The AR mobile app is not capatible with IO8 - are they updating it? If not, can the drone be used without the app?

I haven't flown it this winter with my iPhone so don't know about Apple. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I normally use my Galaxy S5

Yes & yes or you can do your self a favor and stop using Apple products since Apple doesn't play well with others

The drone hosts a WiFi network your device can connect to. You won't have internet access while your controlling it.

The main reason is that the AR.Drone provides live video streaming from the nose right to your phone or ipad. Videos are saved on your device. Second, is that the drone provides a lot of flight features, hovering, and soon GPS return to home, and some other things. More comprehensive control versus the microcopters. Flight time can be up to ten minutes.

Currently there is no work around that I've found. I'm not using iOS 8.0.2 and it still does not work. Hoping iOS 8.1 will fix the software issue.

its got the older connection to iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S. Maybe there is an adapter? Have you contacted Rode? I've heard their support is very good. You could also visit the Tape Op message board and inquire there. There are people who know tons, and Tape Op is where I hheard of the iXY in the first place, due to one of their reviews. Hope this helps a little bit.

I have not looked at the radio shack drone so I am unable to give you an answer - sorry I could not help.

If you mean can you drive it based on GPS, NO. Though it is a DJI NAZA Unit and so I see no reason why you can't plug in a arduino pilot and give it some waypoints. If you are talking about staying on point at a location (GPS Lock) YES - In GPS mode it is very responsive and when you let go of the controls it stops in mid air and hovers even in wind (18 mph today and kept within 1 meter) Tried that with the Blade 350 QX and was disappointed (more like 4 meters) pretty iffy.

The ar drone acts like its own wi-fi. When u plug in the battery u have to open the wi-fi menu on ur phone or tablet and select the drone from available hot spots and then open the app to control the drone

The one you show in the picture is not the latest version. The one you want is the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +. It come ready to fly with the controller that holds your cell phone. I bought a carry case, 2 extra batteries and a 32GB Micro SD card. Plus 8 extra propellors (I've already broken 3). The way to turn the motors off is to move the left throttle down to the bottom position and hold for 3 seconds. I have also had great fun with having one person fly while a second person works the camera from my iPad.

Not on Parrots own android app at this time. The current version is AR.FreeFlight 2.3.3. The new version (AR Freeflight 2.4)which parrot said would be available in October hasn't been released as of today. When it is released you will be able to fully utilize the Flight Recorder's GPS and all other functions. There are other apps on Google Play which already are capable of using the flight recorder, but they are pay apps. Hope this helps

Tried using it with Jeppview flight deck on my iPad but the map was intermittent ....looking for a better stand alone system for the flight deck....good luck

I have never heard of V3.0. That is the Vision 2 not the later version Vision 2+. The one you show will not have an FPV (first person view) so that you can look at what the camera sees on your controller through an iPhone or droid app. Even on your iPad. You will need to spend $540 for the controller that comes with a viewing screen. You will also have to put the gimbal assembly together yourself. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ comes complete and ready to fly with a very good 1080p camera. But it is not a GoPro Hero.

Phantom 2 vision! Ar drone is a toy. I have one and don't care for it except as a learning step or for a kid. The range is terrible and fly aways are easy. Mine flew away twice . I was fortunate to get it back.

I use it with a different flight navigation app and it works. I have 3 friends who use it with Foreflight and it works. I'd try restarting the app or mabe even re-installing it.

The wireless works with the program on the iPAD, but the scope still does not align right. It uses the GPS off the iPAD, but the scope is always off by 90 degrees. Same symptoms as the last version of software.
