## Description

DroneVR lets you sit in the cockpit of your drone and fly as if you were a bird. It links your phone to the drone to render the live stream in stereo with lens distortion correction for VR headsets. The free version supports Ryze Tello; additional DJI drones are unlocked via in-app purchase.

It includes a configurable UI with dark/light modes, two HUDs for real-time telemetry, a head-up menu to control flight and camera settings, a mini-map, head tracking to adjust camera orientation, flight logs synced with iCloud or file sharing, spectator mode to fly with friends, and stereo or mono rendering. Video quality ranges from 720p/30fps on older drones up to 1080p on newer models, with compatibility across a wide range of VR headsets.

## Review summary

Feedback is mixed. Many praise the app's immersive VR experience and head-controlled gimbal, especially on Mini drones, and call it a strong value. However, a large number of reviews report reliability issues: frequent drone connections failures, gimbal/camera that won't recenter or stays downward, and freezes or black video feeds. Other recurring problems include crashes, slow or no updates for new drones or iOS, and weak developer support. Several users also view the upgrade to version 2 as a cash grab. Overall, great potential, but stability and compatibility must improve to meet expectations.

### Pros

- Immersive VR experience with head-controlled gimbal that enhances filming.
- Works well with DJI Mini and some drones, delivering an immersive experience.
- Excellent value and setup for the VR experience; feels like a high-end headset.
- Positive overall reception from some users (e.g., 'amazing' / 'best in the market').

### Cons

- Frequent drone connection failures / timeouts.
- Gimbal/camera control often fails to recenter or remains pointed downward.
- Stability issues: crashes, freezes, black video feeds.
- Poor support for newer drones and slow/no iOS updates / developer responsiveness.
- Upgrade/licensing concern: version 2 perceived as a cash grab.
