AMAZING!!! At first, it failed to connect to my PETRONE, but I figured it out! It is extremely hard to control, and extremely important you go to the pair button to turn on Bluetooth. 😍😎

Nice
★★☆☆☆
Sucks This app is holibale. I am unable to create an account because every email I use is an "existing email" the motion control it laggy and is not accurate with what I am doing. Over all I would rather just use the arduino remote and make my own code for it. On another note I can not create an acoustic the using google. The message says "avaliable Nov 17" last I checked it is the 20th..... DON'T PROMISE DATES AND NOT FOLLOW UP WITH IT.
★★☆☆☆
Bought this drone for full price, guess what, no refunds even when their app doesnt detect the bloody drone. I am trying to pair the drone on Bluetooth and it doesnt want to, their app doesnt even detect the drone. 0/5
