Comments on HS GPS V5 for Android

★★★★☆ Justin De La Cruz · Dec 27, 2025

App has worked perfectly 99% of the time. Only issue I have is the discounting with the radio controller. Still have got in to max distance I think its 1600 ft . But max, heyth is 330 ft dose that np. Mite be the fact there nothing in the antenna on the radio controller. Took it apart and nothing even inside the thing u flip up. The antenna stop inside the controller by the fake antenna u flip up . that's mite be the issue. But most everything works. How would u fix the antenna issue?

I have both an HS 175D & an HS 175G drone. Both relatively new. I have found that the 175D flies without the screen timing out. But the 175G the screen times out and goes dark unless I reset that to 30 minutes, and then when I'm done I forget that it's still on. I also dislike that I can't pick as to where my videos or pictures are being saved. I can't seam to get out of Beginner's mode, I need to fly higher and farther than 70 feet!

★★★★☆ Mason Beckwith · Jun 4, 2024

It's a very good app with many settings and has decent camera quality. I just was really hoping that the vr mode would actually work. It needs to be more spherical to work in vr.

Trying to connect to the holy stone app cannot find holy stone Wi-Fi on my connected devices!

Got the drone for Xmas 24. It flies great, stable, nimble, gps, homing, 2 speeds. I just can't keep a live camera feed to my phone. I'm all connected the correct way, I fully understand who everything works. But again I can keep a live camera feed it last 3 seconds, if I go to gallery and back out I get 3 seconds. Dissatisfied ultimately due to this. It's a great little drone

Downloaded the update, and it says, Initializing the resource pack, then boots me off the app. Now I can't use the drone I will buy anything holy stone anymore
