What’s New
Version 3.15.1
Maven 3.15 – The future of flight planning is here!
3D Flight Preview
Experience a realistic simulation of your mission before takeoff! The new 3D preview lets you visualize the entire drone path in an immersive way, right inside the app — essential for verifying if your mission has been planned correctly before flying.
KML Export
You can now export your missions in KML format, ready to be viewed with compatible 3D mapping or virtual globe tools. Perfect for analyzing and sharing your flights!
Bug Fixes
We’ve addressed some issues reported by users to give you an even smoother and more reliable experience.
This version fixes an issue that could crash the app when attempting to export a mission in KML format on some iPads.

Ratings and Reviews
Perhaps my expectations were high
This app is fine if you want a point of interest that is large and you can allow a little bit of variance between your waypoints. It doesn’t work so well if the point of interest is yourself and you’re wanting to get some close shots. Each mission seemed to be off the mark a little bit. I returned the next day and it was like 15 feet difference from the previous day. I’m sure I will use this for some things but not what I had in mind. Perhaps I was a bit naive as this is my first drone and my expectations were high.
Saved me $750
I want follow-me functionality for my DJI mini 2. It’s available on the DJI mini 3 pro for $759. I’m satisfied with the photos and videos from my mini 2. I don’t color grade my videos nor post on tik tok, so upgrading just to the mini 3 pro just to get follow-me and tracking didn’t make sense. I started looking at alternative flight programs and Maven was getting excellent reviews for follow-me and tracking so I thought I’d try it out. I am not disappointed! On my first attempt I got follow-me working. I was able to get tracking with circular orbit working with no problems for the second test. Finally, after watching a couple of tutorials I programmed my first mission which included 5 waypoints, 2 altitude changes and a 540 degree orbit around a POI. I headed to the park and the mission worked perfectly. Excellent package that meets my wants and expectations without having to replace my hardware.
Amazing Engineering to make Amazing App
The developer, Michele, has put far more thought and expertise into this application than we generally see with any app, except with the ones generated by the Googles and Microsofts of the world. Makes even a very basic drone to be capable of things that DJI, for whatever reason, has declined to include. Perhaps because they involve thoughtful input from the user, which is all spelled out in exceptional user guides - in multiple languages. The inclusion of a VR mode, which runs not on the manufacturer’s goggles, but on the cheap, plastic lens headset that you can get for less than $20, is adaptable and adjustable for any user’s eye separation, or vertical focus anomalies. All in all, this clearly was a labor of love, by a very capable engineer, with plenty of time she was willing to invest. Try it; you’ll like it!
