This wonderful app is a great tool for teaching Math Science technology and Engineering. Now with the additional camera function it adds to the cool functionality. Make sure you have good illumination for your Tello drone so that it will navigate reliably and also ensure that you have the latest firmware for your drone. I've had a lot of success using this with a Tello drone. Kudos to the drone blocks team!
★★★★★
As soon as they have "video record" implemented I will set a 5! (That is apparently in the works) Works really nicely
★★★★★
Paired with Drone Blocks curriculum, this app is awesome for learning the basics of coding. Has a few awesome features for a block coding app
★★☆☆☆
Horrible! Will cause a flyaway with the tello on even the simplest commands such as" takeoff, rise 2in, hover 2 seconds, land. Drone just takes off and drifts away. Abort function doesn't work, app constantly crashes. Needs a manual controller/emergency function, so you can take over control in an event such as this... if the app even worked and didn't crash that is.
★★☆☆☆
Not well programmed. Most of the time, the mission never launches after repeatedly pressing the Launch button. The Abort Mission button does not disappear after pressing it. Worse issue is the Connect To Tello button never connects to the Tello's Wi-Fi.
★★☆☆☆
Didn't work on my HTC One M9. It wouldn't control the drone at all. Whenever I tried to abort mission the app would crash.
★★☆☆☆
Great idea. But tello drone is ignoring the code (other than "take off")
