Comments and Reviews from users:

A Google user: “Can you add another feature for VR: To detect phone gyro movement and to translate this to camera movement. Ex: move head to the right/left, the drone moves to the right/left. For up and down movement of the head, move camera up and down (if possible/ if not, than move the drone to simulate camera movement). So basically translate the phone gyro into the controls from the right of the joystick.” – 5/5 in Play Store

A Google user: “Works as described. Would like to have more options for configuration like unit of measure from meters to feet and the ability to hide things like VR. Otherwise it works. Update 11/26/2019 Update today was 98mb but you don't provide details on the update which is alarming. I don't understand why you are not listing the information pertaining to updates.” – 3/5 in Play Store

Comments and Reviews from users:

Ryan Jones Drone Channel: “Updated review: August 31 2020. I have had the holy hs 720 drone for over 2 months. Looks like the bug in the app that causes the app to crash has been buggy. However, I have noticed that the video playback has been laggy lately. I will fly the drone around and sometimes the video playback seems to freeze or lag. Also, the drone wifi's signal seems to weaken at 400 yards away. The drone supposedly has at least a 1/2 mile range if not a full mile range and the drone's wifi range is supposed to be at least 800 meter (not 400 yards). I'd be leery about doing range tests with this drone if the video playback is going to be laggy and the drone's signal disconnects at 400 yards away. Also, I'd be leery about using the tap fly feature. Map is usually blank when using tap fly and the 2 times I tried it (back in June), I crashed the drone into a tree (luckily the drone is still in tact), but I haven't used tap fly since June. Might be more inclined to use tap fly if I can see the map and where it is supposed to fly to. Will need to be able to trust the tap fly feature for simple tasks before having it do something more complex. Orbit mode and follow me works pretty well though. Return to home usually works, but sometimes it can be off (especially when flying in a new location). App and drone is okay, but can definitely use improvements.” – 3/5 in Play Store

Chuck Daniel: “I'm not sure where others are having issues connecting. I have ZTE U2020 Pro phone and I have not had one issue losing video or connection. Android 11. Personally I like the app. It's simple and easy to use especially compared to the DJI fly app. I did have one event losing the drone that I'm working with Holystone to determine if tapfly had control. I used tapfly and on my next flight, the drone took off. Completely ignored the controller which is concerning. My suspicion is the tapfly downloads to the drone from the app and then it keeps executing till complete with no way to cancel. That's concerning so I will probably hold on that feature. I urge caution trying that function.” – 4/5 in Play Store

Tim Psota: “This app is amazing. It works very well with the drone. The wifi connection works well, and the resolution is great. It records very well and makes good photos and videos. If you have a VR headset to slide your phone in, there's a VR feature that blew my mind. You can wear the headset and fly the drone, putting you in the drones perspective. One complaint. There's a slight delay between the drone and the footage, which is annoying when the drone is far away. Without this, it would be 5 stars” – 4/5 in Play Store

Daniel Z.: “This is epic everything works as I thought and yea! There is no delay unlike other people said (if you jerk it really fast then a little delay) and if it doesnt connect then turn off all wifi and data on your phone and it will connect. Only thing is that there is no sound whatsoever :)” – 4/5 in Play Store

Comments and Reviews from users:

A Google user: “Also having trouble with Pixel3 but found that if you forget the network every time you restart the drone it'll connect when you connect to it again (you also have to approve the connection with no internet access). I suspect that the issue is that the Pixel3 is constantly trying to connect to other networks that have internet access by default. When I am able to connect the app does work okay. It's not great, just okay. But it's a hassle everytime.” – 2/5 in Play Store

A Google user: “It worked great with mine! If you have a smart phones and you're wondering why you cant connect you must have the drone on. wait a bit. Connect to the drone wifi (look for Holystone) turn off your mobile data and it should work. There is a little delay with the camera about 0.6 seconds. I would like if you allow it to access media like the other drone apps. The VR mode doesnt look too good for me. The camera is better than most drones I flew! It isn't the best camera but it works best for me!” – 4/5 in Play Store

A Google user: “HOW TO ACTUALLY USE THIS APP: A lot of people give drone apps one stars because they "don't work." This isn't the case with this one. If your app doesn't open then sure it doesn't work but a lot of people don't read the book on how to get it working properly. I'ma tell you guys 1: turn on wifi on phone, drone, and controller 2: turn off cellular data and if you downloaded any VPNS turn those off too 3: connect to the drone via WiFi (this means go to your WiFi and look for the drones name) 4: once connected go to drone app 5: click enable drone or something along those lines This should work. If this still doesn't help READ THE BOOM THAT CAME WITH THE DRONE.” – 4/5 in Play Store

Comments and Reviews from users:

Shivam Chauhan: “It is really buggy. - after turning on the drone and connecting to wifi, while clicking calibrate it complains "please connect the device first" don't know what it means. Connect phone to wifi or remote controller to drone. Either way it is not working. - sometimes texts are in chinese and sentences don't make sense. - if you are lucky and it connects, then while flying instructions for "how to ROI" is not clear.” – 2/5 in Play Store

Isaac Arellano: “App worked great from first use. All controls and features like a flight log record and circle fly work at push of a button. I've gone 100m high and about 176m away before I've noticed connection issues (in an apartment complex not wide open area). Overall would recommend a Holy Stone drone. I have a HS175 and a Galaxy S10+, overall satisfied.” – 5/5 in Play Store

I haven't tryed flying my drone far away yet so I don't know really how well the app communicates with the drone, but at close range it works good. The only reason why I am giving this app a 4 out of 5 stars is because follow me mode isnt working a error pops up, but imma keep trying out the follow me mode.” – 4/5 in Play Store

Anonymous: “The app works okay, but I'm having a bit of storage problems when saving the drones video. I bought an SD Card to save the drone's video because my phone doesn't have a lot of storage. However, the videos save in both the phone and the SD Card, and when my phone storage maxes out it freezes the phone. It would be nice to see a feature to save the videos either to the SD Card only, the phone storage only, or both!” – 3/5 in Play Store
