This app is used to control and program the drone and other robots built using the Robotics: Smart Machines – 5-in-1 Buildable Drone with HD Camera kit from Thames & Kosmos. Build a high-tech, flying camera drone and four other camera-enabled robotic models. Control your robots using the remote-control interface in this app, which you can install on your tablet or smartphone, or write programs for your drone using an easy, visual programming language in this app. The onboard HD camera lets you capture photos and video from the moving robots. The robotic camera car allows you to get zooming and panning shots, depending on how you angle the camera. A 360-degree camera allows you to see all around you and a turntable camera lets you take a rotating shot. The hands-free camera mounting lets you take photos by simply saying “photo.” Four electric motors, a central controller unit, and an included lithium battery, as well as over one hundred building pieces, make it all possible. Learn about how drones fly and how robotic devices can be used to get the perfect shot every time with this innovative engineering kit! ***** Questions or suggestions for improvements: https://thamesandkosmos.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new *****

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Robotics at 4.3 against WiFi UAV's 2.9. Robotics also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). WiFi UAV's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and ratings volume (487 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Robotics holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WiFi UAV has 487 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of WiFi UAV's written reviews are positive against 0% of Robotics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
