Comments on Drone Scanner for Android

★★★★☆ Restricted · Apr 29, 2026

App works fine, just have to give it permissions and a second for the phone to discover the aircraft. Just wish I could put it in imperial units.

★★★★★ Jeff Mccray · Apr 27, 2026

Works for my Roku module, I have yet to pick up any other quadcopters around my area, thinking of buying a separate receiver to pair with the app.

★★★★★ Alan Chan (JustAlan) · Aug 11, 2025

Works right out of the box, reliable scan for DJI drones and other remote ID modules.

★★★★★ Alexander May · Feb 28, 2026

This app has helped me find my lost drone once. And it has helped me stay compliant. Definitely a must-have for those flying expensive drones in the US.

★★☆☆☆ Cathal Ferris · Apr 16, 2026

For an app that only uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi listening, there's zero need for precise location permissions. Stating "Permission Denied" for Bluetooth permissions with approximate location is disingenuous at best. App doesn't need "precise" to work as stated - why farm and offboard that info if so?

★☆☆☆☆ Kobrakon · Jan 28, 2026

Doesn't work at all, tested it with my DJI Air 2S, and it didn't pick it up even tho it was right next to it and DJI reported that Remote ID was functioning

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Reiss · Feb 27, 2026

Haven't found a single drone. Even when I can see them with my eyes.
