[QUOTE="Decado, post: 87095, member: 14923"] Hi Doug I'm with pmshop. I am an android guy but unless it is close to stock reference Android such as the Crystal Sky runs then you just can't rely on the GO4 app 100%. DJI wrote it for reference android but some manufacturers skins on android are worse than others and the GO4 app gets testy to some degree with all of them. I have 14 android devices between the wife, the kids and I an I've tried them all. Some are better than others, none are perfect. I'm a commercial certified RePL so any failure when I am flying costs me money even if it's just an app crash due to time lost so I went over to the dark side and bought an apple device as I wan ted cellular for convenience which the Crystal Sky didn't have. Also being a commercial pilot I have every DJI platform from the Spark to the Inspire and other brands and of course the Crystal Sky doesn't support them all. I skipped the mini 4 simply due to the age of the design and the older A8 processor and went with a iPad Gen 6 128Gb cellular model and it has never let me down once. When the New Mini 2019 is released here in another 9 days I'll be picking up one of those and the current unit will become a backup. I use Litchi a lot to fly way point missions on commercial jobs and I really like it. That said I would never plan a mission on a mobile device as the interface is always a little clunky with a touch screen and placing points accurately can be a little hit and miss. I always use the PC and go online to the Litchi Mission Hub and save the completed job and run it from the iPad on site. That's not to say you [I]can't [/I] run it on a mobile device, many people do. It's simply from my perspective it's about speed and accuracy. Actually I plan my flights on DJI Flight planner, export them to a Litch .csv file and then import them into litch from the mission hub and touch up the way points to reflect height above AGL not above take off point which Litchi can do but not all software can.
