I've been playing with this for a while now and am ready for a review!!

So this is a decent price if you wanna get your kids a drone. It's easy to use and has a decent camera quality. Not the best, but still decent. 

PACKAGING: very neatly packaged, with form fitting foam covering each piece. The propellers, bumpers, and other accessories are separately stowed away in the box. The instructions are also super easy to read and understand.

EASE OF USE: just download the app, connect the WiFi to the drone. The drone can be controlled in "tilt mode" where you just physically move your phone and control the drone that way, or you can control it using the left controller (on the phone) where it rotates it or forwards and back. The right controller (on the phone) will manuver the drone left or right, and up or down. There is an "emergency" land button as well as a regular land button which gently brings the drone down.

PRO: Super simple, decent price for beginners. Easy to control using your phone, camera quality isn't too bad, a little grainy compared to regular cell phone recording, but a nice introduction to using drones. You can use your phone as a controller. Comes with 2 batteries!!

CONS:
1. The drone comes already password protected. I had to google what the password would be for, it is "12345678" in case you encounter this issue. The instructions didn't have that written anywhere so that was a bit troublesome.
2. It doesn't go that high up, only about 15 ft I want to say. Not that much.
3. It isn't as sturdy in slight wind, and when you maneuver it to rotate, once you stop it, there is an aggressive jerk in the recording. 
4. It was NOT compatible with my Samsung with T-Mobile as my provider. I was able to download the app, however, it kept telling me to connect to the drone. Even though I would connect, the app keeps telling me to do it (???). We used my friend's iPhone, service provided by Verizon. There was no issue downloading, connecting, and controlling the app. 
5. There were a few times the app closed on it's own and we were worried about the drone losing connection/losing the drone so we had to immediately "emergency land" the drone. Because there isn't a separate controller, if your app crashes, or you receive a phone call, you won't have 100% control of the drone. Since the SD card is in the actual drone, if you LOSE the drone, you'll LOSE everything on your SD card. 
6. Drone dies after 10 min of activity (which seems to be the average, for the drones I've purchased and my friends who have purchased some that area a few hundred dollars)

You get what you pay for. If you want those dramatic scenic drone footage where you can easily and smoothly glide across the mountain range and you get to be as big as an ant as it takes off a few dozen feet away from you, well, this isn't for you.

Price: $149.99
