What's a good Android app for flying my drone from my phone, without needing that dinky controller all the time?

Drone Remote Control. Tutorial's garbage, but the app itself? Solid. Gets the job done, even with my gloves on.

Alright, so I needed somethin' to fly my drone without lugging around that plastic controller. Found this 'Drone Remote Control' app. Now, lemme tell ya, the tutorial is completely useless. Like, who even wrote that thing? But, once you figure it out – and it ain't rocket science – it's actually pretty damn good. I've been using it on the job site, rain or shine, and it hasn't crapped out on me yet. Screen's clear enough, even in bright sunlight, and I can actually control the drone without taking my gloves off. Battery life on my phone takes a hit, gotta admit. Always pack a power bank now. But, for convenience? Can't beat it. It's built like a brick house, this thing. Survived a couple of drops already. No BS, gets the job done.
