Il problema è che manca Completamente un menu opzioni e il supporto al gamepad ( a mio avviso una grave mancanza) ### 2/5 — Non-realistic controls *2023-03-10* The joystick movements do not mirror real life drones. On a live drone when you let go of the throttle it stops rising. On this game the position of the joysticks stays the same when you let go. I was trying to use it as a training tool for my middle school students before they got their hands on the real thing. This one needs work. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2022-04-15, version 1.1* The flips won’t work and I can’t move it any north west south east on the joystick or it crashes. ### 4/5 — Update controls for controllers *2021-02-23, version 1.1* Good game, wish it supported controllers properly. The controls don’t make sense with my DualShock 4. Then it would be 5 star for me ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2021-02-16, version 1.1* Super choppy and slow on I pad air 4 ### 4/5 — Bad return to home. *2021-02-02, version 1.1* The return to hime is bad. ### 2/5 — Not really realistic at all *2021-01-07, version 1.1* I got this because I love drones but when I played it it’s not super realistic and the nano drone goes way too fast in this game ### 4/5 — Cool drone sim *2020-12-29, version 1.1* I think skyviper is a good drone game because it simulates all some types of drones realistically and can also give you an experience with drone flying.You can also get a feel of flying a drone if you have never had one.That is why I think skyviper is a good game. ### 3/5 — Scy viper *2020-12-26, version 1.1* Application pratique pour apprendre à contrôler un drone. ### 3/5 — Meilleur simulateur mais *2020-12-10, version 1.1* Dommage qu’avec un joystick externe style DualShock 4 n’est pas compatible ! ### 4/5 — Super mais manque de map *2020-06-14, version 1.1* Ce jeu est super mais c’est très dommage qu’il n’y ai que trois maps. ### 4/5 — Really fun *2019-07-26, version 1.1* Just like any other game it takes time to get good but when you learn the different stunts and flips other then the one touch stunt it's so much fun the only complaint is the graphics but like any other mobile game it's not terrible super fun and can't stop playing it 👍😅 ### 3/5 — Tricks don’t really work and weird throttle *2019-02-19* Whenever I do a trick the drone does not let me have any control and plumbers to the ground, I cant even throttle up to make it stop flying down. Also on all of the drones the way you control the throttle is weird and the first time you use each drone it gives you no throttle controls. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poteva essere il migliore simulatore *2025-11-15, version 1.1* Ho comprato un vostro prodotto. E ho scoperto questo gioco mi aspettavo meglio ma, legga molto facendo meno di 1 fps. Se lo migliorate modifico la recensione mettendola a 5 stelle ### 1/5 — Hard to fly, not realistic *2025-08-03* The controls are hard to use. To go up and down you must spam on a button a lot, which is not on any real drone. Some levels are near impossible to complete because they are in pure darkness and you have no way to know where you are going. The first few levels are ok, though. ### 1/5 — Unusably slow *2023-01-16, version 1.1* Only getting 1 frame/sec on iPhone 13 ### 1/5 — So glitchy *2022-03-16* Had for ten seconds and then deleted it ### 1/5 — Sky Viper *2021-02-06, version 1.1* Doesn’t work. No drone to fly. ### 1/5 — Wow *2020-11-11, version 1.1* This is not a good game DO NOT PLAY! It should be banned ### 1/5 — The challenges are absolutely terrible and have no controls *2020-10-09* First of all I’d like to say that it’s a good game overall in free play comes to challenges and you use the micro mini drone there are no controls at all whatsoever if you feel right at just the slightest still praying to the other side of the field for that I’m giving you a four star review. ### 1/5 — Need to update app *2017-12-28, version 1.1* Have tried a handful of times and I am unable to get the app to load on my 6s. Disappointing ### 1/5 — Good for practice, but not much to do. *2016-12-30, version 1.1* I got this app because I wanted some kind of practice before I fly the three sky vipers I have. It's not realistic to any of the controllers in real life, but it does help with making a cautious drone pilot. ### 1/5 — Junk *2016-12-26, version 1.1* A peace of junk app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite keep the work up good job *2022-04-17* Brings memories in my life because I used to play this in 2017 ### 5/5 — Finally one that acts pretty realistic *2022-01-05* Been looking for a simulator that mimicked my dji habits...most of the ones out there are either super sensitive, dont act like reality, are paid only, or made for fpv... this fits my need... thank you! ### 5/5 — The game I played before *2021-12-27* I played this before and it’s so cool. Love the game so much I wish the drones were real. ### 5/5 — Surprised *2020-12-27, version 1.1* I didn’t trust that it would be good because there was no review, but it’s actually better then other simulator apps. I recommend it. It’s not as in the reality, but it’s closer then other apps I’ve tried ### 5/5 — Pretty Good *2020-11-11, version 1.1* The best mobile drone simulator I have tried. For a great RC Plane Sim, RC Plane 3 is really good. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2020-01-29, version 1.1* Thanks ### 5/5 — T *2019-12-30* I have 3 sky viper drones and I like them because they are so easy to fly!!!!! They are a lot of fun.😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👏 great job making them. ### 5/5 — Needs more maps *2019-01-15* This is a great little app for practicing. Just wish it had more maps and things to maneuver around ### 5/5 — This app shows me how good I am on camera drones *2019-01-01, version 1.1* This app may be unrealistic, but it teaches you how to handle a drone. I’m kinda better at flying a camera drone than flying a drone without a camera.The problem is that I cannot or buy a real sky viper because my Mom won’t let me afford one, yet a real video drone sounds fun to me. And any time I need help flying my LUMI drone, I can use the app ### 5/5 — Could be better *2018-11-06, version 1.1* I really like this app and play a lot but I only play on pro video because it is the only one on normal controls I would really like to see more areas to fly in I would really appreciate a city maybe I know it is a lot but I am really in to drones and would love some more maps or more normal and life like controls not like a altitude button!
