Drone Scanner

Although it might not be the developer’s fault, Apple won’t allow the app to receive WiFi- rendering the app completely useless for iPhone users. It should be removed from the App Store until such time that iOS allows Drone Scanner access to WiFi.

Will become more useful as remote is becomes more popular

The iOS version of this app does NOT work. My iPad can see the RID info in the Wi-Fi settings, but the app sees nothing.

I understand Apple controls the hardware functionality and is the reason WiFi doesn’t work with your app. However, that limitation shouldn’t buried in a help file. If you are going to offer this App on iOS, that limitation should be prominently displayed on the download page. I wasted an hour searching the internet and finally found the reason on your app’s help page.

Should be zero stars as it doesn’t matter if Apple won’t completely redo their software so their WiFi protocol can be used. You should not even offer it here in the Apple Store when you know it doesn’t work. It would be no different than offering a game which won’t work on any Apple device or Google store offering an app which won’t work with Android OS. Seems like common sense to remove this app and only submit it to Apple for approval if they ever redo their software to work.

I have the app opened next to my drone with Remote ID enabled. Wireless and Bluetooth are working but still no recognition of the drone.

This app does not pick up remote id transmissions. I have tested it with my drone which is actively transmitting remote id.

Drones are under the FAA therefore the access to information is the same. Don’t invade people’s privacy if you don’t want to be identified.

iPhone 14 Pro and a brand new DJI Air 3 with remote ID. The app….nothing, nada, zilch. Flew the drone around the phone for 15 minutes and the app detected nothing.

The developers always respond with this app being allowed under local regulations. And they are correct that no law currently prevents them from sharing your information. So they just go ahead and share it. A lot of it. Very detailed information. To anyone using this app. And who knows who else really. And they are right that it may be legal for them to do it. But it’s definitely unethical.
