FreeFlight Pro

I bought the parrot bebop drone at the local walmart here and took it home all excited to try it out. So I read the instructions on how to pair it a few times and thought it was pretty easy to do but sadly no. I turned the paperweight on and waited a few minutes for it to boot up and pre paired to do the easy pairing and it was easy to pair to the galaxy note 2. Says "connectef". Then I downloaded the app called freeflight pro and installed it. When I opened the app up it said "connecting" but never connected. I even rebooted both the phone and the paperweight. I would recomend this fine piece of equipment for a light weight paperweight

It works well every time; it has not crashed nor suddenly stopped working like the DJI GO app or the Litchi app. After Parrot replaced the Free Flight 3, the map pre-loading feature disappeared entirety. Furthermore, I can no longer connect my Bebop 2 with the old Black Edition Skycontroller with the new Free Flight Pro. I Hope that Parrot will fix these bugs by the coming spring.

The app has very hard time connecting to the drone (Bebop) even when Android wifi is explicitly connected to the drone hot spot. On the ground this is taking many retries, but when connection is lost in the air this is unacceptable - the wifi reconnects, but the app does not and the drone cannot be controlled, your only hope is the automaric return to home.

Very pleased, have bebop1 and black skycontroller . Take note connect to skycontroller first, if can't connect skycontroller to your smartphone or tablet is because skycontroller is on 5ghz network. Hook skycontroller to TV via HDMI, go-to midi management and change skycontroller wifi to 2.4ghz, any channel. Connect to skycontroller first, then open free flight pro, bebop will connect. Mine connect before app open, fly without my tablet if wanted. Awesomeness

Worst app ever! Using this with bebop, bebop 2 and sumo spider on a couple of different phones and it's a miracle if it connects! Wifi is on but the app will not see the drone. Useless! Also the audacity to ask 15 quid for the maps feature and then another 15 for the follow me... Shame on you,

When I download the app from the playstore ff3 downloads instead of ff pro like the icon shows. I open the app and its ff3 and does not work since it was replaced by the pro version. The freeflight section only plays a video... the Acer a500 is running ics. Tried everything to update but says its utd but its ff3 instead of pro... Pro works fine on my galaxy s4 phone...

I bought the bebop drone and absolutely love it. Everything in the app is pretty much self explanatory, but the only issue I have which is not that big of a concern to me is it does take a little time to connect your device via the drone through wifi. Other than that it's great

Or good luck getting anything working... And even once you get all working the apps pretty slow to connect. Other then that generally it's not too bad. Useful info for those struggling to connect if you've updated everything and its still not working restarted your phone/tablet or clear cache...

I have tried follow me a number of times and almost always ends up with s7 edge rebooting. This causes bebop 2 to return to home and hover. Not good if you have used follow me to move away from the home location. Be very careful with follow me.

Videos say that once you connect your device to the skycontroller and open the FFP app that it should connect automatically to the drone, but thats not the case. Can anyone give a solution to my problem?

When connecting to a bebop 2, app connects to drone then disconnects because it does not have a internet connection the 6p will reassociate back to your home router for internet access. Solution go-to wifi setting and forget the home router settings and then go to advanced options on the 6p for wifi setting of your bebop 2 and tell the 6p to ignore internet not connected setting. Also, I've heard to disable cellular data stream. Google's trying to help too much. Trying to help the guy that xmas ruined.

Need follow me to work on tablets. Why invest 500 for something you can't operate on all platforms. I am returning the BeBop 2 and investing in a DJI phantom. Disappointed

How can you still sell the bebop 1 and sky controller as a pack and don't have an app to connect them!!! Bought for £300 3 days ago and took back as thought it was faulty. Got a replacement and still the sky controller wouldn't connect to the bebop!!!!! Hours spent wasted watching tutorial videos and then came on here to see the app doesn't support them! How are you allowed to still sell these when theirs no way of using them!!!!!!!!!

Got for my son for Xmas. His favorite present. Can't find Flight 3 like the video says to do. Got flight pro. Connected via wifi, but controller won't see the drone. My son is crying. $200 for this crap?!?!?!

Worked great for a while. Then it would not connect to drone. The drone will come up but will not connect or will disappear from screen. The drone does connect to Wifi on device and is constant. Maybe offer a rollback on last update. Free flight also brings up menu for Disco and I have a Bebop.

I love this product but am giving it a one star because I used the Events Management feature and it caused my BB2 to drop out of the sky at 100m! There is a thread concerning this incident on the forum. Concerning the drone it is amazingly robust and suffered a cracked label on the nose cone as the only visible damage. I am still putting the drone through tests but it appears to be fine. I will give a 5 star once the Free Flight Software is updated with a patch for this glitch.

Update: I can now connect both Skycontroller 1 and Bebop 2 with the latest update of FFP. It was clearly a bug within the app that have created all this mishap. I hope this won't happen again or there isn't another bug with this update. I do thank the devs for the fix. Thank you!!

