User Reviews

FreeFlight Mini gets a mixed reception. When the drone connects, flight controls feel quick and the experience can be smooth, and several reviewers say the app works well with Parrot Mambo and FlyPad for FPV. However, recurring issues center on updates and connectivity: firmware update failures, Bluetooth/iOS compatibility problems on newer devices, and spotty connections. Battery life is very short in several reports, and the app itself is prone to crashes. Camera/FPV setup is sometimes unreliable. Overall, reliability hinges on stable updates and robust connectivity.
Pros
  • When connected, the drone responds quickly with smooth flight controls.
  • The app supports Parrot Mambo and FlyPad for FPV flying.
  • Some reviewers report that the app generally works well with Parrot hardware and the drones are enjoyable.
Cons
  • Frequent firmware/update failures that block flying (update required, error downloading firmware, or updates not completing).
  • Poor Bluetooth/connection compatibility with newer iOS devices and some models (XR, iPhone 11, iPad low power Bluetooth) and overall spotty connections.
  • Very short battery life (drone dies in minutes).
  • App crashes and instability (crashes on start or when tapping buttons).
  • Camera/FPV setup and connection issues (unreliable camera connection, FPV often not working).

Left it under 3 boxes protected by 1 piece of flattened cardboard (the box it I got it in) took it out years later and it still works like new

It is so fun that I wanted to play with it everyday but the problem is the battery keeps on dying every like 10 or 15 minutes

Made me download update multiple times in which each took a full hour to complete. The drone itself kept turning off. I do not recommend this app.
