Do Not Update! – FreeFlight Pro. Review

Issues: * RECORDED VIDEO IS ONLY 720p 15 Mbps instead of 1080p 30 Mbps (on Bebop2). * App sometimes crashes (quits) when you touch the gear icon to go to Settings, and when you pick the Video settings. * On iPad mini the Piloting settings page has controls that are off screen--you have to scroll to see them. There is no visual indication there are controls off screen. On the iPhone's smaller display the Network settings page also has the same issue. * With the hierarchical menu for settings you can no longer swipe through the settings pages to review them before take off. You have to touch each page's icon in the settings icon bar, which from Fitt's law is not as rapid as a swipe anywhere on the screen. Makes preflight less convenient. (For the iPhone it is even worse since you have to scroll the settings menu icon bar to see the Network settings icon to pick that page.) * Readability of settings screens in outdoor use is fair to poor. Needs better font (larger & heavier). Needs better contrast, especially for grayed items such as unselected buttons, which are dark gray text on darker gray background. There are some good points though: * Settings are in a hierarchical menu structure so you can go to the settings page you want rather than paging through them. Good if you need to quickly change one thing. * Camera settings available directly from flight screen instead of having to go through settings menu. * No longer plays video ad!
