App Profile: SkyRider Cruise

Rating: 3/5

Overall , the drone ITSELF flys really well. I do like that it can do a flip which is a cool feature. It connects well with the remote & is entirely user friendly. Now the app itself ? Trash. I can’t even get to the second screen sometimes cause it sticks on the main start screen after pressing start. & the app doesn’t even connect to the drone well enough for the camera to even pop up. Tells you to connect to device even when you do get to the 2nd screen smh.

I got a SkyRider drone, bought replacement batteries for it, and got it in the air. It’s not a bad drone, the best one I’ve had so far. But I could only do so much with just the controller. I needed to get the app in order to get camera data. I downloaded the app, and immediately noticed the stretched look of it. It seemed to be made for 16:9 screens, whereas iPhones have a 2.16:1 aspect ratio. So instead of redesigning the GUI for the entire app, the developers just stretched it to fit. Next, I linked my drone to the app and started recording video. On the packaging of the drone it doesn’t say anything about the quality of the camera. And now I knew why. It could only stream 640:480 pixels of video. Not only that, but the quality was terrible. No white balance, no brightness compensation, and no onboard video capture. All of the video data was saved on the phone, which is a recipe for terrible fps and lag. The worst part, however, was that you cannot save media from the app. It has to be saved in photos, and if you turn that off, you have no way to move the media out of the app other than screenshots. I still had fun regardless of these flaws, and have a lot of good memories made with this app. I thought fly by phone tilt was cool. But it was a pretty bad app.

This Was An Great Chrismas present when I gotten this. The drone can go fast, the batterty is so… Bad Yet Good, The Battery Charges so Fast But yet lasts for 15-20 Mins Which it really Annoying Everytime. But this drone can do backflipe, records useing an camera, the quality is alright but I don’t Mind. But Here a Bug Right now. Every time I go to the app, Connect to the drone, I click the play button, But it won’t Load it. It’s doesnt let me record On the camera to see where I’m going and stuff. And I have to fly to the backyard all the time. Please Fix this and thank you. Overall this drone deserves 4.1 Stars. Not the best But cheap and fun!
