ROVA Reviews, page-13

If these guys don't fix the app issue it will bury the product if it hasn't already imo.

"But my confidence was shot when the Rova's app unexpectedly crashed — and then so did my drone, directly into the side of my house like a hapless airborne paparazzo."

Forbes review -

"The design and packaging is wonderful and gets top marks, but the key things here are flying, quality and safety, and while the video and image quality is great — when it works — the problems with connecting and safely flying the drone make this whole experience an unpleasant one — with danger included, if the drone should disconnect when the app crashes, making it a flying missile, indoors or out."

The Australian review -

"Worse, on one occasion, it flew away and over a neighbour’s fence despite my efforts to control and land it. The app became unresponsive in flight."

According to IOT, this is the market space they consider is a profitable one imo -

"This market segment is growing extremely fast with limited availability of robust, high quality, products outside of the professional and high- end hobbyist drone category."

Irrespective of the number of retailers one can have as an avenue to distribute the product, IOT are right, it does actually have to be a "quality" product at this price point. If the app hasn't been configured at this stage of the products life cycle, revenue is negligible but the coming quarterly will verify if this is the case imo.

Again, quoting IOT -

"IOT Group Limited (ASX:IOT) is in the process of building a large- scale distribution network for Consumer Electronics (CE) in the United States, with a specific focus on mass-appeal CE products with a high “gadget factor”, such as selfie drones. "

One has to wonder if they have picked the right "gadget" imo -

"This makes it feel like an expensive novelty, a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. It is cheaper than the Hover Drone, but it is also larger, bulkier, more awkward to fly and packed with fewer features. An aerial selfie might be fun, but not when it costs $300 and requires you to lug around a large case. That feels like a pointless exercise in technological vanity."
