Not Good (Won’t Recommend)
So at the beginning I got everything set up, and all was well. However, later I couldn’t connect with the controller. It was okay though since you can fly with the app. More time passes. Then it refused to takeoff. Another day I tried again and it failed again. Then, the next day I tried one last time, and it failed.
Don’t buy although for some people it may be good. I’d recommend the DJI Mini SE or a Tello.

Can’t get camera to work
I have tried to get camera to work and connect but no luck
Drone poopoo
My drone got stuck in a tall tree because it started bugging and kept flying left into a tree
No work
Drone didn’t even work.
Junk
Save your money!! This is total cheap crap!!
Camera
How do I get the camera to work?????
Pretty good
This works for me. For those of you who can’t connect with the drone, you have to connect it to a different WiFi network.
Mostly Operates as Described.
EDITED*
This is an edited review—upgraded to 4 stars. And I have never given 5 stars. There just has never been a perfect app in my experience.
There is only one thing wrong with this app as far as I can tell—several relevant instructions are missing. The creator needs to ask for help writing an instruction manual. Being experienced in technical writing, I offer my services.
There’s still a couple of important elements missing in my learning of how to operate the VIVITAR, but one main point was remedied by another user—connecting your smart phone’s WiFi to receive the drone’s video feed. In your smart phone’s WiFi settings, treat the drones video feed like any other WiFi connection.
I haven’t seen that mentioned in the manufacturer’s included manual. Maybe there’s a page missing, I don’t know, but that’s a pretty significant miss.
Two issues I have re occurring:
1) The GPS mode seems to fail intermittently. Can’t get the back lights to go blue when they are supposed to. This may be due to my home’s location. We have poor cell phone connection without our house’s WiFi connection which is via satellite. Not knowing how the GPS transmits or receives, I can’t triage the issue. Also, I have no antenna rating gear.
*2) I often cannot get the camera to work. Seeing the live action through the monitor is the main reason I bought this unit. Have owned it for one year and have only flown it 4 times. I would enjoy inspecting the wood stove’s chimney regularly.

Same problem. Try to open camera folder and it opens and then instantly closes. Drone works great. Could have more flight time for 5 hours of charge. It will get better range than it says on manual. This one gets out farther than EYE CAN SEE.
Unable to see
Unable to see photos and video

Bad HD
I Just got the drone and the camera quality was bad and there were words in China
Worthless frustration
Obviously not intended for U.S. market. Scant instructions, never could get video after several hours of trying. Complete failure.
Useless
Camera does not sync to the phone at all and the app is not entirely in English. I sold Vivitar products 20 years ago and they were absolute garbage but I figured they might have fixed their quality issues over the last 20 years. Guess not.
Stay Away
Not friendly. You get what you pay for. Unresponsive, not a lot of options. Stay Away
It just stoped.
When I finished calibrating my drone the app game me a window that says “Your drone is ready to fly” and beneath it is a okay button that closes the window but the button was unresponsive FIX!
How do I get this in the English language?
Why does the app come up in Chinese language??? Can’t use the app because I can’t read it!!!!!!
Video
If you open your WiFi settings Pick the AEROVIEW for your connection
Parameters can’t be adjusted
This app is good for preflight calibration and viewing the video. Setting the parameters is a joke
