It took me a while to make it work properly. I had trouble throwing the plane right, had to try different phones to find one that had a steady connection. But it's worth the effort, it flies beautifully. Uri from the support team really helped me a lot to make everything work.

Incredibly unreliable. Have tried it now on 3 phones (motorola, samsung, oneplus), have updated the firmware on the drone, and it still only rarely connects. On the occasions it does connect, within a few seconds it then disconnects. Basically a terribly executed app that makes the drone completely useless.

Maybe early access? Anyway, lg g4 doesn't work, pixel XL doesn't work. Motorola X Pure does work. Best of luck fixing it, until then I have a non functioning unit. UPDATED now that cardboard mode works. Will update after retesting new version on XL and G4.

Runs way too slow on Nexus 5X. The app runs well on the LG G5, though.

Unusable. Horrible connection issues on a Nexus 6P phone running the most up to date available OS. Installed the latest firmware and the App crashes all the time, won't connect to the drone and the VR functionality is completely absent. Clearly the developer is focused on iOS. I'd stay away from this product on Android until they decide to take it seriously.

I spend more time trying to connect than actually flying, and while flying I'm always hoping that it won't disconnect to quickly (it always does eventually after 4-5 mins even if the plane is literally in my hand and not in flight)

When it works it's great fun, but trying to get it to work is more then a little annoying. WiFi will connect, the app will load but nothing works, as if it has no connection to the plane. Turning thing on and off many times & eventualy it will work, may be. Durning flight it can randiumly seemly louse connection & then crash. For these 2 issues this is out in a field with nothing but other fields around, no other sources of interference etc. Hopefully this is down to buggy software, & will be fixed soon.

At first I tried to fly it in the park it didn't fly ???? . Then I went to a RC field . I was amazed to see , it flies so well .At that time I understood that it was because other wifi houses were interupting the wifi network ????????????????????

I don't know what all the negative comments are about, it works just fine with my s8. There have been a couple dropped connections, but because I do software dev myself, I know to expect and work around quirks like these for iot devices and such. Been using the fpv for 3 months now.
