SkyRider Cruise

So after seeing all the reviews it sounds like this app is trash total trash saying that people don’t have any control it would fly all by itself or automatically yeah I saw a lot of bad reviews one star there is only one review I saw with five stars but I am starting to get along with this now to it’s not about the app so I got batteries for the controller for the drone and I’m walking up my stairs, holding the joystick swing in my arm and then right as I get to the 10th step The left joystick snaps out of place and now it’s broken so I think the design for the controller is bad cause there’s no way that should’ve snapped.I used to have another drone and I carried it the exact same way it did not snap so the design is complete trash. also, I bought this app off of my iPad so I hope it’s not harder

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.
