just take a deep breath and start again delete your app and then reinstall it then follow the instruction on how to connect your remote to your monitor android or ios it does not matter once the controller has linked to your device turn on the drone and wait for it to connect you will see a picture on the screen make sure you are outside and wait for the sats to connect the icon at the top of the screen will turn green and will say ready to fly if all is well touch the auto take off icon and then swip across the screen where it tells you the motors should start and the drone will rise up just let it hover for a bit to make sure all is well then if you are happy with it try some gentle stick movments to get the feel of it always make sure that the drone is facing away from you for your first flight till you get used to which way it moves good luck

Looking at the 1st pic you have 4 bars 10 sat "when you snapped it" I bet if you watch that very quickly it drops to 5-6 sat which will stop you. You wont get a solid lock. Too much interference inside to hold a launch lock. Whatever you do dont fly it inside! Not a toy it will be too hard to control.

I just took the pics inside because of the weather.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get it outside and do a short flight.

 

[MadMaqx]

Am I right or wrong we all use the same go4 app his app looks different like the pre version "before 4"

 

[Broken Arrow]

Just to eliminate a NFZ ( No Fly Zone ), download a app from the Play Store, Air Map or B4Ufly, make sure location is on for the phone and see if it gives you any warnings or restrictions. I was once grounded due to a Presidential Visit to the area. Best of luck, if I lived closer, we'd put that bird in the air! Be patient someone nearby will jump in to offer help, great bunch of members here.

Unfamiliar with the older app, David make sure you are downloading the "DJI Go 4" version. MadMaqx brought up a good point.

You say here both, there is only one. The other version is for older drones, not the Air.

 

[MadMaqx]

Yes I have played with these 100s of times if the air use go4 he definitely has early version. Idk about air I do know how pro is set up and IMU and compass does not look like that

You need to make sure there is a battery in the drone? Yes?
