Autopilot for DJI Drones

I love this app but I fear it’s dying... the follow mode is the best you can get on DJI drones, though the default settings need tweaked a lot. Waypoint mode is very powerful too. I don’t have many crashes with the iPhone 7 Plus and DJI Mavic. But my Mavic is starting to have issues, and I see the app hasn’t added any new drones or iPhones in a long time, so the app may slowly die if they never update it... I also had an issue of it trying to register with DJI when I had no internet so it wouldn’t run, but I’d already registered it. I tried to contact them but they never responded.

I really want to use and like Autopilot, I even bought an iPad mini just to use it; but in its current form it’s just too buggy. The four biggest issues as of now are: 1) The app crashes almost every time you try to switch into a map view while flying. 2) The app can put your system in a state where you can not control your drone (not even RTH) with the RC controller and you have to unplug your smart device from the controller to regain control. 3) More than half the time when you try to enter the Flight Dashboard you can not due to the flight restrictions screen. Other times, in the exact same location you can. Playing with the Sport switch on the controller sometimes, but not always, helps. Same with restarting the app (scary when in flight). 4) Not as serious, but the app doesn’t work well with the iPhone X - the “notch” blocks out information on the Flight Dashboard. All of these issues lead me to wonder if development and bug fixing are continuing on this app. I love the features of Autopilot, especially the ability to modify waypoints, camera angles, vectors and all the other flight parameters on the fly. But I simply can not trust the app with an expensive drone in its current state.
