Awesome app
After I got my 107 certification 4 years ago I was using this app for my flight plan and atc permissions to fly in class b airspace where needed. Then a year or so ago AirMap was bought or resolved by drone up. I searched for over a year for another app and none even come close for ease of use as AirMap. About a month ago a fellow friend and drone enthusiasts informed me that AirMap was up and going again. I am so thankful and find myself flying more and much more at ease when I fly. Again thanks again for opening back up

Easy to Use
First time using AirMap. The last two times I tried to get authorization the process failed. Had worked earlier signing in on the DJI fly app but it stopped working. Process seems A-Ok as I tried it from home. Will hit the field later to try it. Ty guys for all that you do

I enjoy AirMap being able to plan and file a flight. It’s great. Being a former Commercial Corporate pilot I feel we all must do what ever it takes to keep the traveling public as safe as possible.
Great improvements.
Great improvements.
Keeping it simple
This map is very simple and easy to understand. With minimal time spent the average person should be able to understand if they are in a restricted area or not. If you choose to fly a drone it is very important that you know where and where not to fly.
Help requires help…
Access to help, FAQ, and support requires some sort of combination of Typeform account and what appears to be an account on the developers site. I haven’t been able to figure it all out after considerable effort. Contacting the developer seems to be behind one of these accounts too. Incredibly frustrating and completely unnecessary.

Dont support this company. They are terrible
Historically, Airmap has been hostile to the idea of open skies for drones. They spent over $170,000 a year to lobby for Senator Feinstein’s Drone Federalism Bill which would privatize the first 200 feet of airspace and would have negatively impacted airspace even above that altitude' the DSPA explains. 'They continued this effort lobbying extensively for H.R. 2930, known as the Drone Innovation Act. Then in 2019, Airmap attempted to push through (and almost succeeded) a model rule through the Uniform Law Commission until people in the drone industry pushed back.'

Needs work in my limited knowledge of it
Data should be posted after clicking on a color/area.
The indicator on the main screen will be red even though there are no actual restrictions. This is b/c the restricted areas do encroach onto the screen IF the iPhone screen was truly a rectangle.
Navigation can be vastly improved.

Has let me down several times!
AirMap, on several occasions, has let me down on commercial drone shoots several times now with the message “AirMap is not able to process FAA Controlled Airspace Authorization request at this time. Please try again soon.”
It used to happen every now and then but I’m going on 2 days with the same message every time.
Don’t waste your time with it.

Taxation
Air map is trying to convince the federal government to tax drone operators on man aircraft systems which ever you wanna call it they’re doing their best to have the actions we do taxed so I am deleting air map along with several others on the form that I found out about this I will just use Kitty Hawk for all my needs .So lol air map you really screwed up and we’re get the word out in theWhole drone community.

Great drone flight companion
Absolutely love this app ease-of-use quick response when you submit a flight plan one of the best apps out there
Ain’t for the drone community
Over the years, they have showed that they don't always support Part 107 operators. Their response last year to the NPRM was an example of that, where they supported the implementation of Remote ID as proposed.
Today, they are proposing take-off and landing fees for UAS which is just outrageous.
In terms of the actual app it struggles. Hard to navigate and find information. I would highly suggest the app “Kittyhawk” as a replacement.

IF YOU WANT TAXES ON ALL YOUR FLIGHTS
This company is so bad for small and medium sized UAS businesses. Their goal is to tax every landing and take off in federally controlled airspace. As a business we already pay our dues to the federal government who controls the national airspace. Also if you’re a HOBBY PILOT, YOU GET TAXED TOO!
I’m all for paying for a LAANC and UTM service but to give my info out for FREE, And then be taxed by a city/state and a portion goes to the them. My advice is take your valuable information and money elsewhere.

Great App.
This is a great app for flying drones. Let’s you know if you can fly or not in the area that you’re in so you don’t get into trouble. You’re suppose to always check that and this app makes it simple to do!!!
Airspace Identification
I like the app because I can quickly tell it's OK to launch at a particular location. Quick, simple and a nice graphic!
Does Not Work For Me
Have my part 107 and have a small drone business. I was very excited when AirMap was introduced. My main clients were in airspace that did not require FAA approval. As I expanded my business into airspace that required FAA approval AirMap would not deliver. I live in the DFW area so I know LAANC is available. I’ve attempted on several occasions to contact AirMap via their feedback but never got a response. I’m now using a competitor and on my first request for a FAA approval it was granted within 45 seconds. I’m sure AirMap work for others but it did not work for me.

Worked really good before but doesn’t want to work now
Went to go use the app, and they completely logged me out. I tried logging back in about 15 times if not more, and each time that App would just glitch out. I even tried resetting my password and the link they sent my email glitches out. Tried going to support and it just sits there loading. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling.. I don’t know what the hell happened to this app because before it was amazing and had everything you could possibly need to fly, but now nothing seems to work.. this needs to be fixed because you have to be signed in to plan a flight or to see any information at all. I guess I’ll have to make another acc. Hopefully this one doesn’t disappear...

Love it!
Love the app, but every time I’m on the app, the screen brightness goes up and I can’t lower it, unless I close the app, it’s good to use full brightness, but some days, it’s better lower. Please fix, thank you!
App interface is utterly confusing
In my past career, I worked for a software company translating UI’s. This app is utterly and annoyingly impossible to figure out how to actually use. Every time I’ve had to use it I sit there for 40 mins trying to figure out how to get permission for my flight.
Well I’ve been trying to figure this out between AirMap and kittyhawk for 40 mins and ran out of time for the shoot. Can’t figure out how to get approval for flight in air maps and can’t figure out how to actually fly in kittyhawk since the fly button is grayed out with no explanation. Lame. Now I guess I’ll have to come back later.

A Must Have for Legal Flight
It’s hard enough to find a place to fly today if you live inside city limits. Using Air Map and getting that authorization shows that you are flying by the rules. Also gives you some backup if stopped by law enforcement.
AirMap Limitations
Love the AirMap concept but not happy about the seeming lack of complete access to it in and around SLC and northern Utah. When will AirMap be fully functional in areas within five miles of these areas at flights below 400’, 200’, and 100’.
