Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The sim itself is pretty good. However the frequency of the ads seems to increase plus most of the ads become inescapable, you have to exit the game to close them out unless you want to wait on a 5 minute countdown. We get ads pay the dev but please tune them or use a different ad source.
Please make this game controller support. It would be really fun.
You spelled Drone wrong in the title screen.
Did not work with game pad, and the controls were not those of actual drones. Its kinda a game, but not one worth too much attention.
We normally dont give bad reviews, but this one made us do it. 2 years ago, the game was fire and fun to play. It was fun and helped us practice fpv. The new updates make it unplayable.
This game is very, very, very, very good.
We appreciate this game, its a lot of fun and definitely helps with reaction timing and piloting. Only thing that Im not happy with is the sudden speed change to the drone. (Yes we know you can adjust the throttle) but the speeds used to be 40mph and now its not even going 22mph. Only reason we mention this is because of the dramatic throttle response change and not being able to recover from a flip or trick. The throttle feels very delayed coming from someone who plays this everyday.
Controller support would be great.
Great drone simulator for beginners like us to practice flying.
Its a good way to practice flying a drone.
Umm its ok you just have to make it a little more realistic and make the map bigger.
The ads are overwhelmingly disproportionate and make the game nearly impossible to play. They remain on the screen indefinitely.
You Guys have the best game evEr.
Great Game with good quality we just cant ever a controller to it since an add is always informative of the button to pair our controllers.
Hey we wasnt able to play due to the lack of not being controller available.
Theres one question we have. How do you flip upside down.
We were really excited when we saw all of the reviews and started downloading. Whenever we booted up the game we saw all of the ads, then we played on the barn map and the game kept asking us to write a review. It felt like the game was going to give us a virus the whole time we were playing it, the graphics are horrible and the UI is annoying. Overall, the game is not all that good but maybe a select audience would enjoy and appreciate it more than we did.
They put the stupid ad on top of the drone so you have to pay the $3 to remove it. Deleting the stupid app.
It says its a good game but its not its very glitchy and kicks you out all the time.
Has adds, terrible settings and stupid maps. 0 stars.
The app is amazing. Please add more maps or open it up for users to add their own maps. Great stuff.
You should add camera effects and a map with drifting cars, to practice cinematic flys.
This is by far the best acro mode trainer on mobile. The best setting is the camera tilt, because you need to change it depending on the speed you are averaging on a track or a freestyle run. Another great feature is the controller support. We run a ps4 controller hooked up to our iPad. One problem however with using a controller is that the game only starts recognizing an input made on the joystick after moving it about 1mm right or left, which doesnt sound like a big deal until you try to make any sort of small corrections or quick turns. This could be just an issue with controller support on apple devices, but you get used to it anyways. Pls add more maps similar to the Arabic town, with lots of different nooks and crannys to fly or flip through.
Very good work making this app! The physics are not bad at all. Only thing we wish you could change is the way the throttle works.
Good Training for Flying Drones.
This is such a great drone game it is the best Ive ever played so far and its really good we like it but the problem we have is the rotation to the left and right can you please make it more realistic please after all its a grand game you should get it.
And when we saw maps we mean just one single good map would make this game 10/10.
You should add stuff like missions to make it less boring l just dont really like racing games then we will give this game five stars but only once you add more stuff and be able to get close to humans and go into water our review is done.
Kids are having a great time together with the game lol.
Almost a great game. With controller support it would be a great fpv sim to use on your phone.
Barely playable unless you turn off wifi or cellular data unless you wanna pay to get rid of the ads.
Im sure the game runs great and is very stable on newer updates and devices, and we know our device is a piece of junk currently, but it wont start.
Every time you hit a button there is an add and its not fpv. Also the controls are not consistent and you can fly races on the ground. Disappointed.
Developer made everything to get you buy the ad removal. Ads are at every step, DO NOT download this app.
If you like annoying ads then this is your game. You get more ad time than game time. If we could we would give it zero stars.
IOS 13.3 iPad 6gen App crashes when trying to open, tried to install twice. Have never been able to get working.
We'll sum up our experience with this app quick. Took five minutes to play for less than 1 1/2 min. That equals 3 1/2 min of ads in five minutes. Thank you, uninstalled.
The app wont even open, it just crashes as soon as we open it.
Hands down the best drone simulator for a phone its realistic the only one Ive found worthy of keeping on our phone.
The crashing sequence could use some work but as far as it goes its just like the real thing and it even has beta flight well just a little dumb down but you can still change your rates five stars. (That was before the update now with the new update the Physics are garbage and you crash randomly. Kinda bad now).
Theres no other FPV sims for the Apple devices that are even close to real flying. This game has sliders for the rates, thrust adjustment, and even camera adjustment. Sadly we dont have a Bluetooth controller to use, but even with the integrated joysticks the app works amazing.
We like the simulation, as it is relatively realistic, and is good for acro flying. We hope to learn how to fly on this, and we will update later around may 2020 if it works. Update! If you want to learn to fly fpv, this is the best way posible! We were doing crazy tricks/lines on our first flight.
Im traveling light during Covid19 so all we have is our iOS devices. We were hoping for an app to maintain our feeble FPV skills. Our normal sim is Freerider FPV with our Taranis connected to a desktop. This app looked real similar so we gave it a try. We like it a lot. We dont normally like touch screens but we were able to tweak this app a bit in settings so it felt right. Joshua Bardwell has a learning FPV series on YouTube that uses Freerider we followed his videos and used this app. We think this app will keep our skills fresh until we can get home and get back out flying again. Great job.
Using this till we get our radio. Haha learning to fly with a gamepad. We would be eternally grateful for google cardboard support.
The flying dynamics, controller support, as well as the timed courses make for a great flying experience. However, the inability to purchase the additional courses hinder the rating. The same tracks get old.
Although we can connect our PS4 controller via Bluetooth, we cannot use it, apparently, for this app. Ive had this problem with other apps as well… We should wonder about other controllers tho… Will likely give a higher rating if dis is fixed.
Obviously the creator doesnt have a racing drone.
Loving this Sim!!!! You can choose different flying modes, choose Acro or Stability etc you can even use a joystick (video game controller) hoping they will add Radio transmitters. This is long overdue cause the Apple App Store has only 1 other worthy game for Freestyle/ Drone racing enthusiasts. Im excited to see the updates to this game and will keep it on our phone as long as Im interested in the Drone hobby. Again Awesome sim guys for the Apple phone!!!! Thanks so much for stepping up and producing this Sim.
