Litchi for DJI Drones

Works for my phone when the DJI apps won't. (Google Pixel series) Love being able to set up waypoints, POIs, routes, etc from either my phone or the mission hub on my computer without having to connect to a drone. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Having flown my DJI Mavik Pro for 6 years using DJI Go4 without any issues at all, I was forced to change to Litchi as the DJI Go4 app was discontinued. The Litchi app has caused TWO crashes, one while landing, and the other immediately after take off. There is no plausible reason found for either of these incidents. Even though I have set the app for automatic updates, the screen images do NOT match those in the user manual. Ugh!

A well thought out fly app. Purchased and joined the beta program to gain features for my dji Mini 2, such as, follow me, tracking, and waypoint planned missions. I have run several flights in all modes , to include VR, without any incident or concern. Access to photos and videos through the app are not availble that I can see. Maybe a tweak in that direction in future updates, but overall I have to give the creators five stars and 👍👍 with a well deserved "Thank You" for your hard work!

I have changed my review to 5 stars now. I was initially very satisfied with the app until it crashed on me mid flight in 2 separate occasions. I have since upgraded my mobile device, drone firmware and Litchi version. My Phantom 3 Pro now flies flawlessly, and Litchi is always my go-to app. Thanks for working out the bugs.

I bought and installed this app as an alternative for the DJI Fly app on my Samsung S21 Ultra. Unfortunately, it won't open as it crashes as soon as I try to run it. I've heard amazing things about this app from friends who use it for their own sUAS platforms (both recreational and part 107 holders), but unfortunately I can't say the same until this bug is resolved.

I purchased this app to start flying my Mavic air drone again after 2 years sitting on a shelf. Customer service is impeccable they didn't stop helping until I was back flying. So far I haven't used any of the features of the actual app but, if it is anything like their Customer service it will be a great experience. Well worth the price and keep up the great work.

Have used this app for years. It's great- when it works. Reason for 3 stars and not 5 is that I recently ran into a problem with it, apparently from an update. There are no support options. I posted on the user forum and sent an email to support@ describing the issue in great detail. Got unhelpful responses from users on the forum and zero response from Litchi. This is a paid app with no support. I'm now looking for an alternative.

[TO CONNECT] You may need to clear defaults in dji app and only open app through the pop up dialogue when you connect device to controller.[TO CALIBRATE] You have to calibrate using onboard lights since the app does not have a u/i for the calibration feature. [BATTERY FIX] use "Purify" by Kingroot or similar app to kill unwanted background processes. [+++]Still the functionality of this app is worth paying for and absolutely a must for large panoramic photography.

Only used it a couple of times for waypoint missions. There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it works great. I haven't used the other features yet, but if they are as easy to learn, and work as well as the waypoint missions, that will be great. Thank you for just having a purchase price, instead of the monthly fee to use it that is becoming all to common these days.

GREAT app for my Mavic Air 2. Only 4 starts because I don't have the throttle control and no beeps from the obstacle avoidance. Hopefully this will be corrected sooner than later. Highly recommended. The DJI Fly app has nothing on this. Just use that for practice in the if you're a novice. Even gives me options that don't come with the Air 2 like waypoints. Awesome 👌

I went in nervously - unsure what I was doing. I watched a few youtube tutorials and read the really useful instructions on the Litchi website. I am absolutely blown away how useful and wonderful this application is. It opens up so many possibilities (especially the waypoint following function). It's worth every penny (and yes, it's kind of a pricier app) -- but if you're a DJI drone enthusiast this is a must have. It changes everything, being able to program a path in a web browser and have it instantly available on the app is such a innovative approach. I can confidently plan my flight path and automatically focus my camera on any POI during my flight. It's *stunning*! :O :) Thank you.

After reading many of these reviews I was impressed and decided to try to install it. Unfortunately, it does not work - at least I have been unable to get it to work on my device so far. I have a DJI Phantom 4 Pro and I am using a Motorola Z2 phone with 3 MB RAM using Android 7.1. Litchi is the only drone app I have installed on my phone so there is no conflict with the DJI Go 4. I have tried some of the fixes I have seen, such as enabling developer mode and USB debugging, all without any success. My app still show that it is disconnected with my controller. The app looks really good, if I could just get it to connect. Right now, I just wish I could get my $25 back.

Works fine but you can't stitch the panoramas on Android which was the only reason I purchased (Mavic Mini 1). I'm sure it will be useful, but a bit disappointed. To be fair, I probably should have done more research before buying. Dev, please add a stitcher for Android. So far I'm getting significant stitching errors on pc apps. Will have to try different amounts of photos to see if it helps.

I purchased Litchi about 2 months after I purchased my Mini SE. I didn't get it primarily for features such as way points and following but I love having the options. I very much like the feel and user interface. Recently I made a 1.2 mile flight using Litchi with no worries. The only thing that doesn't work well for me (so far) is RTH. The aircraft always wants to land 30 to 40 feet from home point even after calibrations. But I usually take over landing anyway.

I LOVE LITCHI. I have gone from being terrified of using my drone with DJI Go to just flying my drone for the hell of it with Litchi. A brand new Mavic out of the box running on DJI Go gave me nothing but random disconnections and terrible video feeds, even after downgrading my app to a "stable" version. Now I'm flying farther and doing cooler things all because of a different program. The only reason I am giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is a lack of a few key features from DJI Go. Mainly playback and Gimbal speed adjustment, which I've Googled up and down and can't find a solution for. Props to the developers for making a solid, stable app that wouldn't even be necessary if DJI did their jobs properly.

I recently got the DJI mini 2 but have been reluctant to push it out of fear of a crash. Short story, the Litchi app waypoints are perfect for the mini 2 as I've set up multiple flights in under an hour while on my laptop at home and flying them without a hitch! The Litchi app makes it easy to set up and fine-tune your flights. You can enjoy taking in the view and filming without worrying about altitude.

I purchased Litchi primarily for the Follow mode. As long as the weather is favorable (no fog or low clouds), and you don't get sand in the gimbal, it follows quite well. It followed two mountain bikers downhill for ten minutes, and only momentarily lost them from time to time. I do wish that the Follow interface was more intuitive, as there are a few options in there that you just have to risk trying to figure out. Also, watch out for obstacles before you enable Follow.
