It is no quite what I expected. The video is slow and choppy. There is no capability of raising the camera. However, camera control of exposure is not bad.

So far good ap.
Everyday Use

Pro: works well and utilize Internet access to Rovio too. I like the Rovio phrases. Worth buying if you own Rovio. Con: no iPad tilt feature capability to move Rovio and Rovio's easy 360 turn feature is not available. Only turn left and right stick and gliding stick on the right side for control.

Awesome!

I've tried several other Rovio apps, and this by far is the best! Just the ease of control is worth using it, not to mention the other features. Nice work!

Good app.

Very nice app. There is not a better Rovio controller outside of a a teal computer. Just one complaint 1) no way to stop the HOME command once it starts. If I change my mind, or my dog knocks the sensor, Rovio just spins forever trying to find home. The voice commands are cool although sometimes it repeats itself. What would be great would be if Rovio could play a PHRASE THAT I TYPE. that would be wicked cool. Other apps have voice generators, why can't this one.

(Used to be) Solid - Update

Update: unfortunately the new version almost makes the app unusable. I'm on ios6 and the previous version ran fine, but as soon as I updated the app the video streaming became laggy like a slideshow. The new video brightness feature is a welcome feature. I will be using that a lot if the video lag gets fixed. *****old review**** This app is a must-buy for Rovio owners. The video feed is better than the browser app! However a few gripes: 1.)The sound clip function plays static more often than not. 2.)Needs more precise control options. It can be hard to control with the virtual joystick when it lags. Still a stellar app though!
