The Flone

flone-android

A CleanFlight drone remote controller, driven with performance in mind.

Autoreconnection: if connection drops, app will try to connect again to the drone automatically
Automagic heading: the drone will mimic your orientation automatically
Connects with the drone via Bluetooth
The communication is handled in a Service, so the drone wouldn't fall if someone calls you
Choose if you are a beginner or an expert pilot, to cap the pitch/roll values
Put the drone in BARO/SONAR mode when untapping the phone screen
It works with all CleanFlight powered boards, not only the Flone

Connection via WiFi Direct
Connection via Internet (using a phone to drive the drone, and another one on the drone to connect the drone to the Internet)
Get the altitude of the drone above the ground
Get the GPS location of the multiwii board
Get the GPS location of the phone, when connecting over the Internet (for boards without GPS)
Do you have an idea? Create an issue!
