there's nothing wrong with litchi. litchi is a fantastic and powerful app.
why troll? maybe because you never got your p3 repaired or a free one after crashing it into the water.

Hello.  I have a Mavic Pro Platinum and am interested in the Litchi app.  
Two questions basically.
1) It works well with the Mavic Pro?  Bugs?
2) How many devices can I use this app with?
     I have a Galaxy S9+ and a Galaxy 10# Tab A
     And a PC Laptop.  

Will it cost me $25 per device?  Or can I use either of them by logging in.

I have used the Litchi App a couple of dozen times and found it to be reliable with the exception that when it reaches its last waypoint it doesn’t always return to home, instead it chooses to land , and I manually have to fly it to to home, never take your eyes off it when landing

Sorry but Litchi has nothing to do with when the AC "chooses to land."  The AC does not choose anything.  It follows the commands that were given to it when the mission was uploaded to the AC.  If the AC is landing, you must have ordered it to land within the Litchi mission parameters.  Or it went into critical low battery auto-land.  

Litchi missions are not something to take lightly.  You must make every waypoint very carefully.  You must check all parameters very carefully.  You must take your time and make extra double sure that everything is perfect.  What about trees?  Buildings?  What about ground elevation changes?  Is it going to be windy?  Will you have enough battery for the length of flight?  Don't trust the time allowance stated.  Allow some extra time within the mission to finish the mission and to take control and land as necessary.  Be sure that the last waypoint is easily visible from your vantage point so that you will see it when the mission is over.  When you're sure everything is absolutely perfect and there are no mistakes, check everything at least one more time.  Only then should you consider running your mission.

I like to plan my missions from my desktop.  That way I can take my time without worrying about the flight battery, app crashes, sunlight blinding the screen, poison ivy, sting weed, leeches, yellow jackets, fire ants, deer ticks, venemous spiders, snake bites, and rabid raccoons.  Plan very carefully in a relaxed manner.  When done, save the mission.  Then download to your mobile device app or to your desktop and then to your mobile device.  Finally, go outside.  Start everything up again.   Upload the mission from the mobile device to the AC.  Launch.  

Or you can launch manually and then start the mission.  

Good luck

I use it and I like the option to plan my missions on my computer, then go fly them. Also, it's nice to have a 'backup' app to fly your drone when the DJI firmware gets wonky. If you have issues with DJI GO, you can switch to Litchi and fly. The waypoints on Litchi are so much better than DJI's firmware. You can plan the altitude, speed, pitch, focus point, curve and so much more on each waypoint on Litchi, especially if you plot them out on your computer first then upload the 'mission' once you get to your destination. Then you just fly the mission and the software takes over. Also, the folks that complain about paying that much for an app after the amount of money they spent on their drone - I just don't get it. It's nothing compared to the cost of the drone. Another good app is AutoPilot but it is not as user friendly as Litchi. I've never had a problem with Litchi and I've used it for 3 years - Phantom and Mavic.

How do I connect my digital elevation map to the mission hub?

You need a good phone quite powerful, but I have had this app for a while seems OK, but, have not used it in about 10 months and after paying for lifetime purchase, It's now saying I have to pay to using it, so what gone wrong here I ask! WHAT!

I don't think Litchi works with DJI drones anymore.  I have not been able to fly a mission for weeks.  I keep getting: invalid shoot photo.  The mission will not load and the drone will not take off.  I think DJI may have disabled the use of third party apps.

It works fine, I just used litchi about 20min ago with my P4P and my Inspire 2.

I don't use go4 anymore, just Litchi now.

Actually, I'm getting the new tablet to run Litchi.

I bought a Galaxy Tab S2 just for flying my P4 back in 2016, as it had  the brightest screen available and was recommended for the GO app.  About a year later I was getting app disconnects with the GO app in the middle of flights, first time it happened the P4 was about 1km away out of sight so it was quite disconcerting.  I had installed Litchi on the S2 but had not tried it yet, and then switched to an iPad mini after DJI stopped supporting the Samsung for the GO app.

Then recently I decided to finally try Litchi on the Samsung with my old P4, having bought a P4A as well. I removed the GO app from it, then tried a couple of short test flights with Litchi as well as some flying in FPV mode and it worked great.  I thought I had gotten a 2nd life for my S2 tablet.  Started doing some more longer missions with it and all was good.

Then the last time I used it, got a disconnect while on a mission, and had to wait until the P4 came back before I took control of it again, with no app. I tried restarting the litchi app a couple of times and it would not start up, or it would start up but not connect. I have pretty well used the S2 tablet for nothing else other than putting GO app and Litchi on it.

I may remove and reinstall Litchi, after doing a complete reset on the S2 and see what happens, but I'l having a hard time trusting it right now.  I may end up just getting another iPad mini as a second tablet for times I want to fly more than one bird at a time.

