Smart Helicopter App Reviews

This app doesnt work under iOS 5 because the dongle could not be activated. With my iPod under iOS 4.2 it works as expected. Because of this only 2 Stars.

Its good with my new helicopter but I HATE the left controller stick. For example it stays where you last left it instead of coming back down like a real controller. Please fix and ill change to 5 stars.

I disagree with RexSpoof. I like being able to lock the throttle in a steady state without it bouncing back to zero. Perhaps adding a feature where locking the throttle could be turned off/on would be best so as to satisfy everyone? Also, the light control doesnt seem to do anything for me. Does anyone else see this issue? What is the light control supposed to do? (reason for 4 stars) Would it be possible to add an auto hover preset? Other than that, my little helicopter is fantastic. Takes some time to get used to the sensitivity of the controls but once you get the knack of the handling, it is loads if fun to play with. THANK YOU GROUPON!!!

The controller seems to work fine except the light toggle does not turn the lights on and off and actually guns the throttle for a second.

Who ever made this helicopter should really consider outsourcing to countries that actually make sturdy products, Ive had the helicopter for 5 minutes and the charge slot on it has popped out and there no means of fixing it, just an awful waste of money, please refund me

Mine arrived with a non-functioning tail rotor. Controlling the helicopter is impossible....its on the bookcase shelf after 5 minutes...dont bother !!!!

Its not work with my Mota Helicopter!!

Doesnt seem to move forward, works left/right and back just fine. Light button does nothing. Its a fun little toy...for the 5 minutes the battery lasts...

Everything seems to work out of box. A few niggles - the light in the chargin cable seems indicate the opposite if the manual ie it goes off when charging and on when fully charged. - the light button on the control does absolutely nothing please remove or provide update to allow u to switch off the lights. - the throttle does not lock for me. It stays locked on on the control but the helicopter slowly loses climb. I have constantly adjust up and down to keep the helicopter hovering. Finally I do fear for the quality- the charging cable itself looks like a mcGyver job at best and looking at the flimsy tail rotor does not inspire confidence. I dont know why anyone would ever pay an apparent full price of $110+ ??? I doubt these units were ever sold at that price Good points ! It is fun to play with and the app does work as workable control The copter comes with a screwdriver for bacteria sized screws and 2 spare rotor blades and a spare tail rotor If you manage to get used to the controls - I strongly suggest wide open INDOOR space and a softly softly approach its a great toy ( for however long it lasts)

$32 via groupon. Use in large indoor space while learning/tuning. Great fun. 5 minute fly time per charge is a plus for me, as it creates manageable sharing for kids. Fly it til it needs charging, then pass it on. Wait for a full charge or you get a short turn. Very nice this way. Cant quite get mine to hold steady, always a slight drift. Tuned the rotate to nil, but still a drift. Acceptable, especially at the price. As mentioned elsewhere, light switch does not turn off lights. On mine it causes a throttle surge!

Quality isnt terrible for 32.00. For 119.00 it would be crap. Light control guns throttle...

I have the exact problem with the charger,light,and losing climb its totally normal. But besides that it is the best.

The helicopter was awesome for the first 5 minutes then went outside and. Controller wont work and chopper just went super high and now stuck on a tree and wont budge . :( if youre using this dont use outside

What piece of junk ... Doesnt work at all ... Ever... Never!!!

Light control guns throttle, hard to tune/adjust. With a few tweaks this could be awesome.

Piece of crap, doesnt work at all, waste of money

First flight: straight up no responce to controller until out of range, fell into tree. Second flight: straight up full power no responce to controller until out of range, fell onto pavement Third flight- me throwing it in garbage. Holding it in my hand and the controller in the other, there is about 30 seconds of lag time between adjusting throttle, or direction, and actually seeing the motors change speed

Purchased through groupon but waste of money. Wont be doing that again. I got one flight and the USB charger doesnt charge. Seemed like a good deal but too good to be true. Copter doesnt even hover hits the wall and crashes.

I have NO idea why there are sooo many losers which gave LOW RATING. It works exceptionally well. You do have to practice a little before you start enjoying it!!!!!! PS .this helicopter is designed for indoor use NOT outdoor (I saw a negative comment from an idiot who took it outside)

Works great got the helicopter for my b day and its AMAZING!
