SidePilot

This app is pretty amazing. It just works. One thing that I have to work out is why many functions are “unsupported” (I think that’s what the voice was saying). Any ideas? Thanks for the useful app. Very much worth the money.

Tom this app is so great! You should be proud of the quality work you’ve done for all of us Solo iPhone pilots. I couldn’t even imagine how I could even be able to get my drone in the air without this incredible app. Thanks so much Tom

I don’t really leave reviews ever, but this app is so fantastic that I almost felt obligated to. Like a lot of people, when support ended for my Solo drone, the app was gone and I had eventually moved on with my phone so I could no longer fly my drone. Recently I dusted it off to see if I could get it going again and immediately had issues with calibration, but since the app was gone I couldn’t calibrate it, and couldn’t even fly it in manual mode. I found this app and used it to upgrade the firmware on both the drone and the controller with ease, and I was also able to calibrate the drone and get it flying with my live video feed working as well. I’m just now starting to mess with the map and waypoints and everything, but it looks intuitive so far, and there is good documentation provided. If you have a 3DR Solo that’s dead in the water, this app gives you everything you need to get her back in the air. I *highly* recommend it.

I’m using the app to fly my solo drone with! And it works great. I can’t imagine what you could do without the help of this amazing app. Keep Flying

Without this app, I would not be able to use my drone anymore. It does the job well worth the money spent.

Excited to see developer starting again please keep doing updates!

Why!

I have up and down movement but no left and right. The rest of the app works great. Just have to edit a leg on post out. Like the waypoints.

The app is great! My issue is I can’t control my GoPro with it. I have the GoPro Hero 4 Black. The red circle is in the screen but does nothing. I have video feed and at the top of the screen i would be able to see time moving if it was recording but I can’t get it to start recording via the app. Can someone help? Ascconcepts@gmail

Used with 3DR Solo drone. DOES NOT work properly. Has caused my drone to crash twice when trying to land and destroy its propellers. I’ll preface this with saying that I never had ANY issues like this with the stock 3DR app before 3DR disappeared from the App Store…no crashes or any other bugs like below. I updated all necessary firmware; the app will allow drone to fly but has several issues. - When trying to land, the drone will get squirrely and randomly throttle up even though I’m holding the throttle all the way down as required when landing - it will have quick spurts of full throttle then stop, then full throttle again (all while throttle is held down at 0%). It tends to catch two side legs on the ground, then flip over and destroys the props, and will not shut off no matter what you do with the throttle or any buttons. I had to hold the drone in my hand with the throttle held down, but it continued to throttle itself up until the battery finally died. - Will not trigger the GoPro to begin recording. - Will not allow parameter changes to be synced to drone. - With full, healthy battery the app says that the battery is critically low within 1 minute of flight time and wants to return “home”. This app is terrible. Don’t use it.
