Has potential
I prefer this app to the other 3rd-party Phantom controllers, but it has a lot of issues. It does not save your waypoints automatically, so if you leave the app and come back a bit later, all your hard work is gone. Modern software autosaves, guys! Not to mention, when you explicitly save it asks you to confirm, as if saving is a dangerous thing. No, developers, NOT saving my work is the thing you have to worry about.
Another bad design choice cost me my Phantom 4. Yes, my first Autoflight app crashed and destroyed my drone! Before starting a flight, it asks you whether altitude is relative to takeoff or current location. I think this should be a choice made in settings, not a last-second question. I wasnt thinking and tapped "current location" when I meant "takeoff." This caused my drone to soar vertically into a tree and then plummet to the ground. Yes, my fault, but developer shouldnt put me in position to make this mistake before every single flight.
Despite these complaints, I prefer this app to Litchi and the others due to its extreme flexibility. That power comes at a price - you can shoot yourself in the foot, but Ill take that chance.
