not really for beginners who aren't going to take their time -as it will get caught in the wind and fly away, and you will forget the controls and drive it into stuff if you don't take your time. ALL low price point drones are this way.
If you want something stable you kinda need GPS and the cheapest I've found are upwards of 150$. The camera is almost unusable due to really low rez and the app is... not great.
However:
Once you get the hang of it this can really zip around.
But, for the price, you get a zippy little machine. Takes two hours to charge for a 10 min-ish flight time but again thats about the same on most units until you get up above the 150$ range. Im happy tooling around the yard. I wouldnt fly it in the house, a bit too big.
If buying for kids i would reccomend they try it maybe in a gym or a real big field. keep it low and slow for the 1st several tries until one starts to get the hang of it. Wouldnt hurt to watch some beginner quadcopter guides on youtube.
I would reccomend this but with a pinch of caution:
-Its a flying machine. it can fly away. Be careful.
-dont even bother with the camera or the app
-be prepared to wait for the 2hr rechage. good news is the batteries can be found cheap online or at hobby shop (use the battery it came with for reference and get the right ones)
-Its fun and its fast

Took my son a few hours to figure it out but got the hang of it and enjoys it. Have issues with the iPhone staying connected but overall pretty good

Got this for my son for Christmas. He obviously hasn't seen it yet but we had to test it so we know what we're doing. It's going to be perfect for him.
