How it works
Anyone can quickly identify what drones are flying in the sky nearby. Direct Remote ID is a feature that transmits live flight data via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to the surrounding area. Drone manufacturers use various technologies to build an identification feature in new drones. Pilots of older drones are using add-on devices, enabling them to become digitally visible. With hardware on your smartphone, Drone Scanner can receive and read broadcasted data.

Ratings and reviews

The app works great, however I'd like to have the ability to save the trace showing exactly what your drone's path was. So far the only way I can find to do so is to take a screenshot. Also, you loose that trace if you turn off the transponder. I'd love to have the ability to "save" before closing the app. Partly because if Karen accuses you of flying over her you have a way of showing you didn't.

I had this app open, and my drone turned on using the DJI Fly app. The DJI Fly app said clear to take off, which meant it was broadcasting the ID,and this app showed zero drones. I tried using the app iontwo different devices at the same time and it showed zero drones. Then I tried it on just one device separate from the DJI Fly app by itself and it still showed zero drones in the area. The drone was no more than 5 feet away. What good is it if it doesn't work. I'm surprised it has a 2.8 rate.

Hangs when starting the app, causing the need to kill it and restart it several times. This happens with both android 10 and 14.
