Awful. Don’t buy this app. Bought this for my 3DR Solo and it didn’t work at all. Had a lot of problems with it glitching and it would not connect to the remote. Wouldn’t do anything to get the drone in the air and I strongly recommend that you don’t waste your time buying this app. Truly awful!

Great app. Good app for the 3dr solo. For some reason the app crashes every time I press the record button for video

Great app but GoPro problems. 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

Too many issues. 2.0 currently has too many bugs. From parameters not loading from vehicle to calibrations not functioning. Used to be a pretty good app prior to this new version. Will update my review when things are fixed.

3dr Solo Fully Functional Again!. Everything works. Test flight was a success. Thank you very much. Saved my Solo from EBay or the trash!

Lags horribly. Works for first few minutes of flight then feed completely freezes flying 3DR solo. I’ve tried on multiple iOS devices with different versions of iOS firmware and same. I’ve deleted app and took the loss of my money. The app is useless at this point. Almost caused me to loss my 3DR solo but thankful my spotter seen it.

Awesome. Great app for 3DR on iPhone. Hoping imperial measurements come out soon.

Crashed my drone into water. Was flying for 5 min abs then camera disconnected and lost connectivity. Pop up came up that said “swipe to arm” and only way to get rid of it was to swipe the icon. Next thing I know my GoPro is gone into sea with my solo 3dr. I retrieved it but the thing is shot now. $12 app cost me 500+! This is downright absurd.

Useless. Does not work No support

Map not loading. Map not loading when in use , somewhat lag on video feed please fix . I paid 12.00 for the app and I think it should been free since having all these issue .

Closes constantly. Bought it and thinking it would be good app replacing the 3DR solo app. End up wasting money

Much better than original 3dr app. Resurrected my dormant SOLO.. Works great and s very intuitive. Have not tried all the camera function yet but the utilities and update features appreciated the most. Well done Tom

Yes and No. It works and it doesn’t work. The longer you fly the more it lags and don’t try taking photos because that will mess the app up. The video lags and when your mid flight and try to switch from video to photo and take a photo it freezes. I was hoping for an alternative to the 3DR Solo app but this app is no better as I need live feed for cinematic video/photos. As of now it’s not worth the price of the app. $13 can buy you better stuff; music, awesome game apps, an app you pay for that actually works.

Gimbal left right movement. 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.

Will not let youUpdate controller out of pre flight. Why!

Back to Life. Yes, This application brought my orbital 3DR Solo back to life after a factory reset. I’m now flying mission with OpenSolo 4.0 software. If you have an 3DR solo you will want to follow the OpenSolo project. It not only keeps you flying but add new options. This is totally worth the money.

Great. Very nice app. If you have a 3DR and feel abandoned then this is a good alternative. Not totally comprehensive (smart shots and A/B buttons missing), but overall very nicely done. Also the developer says they are working on more functions for the 3DR in the future.

Excited to see developer starting again. Please keep doing up dates!. Excited to see developer starting again please keep doing updates!

3DR solo. I recently purchased this app and I was wondering how I would be able to preflight update ?

BRILLIANT. I was one of the first beta testers for this app, under a different name in mid 2016. WOW!! Tom Brereton has done a great job raising his baby. And from each update comes really good stuff. I'm happy I brought my favorite Solo back out & gave her some good love @ the same time with the SidePilot. And ONLY $13!!!!! BRILLIANT!

Everything works great. Good job developing this app! I updated my solo and got everything up and running with no hassle.

Excellent with 3drSolo running OpenSolo on iphone 7+. I have Side Pilot on my iOS devices and Solex on my Androids. I find SidePilot to be a bit easier to navigate. It also gives early warnings on Batteries starting to lose efficiency. One wish is that Side Pilot would allow me to change the Lighting configs on the drone the way I can in Solex. The SP manual says Green Cube needed, but I can do it in Solex without a GC, so why not in Side Pilot? Regarding the A/B buttons; not only can they be configured, you can customize ALL of the buttons on the controller. Its all in the manual.

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

Terrible.. 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.

Can’t connect to Solo Controller. What I get on iPhone when after connecting to the solo controller using WiFi, is a alert on WiFi connection iPhone “No internet connection” so I can’t get sidepilot to locate the solo controller thus no way to load the open source firmware into the controller or solo. Any one find a solution for this one? I have a 2nd solo system but it is stuck on Preflight Update, forgot the password and had to reset the controller Any help appreciated so I can raise the level of stars in review,.

Somebody please help. App crashes every time I try to connect the solo to the app. I have an iPhone 7 with up to date software.

Great app going forward, well worth the money!. Considering that 3DR no longer updates the official app and both iOS and Android had moved on requiring developers to keep up, SidePilot is the only thing that works today, and thus keeps my perfectly working Solo fleet up in the air! Thank you! P.s. Please add functionality to change GoPro video settings while in the air, like the OEM app did, so that one can go from wide angle 4K to narrow angle 1080p without landing. Thanks!

Brought my Solo back to life. 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.

3DR Solo drone. 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

No Support. I was enjoying this app but then it started having awful lag issues with the live feed. Lag would be so bad that after it landed the live feed showed Solo way up in the air still and frames going by at one per second. The only support is a Facebook page that you have to comment on and the developer has stopped responding to questions.

Thank you. Thank you for giving us our drones back!! Works great! Well worth the money!

NO ME FUNCIONÓ. Mi control esta en Modo Update. Con ésta app NO SE PUEDE ACTUALIZAR. No la compres si necesitas poner tu drone al dia. Inverti $17.99 US y los perdi. La única namera es usar un dispositivo androide y comprar la app SOLEX. Suerte!

Great Support and App. If you’re into open source drones or have a 3DR Solo this app is a must! Everything works great and if you have any problems the support is extremely good and fast!
