I got this app for the VR mode. I have tried the free ones and they were really bad. So I decided to buy this app. The drone doesn’t stop flying. MY DRONE CRASHED(but it’s ok) I don’t know why but sometimes my drone starts to fly somewhere. I had it hovering and all of the sudden it started to fly forward and I couldn’t make it stop. I CRASHED IT AGAIN!!! Maybe it doesn’t work well with the Spark. And add a manual or a help page. There are some settings that I have no idea what they do. I’m ok with the bugs if the app was less than $5 but it’s $22!!! Thats crazy for an app that’s so buggy and doesn’t work well. P

Can’t speak for the any other models, but I’ve used this app strictly for Waypoints on my P3 (originally) and later on now Spark. Never once have I had a problem with it, and believe me; I’ve sent both drones on suicide missions. Pushed them to the absolute edge of their battery limits, in light rain, snow, and 25mph winds. Guess what? It always came back. My Spark has been pretty buggy too. A common issue with them is it loses GPS signal out of nowhere and goes into ATTI mode. But with Litchi Waypoint mode I’ve never had it fly off into the sunset never to return. So after YEARS of using this app, I give it 5 stars.

I love using Litchi and after learning more through some courses, I am using it more and more each day. There is one thing that I wish you guys could add. This is one of the main reasons why I go back and forth between apps while flying my drone. I’d love it if you guys could create some kind of a mimic to Tap-Fly. It is so easy to use to create some great cinematic shots. The biggest problem I have is holding the stick at a constant speed. I love setting the speed and not having to think about it. DJI has kind of left the Mavic Pro behind my n this area, as the Mavic Air has enhancements to Tap-fly that I wish we had. They can Tap-fly and fly backwards, and they have a cool feature called “free” which works sort of like course lock and allows you to rotate the drone as it flies in a selected path. All with speed control!!! Please add something like this to your Litchi app!!! And it would be even more awesome!!!

So we all buy this for the waypoints. In my case, for the Air. In EU, the distance of the remote is 500 meters, in 5ghz mode. That’s the theoretical limit. In reality it is obviously much less. Enter waypoints and litchi. First of all, the iOS version is lacking elevation height data in waypoint planning mode. The major issue here is that, if I lose the RC signal to the Mavic Air while it’s flying a mission, all the speed settings you’ve might’ve added on various waypoints will stop functioning. The Mavic Air will use the speed you programmed for the waypoint(s) where the connection between the Air and the RC is lost, this means that the Mavic Air will continue on the same speed it had when the signal was lost. This is plain dangerous. What if planned a very slow POI fly-by, I lose the connection for whatever reasons, that bird won’t make it back. Automatic gimbal movement will also stop working, which means it won’t center a point of interest, nor will it execute any planned gimbal movements. Fairly major issues. These things need to be made clear in the app info here on the AppStore. And perhaps take a bit of time to comment on said issues, please?

Had three flights with Litchi now, one fpv and two flight mode flights. Fpv worked just like DJI, orbit caused the craft to fly well below the set altitude causing a crash into a tree instead of an orbit over it. Today I tried track, the main reason I purchased Litchi. Well after the app crashed a few times on my iPad mini I should have went back to using DJI Go but I wanted to test that awesome feature. In short the gimbal kept pointing straight down and saying subject lost then the phantom flew away and rammed into the side of a building nearby before flying off the other direction while descending into the ground. I hear so many great things about this app but hate that it seems to crash me every time I use flight modes with it. Never have come close to a crash with the DJI app?

Like so many software developers it appears Litchi does little to base release functional enhancements on Customer Feedback! When have they sent surveys to ALL registered customers to ask for “Real Users wish lists”, and then Post them and regularly update the list in order of importance? NONE, Autonomous? Yes. Take the DJI QuickShot’s for instance? Why weren’t ALL of these expanded upon by Litchi? Wouldn’t it be nice if the video capture would NOT stop after completing a single “circle”? Why not rather keep the video recording until the User presses the video button again? Or why not reverse the “Spiral” path and again keep the video recording? Wouldn’t an inward spiral be a very cool path and wouldn’t this seem to be a fairly simple programming change? Where is the Agile methodology in this development cycle? Well, sadly it appears to be the old SDLC software development cycle. And lastly, it’s been a year between software releases. Do we have another year to wait for something substantial?

I heard about litchi about 3 years ago when I only had a DJI phantom 3 standard I recently just started using the app with my spark and I found a bug revolving the sd card. If you format the sd card with the litchi app it will corrupt the sd card and the only way to fix it is to pop it into the computer and reformat it that way. I found that after that if you take a pic using the app it will format the sd card the way it’s suppose to be. Just a interesting and annoying but but that still doesn’t change the fact that this app is incredible it has allows me to do things with my drones that djis own app couldn’t do.

While generally a really good app, there a few of things I’d like to see to make it better.One is that the waypoint editing window covers the waypoint I’m editing. I suggest offsetting the editing window to one side of the interface while showing the waypoint/POI on the opposite side of the interface.Next is a tripod mode that allows a single point in space to be recorded so I can return the drone to that point. With waypoints, I have to record at least two points, which isn’t always an option. This mode would be useful for still shots that need to be repeatedly recorded from the same perspective.Would also like to see a partial orbit function with back and forth motion. The purpose is to fly low and center on an object that is partially surrounded by high objects. Flying full orbits is not always an option because of trees or cliffs behind the subject.Next is an improvement of the panoramic function. The lower rows do not need the massive overlap that results from selecting a decent overlap on the row that covers the horizontal plane.

Setting way points are great first 8 missions great out of contact for 45 seconds or so dji spark continues mission thought was best thing ever. Next time lose connection drone never returns (crash?) look for drone nothing doesn’t really give you accurate location just where your drone drops connection from remote. Drone # 2 dji spark figure maybe a fluke 3rd time flying drone similar mission with waypoints clearly defined, loss of contact drone # 2 lost. Very disappointing since I was under impression that if drone lost contact it would continue mission worst case setup to rth. Very disappointing to lose two drones and worst part is how cool app operates and had made run at least 8 times prior no problems. I would appreciate any insight as to why the sudden failure/loss of drone from what seems like such a promising app. Any insight would be appreciated I still Have waypoint miSsions saved And would be happy to share just to see if it’s user error or application problem. I want to continue to use app but I can’t do it at expense of buying new drone every couple of weeks.
