I have used litchi a lot. It's a great app
For autonomous flying way point missions it's very simple, you can set your mission from home , you can literally draw your plan with your finger and set your waypoints and POI ,for smooth flying it's exceptional.
For pano again it's very easy, you can also shoot 360x180 panos
These options are much simpler in litchi than dji go
You can also do track and orbit flying, but you can easily do these in dji go.
For €20 it's great value and they are continually updating the app.

Yup! I've just bought it. Don't be fooled by the title description, which mentions DJI's other drones, but omits the Mavic. The v.1.14 version notes spell out Mavic integration. Have the app. Now  All I need is the Mavic

Mavic is already crashing with its own software.. you wanna crash it with a third party app and not being covered by the warranty? You must be crazy.

So no support for Mavic + Android at the moment.  
For those of you who use it already...  Seemingly you use the Litchi app in lieu of the DJI Go app.  How does this integrate with the Mavic controller, is it essentially the same? Given that one is no longer using DJI Go do you still have the various smart protections available. Like low battery RTH and obstacle avoidance?
Online planner looks great. If nothing else for Android users who cannot use Litchi, it is still good for working out the length of planned routes.

Yes you still have RTH interface is similar, if you wish you can start up aircraft in dji go to check every thing is ok, then turn off and switch to litchi ,but really no need.
In litchi it has same symbols sats battery compass speed, and camera functions,also litchi has voice information. I.e. It will tell you by voice, your speed, height,signal battery power how far and how high you are from take off
It will also tell you if you have sd installed and if it's full.

i just bought the litchi app.  i like that it has more options to configure for the c1/c2/5d buttons.  for example you can set different options for pressing the c1/c2 button or c1/c2 long pressing it.  i you can also configure the 5d button press, which you can't do in the dji go app.
i have the c2 long press turn toggle on/off the front led lights.

Litchi is an incredibly useful app. I plot a mission in the house then head out and watch as my P3 does all the difficult stuff and captures impossibly steady shots. It's also quite a bit less bloated than DJI Go. If you do use it, I recommend not having both running simultaneously as I experienced problems with file corruption and gimbal misbehaviour when I had DJI Go in the background. Here's a fully autonomous flight last week with P3 Pro and Litchi, took about 5 minutes to program the flight

I wonder if this app could institute a manual switch to ATTI?
Also, I get up to Alaska quite a bit and usually have limited cell coverage and data is doubtful quite often.  How would this app work in that situation?

Litchi is great. And they are adding many Mavic related features at the moment in the IOS-Beta. So I think there will be a stable version, soon and they'll keep adding features in the near future.

Litchi operates same as Mavic it doesn't need cellular signal to work, however if you don't have cell conection, you won't have maps.

I was thinking about using litchi.
Will using a third party app void dji warranty or dji care?

No it doesn't, unless your crash was as a direct result of the app..

Very nice scenery, shooting and composition; well done!  Now if DJI and Litchi could just get the glass smooth yaw and pitch transitions of a 3DR Solo it would be even more cinematic.

My understanding is that Litchi uses open source software that has the approval of DJI and if anything were to go wrong whilst using it won't render warranty issues void.

I have just stated to use Litchi with the Mavic but it seems to work great so far.  It greatly expands your capabilities to shoot smooth video exactly where and how you want.

I have been using it since last march, it's a great edition to these aircraft, you should try doing some 360x180 panos they work great with litchi.
Good luck

When using Litchi app with Dji Mavic, how do you regain manual control if necessary? There is no F or P switch as there is with Inspire.

Switching to Sport mode is supposed to do it.

Hey Chad... great instructional... a question for a newbie please... I  have just received my Mavic, and grabbed the Litchi app for my ios phone. I find myself confused when reading the Litchi on-line manual where it says in Orbit and Track modes to change the Flight Mode switch to the F position (for Phantom 4 the P position) Can you suggest what I should select for my Macic?

Be aware about this litchi's notification due to a bug in the DJI firmware, Follow, Focus, Track and VR with Immersive/Joystick Head Tracking modes are no longer usable with the following drone models and firmware versions: Mavic Pro (v01.03.0500), Inspire 2 (v01.0.0240) and Phantom 4 Pro (v01.03.0418). If you are using one of these firmware versions and wish to continue using these flight modes, either downgrade to a previous firmware version using the DJI Assistant 2 or wait for DJI to release a new firmware that will fix this bug

Autopilot has a similar warning and this still has not been resolved.
