Laurie Ihave now flown it, and I am quite pleased with it. It is suitable for a beginner, and my 6 year old grandson has been flying it with no difficulty. It's not suitable for outdoors unless there is very little or no wind, as the the highest of the the three rates it has is still not high enough allow it to hold its own even in a light wind.

The camera is reasonably good, but to make it work at least with an iphone you need to connect to the wifi for the camera, as described in the instructions, BUT ALSO go into the settings for the app and make sure network is ON and mobile data is OFF. The app has functions for controlling a flying machine as well, but I don't think they work with this helicopter. However, the video recording and photo buttons do work.

The instructions are inadequate in that they DON'T tell you all you need to make the camera work with the app. Also they don't mention that as well as the auto take off and land, there is a manual take off. To use it you put the throttle(left) stick up briefly, whereupon the heli blades will start to idle. After that, pushing the throttle stick up will make the heli take off.

Laurie Well,it turns out I was quite wrong about using the app to fly this heli. You CAN do it. In the app you need to press the button with the picture of a padlock on it to reveal the control buttons. Then you can fly it just as you would with the transmitter. I found it is easier to use the transmitter than the app, but I think with practice I would be just as good with the app as with the transmitter, as it's such an easy helicopter to fly.
