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. So, you download only nice pieces drastically reducing needed time and battery(especially for long 4K videos). BACKGROUND SUPPORT - use other apps while Sync for DJI downloads media for you (unlike DJI Go 4 and DJI Go); CUSTOM PHOTO/VIDEO SUPPORT - 4K, 2.7K, H.265, DNG, and others… COLOR PRESETS - choose from 25+ special color presets for your aerial photos. 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.

The clearest difference is rating: Mini Drone Guide & Flight Log at 4.7 against Sync for DJI's 4.1. Mini Drone Guide & Flight Log also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15). Sync for DJI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 83 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mini Drone Guide & Flight Log holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sync for DJI has 299 ratings behind it against 3, 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 50% of Mini Drone Guide & Flight Log'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, Mini Drone Guide & Flight Log every 83 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
