### 4/5 — Sehr gut!

*2026-09-17*

Grüß dich! Du hast eine sehr schöne App entwickelt. Besteht bei dir die Möglichkeit, dass man in den Einstellungen selbst entscheiden kann, welche Seite beim öffnen der App erscheint ? Beispielsweise öffne ich die App und kann festlegen, dass der Luftraum direkt als Startscreen erscheint. Oder die Windprofile. Gruß

### 5/5 — Einfach nur nützlich

*2026-09-15*

Ich kann die App nur empfehlen. Übersichtlich, dass Wetter mit Höhenprofil bei einer eingetragenen Drohne mit Flugempfehlung gibt auch Anfängern mehr Sicherheit.

Und auf Anmerkungen und Kritik wird auch sofort reagiert, also einfach nur empfehlenswert.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.33.1 — 2026-09-18

§21h application: place and date of the signature can now be entered in the app — the date pre-filled with today, the place from your pilot profile. The application can now be completed entirely on the device. Leave both blank and the line stays free for filling in by hand.

Fixed: the pilot's declaration is now a numbered section and still makes sense after a page break. An attached map excerpt sits centred on its page again.

### 6.33.0 — 2026-09-17

Checklists: individual items can now be edited instead of only deleted and created again — press and hold an item. The new icon at the top right changes the order, and a long press on a list renames it.

New: "Save as record" captures date, time and the state of every item, with coordinates if you want. Your own checklists can now be edited in the browser too.

Fixed: after the location jumps shortly after opening, the map re-checks on its own.

### 6.31.0 — 2026-09-17

NOTAMs on the map: the notices affecting your location are now drawn as areas — you can see where a closure ends. Tap one to read it. Dashed circles are an assumed radius, not an official boundary.

Fixed: in Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, tapping the map reported "No restrictions" even when a NOTAM reported a closure right there.

Flight log: new field for the distance flown, with a total in the summary, in the CSV and in the PDF.

### 6.29.0 — 2026-09-16

360° panoramas now in the app

If a community spot has a 360° panorama, a 360° button appears at the top left above the photos. Tap it and look around in full screen by dragging. Until now this only worked in the browser.

Also fixed: in the browser the toolbar of the 360° viewer was invisible - zoom and fullscreen sat outside the visible area.

New in the browser: type a place into the search box on the community spots to centre the radius search on it.

### 6.26.0 — 2026-09-15

Login: wrong credentials now say “email address or password is incorrect” instead of a technical message.

Flight log: date no longer wraps mid-word on narrow screens.

New: “What Hoverpoint costs” in settings – running costs in the open.

Map: much less data used while panning.

Browser: share flight log entries as an image.
