Android 7.0 (Nougat) is now fully supported and Mambo+MiniCam support is implemented as well!

AR.Pro 3 provides for remote control capabilities of Parrot Bebop V1, V2, and numerous other Parrot drones. It exposes many of the same functions as Parrot’s own Freeflight application but implements a unique user experience and allows further customization of your drone.

Key Features (this list is always expanding):

* Parrot Flypad / PS3 / PS4 / NVidia Shield / iPega / MOGA gamepad support
* Intuitive Piloting HUD
* Customized Wi-Fi settings including MAC filtering, WPA2 and hidden SSID
* Input Device Deadzone / Sensitivity tuning
* Combined Yaw / Roll Mixing
* Google / Bing / Here / arcGIS / etc Map Management
* Directed Flight plans
* Track Me Mode
* Waypoint Assisted flight plans
* MAVLINK TM Autonomous Flight Planner and Monitor
* Firmware Management for Bebop and Disco drones
* Full Sky Controller V1 and V2 Integration
* Remote Media Management (includes Flight Data and PNG files)
* Google Cardboard (VR) Mode
* Head Controlled Camera Panning
* Manual Connection options
* Minidrone including Mambo+MiniCam support
* Mambo accessories (claw + gun) support
* Experimental Disco support

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING TO YOUR MAMBO+MINICAM w/ Flypad:

Start AR.Pro 3 and stay in the Discovery activity.
Power on your Flypad and wait for its light to go solid green.
If you go into the AR.Pro 3 Settings activity, you’ll find a header for managing the flypad axes and button mappings.
Return to (or stay in the Discovery activity).
Power on your Mambo+MiniCam
AR.Pro 3 may prompt you asking if you wish to connect to the Mambo via Bluetooth. Answer NO.
After 30-60 seconds the Mambo’s Wi-Fi SSID will show up in your Wi-Fi network list pulldown.
Select the Mambo Wi-Fi network from the list once it appears.
Now back at the Discovery activity, wait 15-30 seconds for AR.Pro 3 to connect to your Mambo’s Wi-Fi.
Once connected (Settings gears no longer turning) you can enter AR.Pro 3’s Piloting activity.
If the video stream doesn’t show immediately (it’s black) it is because the MiniCam went into low power mode.
Launch / Takeoff and you’ll find the video stream starts up (if it is not already visible).

I’ll be working on button / axes mappings when the Flypad is connected directly to the Mambo in the coming weeks. Documentation updates are also underway.

AR.Pro 3 will never offer in-app purchases. Once you have purchased AR.Pro 3 you will benefit from all future enhancements without ever having to buy any additional (addon) features / functions.

Let me start by saying I'm new to drones. Santa left a Bebop 2 under our tree for me. I'm learning how to control and fly the drone before I even consider follow me and or the map mode. After the last update to FFP, I lost what little faith I had with it and started looking for something else to use with my Bebop 2. I found AR.Pro 3 and purchased it (first time I bought anything from Play Store). Today I used it for the first time. WOW! What a difference between FFP and AR.Pro. I use a Samsung tab S2 on android 7 as my controller. I love the camera control and the joysticks not moving all over the screen. I love that I was able to download the user manual before I purchased the software. A newbie to drones would be better off with AR.Pro than FFP. I will uninstall FFP and use AR.Pro only. To the developer, thanks.????

At first I had issues with android picking a default app for my sky controller 2, Shell M. Shrader helped me solve my problem the same day. Great app, better developers. Not once have I regretted paying for this app. Tons of included features. The app also let's you use custom controllers and recognizes PS3 controllers... If you have root control over your device you can create the perfect mobile "short-range" controller for vacation and travel via Bluetooth PlayStation controller and your device. Enjoy

Z70%
by Z####:

For anyone experiencing a fall out of the sky - this is caused by Firmware 4.3.x and 4.4.x and is happening in FreeFlight Pro as well. Parrot need to fix it, but it's not the fault of AR.Pro!

Had problems connecting my phone to the app. Turns out my android phone has a bad USB port. Used app a few times and like it so far.

Thank you so much for the update to Android 7.I have already given it 4 ⭐. As soon as I have tested it I will most likely give it 5 ⭐.

Does the latest update now work on Nougat? If it does my rating goes back to 5 like when I was still on Marshmallow.

I have only my Bebop 2 only for about 3 weeks now. And after having another drone Q500, Parrot Customer services is top notch! And this app I'm use to it each time I fly,. But thanks to Shelly and answering my questions with quick response. But I have been waiting for you to live up to your promise for imperial version over a year. And yes I expect that for my money, to answer your question.

