Instructions are a little cryptic, but with enough effort I got most of it. After calibrate and start the camera comes up. Hooks up to the drone just fine, and camera control works just fine, however it will not stay in master mode. Jumps to flight mode immediately, which I do not want. Have not found a solution...if there is one.

Just my initial review to help people struggling to connect - I can confirm (as others have) that I couldn't get it working until I went into "airplane mode" on the phone, which basically means Bluetooth and Mobile data OFF, and then put wi-fi on and connect to the drone's "hotspot" either through your phone's settings or in the app itself (doesn't seem to matter). Until I did that it would connect to the drone but there would be no actual interaction - no image from the camera, no controls did anything. As to judgment on the rest of the app, I'll reserve it for now till I've played more. On my first go it took off fine with the automated "Take-off/Landing" toggle icon but wouldn't land when I pressed it again, just hovered there. Was just practicing indoors but the video recorded fine, and played back on the phone no problem, and seemed very good quality despite being via wi-fi - and it was realtime, none of the minute's delay people have talked about.

At the moment I give it a 2 stars. It has taking me several days of trying but I can get to the point where I detect and connect my phone to the drone's wifi and it shows its connected in the app.. I then calibrate which appears to be successful. I then hit Start the control screen appears for a second and then goes white and I'm back to the Calibration screen. So far nothing I have done actually allows me to control the drone with this app. Tried some of the other suggestions to make it work with no luck. I know my phone is connecting to the drone because when I press calibrate the lights on the drone flash quickly for a few seconds and then stop. But when I press Start what I described above happens. Finally, some success. Could not get to work on my cell phone (a Blackberry with android operating system, see above for problem. But I was able to get it work with an android tablet I bought from Amazon. Turn on the drone went to the Settings in the tablet, turned on Airplane mode then connected the wifi to the drone wifi (make sure GPS or location is on) then open the app, Calibrate, the lights on my drone flicker then hit start and I could see through the front camera. Took a while to figure out to switch the camera (read the instruction helped). Was able to take both video and still from either camera. Seem to work best without turning on the controller. Tablet was a MediaTek KT107 with Android 7.
