About HELO TC

NOTE: This app requires either Griffin’s HELO TC, HELO TC Assault, or HELO TC Hawk Touch-Control Helicopter.

The HELO TC app transforms the Multi-Touch display of your Android device into a remote control for HELO TC.

The HELO TC and HELO TC Assault touch-controlled helicopters come complete with chopper and Flight Deck. The Flight Deck plugs into your Android device's headphone jack and translates your commands into infrared signals that beam to the helicopter.

Fly in either of two ways:
• Joystick: Use a virtual joystick to maneuver HELO TC.

• Motion: Tilt your Android device to move HELO TC forward, backward, and side to side.

Record and store up to three Flight Plans so you, or another pilot, can easily repeat a favorite flight pattern. Make up routes among the furniture, missions to fly, obstacles to avoid, goals to achieve, and replay them later with your friends.

The controls are intuitive and easy to learn. The helicopter's twin-rotor design makes for stable, controlled flight, so you can concentrate on having fun (and on getting the jump on family and co-workers).

For Galaxy s5 I really don't understand all the angry reviews. Granted, it took about 2 hours to get it all set up and figured out, but afterwords it was totally worth it. There were a few things I struggled with, and I thought I'd mention them. First, ya need battery's in the control. Put it in expert mode. Turn on airplane mode, volume up all the way. Charge the helicopter, and you really should be good. Give it a shot and plenty of time, its worth it!

Works OK can get it to fly. Would like to be able to set trim for all directions. Control of sideways flight would also be helpful.

Unusable app on Nexus 5. Screen is very small and it turns up volume on its own with an annoying beeping. Absolutely terrible app, the developers should be ashamed.

The software does work but it's so tiny you could only look at it on a watch that's how small the phone screen is on this program. The software is actually junk and needs a severe update for newer models of phones and being that it is a corporation that sells helicopters you would think that they would be able to get a programmer in there to write software updates for this package. Sorry guys you can do way better than this. This software is junk in my opinion and someone needs a rewrite of this software.

WTH? You guys can't fix this problem? You've made the helicopter useless. Note 4 Lollipop. ..

It'll only tutn the blades on. .not strong enough to lift off...so it'll just spin in a circle. .also..the control pad is very small on my phone. ..returning it for my money back for some headphones.....MAD! My daughter was really excited about this choppa...hurt her little heart

The controls aren't full screen on note 4. Makes it impossible to use... wtf.

N70%
by N####:

i hear it can be great on a galaxy s5 on my note4 the controls display is so small it is very very hard to use. (1.1" high 2.3" wide") hoping there is a fix for this and then it will get 4or5 stars. I've never had any other app use just a small fraction of my screen.

I charged the plan and ternd it on and it didn't work at all.age 10

N70%
by N####:

With only a 1" X 1.5" on-screen control interface with no option to resize OR zoom in either landscape or portrait, the app is completely unusable on any Note device. I find it incredibly hard to believe they can't add a "full screen" option or write the code that will do this automatically. A colossal oversight in my opinion.

Note 4. Sound keeps turning to the maximum with an annoying beeping sound gave up immediately since there is no way to keep it quiet. Even if I hold the volume button down it keeps going to the max very annoying. Also took up a small enough part of my screen to cover it with my thumb. Wish I could go negative stars.

Used to have a ton of fun with it but upgraded to the Galaxy S6 and it's not optimised for my device. The controls are miniscule. Any chance of a fix?

Control pad too small can't see any word, not scale to fits my note4 sreen may be later

D70%

The screen is miniaturized on my galaxy s7 edge. I would give it more stars if it's fixed to fit the full screen

Q70%
by Q####:

For those who said the helicopter does not take off, you are flying it in Beginner Mode, and the control won't let you use the full throttle, that is for people that have never piloted one of these RC Helicopters, it is not that easy. Go to setting and put the check mark in Expert option, then you'll be able to use all the engine power. Besides that, I have used the app in an LG G3 and in an Xperia SP, and my only complaint is that the controls in the app dont scale to bigger screens, Everything else, GOOD!

I turned this game on, and it started telling me to turn on airplane mode, which is weird for an app filed under, games. Upon entering the app, it raised my volume to max, I lowered it to 0 but it kept raising it to max and wouldn't stop, I pressed home and the loud ticking continued, I turned off the screen and it refused to turn on while the clicking happened, I had to open my phone, which is extremely hard on my phone, and had to pull out the battery. Is this game some sort of virus? I am not sure, but I do know the avast mobile protection found 3 problems that confused it so much that it forced another reboot after deleting it.

I have a Galaxy Note 4 and the controls are extremely small with the majority of the screen unusable with a grey background. This needs to be fixed asap...

Many people are having problems getting the app to work. I sorted it out and it turns out, that any type of sound modification on your phone such as Beats Audio or a DSP pack which changes the sound profile, will interfere with this app. I removed the DSP and everything works fine

Works on every device I've tried it on including nexus 5, galaxy nexus, and an old epic 4g.

K70%
by K####:

This app only utilizes about 1/4 of my screen, making the controls difficult to use. It needs to be set up so it automatically scales to the phone's screen. Other than that, works fine.
