Sync for DJI is the first app in AppStore that lets you easily download and share captured media from your DJI device directly to Instagram, Facebook, or simply save it to Camera Roll. Sync for DJI runs equally well even in the background. Support of 4K, H.265, DNG files, etc. - a high bar that beats DJI Go 4 possibilities. All you need is to open the app after the flight, select new footage, and tap ‘Share’ or ‘Download.’ That's it! Sync for DJI will do this in the background while you use other apps or even if you go on to preview your media on the connected DJI drone or Osmo! Forget about PC or Mac with an SD-card reader for downloads. You can now do this with our advanced app! Made by the die-hard fans of DJI production, Sync for DJI is a number one app for any DJI device, even for Osmo Pocket (Osmo Pocket support coming soon).

MAIN FEATURES: TRIM BEFORE DOWNLOAD - we have the technology to trim parts of video directly from device memory.

Apply for each file or in a bunch! MAKE HYPERLAPSE - convert any timed shot into stabilized(!) hyperlapse. Completely with your MOBILE phone(no PC)! STITCH AND SHARE PANORAMAS - share your beautiful 180° & 360° panoramas straight on Facebook! P.S. Currently Mavic Pro, Phantom 3/4, Spark and Osmo devices do not supply panorama files due to SDK bug. FAST AND EASY SHARING - Share your best photos and videos directly from the DJI device.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FreeFlight 6 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FreeFlight 6 has 1.7K ratings behind it against 299, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Sync for DJI's written reviews are positive against 52% of FreeFlight 6's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sync for DJI ships an update every 4 weeks, FreeFlight 6 monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
