Analyzes the drone's live video feed and applies computer vision technology to track a face or a person. Allows Tello to follow a person, a face, or an arbitrary object, or to fly a circle around an object. Works with the Ryze Tello EDU, Tello Iron Man Edition, and standard Tello drone. Totally calm weather is required for outdoor use! Supports only videos and no photos because Tello firmware has a bug that causes loss of image stabilization when taking photos.

(Great option for kids when they panic ) The device is not intended for professionals who want to adjust camera exposure and set up complicated options, so don't bother about reviews complaining about this. The drone is just for beginners who are willing to experience the first step of aerial photography and it is more than enough for this purpose . Special thanks for the developer ! ### 4/5 — great app *2023-07-15* this app is quite good but i had to do some troubleshooting when i first got it (anyone who had the same issue what worked for me is forgetting the tello wi-fi connection and on the app reconnecting to it ) ### 5/5 — Very Interesting *2023-01-22* I would like to use this app, When I bought TELLO at one year ago. This app has various features. I will use private video from sky view. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2022-07-25* Won’t connect to iPhone 12 The standard Tello app does connect every time. Reloaded apps, updates firmware etc, just churns over and does zilch. ### 4/5 — One of the 3 best apps for a DJI/Ryze Tello out there. *2022-02-13* I’ve had my Tello for a little over a year now and by itself it’s a pretty impressive little drone. I’d say the Tello is to mini drones what the DJI Spark is to the small drones. The Follow Me app completes the drone. It gives the operator the functions of a bigger, more expensive gps drone for a 1/3 off the price using the drones own VPS software and sensors to accomplish the same functions as a more expensive quad. Understandably, this isn’t a Mavic Pro or an Autel Nano but a bird 1/4 of the price with really well written software. If you buy a Tello, and I recommend everyone should have one in their drone hanger, then you need to download the Tello me app as well as the Tello FPV to turn this sleeper drone into a super star. The Tello is always the first drone in the air wherever I go. Guaranteed in flight in under 30 seconds and barring any wind above 7-10 mph it’ll hold its own with the big boys drone toys costing much more. ### 5/5 — Ist ihr Geld wert! *2021-08-05* Die App ist wirklich klasse und man bekommt tolle Videos hin, macht echt Spaß und ist erstaunlich. Man kann sich auch von vorne filmen lassen und die Drohne vor sich „herschieben“, ist dann ähnlich wie mit einem Anhänger rückwärts zu fahren. Die Videos haben nur wie gewohnt durch das Direktstreaming nicht dir beste Qualität und die Verfolgung klappt nur bis ca. 10-15km/h, also praktisch dem normalen Mode, der Turbo Mode bis 30km/h kann hier nicht verwendet werden. Aber das sind halt alles Einschränkungen der Technik, ich bin froh das ich den FollowMe Mode hab, denn bei einer DJI mini gibts den nicht und dort würde ich ihn auch nicht nachrüsten wollen da bei einem Crash dann die teure Drohne kaputt wär - denn Abstandssensoren haben beide nicht. ### 5/5 — Video kaydetme *2021-06-20, version 1.3.0* Programla takip moduna geçiyorum durdurduğumda videolar gözükmüyor cihaz iphone 7 galerimde yok videolar ### 5/5 — Tello *2021-06-07* Best app ever ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2021-04-08* Tried this app on a couple of devices after paying for it. Will not connect to my Tello. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-03-01* Works just as well as expected. The track object could be a bit better, the app loses the object if the object moves too fast, but I don’t actually ever need to track an object. Also, the app could have some more instructions inbuilt. The track person works the best, and it has never lost me while I moved around. Overall, I think this app is amazing and it is totally worth the money. ## Frequently asked questions about TelloMe ### What does the TelloMe app do?
