Another updated review - April 2026 Updated Review + Request to Devs
It seems at this stage whenever the app is updated, all that changes is that you need to click on things multiple times to do the exact same thing.
If I input an address and try to create a flight plan. I have to input the location, then select one of two tools to draw a location then I have to adjust the size. Before this last update I could just write in the address and adjust the size of the flight area.
If the flight is in an uncontrolled aerodrome, it will have a pop up showing who I need to contact, I click “got it!” Then the exact same pop up comes up again to get to the screen where I input the flight information.
Another update 1/03/23
It is back to being terrible. If I use the app, exit (without closing) and then go straight back in seconds later, I now have to log in again. Almost unusable at this point.
Previously this app has been terrible to use. In the last six months it has really improved in stability. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely not a massive pain like it was. One request I would like to make is that when selecting the height that we are flying to, allow us to type in the number rather than using the slider. If you are trying to put a specific height in to comply with a local height restriction it can be very annoying. The slider for the flight radius also resets if you want to adjust it slightly. Keep up the work dev team 😊

Buggy app
Not formatted for smaller iPhone. I can’t login as I cannot see the submit button. :(
Not Trustworthy
Can’t rely on this app to know if it’s ok to fly. Shows no restrictions in Fiordland NP when there are multiple no drones signs.
Disappointing
Initially great to use but then I was unable to log in and now it tells me that my account has been disabled. As a recreational drone user and trying to do the right I find it frustrating and disappointing.
Keeps logging user out
Initially I thought the issue was with me, however I soon realised that the app was logging me out all the time. This is quite frustrating when you are trying to be an accountable drone operator and do the right thing. (Recreational User)
Hooray!
This update seems to have fixed having to log in every time I open the app. And the zones layers load correctly only the main map upon opening the app.

Can’t login
This is a stupid app. I can’t even setup login and password have tried to reset a number of times.
Bad interface and app
The app interface is rubbish. Using the app causes my iPhone 12 to overheat! I can’t imagine what using it on an older device would do. It’s hard to navigate and lots of zones like danger zones aren’t on the map. Needs lots of improvement.
Requires registration
Requires registration to see map, which seems a little unnecessary. Also the app itself is fully 100% broken, and login does not work in any capacity.
Can’t say if it’s good…
…because I can’t get past the login page. Shame - I really wanted to like this.
Constant crashing & clunky interface and never remembers login details
I'm using this app for work (real estate videography) I want to be responsible and ensure I'm flying safely. I need to rely on this app to work to ensure my flights are logged and it has been painful from the outset. It crashes alot, doesnt remember login details, the map search in the first screen doesnt allow you to move forward into booking once you've searched an address its really just painful. Also one big gripe is it not allowing back into booked flights that are currently active to end the flight. This is one the primary requests from air traffic control so they know when your down and on my app I cant click through without relaunching the app, and relogging in (retyping full emaill and pw). Considering this is the ONLY app available to log flights and get the flight ref numbers it really should be more stable and reliable than this. I'd even PAY for a better app if It saved my time, hassle and stress at work.

Can’t login
Please fix the login issue otherswise this app is useless
iPad fail
Don’t use this app on an ipad. Locks on a page & can’t go back. Have deleted app 3 times & reinstalled, still comes back on locked page, also doesn’t display a lot the restricted flying areas. Designers need to do a lot on this app to make it work!
It’s a dog
Maybe the developers should try signing up a new account a few times! . Buggy and locked out- what a piece of junk
Super slow
App is really slow. It takes too much time to load.
No response
Tried for first time no response from anyone still showing pending approval
App is crashing
iPad mini 6 - app is crashing after opening
Can’t even get past the login page
Don’t know how long this bug is due to continue for but bringing my laptop around / calling ATC to cancel is not really ideal. See a lot of others with the same issue.
So slow, barely operational
Surprising that law requires drone users to fly in certain areas and the app barely works…
