Hover X1 - Self Flying Camera

its frustrating to want to do other modest that arent the preset, for example: dolly or side track, but cant be the screen wont load and i have to wait in a blank screen making which that option unusable.. if theres a way to fox that so we dont have to hit “take a look” and we can just USE the option that would be nice. also, access the album even when the drone is off would be convenient. hate that i have to have it on to see the footage after the fact. also having to earn the next sets of video features is a little much. id the interface can be more sleek and user friendly please

This application necessitates comprehensive editing tool features comparable to industry standards, such as Insta360 or GoPro. Ideally, the cost of this camera should encompass robust features within the app.

I wish they had more operational manuals included in the app as well as some better UI. But it does work and doesn’t crash so that’s a plus!

The app works generally fine. However, the privacy policy link on the App Store goes to a nonexistent website and there are concerns about the company having access to all of the photos on your phone.

Why does the app require full access to my phones photo library? When I set the option for limited access (allow the device to save to library and manually select content to share with the app), it doesn’t save video content and keeps prompting for access to photo library. There is no reason for this app to have full access to every item in the photo library. It should save to its own folder.

I bought the Hover Air X1 after seeing a few videos of it on social media and decided to jump on the bandwagon and I’m glad I did because it’s soo much fun and so easy to use! The app is great and I love that it has a manual mode too. The only downside I have is not being able to unlock the flight modes right away and also if you offload the app temporarily and reinstall it, all of your flight modes that you’ve previously unlocked start all over again from scratch, which is very disappointing for me. Another complaint I have is the log in process, if one logs in and decides to log out, when you try to log back into your account it doesn’t allow you to, instead, it wants you to create a new account which is just so weird. Other than these minor setbacks in the app, I still like it and hope that they can fix these issues and add more fun flight modes and features like voice control! That would be amazing!

Many here concerned about privacy and photo sharing access by Hover. I use an older second iPhone when using my hover. Only photos on it are ones taken with the Hover.

I am not comfortable with the fact that the app requires access to all of my photos. Please explain why it is not possible to allow only limited access. Even if it comes at the expense of some functionality, I just want to download my videos from the drone.

Since updating my iPad Pro to iPadOS 17.5.1 (21F90) the Hover no longer connects for downloads. This thing cost too much to become an unusable piece of junk. DOH! User error. I just had to look in Files on my iPad under the HoverX1 folder to access the videos taken. So changing my rating to 5 stars because this little drone rocks.

This section of the App Store says the developer does not collect information. That is a lie. Read the current “privacy policy” and Terms of Use (required to even use the app). It is EXTREMELY invasive, including giving the developer the right to collect, archive and share data with third parties. Even worse, just to use the app, you are required to give the Hover app FULL access to your ENTIRE PHOTO LIBRARY. You cannot select “None” or “Limited Access” but only “Full Access.” (Zero-Zero, please stop this!) There is NO need to access my personal photo library…NONE! This just seems like an invasion of privacy and allows China to get all your photos. The Hover app can “download” the video/photos you take with Hover to your iOS Photos library, but there is zero reason the app needs “Full Access” to do that. Great innovative and unique product! Great app, but zero-zero needs to change the privacy policy.
