Description

Android ARDrone Flight Application.
Control the AR.Drones and record video.

ARDrone Flight has optional Platinum Features including support for V2 Drones, Flight Animations and Autonomous Mode via in-app payments.

See ARDrone Flight discussion on ARDrone-Flyers.com forums.

V2 AR.Drones require a powerful Android CPU - Galaxy S is a minimum requirement when using local video recording with overlays.

This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1.
This software also uses the unmodified JAR of Apache Commons Net licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html

Features:

Flight Animations:
* Flight animations allow a sequence of flight animations to be built up and then played back when the Drone is flying. This includes V2 only flips.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html#FlightAnimations

Autonomous Mode:
* Uses you device GPS with Mapsforge maps to fly the Drone under autonomous control.
Uses offline mapping from Mapsforge.
See http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/

N.B. Autonomous mode is why the Location permission is used.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html#Autonomous

Video Recording:
* Video recording to a file and/or USB recording on V2 Drones.
* Local video recording with optional overlay of drone flight information. When used without overlay this is in HD for V2 drones.

UI Configuration:

* Control via tilt, on-screen joysticks or USB gamepads.
* Individual icon, text and joystick scaling.
* Separate joystick deadzones and sensitivities.
* Colour slider to change on-screen UI colour of joystick controls.

Flight Control:

* Use normal, absolute or combined yaw flight modes.

Profiles:
* Create multiple profiles for uses like indoor and outdoor settings; day or dusk UI; HUD on/off etc.
* Profiles can be switched quickly from a UI icon.

GamePad Mapping:
* Gamepad mapping allows the mapping of USB gamepad buttons and joysticks.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html#GamePadMap

Update Drone firmware:

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★I just downloaded the app and tried to connect to my drone with the new flight recorder. I got an error message about getting money from my google wallet, and now I can't access my drone at all... it won't assign a wifi IP address. Help!!!!! Noted added: I commend the software writer for responsive customer support, after the above post, but I reiterate my concern that the software is not safe for an ar.drone with a flight recorder, perhaps not safe for any ar.drone. It should probably not be downloaded at all by any owners of ar.drone v.2, as it does not work with this version, and the process to do in-app update obviously is buggy, so buggy the drone appears to be damaged. To help others overcome this bug, learn to use the reset button under the battery, before you use this software. I really don't think many people should be buying the free version, as most people have v2 drones, and the program has such bugs. The paid version may be a good value, thus far it appears good, but you have to get there first. A piece of software that gives the purchaser a heart attack before he can use it, does not seem to be such a wise purchase.
5 ★Best flight controller there is for the ARdrone, with many features not offered in the standard software. Developer is extraordinarily devoted to responsive user support.
3 ★Fails to connect to Drone v1, just sits trying to retrieve nav data
1 ★Paid the "donation" fee but it still would not operate my at 2.0
4 ★As I just said the controls are far better than the official parrot AR.DroneFreeFlight2.3.3 app which does not work with my AR Drone as its not a 2.0 drone but in fact the original. so this app works great for flight control easy manipulation of flight but it will not record what the camera sees which is a bit of a problem because I like to post stuff on YouTube if anybody knows how to fix this please comment back
5 ★Finally! I'm so thankful to have a working remote for my parrot 2.0 and disappointed at some of the cruddy reveiws below. I run the app on a motorola X2 and it works perfectly! Tnanks guys for showing some love for us non apple types!
5 ★Firstly, I have not seen an app that receives better customer service on the play store. And second, this app is very user friendly with easy to learn control features and new gadgets to be discovered every use. Love my drone!
1 ★Program wants u to pay more n more money at every turn, n will not work unless you have wifi to allegedly get licences.
3 ★Was really difficult to get to work ..Got to have a lot of patience with this App..And note to user's : You do have to engage the AR drone app to get this to work ..
1 ★Purchased the premium options for autonomous flight, , but it just doesn't work. Map shows my location is about 300km from where I am. Other than offer me a pricey lower quality manual flight with options that only tease and not deliver, I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to use it. . Maybe if you get auto pilot features working it will be worth it. EDIT- in response to dev, I have tried installing the maps 5 times now, there's only one for my area, and loads that map, just the location is way off, saying I'm in a different city.
1 ★I have the 2.0. Donated twice. I have no problem with the donation or buying the map, the autopilot and the liscence. But it still doesn't work. I have followed the instructions. No luck. I just want it to work.
5 ★Works much better than the official app! Thankgod for this app else my drone would be a waste of money. Thanks devs!
