This is my first drone and it is very easy to use. The better you get the more settings you can change to your skill level. Great first drone for the money and parts are very reasonable. A+ in my book

I bought this drone for my son's birthday and we've been very happy with it. The camera quality is questionable but he doesn't care so neither do I... The App UI is difficult at first and I had to research things online just to get it to fly out the box but once we figured it out my 8 year old son was able to keep it in the air and pull off some sick maneuvers lol.. Also, I don't know if it's the drone Wi-Fi or the our phone's/ tablet's but it seems to drop signal depending on where we're standing in the yard.. which device is connected etc. but only at heights above 25ft. So we keep it low to the ground and there's no problem. I could see where an advanced "Droner" would find that pretty boring. Great battery life and it comes with 2. Overall I would recommend this drone to anybody for their first one.. it's super durable (trust me) and easy to fly.

If you have plenty of experience with drones, this may be an affordable option.
Do Not suggest this as a starter drone
Extra battery does give you some actual playtime! They get bonus points for that

got this as a birthday present. loaded required app to use my smartphone (s4) as drone controller. tried to fly it inside in our living room. had many horrendous crashes. its too big to fly in our average sized living room. finally took it outside and had much better experience. I've crashed it badly more than a few times though and it still flys perfectly. the video quality is ok. not great but passable.

I love my drone! Once you get the hang of it, it’s lretty easy to control. Although I didn’t like the idea of my phone having to be the remote, I got used to it and now it’s easy. The quality of the drone is better then I thought it would be, and it has an extra layer of foam that you can take on and off for extra protection outdoors. . The camera and record option is pretty seeet too!

The drone is completely amazing and it's mobile friendly. The drone of course has trouble when there is heavy wind, other than that it's completely amazing. you were able to take videos came pictures while you are in the air.

I bought this for my husband and he was not impressed. For the cost it’s an ok item but if you want more control buy a more expensive drone. We ended up returning it and eating the restocking fee.

I bought this for my niece for her bday. This was a total hit at the party... it was THE gift everyone wanted to play with. Even the younger kids could easily control it. ITs not pro grade but definitely recommend as a starter.

Not as stable as more expensive drones, and the downward facing camera is not great. But it's an excellent value for its price.

We purchased this for our high functioning special ed son (14yrs) and the ease of use and quality of battery life and camera viewing have really been great. We have only owned one other drone, two years ago and it was much more cumbersome to learn to operate and much more difficult to keep out of trees. This one has been a breeze to learn to use and the whole family has enjoyed trying it out.

This drone was everything I hoped for in a first drone. Easy to fly after watching the included quick start videos on downloaded control app.

I see a lot of bad review about this drone, not only here on Bestbuy, but on Amazon as well. Still, I purchased it, because I did not want to spend over a $200 on a practice/first drone.
Honestly, I don't know why there's so much negative reviews. I've had my drone for a little over a month now. I've taken it places to fly, taken tons of videos and pictures. I have yet, (knock on wood) to bump into any problems with it.
I was happy that it came with two batteries and that I could control it with my phone, instead of having those clunky RC controllers. I get my pics and videos right on my phone, for easy viewing and sharing. Flying this AR 2.0 is so much easier than the other drones I've tried.
I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids, as the drone can potentially seriously injure an inexperienced flyer.

It's a pretty nice beginners drone but the casing is so light, it's not strong enough for strong winds which is a bummer. It's bigger and a lot easier to maneuver than my son's first drone but seems like a downgrade as far as power.

This drone wasn't quite as easy to fly as some of the reviews I read. It has some trouble keeping in the direction we tried to fly it in. For example if we flew it straight out in front of us, we had a lot of trouble trying to get it to fly back to us.

I bought it for my 11 year old grandson. He loves it. First he had to sinc it to his I-Pad as it comes without it's own. Then we realized that the initial setup is only a beginners mode and will drastically limit the height and distance you can fly it. It took $4.99 to purchase the full control app and he's having a blast with it. P.S. Use in a grass area first, until you get used to landing as the bottom has no foam protection like the sides. Enjoy!