I can no longer really control my drone. Congrats, you have made a decent drone useless.can you just give me the the old app back, you know, the one that worked.

It says I need to update to stream the live video but when I try to update it says I'm completely updated. Very frustrating. UPDATE: extremely frustrated. Will not connect. 1 star. UPDATE: The issues were my fault. All I had to do was update the skycontroller. App works excellent. No issues at all. Updated to 5 stars.

Well I got this drone from Amazon and I was excited because I had been practicing my drone flying skills and I was ready to move up into a higher level. This freaking app will not connect to my drone at all. Please fix it before I inevitably return the drone.

the app is cool for controls and video but I bought the flight planner for a additional 20.00 I took some 8 min flights no problem well today was a bad day sent it on a 3 min Flight within eye sight around my block and it decided it wanted to land 500 ft before it's take off position well that landed it on the edge of the street and a bus ran it right over as soon as it touched down. I tried to take control of the drone while it was on the way down but no response it had over 50 % of battery still left.

Set up quickly and easily and flies well. Navigation of settings in the app could be a lot better and the instructions are a bit sketchy. I do object to in app purchasing for features though. That means I'm going to have to fork out another thirty quid when I change my phone! Surely you could just sell a key that would be future proof.

Great drone so far. No trouble yet besides that it takes a bit to connect with my phone. Also please lower the price of the skycontroller. I'm not willing to pay $600 for an additional controll. 200 is more reasonable.

Needs to capture audio from either phone or tablet as from app. I'm can use sound recorder separately but that's a pain. Please create an audio option that is synced, video and pics are great, needs "follow me mode" as well, how do i rotate camera ?

Terrible app, bought in app purchase of flight plan($20!) only to have the bebop fly away on it's own while ignoring return to home AND geofence settings! Drone is gone and parrot refused to help!

Wifi won't connect on my Nexus 6p. No workarounds mentioned in reviews here work, and I couldn't find anything useful about this issue on the Parrot forums. Wouldn't surprise me if cause was incompatibility with Android 7.x (Nougat); if so the developers of this app need to update it as this version of the OS will only become more common over the next year. I'll happily amend my review here once an update fixes the wifi issue.

Whole system works well together but the mobile version of the app does a very bad job of telling you how good or if at all GPS lock has been obtained

App worked great until a couple weeks ago. I use a MOGA controller and Gear VR to run in first person view and since an update the controller no longer works after you switch it to FPV. The controller does still work perfect when not in FPV. If that were fixed this app would get 5 stars hands down.

I see many say this app did not connect or work when it connected. I connected it to Skycontroller and Bebop 2. It took about 4 minutes to connect the first time. Had to have both Skycontroller and Bebop both on to connect. Did software update first that might have helped.

Bought a bebop for my son, app won't let FPV or live stream video connect with wifi same time as skycontroller. You can only use one or other. I've been flying drones long before they became poplar and this is hands down the worst program I've seen. Parrott has good tech hardware but software is terrible. Take my advice on this one, build your own or buy DJI you will have a lot less hassel. The 40$ drones program better than the bebop does with this APP. Since this is my first Parrot I'm rating it a 1

Can't connect any of these apps with my drone that my son got me for Christmas. I've tried back and forth with Pro and Mini and they're both pieces of s***

App will not connect to skycontroller 2 using a Samsung Galaxy A5. Waste of time. Tried and tablet and works fine. Reported it to parrot..

Just bought this and have to say I'm not happy. Would like a refund. Just bought it 6 hrs ago

The original offered more options for the BB1. It seems we are being slowly phased out. Bring back the original for us BB1 owners. Not supporting the skycontroller for follow me is ludicrous; phone WiFi reach is about 200' on a good day :(

To those complaining I am guessing you guys don't know how to read and follow instructions. I have been using this software for my bebop 2 since December last year and it's been working just as fine as my bebop 2. I love it

I can't access any media since I opened my Drone. Will give 5 stars when someone tells me how to get to my pics and videos

DON'T BUY FLIGHT PLAN: Pro flight isn't too bad in itself these days, but the "Flight Plan" in-app purchase at the crazy price of £14.99 is a total waste of money. It's a good idea in principle but the real world execution is miles from the mark. EG: Programmed it to fly up to a local landmark called Kepples column. It was supposed to orbit the column twice (as a point of interest)and then return to it's start point. What actually happened is that it flew to an area 30 metres to the right of the column and performed it's orbit there, consequently missing the column and the point of interest by quite a wide margin. Useless.

My Pixel XL on Android 7.1.1 seems to be not supported...... 1. once of the most power Android phones out at the moment 2. no reason for it not to work 3. Visual tracking is not enabled... it should be.

I have been trying for weeks to get my bebop to connect but it will not show up the way it shows I have updated the drone with a USB and still not work

Well finally figured this out. For people trying to connect the skycontroller 1 to the bebop 1 you will have to update the firmware on the controller. I was having serious connection issues until I did this and boom everything seems to come together and connect flawlessly. Using s6 edge + and freeflight pro. Try it guys.
