Can I fly right now? 17 METEO answers in a second: green — fly, yellow — caution, red — better wait. And it always tells you why. A drone is hundreds of hours of work and serious money. One weather mistake takes it away in a minute. Set your aircraft's limits once, or pick one of 50+ ready-made profiles (DJI Mavic, Mini, Air, Matrice, Autel EVO and professional platforms), and every forecast is checked against YOUR drone — no more stitching the picture together from five tabs of raw numbers. AI FORECASTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Real next-generation neural weather models deliver a go/no-go verdict with a confidence level, cross-checked against a classical model. The model-agreement card shows whether ECMWF, GFS and ICON converge — how much today's forecast can be trusted. WHAT YOU GET • Go/no-go traffic light — tuned to your drone, not the "average weather" • Nearest green launch window — when it opens and how long it lasts • Detailed wind profile by altitude up to 3,000 m • Hourly forecast for 24 h and a 15-day outlook • GNSS monitor with spoofing alerts and a visible-satellite forecast • Route analysis: weather where your aircraft will BE, accounting for flight time • Pilot calculators: Point of No Return (PNR), wind triangle, radio line-of-sight (Fresnel zone, 360° coverage, MGRS) • Upper air: winds and temps to FL450, Skew-T diagram, CAPE, freezing level • Geomagnetic activity (Kp), lightning risk, density altitude, icing risk • Astronomy: twilight, moon phase, thermal crossover • Battery state before launch with cold-weather derating • Bluetooth anemometer support — ground-truth wind • Air-raid alert (selected regions) BEYOND THE AIR Naval mode: wave height, sea state and departure windows for surface platforms. Ground mode: soil trafficability, night-frost windows, fords and control-link range. APPLE WATCH Readiness on your wrist: colored verdict, temperature and the limiting factor — without reaching for the phone. WORKS EVERYWHERE Worldwide coverage: the same forecast at any point on the planet. Offline maps and forecast cache keep working with no connectivity. Built in Ukraine — proven by pilots where weather decides everything. PRIVACY (OPSEC) Everything is computed on-device. The app collects and transmits nothing — there is simply nothing to leak. Private by default. Built for people who fly for a living: aerial photo and video, FPV, inspections, search and rescue, agriculture. The dashboard is fully customizable — keep only the cards you need. Localized in English and Ukrainian. 17 METEO — fewer guesses, more confidence before takeoff. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-18 • Added location input using MGRS coordinates • Improved stability and fixed other issues ### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-01 • Weather forecast extended to 15 days — more time to plan ahead. • Fixed issues affecting map functionality. • Improved app stability and performance. • Other fixes and improvements. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-14 This update fixes several bugs and improves overall app stability.
