[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 77688, member: 10850"] Your experience really sums up the "iOS versus Android with DJI" dilemma well. Plenty of good Android phones and tablets that work fine in general won't run DJI Go smoothly. Yet any recent iPhone or iPad is relatively glitch-free. On the surface that seems unfair but with Android there are many different device manufacturers, more active OS versions, carrier dependent OS updates and a myriad of diverse devices. The combinations are in the millions and DJI can't account for them all. With Apple however -- iPhone and iPad are nearly identical technology, same manufacturer of hardware and software, and over 95% of users on most recent versions of iOS. I sympathize with Android users who don't want to upgrade their device (or switch to iOS) just to fly their drone. And getting a second device dedicated only to droning can add another $200-300 to the cost of your quad. Those are three unacceptable options for most pilots. There isn't a simple and inexpensive solution which is certainly why this topic is constantly rising to the surface. For the record I use iPhone X, iOS 12 with Tello, Spark and Mavic Pro with no issues. Just gets better with every update. Not trying to rub salt in any wounds but thought another perspective could better help folks decide. Cheers [/QUOTE]
