FLIGHT RECORDER COMPATIBILITY To use all the features linked to the Flight Recorder, you need to plug it above the battery. It is extremely important that the Flight Recorder is exactly just above the battery and not elsewhere to get the best of it. Please check our videos on www.parrot.com A new piloting mode has been developed. When you click on the earth icon on top right corner of the piloting interface, a map appears on the screen. This is the map around your location. Choose a point on the map, set the speed, set the altitude and click “GO”. The AR.Drone 2.0 starts its flight to get to this point. The AR.Drone 2.0 stays within the Wi-Fi range from your iDevice. The “Return Home” functionality helps to get his AR.Drone 2.0 back to the take-off location automatically. Review in 3D all your flights made with the Flight Recorder connected to your AR.Drone 2.0 on the AR.Drone Academy map. Get a better stabilization for the static point when you fly in high altitudes thanks to the GPS positioning of the Flight Recorder. The Flight Recorder registers more than 350 different flight data.

RESCUE MODE Stuck in a tree? Just try the “Rescue mode” directly from the piloting interface to try to unblock the AR.Drone 2.0 from the branches. Even if it is upside down, the propellers will spin so you have new possibilities to make an action while your AR.Drone is not reachable.

This app is for iOS 6 and higher.

Never once had the app worked properly
     
by Collinj1360 · January 17, 2023

I was gifted a previously used drone. The drone was fine but I could never seem to get the app to connect to the drone properly. I have not been able to use my drone successfully because of this

Once in a blue moon the app will connect to the drone. Update you program or delete the thing. The people who use this old program or some of your first supporters. Please continue to support them.

I’m so mad right now

Every single time I try to connect it it doesn’t connect And it was already broken when I got into the box one star

Doesn’t work anymore.

Used to work and was fun. Now it doesn’t work at all. Drone connects but buttons won’t do anything.

Literally the worst app I’ve installed on my phone
     
by lancef22 · July 28, 2022

App never connects to the drone, says I need to connect to the drone when I’m on its wi-fi network, and randomly says “control not available” for the like 2 or 3 times it actually does, and on top of that it will randomly freeze. It froze up at least 7 times out of the 10 relaunches I’ve tried connecting this drone for.

Glitchy

Almost never works correctly

Not compatible with years of IOS updates!
     
by JunglistAtLarge · June 17, 2023

If you have a newer iPhone, don’t bother. Your Parrot AR is now a 10 year old brushed motor drone that simply can not fly with newer versions of IOS. Parrot who sold a several hundred dollar brushed drone that costs in the 4-5$ range to build primarily because of the lipo (along with packaging which costed more). Parrot I can appreciate making drones for the extremely new pilot. As the simplicity is decent. Yet DJI, Yuneec, Autel, (list goes on for days), have always made better products)! Both cheaper, better, and meant to last. Parrot hasn’t even bothered to make firmware compatible with a new version of IOS. I’d assume because the general consensus by Patriot is nobody would even own an AR any longer, or they want you to purchase a new drone made by them. (Thanks from an FAA 107 licensed pilot for making a piece of 🗑️)! Disappointing can’t even begin to define where I stand with their app/all of the Parrot drones in which at my job I worked at for several years when one was brought in we simply took a look, told them sorry. Then decided that it was only fair to give them a better drone at 5-10$ above our costs. Mind you the retail markup on most RC products is around the 100% range.
