This is by no means an expert review. This is the first time I flew with Litchi. It's either been too wet, too windy or too cold to fly.
The first test was tracking. I've found it works best with high contrast targets. It had no problem following Delilah (mostly white dog) against the green grass. Me wearing a camo jacket against the white house no problem, but as soon as I started walking past the hedges it lost track of me. Once I put my orange vest on tracking was spot on.
Next test Way Points. Note: MAKE SURE TO SET WAY POINTS HIGHER THAN OBSTACLES.
My first test nearly ended with the Phantom in a tree. Once my heart rate returned to normal I added 50 feet to my altitude and second test worked well, but I noticed the camera wasn't pointed at my POI, but over it. I set the gamble to shoot 60 feet above my POI (church steeple) and third mission was a success.
The next time I'm at my sister-in-laws where I have wide open spaces I'll try some long range tests. Unless you like to run way point missions I think DJI Go is more than enough for most people. Tracking is another nice feature as long as you target doesn't blend into the background. I also liked that I could set it to an announce altitude and distance so I didn't have to keep looking at the screen. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but overall it is an interesting app.
