App won't open on newer phones
this app is absolute garbage ended up frying my solo it did an upgrade on my drone then my drone started to over heat no clue what caused it but tech support didn't get back to me about the issue and google won't refund me ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY it definitely happened and this is why I have opened a case over the issue first time i ever used the app because of just getting the drone and it was previously ran on solex pre update last year I no longer have this app on any of my devices I use dji
I couldn't connect my 3dr solo to solex help needed
Got this for my 3DR drone, but it doesn't work. I tried to get a hold of the owner through the email provided to get my money back, and l have not heard anything back.
The app cannot connect to my drone even after connecting to the sololi k. Wifi from my phone. Why?
Does not work. Tried on several devices. Don't waste your money. Wouldn't even recognize my 3dr. Please refund!
Do Not Buy! Can't fly your 3DR Solo with this app. This app can not calibrate the IMU because of a UI bug, and the app and author have no contact information or URL. No responses here since 2021. Abandonware? My 3DR Solo flew fine on the stock firmware, but can't fly any more after this "upgrade" with Solex. "Something else that works is contacting the developer through some means other than the app store comments section. " Such as what? Even the domain is gone.
No me sirvio para mí drone SOLO EDR
Will not connect to my solo
Not really happy about this app I have a 3dr solo drone and I wanted to make use of all the things so downloaded this app and it will not connect to my drone can anyone help with this please
Absolutely sucks
Got a solo and lots of reviews saying this app works. I downloaded the app, but nowhere can I update the solo 3dr preflight update....going to ask for refund unless there is a way to do a preflight update with this app. Wl change to 5 star if I am able to get the solo to work
Would not work
developer is a dick
Why is my screen dark on the download page? I can't see what I am clicking, I feel like this will end up being a brick because of this
Having issue connecting to wifi . Left message but got no reply yet
I bought this app thinking it was going to be better than the regular one but a can't use it,it keeps saying that it doesn't support video so i can't use my camera,waste of money...i would change my feedback if they fix it o do something about it,by the way there is no other way to contact support..
I paid 30 dollars for this for it not to work. No features work it keeps saying hope you are enjoying this app apparently it was free. Help please
worth it Change rating due to silly warning msg
Wont recognise my solo but knows its connected by wifi to the solo link. Went out and bought a new android phone specifically to run this app now that tower doesnt work and I am left disappointed that a $30 app doesn't work but qgroundcontrol which is free, does work.
This is the easiest way to continue flying the 3dr solo but be forewarned EVERYTIME I land it touches down and then does a flip crash. YIKES!
How do I get info on connect ing this to my 3drsolo.i can't find instructions.
I'm getting the failure VIDEO NOT SUPPORTED, my 3DR Solo has a go pro 3+ camera. How can I get video? If I would find anywhere how to contact the developer it would be great!!
