For the Parrot Minidrones you can use the Freeflight Mini app, which is still downloadable.

The parrot bebop 2 is discontinued , so i guess i don't get to fly my drone anymore with my new phone.
App is discontinued as well & not firmware compatable.
Thanks Parrot corporation for taking my hard earned money & tossing it in the garbage
( NEVER BUYING ANOTHER PARROT DRONE EVER.!! )

A good reason to keep old phones.

Parrot corporarion returned my email complaint about removing my purchased bebop 2 from flight forever & basically told me thats it. You cannot fly FPV anymore.?? I mean why should they care. We are all a purchase # on file & reached the end of our life cycle.



Seeing i've only been given a few more years to live after my masive heart attack , where yes i was dead for 10min. Flying FPV IS ALL I HAVE TO ESCAPE THIS TORMENT. But no, Parrot insist i cannot fly FPV with there product anymore. Its now a shelf decoration , wondering if i should just burn the Parrot Bebop 2 & toss in a jar on the shelf. I will join it there in few years.



-- Here is Parrots response to my email to them.



Dear Jeremy,



Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your Parrot Bebop 2 drone and expressing your disappointment. We understand your frustration with the discontinuation of the product, as well as the compatibility issues with the firmware and the app.



We would like to inform you that the Parrot Bebop 2 has reached the end of its lifecycle and is now considered a legacy product. As a result, we no longer provide active support or updates for this particular model. This means that compatibility issues with new devices, such as your new phone, cannot be resolved through firmware updates or app improvements.



We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Unfortunately, since the product is no longer supported, we are unable to provide a replacement or fix the compatibility issues you are experiencing. We recommend considering alternative drone options available in the market that meet your requirements for flight and compatibility with your new phone.



We understand that this may not be the ideal solution for you, and we regret any disappointment or inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.



Thank you for your understanding.



Best regards,



Clément | Customer Experience Specialist

Dying does effect your finances being off work all of a sudden , so going out and buying a new FPV drone is impossible. My new medication thats keeping me alive for now is very expensive as well.



Yes , i do hope God Willing real men understand my silent suffering. Life is to short.

God Bless ..

Avoid death as long as possible , it is very terrible ...

If flying your Bebop 2 helps you to compensate for health problems, then my suggestion in post #4 is possibly a good way: keep your old smartphone and use it only to fly your drone.
That should work even without simcard.

Locked out of old phone , malicious software attack while i was working.
Had to get another phone & lost everything , including pictures.
So , let me go out & purchase an old phone & hope it works for a few months.
I think Parrot corporation is a bad start for any trusted consumer.
As far as im concerned.

Do you need an old phone? Or I pad?

I also am finding it hard to understand what the issue is here as well. You are saying that you have issues with free flight 3 but free flight 3 was replaced by freeflight pro. I fly my Bebop 1 with Free Flight Pro on my Moto z4. I also installed and was able to connect it on my Samsung Galaxy Tabe s5e. I think that you are looking for/using the wrong app. Check that first before you buy another phone.

What freeflight pro app??
Its not available..
I took screenshots to show , its not available.

 

[hyDROpunik]

What phone are you using?

You could download the apk, search on Google. Then install it on an phone with Android 9 (older will probably work too). If you want to use it with a newer Android version, install the apk and copy the folders "data/com.parrot.freeflight3" and "obb/com.parrot.freeflight3" from the Android 9 phone to the newer phone.
