Not really a DJI issue but still related to a DJI product, so I am hoping I can get some insight here. Because DJI Go 4 has constant app crashes on my K1, I have switched to Litchi for a much more stable experience. Yesterday, I was testing Active Tracking with Litchi and noticed the P4P constantly turned slightly left and right even when the subject being tracked was stationary. It was very windy but I am not sure that affected the function, as this was the first time I tested this mode with Litchi. I can say though that Active Tracking with DJI Go is far smoother. Keep in mind every other mode for Litchi seems flawless. Is this the same you have experienced between the two apps? If not, is there anything I can do to improve handling in Litchi?

Thank you.

Is Litchi really working better for your K1? I've just brought one and the DJi Go 4 app crashed 2 times on me. It was very scary because I was over water. Did you buy the full application or just use the free? Thanks for your help

I did try the Active Track on Litchi one time and the Phantom would constantly yaw left and right making it unusable. Other than that the app has worked flawslessly.

I'm using a P4P and reading the reviews has me more afraid of this application than the DJI app.

Yeah, the tracking is much smoother on DJI GO.

Yes! DJI Go 4 crashes 2 or 3 times per 1-battery flight. Litchi hasn't crashed even once since I installed it on the K1.

Thanks for confirming. I was afraid of that.

Thank you. Looks like I'll use DJI Go 4 just for Active Tracking but Litchi for everything else.

That's basically what I'm doing. Tripod mode is also a nice feature to use.

Ah yes! I have not tried that yet. Will do so as soon as this wet weather passes.

I've only had DJI Go crash once using Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 w/ Lollipop (The Lollipop part very important). I don't think I've had the Litche App crash. I like the DJI Go 4 better for general flying but if planing on using the the intelligent modes I use Litche (Except active track).

I downgraded the K1's rom to 1.5 yesterday and went back to Android 6 (marshmallow). Then I reinstalled DJI Go 4 and the app crashes seem to have stopped. I do get occasional breaks in the video feed now, but I can deal with that.
