In short
AR.Pro 2 for AR.Drones is an Android custom app from Shell M. Shrader. It is a great way to test individual motors.
Highlights
Much smoother then either the stock app or the ios app
Works great with ps3 controller
Like being able to test individual motors was just amazing
Looking forward to test this app with my AR Drone 2
Object detection works real well
Thanks for a excellent app and your continued development support
Controller mapping is great
The custom app looks very promising
This program does some amazing things
Regular updates and very helpfull app developer
The option to load offline maps is greyed out
Video feed would not work in Freeflight
I am not able to control the drone's flight
Initially it didn't connect to my Toshiba Thrive
This app's Hover lock does not work for me
App freezes on Samsung tab
And I can not get the object tracking to work either
Thought the camera or main board were pooched
