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 clearest difference is review sentiment: DJI Virtual Flight at 34% against Robotics's 0%. DJI Virtual Flight also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 8). Robotics's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Robotics holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DJI Virtual Flight has 1.7K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of DJI Virtual Flight'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.
