WIFI ADVENTURER Reviews

by Picturedinsomnia

Put it in the box and return it is my best advice. By the time you figure out how to sync it to your phone, you still have no idea how to control it. A few minutes into trying to learn, you already used up the 6-7 minute air time. At this moment I am recharging the battery or it might be broken? But, who knows?

I got this for Christmas it was cool to setup. Charged the battery. Meantime downloaded the software for my Apple phone 12 MaxPro. Battery charged installed ready to run. Joysticks pattern doesn’t maneuver the drone. I iPad Pro doesn’t be but Sketchy laggy on movement. Drone went full blast on acceleration. Lucky old man handling the device didn’t break nothing thank God.

I was very excited to start working on this but as soon as I tried to connect to the drone it wouldn’t pop up. I tried charging it and shaking it but nothing worked. The only thing that works is the annoying flashing lights which are not at all helpful. Don’t waste your time with this.

The drone won’t charge, no matter what I try. I’ve seen it start to charge (my box has a light that lights up when something is charging), but it immediately stops. Piece of crap, there are much better drones(and toys) you can get for this money. If your drone miraculously DOES charge, you’ll probably encounter one of the many problems that other people have had. Do not buy, there’s a one in a million chance you won’t get a defect, and if you do, it’s extremely mediocre (based on the other reviews).

WIFIADVENTURER wouldn’t work on my son’s Samsung phone but it worked on my IPhone. It wouldn’t connect to his phone. After we got WIFIADVENTURER to FINALLY work, the drone would only fly for what seems like one second, then it would lose connection. After every time we tried to fly the drone and the repellers started spinning, we would lose connection. After all that trying to get the drone to fly, the battery dies. The battery doesn’t keep a charge AT ALL!!!! We made sure the battery was fully charged before we even started. ITS HORRIBLE!

The connection process was pretty easy, but that was the ONLY good part. The drone is terrible! WIFIADVENTURER controls do not work and it ended up going out of control, crashing into many things. I do not recommend purchasing this product! Also, the camera doesn’t work. I tried recording, but once I went to the media library and tried to open a video, WIFIADVENTURER crashed!! Terrible purchase!

Thinking that I have an iPhone 11 there would be no problem connecting to the drone. I downloaded WIFIADVENTURER and turned on the drone fully charged, as instructed. I connected to the drone through wifi and opened WIFIADVENTURER , and nothing showed up to tell me that it is connected. The joysticks didn’t show up on my screen and the “real-time video” didn’t either. So now I have a drone that connects but doesn’t let me fly.

Downloaded WIFIADVENTURER . Plugged in the battery on the drone. Turned on the on/off switch on the drone and the lights started flashing. Opened WIFIADVENTURER . Nothing. No instructions on how to get it to connect to your drone. Can’t get the propellers to spin at all. I don’t normally leave reviews, but WIFIADVENTURER and this drone are so bad, I want to hopefully save someone else some aggravation. Probably going to be returning this to the store tomorrow. This is a horrible waste of time and money.

I tried to connect with the drone but it took to long! What kind of scam are you people trying to run!? It’s absolutely stupid! You spend more money making the drone and you sell it for less! WIFIADVENTURER is terrible and you have to have a strong WIFI connection for the dam thing to work! This is the worst drone I have ever tried to operate! One more thing, I will take apart the piece of crap you call a drone and will make it into something worth my time!!!👎👎👎👎👎

Hi,
Just make al steps of the instructions but when you are in WIFIADVENTURER click the eye close símbol in the right to view the control in the screen. When you made that can control and fly the Drone.

I tried connecting to the WiFi but I couldn’t find the one called WIFI DRONE_XXXX I found one called WIFI DRONE_9A74 and that makes WIFIADVENTURER work but the drone won’t start up or move or fly can you please respond with a solution thanks!

Look don’t listen to all these people with their 1 star reviews whining about the drone. I got it at Five Below for $15 and for the money it’s pretty fun to play with. Obviously it’s not going to be a great quality drone but it works and it’s fun to play with. Only last for about 6 minutes and takes 90 minutes to charge which is a bummer but when you can play with it it’s a ton of fun once you get a handle on the controls. My second time flying I actually got it to do a flip which was funny and cool to watch. Bottom line: Worth paying $15 for just don’t expect it to be a high quality drone.

Now i usually dont waste my time doing this, but i thought why not so, i dont know how mich it is, it was a gift, but i read one review that said he got it for $15 and if so, then its not worth your money. Maybe something like $3. The first time i used it worked fine, except one blade wasnt spinning as fast as the others, dunno if that was me or the drone, the camera is as expected. But the second time i used it, i charged it for somewhere around 3 hours, tried to use it, and it died while i tried to connect. I did this again, this time leaving it to charge for 12 hours, and again, it died while trying to connect. Im going to keep trying but if it cost more than $5, dont waste your money.

WIFIADVENTURER works just fine, and the instructions are clear on how to connect, so I'm not sure what other people's complaints are about. You have to connect to the drone just like a regular wifi network in settings, and then WIFIADVENTURER will work. However, the rest of the manual is awful. There are no assembly instructions at all, and I was left with two extra screws, which I'm more than a little wary of. Overall, the software side works fine, but the hardware side is what I'm not sure of. So, a passing grade, i guess.

Everything works greats and WIFIADVENTURER is good but if I record on the camera it doesn’t pull up WIFIADVENTURER just crashes every time and it says that it records 0 seconds when I have recorded 30 but other than the camera it’s a really good cheap drone

by Latsca

It’s a bit hard to get a hang of the controls and the camera quality isn’t the greatest, but that’s what you’d expect from a drone that costs $20. Also tip: don’t fly the drone on windy days.

by Brabbit5433

This is a really fun divice if your trying to have fun I love it it’s hard to control it cuase it’s my first time but this is a really cool cheap drone this is good if your trying to buy a drone on a budget I had so much fun

by Glibitz

I got this drone from 5 Below. For 5$, it was well worth it. Got to remember to change your WiFi connection to the drones WiFi or you are not going to get it to fork.

I have a blast using the drone app to control my drone that I got for Christmas. The camera was really how I expected lil blurry but that’s all good. The way I had to charge it was a little different but it did the job!

by Sitiak

I really haven’t had any problems connecting and handling the drone. Certainly didn’t have to deal with the issues others have had. The only downside for me is the image quality of the camera, but that may be because I flew the drone into a table on accident. I’m excited to play with it some more!

I feel like the whole purpose of having this is to be able to record videos from high up. However, the camera doesn’t work. WIFIADVENTURER doesn’t let you record any footage so...returning this.

I also bought this drone as a cheap FPV trainer before I flew my newest drone, and was initially disappointed by the many glitches I found: the FPV function simply did not work-WIFIADVENTURER crashed every time I tried to playback even a a captured still image, the ultra light weight makes it nearly uncontrollable in even moderate breezes, and the construction was, bluntly, sloppy. I was able to get the Android version to display, but no video playback. I was about ready to start cannibalizing for parts for other projects, when I decided to do some research: it turns out WIFIADVENTURER is widely copied from different vendors. I found out “Helicute” is nearly identical. I loaded that, but it would not pair with the drone, however, I now found that the WiFi adventurer app now worked! There may have been an overwrite of the original installation by Helicute. The next issue- playback. The WiFi adventurer software no longer crashes, but avi files only playback in VLC. So I didn’t entirely blow $15 on a “hanger queen”, and will now dominate the airspace of my living room .
