I didn't have the app on my phone for various reasons for todays flight, done now though. The drone is amazing, I was a little nervous about parking it in a tree and an irresponsible dog owner let their Labrador off the leash and I couldn't land coz he wanted to eat it but apart from that I flew out two batteries, learnt a lot and for the second battery I even remembered to press record!Yes. You can tap and hold anywhere on the map and it will bring up a notification of the status of that area. How did your 1st flight go today?
