Review summary

Users broadly say the RUKO GPS app can be beginner-friendly and affordable, with some noting it works well out of the box or after updates. However, a large number report serious connectivity and calibration problems: inability to connect the app to the drone, "enter device" errors, failed compass calibration, and recalibration needs after each power cycle. Several reviews also mention loss of photo/video capability, reliability declines after updates, and occasional crashes or non-functionality despite hardware being okay. Overall sentiment is split: improved updates for many, but persistent, critical app-Drone compatibility issues for others.

Pros

Beginner-friendly and easy to use
Works well out of the box for many users
Good value for the price
Updates have improved the app over time

Cons

Frequent connectivity/pairing issues; app often can't connect to the drone or shows "enter device" and blocks flying
Calibration problems; compass won't calibrate or requires recalibration after some flights
Inability to capture photos or video due to phone connection problems
Reliability issues; stops working after weeks or after updates
Unstable flight or crashes attributed to app issues or poor control

2024-10-20	mr*****	I tried flying it. I put in fully charged battery and paired it on the drone WiFi and all that and when I go into the app it just says “enter device” and doesn’t change to go flying. I went without the app and flew it for 1 minute and it just fell out of the sky. FIX IT NOW.

2024-01-16	Jo*****	This is a great entry level drone and app! It worked perfectly out of the box with simple and easy to understand directions. I didn’t experience any of the issues that other people have listed with this drone.

2023-12-27	L2*****	Got this drone for Christmas and I never had a problem until now. The drone is a good product it’s just the app that gives me problems. When I’m ready to fly my drone and I press “enter device” I get 2 options which won’t even let me fly my drone. Usually pressing that button would lead me to calibration mode but not anymore. I’ve tried closing and reopening the app, uninstall and reinstalling the app but nothing is working. Please fix this problem.

2023-12-09	Je*****	Great app works well. I’ve never had a drone before and the app worked great with the drone. Everything worked as it should. I have not had any issues with it connecting to the drone. Well worth it for the price I paid for the drone. Great bang for your buck.

2023-06-17	I *****	So, a lot of these reviews are old, and I’m assuming they’ve made plenty of updates, because it runs pretty smooth for me, I mean it’s a little difficult sometimes, but not as bad as some people are saying it is.

2023-05-11	An*****	The app feels like it was written by a first year high school computer science student. It is extremely difficult to get the drone to fly more than 5m up. it just holds there and then goes wildly up and down, crashing into the ground. (while holding up the entire time, with a fully charged battery on everything, and GPS connected, and right next to the drone). I'm not going to lie, this was one of my first drones and it really put me off from flying anymore in the future. It is unusable in its current state. Waste of money
