Stopped working

Worked great now it says needs update but there is no update and it won’t open. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and same outcome, needs update

Low value functionality

This app has potential to be usable for more than just LAANC authorizations. Who would want to fly back and forth or do an automated mission without triggering the camera? The waypoint functions just are simply waypoints. If the app had just a bit more control over camera settings and triggering images, this would be a powerful mapping app. But just the way it is now, it is unusable without manually triggering, something which nobody wants to do for automated flights. I teach drone technology in a community college, and we map with Pix4D capture since it actually triggers the camera. Honestly it would be an easy fix for this app which would make it way more usable. For now, my class will not be learning about this app.

Clunky and troublesome

I’m just trying to submit a simple LAANC request but this app requires so many hoops to jump through to create a flight plan within the app, name everything, there are too
many steps and I keep getting error messages. Additionally the input methods are just kind of clunky and not real user friendly. Aloft/air control is still the better app by far.

Response from developer

Hi It's_byron, Thank you for trying out SkyGrid Flight Control, and for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience. A major update of the app is in the works. We are investing in changes to the user experience, which include reducing the number of steps needed to create a flight plan and submit it for LAANC approval. We recommend using SkyGrid Flight Control in conjunction with a cellular data connection (like 4G). A strong network connection is recommended to maintain a consistent experience. Please be aware of any data limitations associated with the connection. We really appreciate your feedback! Thank you, The SkyGrid Team

Cannot sign up and no response from support

This has been going on a while. App seems totally broken. Numerous requests to support re application errors have simply gone unanswered. I cannot even create an account. Strange for a company that continues to advertise (YouTube).
