Can't say I've had any problem with DJI Go 4 up to and including the current version) on any of my iOS devices (iPhone 7, iPad AIr 2 and iPad Pro 10.5). And I think I've done a decent amount of flying with it.I suspect the problem with Android version is there are so many different versions of hardware out there for Android, and on top of that the different versions of Android (plain Android, vendors' Android, some skinned, some total re-write based on base Android) as well as hacked versions, that it must be difficult to develop for all possible permutations.
Apple is accused of having a closed system, but it makes it easier to predict what to expect. Most of the complains for the iOS app is regarding firmware upgrade (would you seriously upgrade your firmware just before an important trip and not test it, or upgrade in the field? Seriosly?!), sign in or internet connection problems and in one case, the editor.
You can of course use some other software if you don't like DJI Go 4. I'm sure there are options in Android.
I agree with you statements, and the correspond to mine. If you are to use the Mavic with an IOS device I would be much more inclined to recommend the Mavic. The causes of the problems with the Android version are moot when it comes to a purchase decision. I'm just saying that you shouldn't purchase the Mavic with an Android device and bet that DJI is going to eventually get it right as thousands of other developers do. |
