Ratings and reviews

The app itself is very good. The reason I only give it three stars is the unscrupulous way it is advertise. The app is fairly expensive at $29.99, but wait if you want mission planning and Geotaging you have to pay an additional $30.00. They don't tell you this in the video or the published literature. I would have to say that is dirty business practice to lure you in and then punch you in the gut. SidePilot for Apple is just as good, not quit as pretty, but it sells for $12.99 and works really

Recent update broke the app. Cannot see video feed anymore and there is no option to close the app from inside the app. Do not buy.

I had a question (that was answered on the website) but Kelly was very quick to respond on a weekend night with excellent guidance. The supporting web page, Solex mobile and Solex desktop app are all actively being developed. Not sure why there are comments treating this like it's unsupported or obsolete - it's not. Also works for more than just the 3DR Solo! Thanks again Kelly and great work!