DJI have not stopped supporting Samsung, in fact they never supported them in the first place. DJI simply make an application designed to work within the Android platform framework. The trouble is the various phone manufacturers tinker with the Android system in order to make their products work better for their own purposes, and sometimes this causes them to stop working with the DJI apps. DJI cannot 'make' them work, it is the responsibility of the phone manufacturer.

Supporting was a poor choice of words. When I bought my first Phantom 4 the Samsung S2 10" tablet was on the "approved" list of devices to run the GO app on. About a year (or so) later it wasn't.

I do remember with one of the GO4 app upgrades a message popping up warning that the app may not be compatible with the device any more. That's when I went and bought the iPad mini 4.

So, it's been my experience that ios devices are more reliable (for the GO app) than Android devices.

I would agree with that because there is only one manufacturer building devices with an iOS operating system, so it is much easier to design for.

I used Litchi with a Spark and was initially very impressed with the ability to use waypoints. I ran a few small missions with the drone in sight and everything did as it was supposed to. I then planned a longer mission but the drone lost signal and RTH. There is an option in Litchi that allows for the drone to continue with a waypoint mission when signal is lost, i.e. it will run the mission and then RTH if this is what you have selected to occur at the end of the mission. I tested this on a short in sight mission by launching the drone and then turning off the Remote Controller. The Spark performed the mission flawlessly and RTH at the end, even with the Controller turned off. OK, so I sent it on a longer mission, well within the drones capabilities but I knew that signal loss would occur, the drone took off and followed the waypoints and went out of sight until i received a warning that signal loss had occurred. This is the last that I saw of it, never returned, even low battery failsafe did not work. My advice is be very cautious when using third party apps like Litchi, advice that is frequently given out by the DJI moderators in this forum.

Litchi For DJI is fantastic. I use it for waypoint missions with my Mavic Air. Team this up with VLM, “Virtual Litchi Mission”, and 3-D Google Earth, both free downloads, and you have a fantastic package for creating and then simulating your mission using 3-D Google earth on your PC. This will let you fly your mission on your computer and then fine-tune your Litchi missions and see what your videos will look like before you go to the field and fly.  Very easy to use.

I just loaded the Litchi App for Mavic Air. I don't know if I am posting in the right place, but if not I am sure someone will tell me where to go.

I have the Litchi App running and connected in GPS mode, but I cannot start the rotors.
Is there some place that I have to tell Litchi which drone I am flying or is there a different command other than both stick down and to the center?
Thanks.

If you want to take your drone experience to the next level then by all means get Litchi.  The Waypoint feature is fantastic!  It's easy to learn, you can create missions on your computer or device, & you can achieve results that are impossible with manual flight.  Highly recommended.

Thanks!  The audio tracks are songs selected from my personal audio library.   Track titles are usually listed in the end credits or the video description.  As long as you don't monetize your video, YouTube generally allows you to use copyrighted audio in your videos.  There are exceptions but I've only come across a few songs that are restricted.  YouTube offers a copyright checker so you can check in advance.

DB!  WB.  Youtube has changed quite a bit.  They started changing things last summer.  They decided the original music artists aren't going to get paid anymore from YT vids, and instead that money will go to the creator of the vid.  So the original artists pretty much as a whole have given YT the middle finger and the vast majority of them don't allow their music into anybody's vid anymore.  You really have to hunt to find a track that's allowed.  It takes a ridiculous amount of time to find a track that's allowed.  In addition, YT's music policy page which you can use to search for a copyright problem before you put a track in your vid only works about half the time now - probably because of bandwidth problems.  And finally, YT has just recently announced they are shutting that YT music policy page down completely very soon, which means it'll be hit and miss with our favorite tracks.  This means you have no idea if the music you're using is allowed until you create the vid and upload the vid to YT and then they block it.  I am not happy with any of this.  There is one loophole though.  If you can find somebody on YT who does a cover of the song you want to use (and it sounds good enough), you can jack that track off YT and use it in your vid.

Hello with Litchi can the Drone go outside of the remote's range? If I program Way points around a building where I know there's no signal, will the drone continue its mission or will it attempt to RTH when it disconnects?
Many thanks

what is the prerequisite for litchi to run on an Android tablet?   will litchi run on this tablet? link below also the tablet is 1000 nit ...so i can see the tablet in bright sunlight?
do you think the DJI GO 4   will run on this tablet.  ?     does Litchi support the go home function when the signal is lost.https://www.xenarcdirect.com/RT7 ... L_pBN4aAnK1EALw_wcB

one feature i like w/ the DJI Go is the picture in picture map w/ the home point that is in the corner when flying first person. Sometimes when i fly out of sight i get confused when flying back and i can tap the map and the map is the main display and the FP becomes the PIP and then fly back to my home point using the map. Part of this is i am using my samsung S8+ phone and also the sunlight. I mostly stand in the shade. I think people think i am hiding and up to something....ha ha ha.

oh yeah  one more question  . i have a spark  if i get the above tablet.....what should i get to mount it to the controller?   thanks
