ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FlyGuys Capture holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Pilot has 174 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of DJI Pilot's written reviews are positive against 0% of FlyGuys Capture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DJI Pilot ships an update every 5 months, FlyGuys Capture monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
