  • No Sign In With Apple support

    Rather insulting to iPhone users that this app now has Google sign in support but does not have Sign In With Apple support.

  • Cool app, but missing some important restrictions

    Looks like an app that has great potential but it does not list a number of restricted areas. Specifically California Department of Fish and Wildlife areas that have flight restrictions in CA. In my area the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area and most other DFW wildlife areas show as green but they are definite no-fly areas without a DFW permit.

    It makes me wonder what other restrictions are missing if I’m flying in an unfamiliar area.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding our app. We appreciate your input and understand your concern regarding the missing information about flight restrictions in California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) areas. While we currently do not integrate with California fish and wildlife areas, we do provide information on various other restricted areas and airspace regulations, including but not limited to UASFM, LAANC, national parks, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, MOAs, and TFRs. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the absence of specific DFW flight restrictions in your area, such as the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. We are constantly working to improve our database and expand our coverage to include more areas, such as the California fish and wildlife areas. We strive to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information for our users, so your feedback is valuable to us, and we will consider it as we continue to enhance our application. Thank you again for your feedback and for using our app. Best, AutoPylot Team
  • Easy to setup

    As a Part 107 remote pilot, I was able to setup my first mission with incredible ease. A lot of useful information was displayed at a glance once the mission was approved. I am impressed.

  • Very user friendly but I would like to see more.

    I have to start this review by saying this app is great. It works well and does everything you need to register to fly in controlled air space. I would like to see more features that would be useful for my work. Now that checklists are included I would love to see a button on the mission side that lets you manually mark the mission as flown with the option to add any post flight notes needed after the mission. I would also love to see a place to list all drones and batteries owned with a spot in the missions where you can note which drone and batteries you are flying with. I have just been adding that information in the notes tab and it can be tedious. Regardless of those wishes I will be continuing to use this app as it is one of the friendliest to use out their.

  • Very user friendly AND necessary depending where you fly

    I live near an airport and therefore am within a controlled area. It is not just any airport but one where the state Police helicopters and the Air National Guard fly out of - and they fly low.

    Applying for and receiving FAA authorization is required for legal drone flight otherwise the consequences can be very severe. This app made the LAANC process very smooth. I did not think it would be so quick and easy - especially reading the reviews about other apps. Besides the LAANC I could check for other temporary flight restrictions.

    This app is a necessity in my opinion for legal and responsible drone flying. Even if one does not lived in an area with controlled airspace it is still good to check for FAA TFRs.

    For better or worse there is going to be more scrutiny of drone flying. Apps like this take a lot of stress away from the wondering β€œAm I legal or not?” Keep that in mind because later this year the FAA will require drones to broadcast their ID’s. Assume you are going to be β€œon their radar” so stay legal, stay safe, and stay responsible.
  • Great app!

    This is a great app to use for planning drone operations - including LAANC approvals. It is very easy to use. This has become my app of choice.
