    Lol. Maybe you can ask Lost69 on advice on cheap smartphones, he seems to be a big fan of them.

    most likely the cheapest phone you can buy might actually be from your local Colesworths…

    you might want to specify what sort of app it is, because while you might be after a cheap phone, the app itself might not run on an older version of Android, or it might actually need a quad core processor and enough RAM to run smoothly

    how cheap is cheap?

    The app is available for Apple or Android, I assume you want Android?

    This app is on Google Play

    Also, many of my devices are not supported — e.g Samsung GSII, LG Optimus 4x HD, ASUS 10FHD tablet.

    It can only be installed to my Lg G2, my highest end device.

    I think the phone also needs to have a strong GPS capability, as it needs to relay GPS information to the drone for the 'Follow Me' function to work.

        It works on a lot of devices. P880 works as does my budget Huawei Y550.

        I haven't tried installing them though so it's not a 100% guarantee it works flawlessly.

          @mr1993: china droid. plenty out there that a re quasi decent for little cost. especially only 3G phones.

          eg. HOMTOM HT3 5.0 inch Android 5.1 for US$50.99 delivered.

          to get that price - page shows $52.99. open a new acocunt with everbuyng and receive 100 EB points which can be used to reduce price by US$2.

      Paid brand new LgG2 for $170 delivered on eBay.

      • scrimshaw on 16/04/2016 - 00:15

        LG D802 international variant or american version?

  • eatwell365 on 16/04/2016 - 00:01

    My 2 cents. Don't invest on a phone just to play drone.
    Cheap drone doesn't last and will then be stuck with a phone.

    • mr1993 on 16/04/2016 - 00:11

      Its not a cheap drone

      • altomic on 16/04/2016 - 01:30

        buy a cheap drone and then Don't invest on a phone just to play cheap drone.
