DJI Fly 4+

My DJI Mavic Mini is my first “DJI” product and compared to the “premium” product I previously used from a competitor, it’s a much better product.

The same can be said of the “DJI Fly” application, which is well-written, informative, easy to use and seems to work without issue... There is however, room for improvement.

For example, I’d love to see the ability to pull data from ADB-B systems and display notifications or warnings in DJI Fly (e.g. “Aircraft may be approaching your area, exercise caution!”)... There are third-party websites and applications which are able to display this information (e.g. Plane Finder and Flightradar24), so why not DJI Fly?

Another feature which is missing is the ability to plot a flight plan using waypoints, and then have one’s drone follow this flight plan... There is no such functionality, which is disappointing, because such functionality would allow users to focus on the cinematography / photography, without needing to worry about piloting one’s drone.

I have seen cheaper drones that include flight plans and waypoints, so it is certainly a strange decision to not include such functionality...

Hopefully DJI will take notice of this feedback and implement this functionality in the future, because I feel that adding the suggestions above would make DJI Fly near-perfect.

I really like the layout of the fly menu which is the screen you see when you are actually flying the drone. But there are a few problems with the editing. The first one is that I can not re-edit a project once I have saved and gone out of it, it comes up with ‘original file damaged, delete file?’ And then makes me delete it. I am pretty sure this is a bug in the app because I can edit perfectly fine with the same clips in other programs. I have looked up online and have found many other people with the same problem, please fix this, DJI. The other missing thing in the editing program is that there is no ‘undo’ button. So say if you accidentally deleted a clip and want to get it back, or made the wrong cut, there is no way to undo. Overall without these bugs it would be an amazing app. Please fix this

The app is terrible. The terms and conditions are riddled with spelling and language errors. The app tends to drop connection and it also places touch buttons behind other touch buttons (or the swipe bar at the bottom of IOS apps). There’s lots of bugs in the app and after downloading the app, creating an account etc. all automated emails from DJI are only in Mandarin Chinese and not English. It’s a bizarre experience that you would expect from a small start up.
