. And, when I finally got it to work, it went up and then flew away, so when I tried getting it to stop flying, it kept going. They really need to test their drones before selling them to stores and then getting out to a new owner. Also make sure they respond to the controller and shuts down after the remote is turned off. ### 4/5 — If your looking for instructions read this *2021-05-17, version 1.1.1* Listen you probably bought a drone and came into this app if you’re trying to say that this app has no instructions well you’re wrong when you bought the drawer there should be a book a white one that says thunderbird go to page 5-9 for drone controlling (or probably something else) and 16-19 (make sure to read all I maybe got it wrong) and well I don’t have to explain. Be safe! ### 5/5 — Fix the camera *2021-05-16, version 1.1.1* The camera isn’t working please pretty please fix the camera ### 1/5 — N O NO NO NO NO NO *2021-05-07, version 1.1.1* It doesnt tell you how to use the app ### 4/5 — Please add a battery percentage. *2021-01-27, version 1.1.1* Honestly, this app is amazing. I love to go flying my drone with this app, and would recommend it. But, i feel like you guys could add a battery percentage for how much the battery is at. It would help a LOT!!! For example, if im flying my drone, and I have it out pretty far, and all of a sudden, BAM! My drone crashes because it emergency landed, and I didn’t know what the battery percentage was at. I would LOVE, to see this small feature in the future. I will also change my review to a 5 star review if I saw this. Anyway, thanks!! ## Frequently asked questions about Sky Rider Control ### What can I do with the Sky Rider Control app? This app allows you to control drones equipped with Wi-Fi cameras.
