Critical tool for sUAS!

I love this app, I check it before every job

4 updates in one week!!! No thanks

I was using this app with no issues until today. This week it has been updated four times with no obvious reason. I hate all apps with very frequent updates with no reason, no new features... deleted

TERRIFIC APP + EXCELLENT SUPPORT!

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. I had an issue with the app canceling out, but developer Matt Lloyd personally took care it. Thanks Matt for for the excellent support!

Nice

Really like the new streamlined updates. Tapping g on wind conditions to set altitude is way less cumbersome than the old version. Nice job.

---

Useful app

Very helpful app. I always use this app before every flight. Nice to see detailed info and specially wind speeds a various height levels.

---

Way overpriced.

The subscription should be much cheaper, right now it’s over twenty dollars! Crazy expensive, not worth the money

Excellent app for UAV pilots

I’ve only been flying for a month so everything is still pretty new to me. This app shows me exactly what I need to know for my flight planning purposes, and it does so with a really efficient and easy to read grid of information. Pros: > I can change thresholds for any of the weather or atmospheric metrics > I can send a snapshot of the weather/forecast to myself to add to my flight log later > The app is updated regularly. If you’re looking for sUAS apps (or any apps for that matter), check out the last time they were updated! > I bought the subscription and I think having several days’ worth of data is worth the small price - helps a lot for planning flights for later in the week. Cons: > Not a con, but a feature request. Please consider adding a way to store a few favorite locations. I currently save GPS coordinates in a notepad page and paste them into search when trying to plan a flight, but favorites would be a little easier. Overall excellent app for uav weather as long as they keep doing a great job keeping the app up to date and simple to use.

Inaccurate

This app is useless. At my location app states 100% cloud cover and states not good to fly. Looking outside maybe 50-60% cloud cover. Why is cloud cover a consideration in determining wether it is good to fly?

Change the fee for 5x the subscribers

$6.99 is a reasonable subscription fee. I would pay that and so would 60 people in my group, but this fee is ridiculous. Sincerely, Tesla holdings.

Great app

As a Part 107 pilot and first responder pilot, I depend upon an app to work consistently and accurately. The developers have stayed on top of problems and correct bugs quickly. A very good app. Must have for Part 107 pilots.
