great app! free too!
i love this app! i was gonna download uav forecast or whatever it is but its not free so i found this and its free! yeah, no wind speeds above 400 feet but that could be considered both good or bad. i would prefer up to 500m but either way great app
Genuine must have for drone pilots
I’ve been using AirData for about 6 months and it provides valuable data about the forecast like wind, temperature, visibility and most importantly satellites!
It also has the ability to go look back at previous flights and look at what happened.

Update
Having used this app for over two years now, I’m starting to be a little bit disappointed. I love the AirData website. I use it all the time. I just wish that they would spend some time moving some of the functionalities on the website into the app, at least as much as possible. For instance, there are times that I need to show a potential client or someone I am working with logbook information, such as, total number of flight hours, make and model flown, number of hours flown in the last 90 days, etc. The website gives you a badge, that summarizes that data. You cannot pull up a badge on this app to show anybody. On the website I can at least pull up a list of all of the certificates and trainings that I have done, even the ones that they don’t process into a badge. There are a lot of search and rescue training courses that AirData doesn’t make badges for, but people need to see. On the website, I can at least save those certificates and pull them up. On this app, I cannot even pull up the table that lists the courses.
So, overall this app is great if you’re a hobbyist or a recreationalist, but if you’re working on a professional level in either the civilian or public service side, you have to be using the website, instead of the app.
========== previous review ===============
I am a former aviation safety manager for a major US airline. This app gives me almost everything I need for a complete personal Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program for my private drone services company in retirement. A safety assurance program for my Safety Management Systems certification. Well done. Reach out to me if you want some ideas for improvements.

Good app tells the wind speed
So much good Informarion!
I got the app because I crashed my DJI drone and needed to know which of my batteries was involved in the crash. The app gave me the serial number needed to identify the battery
