New to droning

It would be great if this app could have a ‘this app is authorised by the CAA’ or something so you can shoe noisy members of the public who seem to think the app is from China. (It’s not a Chinese app is it ? 🧐)

Very useful

Clear and great tool to let others know you are flying nearby and also provides great all in one place pre-flight test and assessments.

Login is a mess

They’ve changed the domain name so my auto fill didn’t work. Rest the password only to be able to log in on the web and not in the app, which reported the same password as incorrect. Gave up, too hard.

Essential Tool for Drone Pilots

This app makes it so easy to submit a flight plan and ensure that you are flying legally and made aware of potential hazards.
Being able to submit a flight plan then gives you a record of your flights for reference in the future.
I have been using it now for a few months and am impressed on how easy it is to use.
Sure, it’s not perfect but if you want to be a responsible drone pilot then using this app will help to make sure you operate within CAA guidelines.

Hello DABroke, thank you for your review, and great to hear you are enjoying using Drone Assist and finding it valuable! We have a fantastic set of enhancements and features coming down the line, that will continue to improve the app. Safe Flying!

Drone Assist App, really good now.

Hugely improved from the original. Flight Plans are a good addition along with SSSI’s, I find my anxiety levels have dropped considerably having these things under on roof.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to review Drone Assist and glad to see you are a fan! We are working hard in the background to continually improve the app, so we hope you enjoy future improvements as much as you enjoy the current version. Fly Safe!

Pilot

Can’t start a new mission.

App says you must be a pilot. Please add one.

I can’t find anywhere in the App where I can do that. Please help.

Response from developer

Hi Bird Rocker, Sorry to hear you have experienced this. To add a pilot, please navigate to the "You" section on the bottom bar, select "Profile" and you will find "Register as a Pilot" there. Thank you for your feedback. We have now produced a better journey for this for this to make this easier for future users. That will be deployed with our next release in the coming weeks. We hope this helps you and you can start to enjoy the App. Safe Flying!

One of the best to be able to stay legal ….

DA is a great app that gives the essential info to recreational and commercial drone pilots to ensure they stay legal with regards to flight restrictions. DJI can’t match FRZ as accurately as DA leaving a possibility to inadvertently operate a drone in a flight restricted zone. Recent additions of weather info, flight planning and inclusion of UTM ready airports make this a valuable app to anyone flying drones.

Pre-planned flight

I have just noticed that he flight I have booked for tomorrow, the times have been changed in drone assist and starts 1hr earlier and finishing 1h earlier than I have booked in my FMS?

Hi Diver606631 Thank you for your review. We are investigating the issue you have encountered. Safe Flying!

Even Better!

I’ve been using the Altitude Angel Drone Assist App for several years now and the recent upgrades to the App are frankly just brilliant. Whenever I teach a student I always point then in the direction of the App. It was good before and now is excellent!

Response from developer

Hi Aerodrone-AISC. Great to hear from a longtime user of Drone Assist, and even better that you are a fan of the major overhaul we have given the app. You will be pleased to know we have lots more planned to enhance the experience moving forward too! Thank you for taking the time to review! Safe flying!

Not perfect, but essential !

Download this. That’s the starting point. It will help you to operate within the law, and it will alert you to any hazards or restrictions you need to know about.

You might not realise how close to an airport you are, or where the nearest sources of electrical interference are. With this app, you will.

Although the app isn’t perfect, they are working on improvements and I got to see part of that process recently. I can tell they’re really trying to make this an indispensable tool for drone flyers in the UK.
