Samsung S25 Ultra. My rfid fell off during flight. This app pinpoint the location after I searched for an hour.
★★★★★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
★★★★★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.
