Do you think the smartphone is suitable to control quadcopter?

The quadcopter is a special product which can fall down because of a small error. So safety is a basic requirement. Multi rotor like the DJI Phantom, AEE Toruk uses the traditional radio control which the precision and reliability of operation is higher. But it takes long time for the operator to take charge of flying the quadcopter. Smartphone controlling via app has been used by quadcopter like Ehang Ghost. It is easier for the operator to master the flying, but inferior in operating precision. Do you think the smartphone is suitable to control quadcopter? If there is no safety problem, will you choose to use the radio controlled quadcopter or the smartphone controlled quadcopter?

HI I would use the transmitter to control as your feel the sticks in our finger and will get a feed back of how far your moving them , A smart phone will give you nothing back and there is more of a chance of software problems
