Ratings and reviews

The instructions are pretty basic, it's taken some time to figure some of it out. ** re MAPs - you have to TURN OFF WIFI to get them to load. Otherwise my phone was assuming the drone was a data source and failed to load. Open the app with wifi off, open the app, zoom WAY out and pan to your location, then zoom back in to load map detail. Fortunately it does remember map data (at least when I tried it in airplane mode) after so this is a one time thing for each place you fly. Turn wifi back on any fly per usual. -1 for lag issues although I'm not 100% sure if that's the apps fault or something else. Now that maps work I'm happy with it. The drone itself is great. It's the app that the Potensic D80 drone is designed for, I haven't found any other options. It works mostly but does have some lag. 'Follow me' and 'orbit' functions are only controllable from the app, not the controller. Update - I'm using a samsung s7 running 8.0.0 (oreo)

Generally works good for the Potensic D80, My only complaint is the app doesn't cache satellite map data. It would be perfect otherwise. You need to first load the map up when connected to the internet, then connect to the quadcopter WiFi signal. After that, the map works as expected. So another thing. When recording a video, you need to remember to stop the recording, or the video will not be saved.

DO NOT GRANT ROOT ACCESS TO THIS APP! It came up in Chinese language and the top right symbol switches to English. It asks for root access and takes you to Settings, which you can cancel out of. Turn on WiFi and connect to the drone (after inserting the battery). Once connected, the app works fine but I've read you need a 5G capable phone. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S10
