Good drone good app

I’ve had this drawn for years in this app for years and never made a review, but truthfully, this is still an amazing drone and a great app to go along with it. I do wish the range was farther for the drone, even when using the beacon in conjunction with the controller, the only thing that sucks is that you can no longer go buy this room, this could very well be the last review of this app who knows but for what it’s worth I’m on the 16 Pro Max whenever I use this drone plugged into the controller with the beacon also on in my pocket because when everything is on and connected, the entire experience is a whole is always better. But yeah, they no longer sell to consumers. They only have contracts with government I do believe and military. Which is very unfortunate because this was by far the best of its time.
