### 5/5 — Loved it

*2026-06-05*

Great app

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-05-28*

1.0.19. Elrs joystick works again! still no audio, camera fov resets after few seconds of flying to default.

**Developer response:** We're not certain as to why you have no audio, this is not a commonly reported problem. We may be able to identify the issue if you open a ticket via the support page of our website. We would be interested to know the device on which you are experiencing this particular issue.

The FOV is not altered except by the user in menus and through input. The camera resetting is likely due to the "Camera FOV" button being bound in controller setup. The sim might be reading input from the assigned axis/button that is changing the FOV. Try resetting your controller, reassigning sticks and make sure not to assign an axis or button to the camera FOV action. If you continue to have issues with FOV resetting I would encourage you to open a ticket via the support page of our website and we can provide assistance.

### 5/5 — Game updated

*2026-05-07*

Thanks for updating it

### 1/5 — Trash since the update

*2026-04-06*

Since the update, the wifi controllers don‘t connect reliably. Sometimes it takes 3 restarts to connect, then when you exit a map, you have to reconnect… wtf? 
When the controller is connected no stick movement is shown in the visualization so you have to guess for 5 minutes how to set a new one up… mind you everything worked in the previous version

The version before was fine, why trash it? Is there any bug hunting done before update deployment? Doesn’t seem like it. So 10$ lost after all.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had trouble with the last update (1.0.16), the bug slipped through testing. There was no change to how the wifi controller worked between updates. We added capability for bluetooth control which was interfering. We have fixed the wifi controller disconnecting when switching between scenery and main menu in the version released today (1.0.17). Instructions for bluetooth connection will be published on the support page of our website in the coming weeks.

### 5/5 — Update broke this

*2026-04-04*

I used to love it. 5 stars. Now it just continually resets the drone to start. So sad.

**Developer response:** This is not a bug that we have had reported anywhere else and we're interested in diagnosing the issue. Please open a ticket via the support page on our website, we'd love to know the finer details so that we can find and fix the problem.

### 3/5 — Game updated

*2026-03-30*

Thanks for updating it

### 3/5 — Looks a bit dated

*2026-03-25*

While graphics are not my main concern in a drone sim, velocidrone looks a bit dated, compared to other options on iOS. What might be interesting to a lot of pilots on iOS, the BetaFPV LiteRadio 2 SIM controller works on my iPad and velocidrone in Xbox-mode!

### 5/5 — Controller issues

*2026-03-05*

Radiomaster Pocket: Modelselect has to be at „Pocket“!!!
this fixed everthing. Playing with iphone-hotspot wifi controller. Every other Simulation didn‘t needed this model switch.
Great physics. Complicated setup.

### 5/5 — Amazing simulator!

*2026-02-02, version 1.0.11*

I have VelociDrone on my PC and decided to get the app because it’s more portable. Reading the reviews made me hesitant but they really don’t know what they’re doing if they’re struggling to update their controllers with the latest version of ELRS 😭 You can configure your controller in the app if it’s got ELRS 2.4GHz wifi capability after checking the box in the app to allow a wifi controller. I’m pleased with the quality and functionality of the game especially for the price. Works fine on my iPhone 15 and even better on my iPad mini 5th gen! I can’t wait to try it on my newer iPad, as once you pay for the app you have it on your apple account for any devices. 

They have a youtube video on how to connect the controller it’s not hard guys. The bad reviews are from people that are lacking technical knowledge.

Wonderful app, exceeded expectations!

### 1/5 — No good this sim

*2026-01-25, version 1.0.11*

No WiFi no sim to practice.
