I think it is like airplane/jet "check" list. Like real airplanes/jets would have to make sure it is aok with everything. People take this hobby very seriously and have spent a lot of time with it and consider themselves professionals. Some of them have pre-flight check lists before they even turn their UAV's on. I like having it there. I scroll through and look at everything every flight.
It keeps people from being lax in checking out their drone and makes them at least look at it. If they just close it then it's on them if something isn't right.
Since we're counting opinions here. I have a mental checklist that I go through EVERY flight. Props, batteries, App, phone, cable, settings... I like the list showing up and like others here, I scroll through it. If I can't hit the "X" in the corner, I scoot the phone down a bit in the brackets so that I can hit the "X" and I can also hit the 3 dots in the upper right corner during flight if I need to.
But a lot of people complain about the Go4 App and some of it's functionality. I'd rather have the list pop up so that I can scroll through and check one last time before flying than trust an App to tell me "Oh, go ahead and fly.... I've checked everything and you're ok here..."
And yes, I have no problem with the option to turn this off if needed, however I won't be hitting it. I prefer to follow my checklist. |
