Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Tello Boost Combo Quadcopter's ease of use, camera quality, and battery life, frequently citing its smooth operation and surprisingly good image capture for the price. However, some users experienced challenges with the drone's wind resistance and limited range, particularly in breezy conditions. Concerns were also raised regarding app compatibility with newer Android devices and the lack of an included controller in some packages.

    This thing breaks easily, so for a beginner I wouldnt buy. It only flew a few times before it broke, on top of that you have to go to a shady website to download the app you need to fly it.

    The first drone I ever owned. Easy to fly. Instructions were very easy to follow. Having lots of fun flying over the river and hills. I will be getting a larger one in the future.

    Great drone quality. Had to return it because it did not come with a controller and the app wasn’t compatible with my dad’s phone. I wish they would’ve mentioned that under the details.

    We bought this for my son who was 6 at the time and he had a hard time using it. Had to return it and find something else for him.

    I purchased a Tello from my local Best Buy store, and was excited to get it home and try it out. What I discovered, instead, was that it only works with a fairly small number of devices. My Android phone is not supported, and neither were the two older Android phones I have. It only works primarily with Chinese Android devices and Apple devices. There was no information about this on the box, so now I'm on my way back to Best Buy to return it. Check compatible devices on the Tello website before purchasing.

    This thing has no range and will blow out of wifi range with the slightest gust of wind. This one is now lost to the ocean.

    Android App Doesn't Work

    Cool-looking drone that our 11-yo son was excited about for Christmas. Unfortunately, it cannot function without an app that we couldn't get to work after trying for two days. Used my wife's Samsung S10 to no avail (not latest tech since 18 months old). Best Buy wouldn't stand behind the product they sell, charging a 15% "restocking" fee of $22.50. Buyer beware!

    Very complicated or maybe I had a defective drone. It would take off and then just hover. None of the controls worked. I had to literally smack it to the ground to turn the stupid thing off. Me and my son was excited to capture some photos and videos but we will have to explore a different model.

    A very good drone but the battery takes forever to charge. After charging overnight, the 2 of the 3 batteries are defective.

    I would not even give this product 1 star!! Bought it for Father's Day for my husband first time trying it and it overheated. I have been busy working so haven't had a chance to return it till today and guess what can't return it only had 2 weeks to return. Very disappointed in Best Buy. I won't be purchasing anything from Best Buy any time soon.

    This drone immediately flew onto my roof and got stuck so I decided to get the Mavic series instead.