Twice now your app has caused the my bebop2 to cut the engines and drop to the ground, on its own. I did not touch the emergency button either time, both times were mid flight. Both times broke the central cross. This damn thing is $55 each break and twice now the sole reason was your damn app. Just now was mid flight approx 40 feet in air, was in the middle of a left turn when bam falls to the ground and destroys the central cross. I am so mad, I literally last night just swapped the new central cross from the previous app fault. Was less than 5 min into flight when your damn app did it again. This is unbelievable and I demand you make it right. I ate the cost of the last central cross but I demand that you replace this one. I also want a refund of this app. I am a software developer as well and know what it's like to cause others damages due to a software defect. And as a developer, when something I build does malfunction and cause damages I feel great responsibility for that. Make this right, sir. Jkozlow0 @ gmail Response to developers comment: Such a lame response- you either don't care whatsoever or you're just stupid- I'm really unsure which

Awesome. I havn't tried others but this is as technical as I might develop to use or just simple also. But.. I can't find the pics I took on my note 5. How do I make the pics go into a folder in "gallery"? Would also be nice to have a button for picture taking on main screen.

Like many users of this app, its awesome, but recently while giving a demo to some friends I suffered several (5) app crashes and the cardboard feature was not responding whatsoever. There also was a sudden pull to the right I did not command which scared the heck out of me. The Bbop 2 was high enough so it didn't collide into anything. Would give it a 5 star rating so please help me regain all the confidence this app truly deserves. Thanks DMC, Using Moga Hero Power, Samsung S5.

App keeps crashing after about a minute of flight time, tried uninstalling and reinstalling I have even reset my Bebop. Would like a refund but sure that will never happen, would not recommend this app to anyone unfortunately. Should have purchased Free flight pro waypoint map instead. Very disappointed.

Haven't been able to use once. Every time the Drone connects the app freezes and crashes. Contacted developer, said there is a known bug in the version of Android I'm using. I would like a refund.

V70%
by V####:

It's an awesome app overall, but it lacks support for my controller. The controller will work about 50 percent of the time and even when it does, it is very inconsistent and laggy with lots of delay. I am using a Gamesir wired controller. I will give the app 5 star as soon as this is fixed. Thanks!

When first purchased app was amazing. Now app crashes a few mins after take off, bebop will continue last command, only way to get control back is force stop and reconnect, hopefully before drone is out of reach. Have lost 1 drone already, thankfully Parrot replaced at no cost. Have email several times, but never get a response. If your looking to lose or crash your drone this apps is the one to do it????????????

by I####:

I like it but with the track me mode, should the drone follow me or just look at me? If follow, how do I get it you do that? I use an htc m8 with android 6 on bebop 2. Also, can you add orbit mode?

by Y####:

Hi Shell, Thank you for the amazing program for my Bebop 1, works just perfect with my old android 4.3 GSM. BUT with my new Motorola moto G4 plus (android 7) it crashes after one or two minutes. Other people has pointed out the same problem so I believe it is clearly an android version problem. I hope you will be solving this problem with your next version.

Hi Shell, I've went for some flights with bebop 2 using your app ar pro 3. There are 2 issue I encountered. 1) Track me are way out. Once click on 'track me' mode, the drone will move near to me causing out of view or even right above me. Which obviously I'm out of 'sight' too. 2) RTH function not working. Half half chance for it to work. When it doens't, the drone will stay in the air till low battery and drop! Mere foot away from water disaster... Is there patch or or something for the software? Thanks

Thanks Shell for not bothering to email me back as promised but thanks for the email telling me track me is way off and not reliable. If I knew this before I bought it I would have stayed well away from this app. Track me doesn't work, couldn't turn it off, had no control of drone which hit a tree. I should sue you for damage to 2 rotors! Anyway, keep up the good work and don't forget to let potential buyers know that track me doesn't work. People, spend that extra money and buy follow me from Free flight pro...works every time!

App will freeze constantly and the drone will remain the the last state it was at. Unreliable at best and i had tried multiple times. Please fix or refund. Have to manually catch or crash the drone to get it to stop. Gs7

The first time I used this app. It worked for about a minute or two, crashed, then when I was able to regain control of the drone it lost connection and went straight into a tree. Return home didn't work, and I can't find a button for trackme.

I bought it. It locks up after 1 minute on my s7 running Android 7 EVERY TIME. I and others mentioned this in support forum for it and have been completely ignored. This appears to be abandoned. It should be pulled from the play store if the developer has disappeared and it doesn't run on the current OS. nearly lost my Bebop with the app
