Not bad per sé.
Since that removes a lot of the rubbish you get on Android phones these days.

Yes,  its a very cut down experience.  The screen is really bright too which is nice.

Cut down as in, limited?

Cut down in you only really have the DJI apps,  theres no other stuff like YouTube or weather apps etc.

Check.
And is that negative, or positive in your book?

Positive I think,   I can add the apps I need but I dont want to clutter it up.

I feel the same.
But I am back already.
Drizzling quite a bit.

It’s cleared a bit now and got a couple of flights in with the smart controller.

M2 or M2P?

Couple with the mini 2.  

Montfrooij Posted at 12-3 00:19
It is interesting to see this pattern with every DJI release (and I feel it works the same with any other complex tech product release).

There are things 'wrong' with the new product (bugs) that the manufacturer somehow missed and they really should fix it. People complain about that and that is quite logical. Usually they are quietly fixed in updates.

I don't disagree with your thinking.  However, from my point of view the M3 was rushed to market to be in time for the annual Christmas buying frenzy.  It is a good product but quite unfinished in functions at this time.  Which is why I delayed purchasing the M3 and still may not buy.  

DAFlys Posted at 12-4 04:30

So it has both the go4 and the fly app.

That could be very true indeed.

It does make me wonder why it takes so long for these functions to be implemented.
One would think they had that ready with the previous drones.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-4 11:46

Yes both apps.  But you have to also switch between drones first.  Theres one menu to pick the drone to fly and then you go into the right app to fly it.

Prime example is Air 2S.  Had all the missing functions from M3.  Not sure why this could not have been implemented prior to release to market of the M3.  Seems like DJI has created quite the negative buzz on their latest drone.

It looks like they have to make it all again to be able to work with the M3, which is strange.

Ah ok, that's how they did it.
If I'm not mistaken, I think I remember people complaining about late updates compared to the regular apps.
But that could also have been with crystalsky.

The smart controller firmware has been slow to release but the later versions on the Fly app update now without the whole controller updating.

Better for the Fly app but not the g04 app,   although I cant see that getting much updates now.

We had one update on IOS not long ago for IOS15 compatibility so Im staying hopeful.

Oh yes, they will have to support it with these updates. But I doubt it will get more 'features'.

As long as it keeps running then Im happy.   One of my reasons for the smart controller,   It locks in the current drones and I dont need to worry another upgrade is going to cut one off.

That is a valid reason I think.
Although you will probably run out of batteries before the app is not working anymore on a regular device.

Hopefully but I was avoiding the risk of it.

I would have thought that a lot of the Fly App code for the Air 2S would have worked for the M3 but I guess that what I get for thinking.  

With Chinese New Year coming up in February I'm sure they are under pressure to get the firmware update out and with as minimal bugs as possible.  Hopefully, it will not end up being a scenario of where they issue the firmware update the day before they take 2 weeks off for Chinese New Year.

I thought so too.

Indeed, that would not be ideal
