Blueye Observer
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Blueye Observer app lets you view the live video feed from a Blueye Underwater Drone. The app is a companion to the Blueye App used to control the drone. This simplified app only displays the video feed and key telemetry data from the drone. It is intended to allow multiple users to connect to the drone and view the video stream at the same time. The app shows telemetry data from the drone, such as depth, heading, orientation, water temperature, battery level, and a full HD 1080p/30fps video stream.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Blueye Observer at every 2 months against Flydrone's every 23 months. Flydrone's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
