Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is an outdated perception that originates from the early years of Maven, when the app was initially available only on iOS. Today, Maven is fully supported on both iOS and Android platforms. Over the years, the ecosystem has expanded significantly, and Android has become a major focus for new capabilities and compatibility with newer DJI drone models. Maven continues to support legacy drones across both platforms while introducing modern mission planning features, improved flight control systems, and advanced waypoint functionality. The Android apps, including Maven and Maven EVO, play an important role in driving innovation for newer drones, while the iOS version remains actively maintained and optimized for stability and compatibility. As a result, Maven should be considered a cross-platform DJI mission planning ecosystem rather than an iOS-only application. The ecosystem is further complemented by MavenRoute, a web-based mission planning platform that allows users to design and preview missions on desktop before flying them with the Maven mobile apps.

Note: For supported drones not listed above, waypoint missions are typically executed using our Maven Virtual Stick Engine (continuous RC connection required).
Important note (EU / safety behavior):
Even when a mission is executed onboard, in many European regions the aircraft may be required to stop the mission if the remote controller link is lost, depending on local regulations and the drone’s built-in safety/failsafe behavior. Always keep the required link and follow your local rules.
The virtual stick mode (or joystick mode) is a special flight mode in which the drone receives the piloting commands from the app instead of the remote control. Drones that cannot “natively” perform waypoint missions (due to hardware / firmware limitations) execute missions in virtual stick mode, which means that the application constantly pilots the drone throughout the execution of the mission and consequently it requires a stable and continuous connection. If the connection is lost during a mission in Virtual Stick mode, the drone will either hover in place or return to its starting point, depending on the fail-safe settings configured in the app.
Maven is a one-time purchase.
Once you buy the app, it’s yours — no monthly or yearly subscription required.
No, the purchase is tied to the platform where it was made. We do not sell licenses, but rather the app itself through the platform’s store (App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android).
Additionally, our app does not require any login or account system. This means there is no way for us to verify purchases across different platforms. Apple and Google operate their stores independently, and purchases made on one platform cannot be transferred to another.
If you switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), a new purchase is required.
