TURN PHONE LOCATION/GPS ON TO CONNECT! Lots of negative reviews below are due to the manual leaving out the above detail. Others are user error. Parrot bailed on the consumer drone market last year. Expect no updates nor support, and you won't be disappointed. The Swing is a cool plane, but not a good quad, especially in any wind. If Parrot had made the Disco a VTOL plane, I'd own one. Then again, "Disco" sucks.

MAKE SURE YOUR LOCATION IS TURNED ON! Have the Parrot Mambo. The app requires you to have location on during use. So if you're trying to connect your drone and it's not appearing even though you have Bluetooth turned on, make sure you also have your location on. I was using an older phone for piloting, and only after hours of digging did I find someone mention needing to have location turned on. The app isn't intuitive and doesn't let you know this during use. Only at the initial install.

I spent almost an hour trying to get it to connect to the drone. Uploaded this app onto 2 tablets and my phone. Finally was reading feedback, such as this. Someone pointed out gps was a must or it will not work. Having my location off on my phone was why there was a glitch. Finally up and flying. Tablet trys were unneeded. I think that it should be clearer that gps and location is needed in order for it to work. Otherwise I'd score you higher! At least add a warning splash page or something.

This app says that it need to access location so that it can find the mini drone close to you ot the app will not work at all: this implies that either the minidrone has GPS or Parrot SA uses your phone GPS position illegitimately. So Parrot SA please en-light us and tell which of these two things you are doing: are you crippling user so that we cannot use the GPS on the mini drone or are you illegitimately using GPS location from out phones ?

Connected easily to my son's Parrot Mambo. I like the altitude and speed controls. The fact that one can pilot the drone while recording it with your phone is cool. This app is for Parrot mini drones; there is a list of compatible drones in the about app details. Happy flying :)

The overall flight is decent with this app but I can't figure out how to access the camera and nobody from Parrot will get in touch. I have the Hydrofoil mini drone which I bought mostly for photos. **Can anyone help me solve this issue? It's been a month now.

About this app

PILOT YOUR DRONE VIA YOUR SMARTPHONE OR TABLET
Download FreeFlight Mini free of charge in order to pilot Parrot Minidrones.



INTUITIVE PILOTING
FreeFlight Mini’s easy-to-use interface makes piloting simple, even for beginner pilots. The app connects to your Minidrone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Once connected, select your preferred piloting method and take-off. You can pilot using virtual joysticks, the parrot remote or by tilting your smartphone/tablet in the direction you want your drone to go in Accelerometer mode.

EASY CONNECTIVITY
The FreeFlight Mini App automatically detects which Parrot Minidrone you are using.
Simply turn on your drone, activate Bluetooth on your smartphone/tablet and open the application. Select your drone from the list that appears on the screen. Your drone will then connect and you are ready for take-off! If you’re using Mambo FPV, activate wifi on your iDevice and connect to your drone in the app.
List of drones compatible with this application: Parrot Mambo, Parrot Swing, Parrot Minidrones Airborne Night and Cargo, Hydrofoil*, and Rolling Spider.
*For Hydrofoil: place the Airborne Minidrone into the Hydrofoil structure, select Hydrofoil mode in settings, and start sailing across the water.

Parrot MAMBO FPV NEW FEATURES
The application will instantly recognize the FPV camera that you have connected to your Parrot Mambo. You can now save and transmit HD video content in real time! To completely immerse yourself in the FPV experience, simply place your iDevice in your Parrot Cockpit Glasses 2. You’ll see exactly what your drone sees and discover new, thrilling sensations thanks to this innovative function.
Become a FPV racing pilot using the three new pilot modes. Start with the Easy mode, which will keep your drone’s position in the air even after the controls have been released. Then, move on to Drift mode. This mode deactivates the horizontal stabilization, thus allowing for sharps turns and more complex maneuvers. Last but not least, push your piloting skills to the limit and try the new Racing mode. You’ll have complete control of the drone with no stabilization assistance. The possibilities are endless!

ACROBATICS, FLIPS & TURNS
From the home screen of the FreeFlight Mini app, you can easily access your settings for piloting, photos, and the "Parrot Cloud.” You can also customize flight parameters, including: altitude, speed and piloting mode (accelerometer, joypad). FreeFlight Mini app also includes fun features like one-touch flip:
- Experience loops, barrel rolls, and high speed 180-degree turns with Parrot Swing
- Front/back/side flips with Parrot Mambo, Airborne Minidrones, Rolling Spider and Hydrofoil*

*Only when it’s removed from the Hydrofoil structure and in flight mode
Parrot Minidrones are ultra-compact drones with impressive agility. They can fly both indoors and outdoors with great speed and stability.

PHOTOS
All Parrot Minidrones can take dronies of you and your friends. You can also store images from your drone races taken by Parrot Swing in plane mode.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR FLYPAD SETTINGS
The new Parrot Flypad allows you to pilot your Minidrone with extra-precision and control.
There are two ways to connect the controller to the Minidrone:
- Automatically and directly, without the use of a smartphone. This mode offers an increased flight range of up to 200 feet
- Through your smartphone or tablet. This connection mode allows you to monitor your flight status on your device’s screen, and simultaneously pilot the Minidrone using the controller

You can customize your Flypad controls to suit your piloting preferences through the use of the FreeFlight Mini app. Turn on your Parrot Flypad and select it in the “controller” section of the app.
*To pilot Parrot Minidrone Jumping Night, Race, or Sumo, you need to download the FreeFlight Jumping app.
