### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-22, version 1.2*

The design is good and it is easy to control the drone. Lots of fun

### 1/5 — What I think of the design

*2026-04-30, version 1.2*

So after seeing all the reviews it sounds like this app is trash total trash saying that people don’t have any control it would fly all by itself or automatically yeah I saw a lot of bad reviews one star there is only one review I saw with five stars but I am starting to get along with this now to it’s not about the app so I got batteries for the controller for the drone and I’m walking up my stairs, holding the joystick swing in my arm and then right as I get to the 10th step The left joystick snaps out of place and now it’s broken so I think the design for the controller is bad cause there’s no way that should’ve snapped.I used to have another drone and I carried it the exact same way it did not snap so the design is complete trash. also, I bought this app off of my iPad so I hope it’s not harder

### 4/5 — All around great

*2026-04-19, version 1.2*

Works great but camera quality could be improved

### 1/5 — Buns

*2026-03-28, version 1.2*

Ts sucks it’s a WiFi instead Bluetooth for some reason sand it barely works it also hit all the buttons on my phone when I put it in

### 3/5 — Flying is not good

*2026-01-04, version 1.2*

I had to keep throttle to keep it from moving backwards on its own when there is no input from me and would go towards trees

### 1/5 — Bad camera distance

*2025-12-28, version 1.2*

I had one of these, but the camera range is dogcrap. When I fly it just from my house to my garage, the camera glitches out as well with the drone. I don’t recommend it.

### 2/5 — 🥲

*2025-12-26, version 1.2*

App will not allow users to download/save the drone’s videos or photos to camera roll.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2025-12-25, version 1.2*

App doesn’t work and it is a waste of your time  but the item itself worked decently

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-08-15, version 1.2*

Good drone, good app, yet the app screen is small and won’t go full screen unless you are using an iPhone. Just a fact about the connection though is that it will connect and have clear imagery until you get the drone about 30 yards out in any direction.

### 5/5 — You can fly it

*2025-06-06, version 1.2*

You can fly it so that’s what I’m worried about
