Solid App, room for improvement
11/24/2020

CircusMcGurkus
I've used many drone apps. This one is pretty smooth and reliable for what it does. It's missing a couple of key subtle touches that would really take it up a notch such as: showing the number of GPS satellites connected on the flight screen, not starting every flight in auto record mode (media controls are okay, but not fully clear in app), and more. If not done, would be good to bench mark the parrot and dji app and get deeper user input. I want the American made drone app to be as world class as the drone itself.And what's up with the crazy storage usage on my phone? I'm at 4gb, and find others online with the same problem, but cannot find any media stored on my device, and no option to explore and clean this up when a drone isn't connected. Let my memory go!

Amazing autonomy, (how to fix) update issues

The Skydio 2 is amazing, super easy to fly and a lot of fun (just made sure you have a fast enough SD card - their website tells you what it needs).We had a lot of frustration before the first flight trying and failing to update over WiFi, but then found how to force cellular updates and it worked perfectly. Just go to Info (bottom of the screen) -> Settings -> Cellular Updates -> Always.

For anyone planning on buying this drone be very cautious. Skydio promotes this drone has being exceptional and tracking and avoiding objects. I can tell you from experience and two skydio crashes thats this drone is garbage. The only way this drone works properly is in a super wide open field and with very bright lighting. Camera quality is not very good and the drone loses connection every second. While regaining connection you have absolutely no control of the drone, do there is no way of you stopping the drone from hitting a branch a powerline. DJI had been out for way longer and believe their drones are way better and actually cheaper. The skydio is $1000 just the drone. With all the accessories you are easily looking at $1600 to $1700 for the basic package. There are lots of drones out there that are less expensive and do a better job than the skydio.

The way the opposite of, if I would like to preview a video, the Skydio app saves it locally. Then, if I’d like to access that video when I’m not connected to the drone, from Photos for example, I cannot. The video files are saved in a private directories so that I can preview them. If I try to save them locally on my phone, it takes quite a bit of time to save each clip. Why not allow users to either access the local videos from the photos app directly, or copy them from the Skydio app directories to photos quickly. Exporting new clips, takes too long.
