Fully agree. There are key tasks you should carry out frequently if not every time you fly. RTH Altitude is one of them, unless you leave it very high. Things like compass calibration, RTH altitude and mode (hover / land / RTH), max distance and max altitude should all be on a pop up screen that first appears when you start the app. This is simple, good design.
DJI-Ken, it's perfectly true to say that most RTH crashes are user error, but the cause is more user lack of knowledge. There is a large amount of things to consider and remember when you start flying. Good app design should guide users into making the right settings before each flight, without being buried down in multiple sub menus.
Finally, the 'top 10 causes of crashes' could be made clear in the introduction videos to highllight these issues. You can't always save people from their own actions, but you can at least try and educate them on the most common issues beforehand.
Cheers,
Ian
