Geez, you can never satisfy everyone, want to fly to the top of mountain.
Next, there will people asking for DJI to increase the height so they can fly their bird to the moon

To the moon and BACK preferably!!

My house is at 5,100 feet and the tallest mountains are 9,800 feet.
And the closer I get to the mountain the higher in elevation I go.

Ground zero is where you take off, not sea level.

I understand ground zero is where you take off but you said at the base.

"I could fly over a 10,000 foot mountain here in NV if I was standing at the base of it. Not sure the Phantom could handle it though, like someone else said, wrong machine for the job."

See Everest video and don't be so quick to call out what tool is right for what job without prior experience using said tool. To mars and back! Make it happen DJI...

Back to the app, it's great so far! Still testing and making my list...

The IOS version looks very simplified form the Android one? How do you bring up GS and camera controls?

Really? You have the wrong equipment for the job!

You do realize that you can fly up 500 meters (1640.42 feet) from you takeoff point and still easily be under 400 AGL depending on the location? Not sure why you would think that someone that otherwise could fly safely and legally up a hillside should be prohibited to do so because an App or DJI said so.

What does your reply have anything to do with having the right equipment for the job?

Is it true that Litchi now has an altitude limit of 500m just like th dji go app?
If so why?

I have heard great thinks about this app.

Will be watching for its availability for my iPad Mini.

Will it allow us to fly higher than 500 meters from point of takeoff - so we can film up the side of a mountain?

I'm afraid not, the 500 limit is hard wired.

Really disappointed that there is no P2V+ iOS version coming. :-(

DJI doesn't support their older products. It would seem unfair to expect independent vendors to. I understand your disappointment, though.

Hey there, I read a bunch of reviews of this app for Android and seems to be really good, is 18 +5 more for the the focus, I'm using android so I might buy the app

madgitty · Dec 5, 2015

Any idea on a release date, thanks

Finally, I will be able to test today, the weather has been icy and snowy and rainy this week.

Skypicswa · Dec 5, 2015

Still think those who purchased app on Android should be able to use on iOS at no cost.

Ok not quite yet! But we have been hard at work and are looking for a limited amount of testers to give us feedback. The waypoint mode is fully implemented using Google maps and is ready for testing for P3P, P3A and Inspire1 on both iPads and iPhones running iOS 8 or 9.

Feature highlights:

- Ability to pre-plan your waypoint missions

- Draw missions with the pen tool

- Supports multiple Points of Interest

- Customizable quadratic bezier curves for smoother videos

- 6 different waypoint actions for straight lines missions

- Automatic gimbal control settings (Focus POI and Interpolate)

- Take manual control of the aircraft during the mission to play/replay the mission on the fly including gimbal movements

- Virtually unlimited distance waypoint missions, the aircraft will continue on a mission even if signal is lost

- Use the Panorama preset to easily shoot a horizontal panorama at waypoints

- Custom RC keys functions allowing you to create missions as you fly them

- Load/Save and Email your missions

- Voice feedback for important warnings

- Record your iOS device screen at the tap of a button (IOS 9 only)

Visit our help page for more information on the waypoint mode: Help - Litchi

Beta is currently full, you can still signup to be added to the waiting list. We will notify you when more slots become available.
If you are interested in testing the app and giving us feedback, follow this link Beta - Litchi

One question, Google is ending Google maps Dec. 12th, 2015. What will you use when that goes away?
