Comments on Drone Scanner (legacy) for Android

★★★★★ Airhead Bit · Nov 10, 2024
On a Galaxy S24 Ultra the Wi-Fi doesn't work, Bluetooth does, Galaxy Note 10+ works BUT I'm flying a DJI drone, their serial numbers (all DJI Drone I own) start with 1581, Drone Scanner tells me my drone is a NewBeeDrone Model Bee ID yet the 1 (ONE) NewBeeDrone in the FAA database start with 2AC7Z .... I can see where they can get Drone Manufacture and model from the RID using the FAA data, but somewhere they goofed. After 3 days of trying to confirm my 'newly' Part 107 Registered work
★★★★☆ Pratik Jadhav · Sep 8, 2024
We can see which drones are flying in my area.....?
★★★★★ roy hemion · Nov 16, 2024
Downloaded.turned on my drone tracking device .ran the app. Gave blue tooth and Wi-Fi permissions. Running android on Google 8pro. The app immediately showed my location and my device location as well as my registration serial number works like a charm.no issues. Thank you for a simple bit effective tracking app.if my plane should run away I have a pretty good shot of finding it .
★★★★★ Joe Sova · Dec 27, 2024
It worked after about 3 minutes, lots of info to display. My personnel info is "unknown". Strange, I want to see what the cops see. How do I enable full info?
★☆☆☆☆ Trent Sanden · Dec 25, 2025
Does not detect my DJI or any other drone around me. I hade my Wi-Fi on and it still does not detect my DJI drone. Yes the Wi-Fi was on. I had my drone up for over 20 minutes, and it did not detect anything.
★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Meyers · Jan 23, 2026
Doesn't work at all have a new 2026 Samsung Galaxy S25+, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled. My DJI mini 4 pro is broadcasting remote ID I can see it listed on my phone Wi-Fi networks available. This app doesn't detect anything.
★☆☆☆☆ Rich James · Apr 23, 2025
There are 2 drones flying your vicinity and this thing doesn't see either one of them. It does not work.
