Only a fool, would fly their drone without checking this app first. Drones have wind speed and visual barriers… This app gives you the all clear or the no go
I love this app. Helps me set parameters that I want to fly safe.
The only issue I have with the app, is it displays winds 180 degrees off. It shows where wind are blowing to instead of where winds are coming from. 180 from what pilot is used to seeing.
I use UAV forecast every week before I head out to take aerial photographs for work. I always want to make sure wind, cloud cover and satellite locks are in perfect conditions. UAV forecast also shows an hourly forecast of the whole day which helps me plan. Overall a fantastic tool to any drone pilot.
Does not work, second day messages saying cannot connect to server...
I am a Part 107 commercial UAS pilot and I use this app to plan every job. I also use it to supplement an official weather briefing from Flight Service. It gives hour by hour predictions for wind speed, expected visibility, satellite coverage, cloud coverage and Kp index. This is a MUST HAVE app for any drone pilot.
This is a fantastic app. Very usable. I rely on it every time I fly. I’d love to see the ability to set bounds on sustained wind and gusts separately. Also an iOS 14 widget would be incredible.
Lately I have found that the wind speed and direction it’s not even remotely close to actual conditions, this makes it quite useless to me. What’s going on with this?
Thanks for making it easier to see the upcoming signal strength on one screen. Very weather app like now. Keep up the great work
Love this app it’s very accurate and has all the information you need thx for the great app!
