### 3/5 — Drone app

*2025-06-20, version 3.2.1*

To anyone who is having trouble connecting the Video on your phone try this !! 

Connect to drone Wi-Fi , step two,hit connect on your phone on the gps app, it should read firmware on the top right corner off the app, if you do not see firmware it will not connect. I had a hard time connecting with my phones but my wife phone connected with no problem. What I did to fix that issue was turn off my cellular data on my phone and for some reason that works when I try to connect either of my phones.

### 3/5 — Not connecting

*2024-10-16, version 3.1.1*

Not connected to app unless in airplane mode. Defeats purpose of allowing cellular data when first opening the app

### 1/5 — app sucks

*2024-08-21, version 3.0.3*

it won’t let turn my location on

### 1/5 — Need an update asap

*2024-08-07, version 3.0.1*

Unable to contact drone.

### 1/5 — It’s terrible

*2024-07-21, version 3.0.0*

Every time I go to connect the drone to the app it has never worked but it can take some hits tho that’s all I’m going to give it. Just don’t buy it at all it’s terrible

### 1/5 — Con IOS 15 non riesco a farla funzionare

*2024-05-07*

Con IOS 15 non riesco a farla funzionare , si blocca e non riesco a fare foto e tantomeno a pilotare il drone. 
Se possibile chiedo assistenza o un’alternativa

### 1/5 — Não

*2024-05-04*

Ele não funciona no iOS 17 e não pega no iPhone 13 Pro Max

### 1/5 — NO BUY

*2024-04-29, version 2.9.3*

The app is not ok. Is not connecting with the drone. Very hard to connect with the controller either. Big waste of time and money!

### 1/5 — Why is the app getting worse???

*2024-04-21, version 2.9.3*

I used to be able to at least connect to my drone to be able to unlock it and fly it. Now I can’t even do that anymore. I can see it and connect on WiFi, but unable to connect on the app. I don’t understand why it wasn’t a option from the beginning to just take off with the remote like other drones. Also why you don’t mention that fact. It’s technically not one key takeoff, if you have go through all that downloading, connecting, unlocking.

### 1/5 — Are you ever going to update the app?

*2024-03-13, version 2.9.0*

Takeoff button doesn’t initiate takeoff and the app cuts video feed after 100 ft. Nowhere near the 500m you claim. UPDATE THE APP

### 1/5 — Drone Wi-Fi signal does not connect to app.

### 3/5 — CONNECTIVITY ISSUE RESOLVED

*2023-12-01, version 2.7.6*

So after much research there’s a guy on YouTube who found a work around the app not connecting to the drone. Simple solution!!
 Just turn your cellular data off (too much interference. Keep cellular data off while using app), close the app, connect to drone wifi and try again. It worked for me. 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Does what it needs to do

*2024-12-25, version 3.1.2*

Read the title

### 5/5 — Almacenaje foto/video

*2024-09-30*

Todo ok, estaría muy bien tener una opción de configuración para que solo grabara las fotos y vídeos en la tarjeta de memoria y no en el móvil, ya que si el móvil está lleno, y la tarjeta vacía, no puedes grabar nada estando la tarjeta con espacio de almacenaje.

### 5/5 — iPhone

*2023-08-03*

Con la nuova versione funzione anche su iPhone ✌️

### 5/5 — Bien

*2021-05-14*

L’application subit régulièrement des mises à jours... Clean 🙂

### 5/5 — Сойдёт

Приложение хорошее)
Но некоторые функции не работают(

### 5/5 — Awesome drone and app

*2020-11-14*

I really enjoy playing with my drone and learning new moves, the controller and app work great together

### 4/5 — Flys when it wants to

*2024-05-12, version 2.9.5*

It sometimes flys and sometimes doesn’t

### 4/5 — KF 102

*2023-04-23*

KF 102 - It could have a more powerful antenna on the radio control. Loses wifi signal very easily... It improved a little by putting the control antenna out, attached to the false antenna and placing a support for the cell phone on top of the radio.

### 4/5 — Offline option

*2023-02-05*

Could have an offline option.  This would make it easier for the beginner to understand the details of running some functions.

### 4/5 — Have to pair through Wi-Fi

*2022-12-25, version 2.4.9*

Took me about an hour to figure out you have to connect to the drone through the Wi-Fi. Then you can connect through the app. As a beginner I had no clue that’s how it worked so some info would have been helpful.
