  • Missing camera control

    This app is missing a lot of camera settings when using a DJI aircraft.

    No color space control, no codec selection and the aperture setting its crazy and doesn’t work.
  • Not a good way to change what was great

    I’m always respectful so I’ll make this quick and Politely. It’s Missing so much from the previous version. I haven’t used the app but a couple times for LAANC approvals which were great. Only took less than one minute to get approval sent to me. I Haven’t tried with this version but looks like it’s basically the same easy process for approvals so that’s good. I just really liked all the other functions. I have no issue using landscape mode with my iPad or iPhone so not sure why it isn’t working for others. My same login and password worked fine as well and has everything saved from previous version. I hope this gets updated quickly for others as I don’t need often. I think it would have been better to keep the older version working until the new version was closer to being complete so pilots could have a choice. Patiently waiting. Good luck and best wishes.

    Developer Response

    What a great review. Thank you, Arizona Patriot. We know how much people loved the old app, but we've also seen record usage for LAANC, etc. on Air Control since the switch. Please note that our goal is not to reproduce the old app, but improve on those core experiences, and with Air Control that means a simpler, faster mobile experience complimented by a full-featured web application -- https://air.aloft.ai/ If you ever have questions, feedback, ideas, or want to have a dialog, we'd welcome that any time -- support@aloft.ai :) Thanks for flying with Aloft!
  • Do not download!

    I used to enjoy using this app because I live near an airport and rely on LAANC authorization. Today I fired up my app in order to fly. Unfortunately the app won’t allow me to create the area where I will be flying. It allows me to see my are yet cannot create a flight zone. The map moves but the handles on the flight area do not allow me to do what I need to do.
  • Login Issues - Fixed!

    Thanks for addressing the login issues, cheers!
  • Missing features from predecessor

    This replacement is missing many of the features from the original aloft including Faceid login and a 7 day weather forecast. This forecast was super accurate and now you only get real time weather at your location. Wth bring back the easy to use interface and accurate forecast
  • A disaster

    Third different app from this company for the same purpose in about a year and each version seems to get worse. this app doesn’t have 90% of what the last one did for instance, where are the archive Laanc approvals? No face login etc. a giant step back. Kitty hawk was best.
  • Less intuitive than the classic.

    Portrait view only. Less user friendly. Hard to find logs and saved locations. Needs lots of work. Unsat rollout of this product.
  • Useless

    Can’t sign in; can’t change password; can’t establish new account; no support. With this quality of software people are just going to fly without using it.
  • Not ready for launch

    Really? You let this launch with NO support for landscape orientation on the iPad?
  • Changed to this from Aloft

    I can’t figure out where my previous Authorizations are on this map. Aloft suddenly stopped working and I had to change to this, but I have upcoming authorizations and I am not sure how to check them.
