Don't believe everything you read and these reviews are mainly people that do not have a lot of experience IMO. Think about all of the entry level pilots out there just getting started with a new 999 dollar Mavic ?@#^* most of them have never flown a drone before.....
I have not had any trouble with the DJI GO App 4.02 and didn't write a review. I have flown my Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 without and problems. I do not own the I2 yet but have 2 Inspire 1's. I was using my IPhone 7 and iPad mini 4 and they work great for me.
I'm with you on this one Rich. The app is completely unnecessary for safe flight, flying out of visible line of site is where the danger is introduced. Just because your machine has a 7km range does not mean it is safe to do so. Similarly, if you have a Ferrari F40 capable of 200+mph and you push it to its limits and destroy it in an accident, no point in complaining to the manufacturer. Ferrari is not responsible for the guy who pulled out in front of you the same as DJI are not responsible if your tablet fails. If you loose your live feed for whatever reason (tablet battery dies, USB cable gets snagged, tablet gets knocked to the floor etc. etc.) it should be an inconvenience only, not a danger as you should be flying in such a manner that you don't need it.
If thrills is what you're after, shred those tyres off that F40 and fly that bird way out past that second island but when that dog runs out in front of you or jumps up to say hello (knocking your I-Pad to the floor) what you gonna do?
Be safe or be lucky dudes!
