Proper App?

[Normp]

I have a Mini-2 in Nova Scotia. Every year I can't connect and have to uninstall the App and look for the most recent. I think I'm supposed to get the DJI Fly App, but it keeps coming up error and directs me to "Try Virtual Flight" App.

Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I'd be grateful.

Download from DJI

As stated above only download these Apps from the DJI site. Not from any app stores. There are plenty of reasons to to it that way.
Delete the old one fully before trying to download another.

Exactly.

Here's the link to download the Fly app from DJI. Choose IOS or Android.

Thank you all!
I always uninstall first then only get Apps from DJI.
I just noticed that"suitable devices" are up to Pixel 6. But I have a Pixel 7. That's a Google phone. You'd think DJI would make their App work on that.
Perhaps I'll just try the download recommended here.
Thanks again.

My phone wouldn't let me install it. Due to security issues because it was made for an older version of my phone.
Is there another app I can use?
I do have the litchi app but I prefer DJI.

Although Litchi is compatible with the Mini 2, I would see what DJI would say. Have you reached out to them to see if your device is compatible with their software? This is one of the reasons I use the Tripltek tablet.

You might try this APK mirror site.

There are older versions of the app that may work.

You would need the DJI app for your settings? I think your best bet is to purchase an older Iphone or android.

I couldn't find anything on their website. I already looked.
Can try to boot up my old phone and install it on that.
But don't you need internet or phone service in order to fly?

You can download to your PC and then transfer the app vial USB

No, internet and phone service are not required to fly. Without wifi, you won't be able to download maps during flight, but you can do that in advance on your home network. The maps are cached and available for use during flight.

When you tried to install the Fly app, was the security message you saw a warning that you could skip or was it a complete refusal to install it?

 

[Yorkshire_Pud]

I find it odd that you have to reinstall the app, are you perhaps confusing the need to log in with disconnection ?
The fly app has a automated timeout log out though what starts or resets the clock is uncertain.
An internet connection is required when logging in but, other than that and the map thing already mentioned, there is no need for an internet connection.

@Normp, I did a quick search and there are many reports of incompatibility between the Pixel 7 and the DJI Fly app. It's been an issue since 2022. Here are two relevant discussions.

DJI Fly App and Pixel 7Pro

Will the Fly app ever be compatible with Google's Pixel 7 pro? For the life of me, I can't see why the 7 Pro is not on the list. It's as pure Android as one can get on a phone. It works with all the bloat ware on Samsung, why not Pixel 7? Thanks
