Review summary

Users report mixed experiences with the Hover X1 Android app. While some find it easy and intuitive with good flight modes, many face persistent connectivity problems, inability to download or access videos, and app crashes. The user interface is considered poor and intrusive, with social media features disliked. Compatibility is an issue with some phones notably Pixel 6. Privacy concerns were raised about forced server communication in China. Overall, the app's poor reliability and limited functionality detract from an otherwise good drone hardware experience.

Pros

Easy and intuitive to use for some users.
Includes multiple flight modes including manual mode.
Compliments the Hover X1 drone hardware reasonably well when working.
Great autopilot drone camera functionality.
Occasional smooth experiences on some devices like Samsung S23/S24 and iPad.

Cons

App frequently fails to connect reliably to the drone's WiFi, causing connection and video access issues.
Unable to download or access recorded videos easily; requires connects via PC as workaround due to server-side restrictions.
Poor app stability with crashes, freezes during live preview, especially on Android devices like Pixel phones.
Confusing and limited user interface with intrusive social media features that users find annoying and irrelevant.
Lack of compatibility information and poor device support leads to issues, especially with certain phones like Pixel 6.
Privacy concerns over videos being forced to upload or communicate with Chinese servers, including for simple actions like deleting videos.

2026-04-06	Aa*****	I recently bought a HoverAir X1 drone. It is good and compat. Battery capacity is not the best, but it is usable. My biggest complain (besides the high price of the drone compared to similar and better drones like the DJI Neo) is the application. It has a lot of bugs. Some tutorials on how to use the features appeared even when I already watched them. Also, the manual mode is not working for me. I guess I won't buy more HoverAir products unless they redesign the app and lower product prices.

2026-03-24	Lo*****	UPDATE: Turns out that I was able to update the app on the Poco F5 through the app itself rather than through the Playstore which is strange.

2026-03-10	Ou*****	It is very difficult to connect the drone to this app. Once it's connected, everything is fine. But the Drone does not always connect to the app and without that connection you cannot download the image files. This is a terrible app and the Drone is not that great. Definitely returning everything.
