Written reviews complicate that: 0% of PK01 FLY's written reviews are positive against 27% of X DRONE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PK01 FLY ships an update every 14 months, X DRONE every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
