WARNING for GO App

And this isn't the first thread about this. The Go app has been out for how long? And threads like this popped up instantly as soon as the first people noticed. This kind of thing can happen with ANY app, not just DJI. Developers can change the name of an app, change the opening splash graphic, and people freak out because they had auto update turned on but didn't pay attention to what was updating. Same thing with people and Windows auto update for the last 20 years.
Jesus Christ Guys and Gals,
I did not think that my posting about loosing the Pilot App would cause so much controversy. It is just that in the past, we have downloaded supposed improvements, only to see them blow up in our faces. The Phantom 2 is a case in point to name one.
I have since downloaded all the new firmware for my P3P and P3S, which includes the controllers and such. So yeah, I am now using the DJI Go update to fly my Phantoms. My original point was that I lost the PILOT APP without my permission. That was all I was trying to WARN people about.
So if you all go back and read my original post, you will see this and that I am being truthful with you. I still believe that DJI should have made the DJI GO App a completely separate ICON in the Apps page and not over written and removed it without permission with the ability to keep the original App in case it is needed or wanted.
Case in point, the new Go App limits height and distance to 500 meters for both, which applies to all P3's. So we lost height and distance Folks, with the new DJI Go app. If I am wrong on the height and distance, then please let me know. I would also like to be able to download the old Pilot App if someone has it.

First, you said you lost an app without permission... YOU told it to update, or didnt tell it not too
Second, its the same app, so why would it exist twice?
Third.. They did NOT reduce the range! I have 6 flights today that were over a mile.
Google up Lake Ouachita or Lena Landing in Federal Parks and Campgrounds, then you will know.
If you flew over a mile today then I am really pleased to hear that. Will see if I can do the same in the near future. Thanks
I had a couple flights Saturday that were 2 + miles .
Check you trash from itunes it will still be there if you had backed it up to your computer put in a folder and delete the new app in itunes and put back the old app and resync the phone or tablet ....
all api apps should be backed up if you want to go back ,,,all apps that I want to keep I put in a folder from old to new api apps that way you can go back to support old software .....SO ANYBODY that whats a why to go back... check your trash and pull them out before you loose it and save all new apps in folder out of itunes so copy them.......
And so your point is what? These people are all stupid and shouldn't be allowed to own a drone? Learn to just deal with it. Maybe just move on without making a comment if you can't offer any help to that person that doesn't have a degree in computers.
My point was that the fact that the app updated isn't news. Many other threads on it, so the OP shouldn't have been so surprised by it. You don't need a degree in computers, just the ability to read.
