Ratings and reviews

Could be a good app but has bugs/annoyances. 1. I tried the Fly Forward 20 inches. My Tello barely moved. I switched to metric units and this worked. 2. This is a major annoyance: Upon starting up the app, it is full screen with no Android buttons showing and no Android message bar across the top. So the drone parameters can be read across the top, and also the "Connect to Tello" button. As soon as I touch anywhere, it seems, the buttons and bar come back and the above items disappear.
