POTENSIC-G

The app often crashes or fails to fully open to allow on screen controls of the drone and camera footage. I have reinstalled the app but nothing has changed. However, when it does work it's good. Also, the app requests permission to use the phones microphone but not sure why this is needed as no sound is recorded on any video footage that is shot.

This app is garbage. It connects when it wants to, which is rarely. Tried it again today and the remote and drone had both shut down and it still hadn't connected. Come on Potensic, get this sorted out now. Important update: I contacted the app developer and explained the problem with it. They have responded with a solution, which is simply to put your phone into airplane mode before connecting to WiFi and then the app. I have tried this twice today and it connected instantly on both occasions. For reference, I am using a Motorola Moto G5 with Android 8.1.0 However, I see no reason why it would not work with other phones. Good luck out there.

App would be great if it didn't require unnecessary permissions. Why are phone and mic access even needed? They definitely shouldn't be required! Storage should also be optional. Most apps will allow you to turn off unnecessary permissions, but unless you give this app everything it asks for, it won't allow control of the drone. Change the permissions requirements and the app would be good.
