## Description

TELLO - Program Your Drone lets you control the Ryze Tello with a simple, diagram-based workflow. No programming skills are required—the app guides you to create a sequence of steps: move left/right/forward/back, rotate 5–360 degrees, adjust altitude, perform flips, change speed, and idle or step through states. The drone executes your diagram exactly, step by step, with support for metric (cm) or imperial (inch) units and based on the official Ryze Tech SDK.

You can save diagrams or share them with friends to test on their own Tello. The number of steps is unlimited, and commands can be edited, deleted, and reordered via drag-and-drop. The PRO version unlocks additional features inside the app.

## Review summary

The TELLO programming app is fun and educational, with a friendly interface and good value at a small price. It’s seen as a useful tool for teaching kids about UAV flight. However, users repeatedly complain about paywalls that lock most controls, lack of camera/video features, and reliability issues like crashes or failed connections. Overall, it delivers an enjoyable programming experience but is hampered by feature restrictions and stability problems, limiting its usefulness for serious use or for users expecting full camera/function control.

### Pros

- Fun to use and engaging for learning, especially for kids.
- Educational value for teaching UAV flight control concepts.
- Affordable price for the capabilities (good value at a small cost).
- User-friendly/interface that's easy to navigate.

### Cons

- Paywall: most controls require a paid Pro version.
- Missing camera controls / video and photo functions.
- Reliability issues: crashes, freezes, and connection problems.
- Limited functionality unless you pay; basic commands are available but others require purchase.
