End of April now is what I heard. They are still in the Alfa stage and not even moved on to the beta stage from what the Autel people are saying on facebook. Thats not good if you ask me.

Its a complete re-write of the code, better stability is one thing it will have. Not sure of other things they are adding or doing.

Tim at Autel, spoke to him 2 weeks ago about an issue I was having discussed the new firmware and what it will entail along with changes to waypoints and new things in store for that option as well.
One of the things he stressed was the stability fixes, yaw fixes and other things that the update will open up for the future things they have planned.

Update from Kenneth AR on the Facebook group about 30 mins ago
I wanted to drop by and give an update on a few things we are working on...
First the new firmware (yes, it is still being tested, tuned and tweaked) but it is starting to look very solid. You saw the preview of the firmware at CES; it's gotten better.
The estimate to begin limited rollout is mid to second half of April with release end of April. This is assuming nothing critical is found as we finalize testing.
Functionally, the changes are mainly for stability with a few enhancements to autonomous missions.
Stay tuned. Beta app update next.

I'm not sure what I just watched. Are you saying the consumers are being duped by Autel?

It was a video to get Autel off their butts to give the consumers what they have promised in the month of May. Something they have not delivered.
I posted this to their facebook page and about 30 minutes later they came up with this little trinket.

3. Photo Sharing: Users can share JPEGs and videos within 1080P.
If you would like to try (or beta test) the app prior to the official release, you can do so by following below steps.
