Das ist auch für die Leute. Die die Drohne Z3 Pro benutzen. ### 4/5 — Funziona *2025-04-06, version 1.4.9* Questa app funziona, chi dice che non funziona semplicemente non è capace ad attivarla perché ci sono procedimento da fare anche la camera si vedere basta darsi una sveglia ### 2/5 — It used to work, now it doesn’t. *2025-01-20, version 1.4.9* I select my drone from the options and it takes me to the controls but it just doesn’t connect. And it’s disappointing because without it I can’t see out the camera. It worked when I first downloaded it but not anymore. ### 2/5 — It wouldn’t even connect to my drone it’s garbage monster *2024-12-26, version 1.4.9* Hi ### 2/5 — Fehlendes Gerät *2024-12-25, version 1.4.9* Ich habe die Z3 pro Drohne zum Weinachten bekommen ich wollte die Kamera mit meinem Handy die Drohne verbinden aber die Z3 pro Drohne gab es nicht in der App ### 3/5 — Drone good but control Doesn’t work with latest iOS *2024-11-24, version 1.4.9* Having tried with iPhone 14, we finally got it to work on old version iPad. Camera not amazing but good enough for price. Once working it is worth the price but a fiddle to get there. ### 4/5 — YASS But one thing *2023-12-28, version 1.4.8* This is a very good app for the drone but it really wants you to look around to find how to use it and you will have to go to settings to connect and use to see gps at first I couldn’t bring it to me last time I lost it one my roof.. but it is a good app to see how your drone is going and looking at ### 2/5 — App works but it is a mix of English and Chinese *2023-12-27, version 1.4.8* Some of the pop ups are English messages with Chinese Yes/No buttons. A little frustrating to have to guess the first time what you are answering but not insurmountable. The most frustrating is that videos will not save to my Photos app. I select the video, click the almost hidden icon to download (it is halfway cutoff by the notch at the top of the phone), click the Chinese answer for yes I want to save to photos, and I get a grey bar at the bottom of the screen that simply says “error”. ### 2/5 — App needs updating for iOS 17.2.1 *2023-12-25, version 1.4.8* Drone works great but the app doesn’t work for either controlling or camera connection (with a Syma Z4). Worked on an iPhone running iOS 16.1.1. On the older device it runs smoothly but low score due to not being compatible with latest OS. Will update if changes in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to drone *2026-01-13, version 1.5.1* It is not compatible with an iPhone 13 iOS 26 for some reason. ### 1/5 — Don't ever download or buy *2025-06-09, version 1.4.9* I would give it 0 stars but you can't. So the camera is horrible so glitchy.the drone Dies in like 35 min I would of never bought but it was I Christmas gift so I still of course like it but I'm just saying I would have never bought. but one thing I do like is that you can take pictures and videos of the drone flying. And another thing I don't like is that on first day the battery broke and good thing it comes with another battery but my dad did run it into a roof so that might have also destroyed it.we were at my grandma's when my dad crashed it into a roof 😂 ### 1/5 — Never got a connection *2025-02-27, version 1.4.9* Bought this a few years ago and never got it to work. We pulled it out again and we could never get it to connect to Wi-Fi. Never get any help. Bought it from Costco had it too long to take it back instructions are very minimal and help is not there. It never even shows up on Wi-Fi. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2024-10-06, version 1.4.9* Lost my drone and doesn’t do anything. Lags and is super complicated. Get better app. ### 1/5 — No wifi connection to phone *2024-09-04, version 1.4.9* Worked a couple years ago on older iPhone but won’t connect to iPhone 15 pro. No wifi signal found and I am technical and have tried everything. ### 1/5 — Do not get this app *2024-08-25, version 1.4.9* The app does not work at all when you first go into the app all it is is a controller that you already get with the drone. The camera doesn’t work and all you can do is take a photo of the in app controller. ### 1/5 — Fuj *2024-07-03, version 1.4.9* Aplikace nefunguje. ### 1/5 — Muy mala app *2024-02-13, version 1.4.8* No pude conectar mi dron porque ni siquiera aparece la red de internet ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-12-24, version 1.4.8* Complete waste of money - the Christmas gift was really disappointing: no camera and the app was totally useless. The flying of the drone was ok with the remote but the lack of camera (which is fitted but doesn’t work on z4w models - it says on the website that it doesn’t which is pretty awful to let you know once you’ve bought it) takes half the fun out of it. ### 1/5 — Non si collega *2023-09-18, version 1.4.7* Non va e non si collega al telefono ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DRON *2025-10-05, version 1.5.0* Всё работает отлично разобраться легко спасибо разработчику 👍 ### 5/5 — Работает *2025-09-01, version 1.5.0* Все работает. Там надо включить коптер сначала, дождаться пока загорятся светодиоды. Потом зайти на телефоне в настройки WiFi и найти устройство "FPV"Подключиться к нему и принять шифрование, если появится уведомление. Только после этого можно будет зайти в приложение и оно сразу автоматически должно подключиться к камере. Пожалуйста! ### 5/5 — Super footage *2025-08-21, version 1.5.0* Super footage all you need to do is go to settings on your device and go to Wi-fi and press the correct WiFi connection and wait for a minute and go to SYMA FLY and press the on button and you will fly. ### 5/5 — Dear *2025-01-31, version 1.4.9* 开发人员解决这个问题。 我想用相机飞行。 我连接到我的无人机（z3）。 那里什么也没有。 你不仅帮不了我，也帮不了我国家的很多人。 ### 5/5 — Drone *2024-07-10, version 1.4.9* I love flying my SYMA x300 drone, but the camera won’t connect to the app on my phone. It does instantly connect on my iPad app though. If they can fix that, it would be great. I am in touch with customer service about this and they’re trying to help with the situation. I hope it’s fixed soon. It’s still not fixed as of last year, but I hope it’s fixed soon. It will not connect drone to iPhones, only iPads. Just a heads up. Update: went to Apple due to an issue I was having on my phone. They did a hard reset on my phone and that helped a lot. I can now see live feed and everything on my phone. I’m going to play with other app features tomorrow. So, if this app doesn’t work on your phone, back your phone up and go to Apple to get a hard reset. ### 5/5 — Drone *2024-07-05* I love flying my SYMA x300 drone, but the camera won’t connect to the app on my phone.
