Observation:
The Go and Go4 apps have grown with time. They have more features than they did when they came out. DJI has responded, I'm sure, to problems that have been reported here on the forum. They have never been good at publicly admitting any fault by accepting that there is a bug or a better logic path needs to be used here or there. For a device, I'm in the same boat as you, and I accept it. I bought the most expensive device I could afford at the time to get a larger screen size. I knew that would likely bite me in the rear in the long run. Going cheap is rarely worth it down the road. The program is going t grow. As of last week, it has grown to the point where I'm having to update my device. I couldn't do the last update! Why? Because there wasn't enough storage available on my iPad, even after deleting all "data" from other programs. I've been using my iPad Mini2 for three years to fly, and been very happy with it. I have 3 programs that alone take 10gig of its 16gig memory. Two of those are DJI apps. I have since learned how to clean out things that are "buried" in the programs. Of course, that means they are not available anymore, but at least there is now room to do upgrades. Due to all of this, I'm updating the pad to a Mini4 128 tomorrow. It has more memory and a faster processor, as well as a better screen (I'm told).
Now here's a point that I've been wondering about for a long time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but It seems to me that Go4 is used with most all of the DJI line after the Phantom series. That means they've added new code segments for the Osmo, Spark, Air, and all of the other aircraft they have added to the line. Why is it all in the same program? It seems to me that a nice lean program for each specific product would be in order, rather than asking users to keep upgrading their hardware just to be able to keep flying something that they've had in the air for over a year or more already. Go4 is getting to be a bloated, power hungry program. Does it HAVE to be? |
