Great app

Was looking for a good app, downloaded a few, and this is my favorite. I can do a checklist, which is great just because that way I don’t forget something. It also obviously has b4ufly which is important. In my opinion though, the nail in the coffin is the notify and fly which lets other people see who’s flying were. Also great that I don’t need an account. Only negative is that the checklist for getting your drone for the first time don’t go away, but I don’t really care and I see why they might do that.

No Data

Not sure why this is listed for Canada. Does not contain any Data for Canadian airspace.

Buggy

For some screens like notify the X and arrow buttons just click the background so you must kill the app.
I think it can’t deal with font sizes or something.

Awesome Drone App

I have used many different drone apps. Finally I’ve found one that is not only super easy to use, it is extremely accurate. And it’s actually made by one of the most trustworthy people out there, pilot institute.

Why are there like 4 apps?

I don’t know what this company is doing but they keep releasing apps then dropping support for them and releasing a new one, yet leaving the old ones up on the app store.

I have a couple of other apps to check airspace and they show an area near an Air Force Base as restricted airspace (obviously) while this app shows it as yellow (fly with caution). All these apps should be pulling the same FAA data so not sure why this one is inaccurate?

Doesn’t show other LAANC

This has been my go to app for LAANC. I really like that I can do a “notify and fly” notification when I don’t need LAANC. I think that is a great idea to further enhance NAS safety. However, I am trying out a new app, AutoPylot as my backup in case this one doesn’t work for some reason. I posted a LAANC flight through that app but it does not show up in this app. I think any and all LAANC requests should show up in all LAANC apps to enhance pilot situational awareness and NAS safety of flight. If 5 other pilots are flying around me and all five are using a diferent app than me, none of us will know there are multiple other drones in the area causing a dangerous collision risk. This issue should be addressed by all LAANC apps immediately!

Poor usability

After typing in an address; the keyboard remains on screen obscuring map. There are much better apps available.

Very inconsistant

The app does not always work even from a location that worked previously Can usually only check my immediate area. Not useful if I am going to travel and check conditions where I am going

Must Have App

Works great and is very reliable!

Not Ready for Use

This app isn’t ready. Buttons disappear at the bottom of screen (iPhone 13 Pro), layers are not selectable, and no altitude grids inside controlled space.
