The devices listed on this page have been tested by Skydio and determined to either be compatible or not compatible with our app and controller. 

  • Skydio Android app version requires Android 10 or higher
  • Skysio iOS app version requires iOS 14 or higher

[note] If flying a Skydio drone that has Remote ID enabled, to be FAA compliant your mobile device must use GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location services, or have integrated GNSS, and it must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location reported and its correlation to the operator location (do not disable location services). Check with your device manufacturer to confirm which location service it uses. [/note]

Recommended Devices

Minimum storage required for all devices: ~500mb

[note] These devices have been tested and confirmed to work with Skydio, but not all devices are WAAS enabled or have integrated GNSS. Ensure your device is FAA-compliant if flying with a Remote ID-enabled drone. [/note]
