Litchi trumps DJI Intelligent Flight Mode by a lot!

Correct Litchi is no longer beta it is using public firmware (latest public firmware)

Yep. DJI's own waypoint feature is terrible, in my opinion. I am buying a Nexus 7 2nd generation and getting Litchi. The good news: at least we have these options available to us now! Remember when there were NO waypoints/orbit/follow-me to choose from? Things are looking brighter.
As I recall, I think you've also shared that it is possible to lose rc connection on a far off orbit (such as when you lower altitude while orbiting and lose LOS). In that case, it would just orbit and orbit until low battery causes RTH - unless you physically get close enough to regain rc control. Am I remembering that right (I haven't been brave enough to test)?
There needs to be an iOS version as well. Though good thing I also have a Nexus 7 II though I'd much prefer using it on the new iPad coming out.

Do you guys know if it has an auto gimbal roll adjustment? I'm looking for any way I can to finally have a consistently level horizon.
Exactly right. I had to jump in truck and get close enough for it to receive my rth request.
I have been using on Note 4 and 5 without issue. What's important to "note" is that while all along on my Note 4 I had been having on and off issues with DJI's app stuttering streams and crashing (with google play and Lollipop updates main cause), Litchi was delivering stutter-free video and no crashes associated with com.google.process.gapps. Less demand on resources perhaps, not sure.

Lovin this lickme app! Bought it last night when I couldn't get DJI Go to work at all. Way cheaper than a new tablet and works great with my acer. One caution, be careful to set good altitudes on your waypoints. I almost crashed it. I think it bases altitude on the home point, not distance from the ground. Suddenly saw myself flying through the trees and barely had time to switch out of F mode and climb.
As an aside, I'm pretty sure DJI is the one developing all of these "3rd party" apps. They chuckle every time they come out with new software that won't work on more and more tablets and quietly pocket the money from those of us forced to by an app that works.

Yes, altitude is over the take-off point. Keep that in mind when planning missions - and if in variable terrain know that taking off from different places could yield different results (in final altitude) when running the same mission.Lovin this lickme app!
