## Review summary

Drone Scanner on iOS works well for Bluetooth-based RID, showing IDs and telemetry with a clean UI, and is handy for testing. However, it largely fails for WiFi RID drones (notably DJI) on iOS, is inconsistently reliable, and raises privacy concerns, making its usefulness limited to Bluetooth RID scenarios.

### Pros

- Reads Bluetooth-based Remote ID data and displays telemetry, including FAA ID and parameters.
- Easy to use with a clean, intuitive GUI.
- Useful for RID compliance testing and professional workflows.
- Detects non-DJI Bluetooth RID devices (e.g., Ruko) without external hardware.

### Cons

- No WiFi RID support on iOS; DJI and many drones using WiFi RID are not detected.
- Reliability is inconsistent; drones may not be detected or data may be missing across flights.
- Privacy concerns due to unclear data-sharing practices.
