App is great when it works. I use it on both a Samsung Galaxy S5 and a Samsung Galaxy S7 and on both phones the app constantly crashes. Sometimes even before I get the drone up. Wifi range on my D58 is really poor. I lose signal at about 50 feet away even on both of my phones. Plan to buy a wifi range extender to see if that will help. But the app crashes so much I don't know if it's even worth messing with.
Absolutely awesome (1st time drone owner @61yrs old) 1st flight went off without any problems, took pictures and videos) app works perfectly as long as you follow all the directions & sequences: tip for very 1st timers, this app lets you set the drones parameters, to avoid high impact crashes limit height, distance etc to about 10 meters until your well acquainted with it, happy flying. PS, pictures/videos are very clear with no lag timeš¤
Worked fine until I upgraded my phone to Android 12. Tech support says they are working to make a fix but nothing yet. I fly my drone daily by only using the transmitter which is not ideal since I want to view video and see data that only comes through the GPS app. Hope they get this fixed soon or I will be returning my drone to Amazon. The manual could be written better, conflicting instructions on calibration and no instruction on custom map mode. Update: 11/11/21 the app is now working!
Works as described, and for the price point of the drone, that's not bad. Would give it 5 stars however I see no way to enter waypoints on map, the button to add waypoints is missing. All other functions work great. Even Follow me mode, for a 100 dollar drone works well. Please tell me how to get waypoint button to show and I can easily change to 5 star review.
Great app. Makes the D50 even more fun. I couldn't get maps to show in the app even having them downloaded in offline. The fix for this (at least on my Galaxy S9) was to install Google Earth. For some reason doing that and checking my area allowed the app to use maps. Now it works perfect.
Works well, but only metric display of height, distance and speed. Would rate higher if it had a setting to use imperial units, feet for height and distance, miles per hour for speed.
Bought my first drone from Potensic, I absolutely loved it; after the most recent update I could no longer use the app due to it no longer working on my phone. I emailed the company and they basically told me to get a new phone to fix the issue. Luckily I was able to have my money refunded through Amazon and I purchased a different companys drone with an app that actually works.
won't download maps or satellite images. requires clunky compas callibration every use. requires GPS calibration which takes 10 minutes to complete before you can fly. settings are not saved.
Latest update has disabled the custom max height of flying. I can no longer change it from 50m. Also, I cannot fly above 160m. Prior to the app update, I could change the Mac height to 250m and fly as high as my range would allow (500m and above). Please fix this.
The drone is excellent but the instructions (translations from Chinese) can be hard to follow. Note that their "5G" refers to 5ghz wifi (wifi5/802.11ac) to connect to the drone; *NOT* 5G cellphone data service. Flying is easy: I watched several youtube videos before i started to get the gist and supplement the fuzzy parts of the owners manual, and had no trouble getting the drone in the air and under control. I'm not very good yet, but the drone is well built and seems pretty study.
it show the arrow for my drone but huge and has the google logo, started doing this recently and I cant change it. make an update to where they can fix this. also can't use satellite or hybrid or map properly because it won't load. fix this too.
Took forever for the drone to calibrate and connect to GPS. On the lone initial flight, the drone went up, flew away, and I can not locate it. None of the controls worked. Waste of money.
Cannot fly my new drone cause the app keeps crashing every time I try to open it. I'm using a s a Samsung s20 5G which first day worked fine. Now all of a sudden since some update this drone is useless. PLEASE respond with some type of answer.
I would give it 5 stars if it had a user's manual I like it but cant use some the more advanced like waypoints because I dont know the functions of the button come on that's just lazy you can make an awesome app but you cant make a user's manual well cost you 2 stars so I give ya 3 stars but with a users manual 5 star app
My first drone, Very easy to use. -- was -- a Great app. Update 10/2020 - won't work with latest version of google
I'm not sure why everyone is having issues. I purchased th D 58 drone and it all works amazingly yes you have to have a phone with 5G capabilities or it will have issues. I love my new drone and the app is amazing. Ty .
Not sure if it's the drone or the app, but I cannot connect to the drone making the app useless. Of course, it's useless because there's virtually no instructions or troubleshooting guides.
Rubbish. In order for it to work the app demands that it's allowed to make and receive phone calls. Why? Far too intrusive just to fly a toy drone.
Doesn't open app on my pixel 5. Before this it worked very well. Disappointed because of the amount of money I spent on this and yet the company still won't provide for all it's users.
this app did work great for the first day or two but now I keep uninstalling and reinstalling it and making sure my phone and everything is up to date anyways now this app will not open up for me anymore
Months and months of use no issues yet. Plus the periodically upate keeping this APP working just fine
The app works ok but I cant get the map to come up right when trying to use the Point to point feature using the D58 drone. Please fix and I will give 5 stars
Worked fine until I updated to Android 12. Since then the app will not even open. Can't fly my drone. Such a waste of money
App crashes directly on opening. I was about to install it for my first flight.. please fix this!
I was having the same problem with maps not loading in the app, but I figured out what the problem was. The app seems to use the download offline maps function in Google maps to retrieve map data, and this function in Google maps is set to work on wifi only by default, so the app is unable to download maps over your mobile connection. To fix this you need to go into the settings in google maps and allow offline maps to be downloaded over mobile as well. 1. Tap the three lines in the top left corner of google maps next to the search field. 2. Scroll all the way down and tap settings. 3. Scroll down and tap offline maps settings 4. Tap download preferences 5. Choose Over Wi-Fi or mobile network 6. Open Potensic-GPS and it should now be able to download maps while connected to the drone. I hope this works for all of you having problems as well. This really should have been mentioned in the manual, but at least it works now. Good luck!
