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

Sorry, but it's definitely not possible for this app or any app to cause your Solo to overheat. There is no way that can happen. If you did a firmware upgrade to the Solo and that caused it to overheat, that's the firmware and not the app. The app just makes it possible to do the firmware upgrade.

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.

Is there any chance there could be a problem with the connection from the camera? There have been no changes to video streaming and it works well in testing.

What’s new

. Fix for motor test running automatically in Vehicles screen when battery is low
