Hover X1 - HOVERAir 飛行相機

價錢親民、操作簡單同時、也保有相當自由度、更重要是它輕便安全，在戶外使用的心理壓力小

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.

I must honestly say I’m very new to using the hover air. The app makes it so easy and with the most recent updates this is one of the most user-friendly apps to work with a flying camera I have ever seen as a tech reviewer. It is very hard for me to find TECH that I am openly willing to refer to users, this is an exception this is an outstanding app

Exciting tech, but what's the use of it if the app itself is marginally accessible? I could not even initiate connection / pairing with VoiceOver screen reader. It is likely the unit is flying back to where it came from! :)

Great (almost magical) automated technology, but I don’t trust a company based out of China with all of my photos. Please update and allow me to add photos to my library without giving access to it.

So far so good!! Just bought it, it’s amazing can’t wait to try it out more!

Overall good and easy to use but I returned mine and the reason is simple. This drone/app needs settings for camera quality adjustments. Image of this drone is consistently overexposed and no way to control EV or dial down the exposure. Same for the contrast that is way too high. And let's not even mention abhorrent oversharpening. Why manufacturers.do this? They insist on images looking like a plastic cheap mobile phone.. why? With a basic user controlled Exposure/EV, Saturation, Contrast and Sharpening settings, the image quality of this drone would be infinitely better. If they add this to the drone, I'll conside buying it again. As it is, is really limited and unfortunately not as good as it could be.

I was contemplating purchasing this drone but saw reports of the user agreement. I couldn’t believe it actually was this crazy so I downloaded the app and read it for myself. I am not buying a drone to allow them to sell my personal photos to third parties without compensation. This honestly shouldn’t be legal.

It would be nice if the app has the option or any update to mute or lower the robotic sound of the hover, that’s the only thing i don’t like about it, it’s annoying for people around you when you’re gonna do a flight. Other than that. I like it a lot.
