If you have a newer iPhone, don’t bother. Your Parrot AR is now a 10 year old brushed motor drone that simply can not fly with newer versions of IOS. Parrot who sold a several hundred dollar brushed drone that costs in the 4-5$ range to build primarily because of the lipo (along with packaging which costed more). Parrot I can appreciate making drones for the extremely new pilot. As the simplicity is decent. Yet DJI, Yuneec, Autel, (list goes on for days), have always made better products)! Both cheaper, better, and meant to last. Parrot hasn’t even bothered to make firmware compatible with a new version of IOS. I’d assume because the general consensus by Patriot is nobody would even own an AR any longer, or they want you to purchase a new drone made by them. (Thanks from an FAA 107 licensed pilot for making a piece of 🗑️)! Disappointing can’t even begin to define where I stand with their app/all of the Parrot drones in which at my job I worked at for several years when one was brought in we simply took a look, told them sorry. Then decided that it was only fair to give them a better drone at 5-10$ above our costs. Mind you the retail markup on most RC products is around the 100% range.

I have two ar2.0 drones yesterday is the first time I had a chance to mess around with them. At first the app would connect and I could get to pilot mode and fly the thing ( it was a blast when it worked) but only 1 out of every 5 tries. Every time I connected to the Wi-Fi and would return to the app I couldn’t press any button and would be stuck on the home menu forcing me to exit the application and restart. Today however I am getting a big fat 0 out of 30- 40 tries connecting and freezing the app every time . Am I doing something wrong cause if so please help me . I am so frustrated and want to just use this thing as target practice.

I’m just not sure what the problem is. But every time I hit the go button on my phone the drone comes off the ground about 6 to 8 inches then just goes wild. Mostly turning in circles till it hits something. Just so very disappointed after downloading the training app and practicing for around three hours before I even put the battery in my drone it just does not preform like the training app. It will not hover and the controls are nonexistent.
