Does not outline Provincial Parks

This app has potential to be a really good tool. HOWEVER, it doesn’t outline provincial parks at all, let alone being restricted/prohibited flight areas. In fact, it’ll actually tell you it is allowed without any sort of warning that it would require approval and compliance with provincial park regulations. This is very dangerous. The TC drone site selection tool also does nothing to indicate provincial parks. I’ve contacted nav can about this and they simply defer the responsibility back to the pilot to know. Obviously it is the responsibility of the pilot to know, however why create a “helpful tool” if it only depicts half the relevant information a pilot should know.

works well, but ...

The apps does what it is supposed to do, handle information related with the possibility or not to fly a drone.
Just 3 stars because every time the app has been updated, the login data has been lost,
something inconvenient if you are outside trying to use it.
Also you have to select every time the drone you are using, why not left one as default ?

Thanks.

A suggestion - Allow app to flip

It is now 2026. In this day and age, an app that does not automatically switch between portrait mode and landscape mode on an iPad is silly. It severely impacts the usability of the app on a tablet and is reminiscent of iPads in the early 2000’s. Please do this simple modification.

Sucks SO BAD

Utterly terrible.

The Map Is Useless

The whole point of an app like this is to see geographic limitations. All it has is a 100m circle around wherever I am, saying that flying is not allowed. Obviously in many places it is allowed, so what’s the deal?

Great app with exceptions

Love the app, however, when I submit a flight plan request, there is always a warning about my timezone. YXE is UTC-6 however the app seems to think otherwise.

Nav Drone app

Nav Drone is a fantastic app that helps drone pilots fly safely and efficiently. Its flight authorization, specially in a controlled airspace, automatic approval is just a flash whenever you have short on-coming flight requested by a customer or a quick flight at the end of the day to monitor daily work. The flight authorization is just there in your phone almost instantly that you don’t have to wait for hours. Thanks a lot for the team putting a lot of effort into this app.

Awesome

Works great and is free

Does not constitute ATC clearance

Beware CAR 900.06

Excellente app.

Les NOTAM devraient apparaître dans l’app.

Good app

Well designed

Weight error

Keeps showing me Not Allowed because of 250g regulation for a DJI Neo (160g)

Not user friendly

Very hard to navigate and can’t even get current weather

App correcte

L’app est correcte, mais délimiter les zones de vol n’est pas toujours facile sur un téléphone ou une tablette. J’ai probablement besoin de plus d’expérience, je n’ai pas beaucoup de vols à mon actif …

New to drones

As someone who’s new to drones and just getting into it this app is really well made and explains everything in detail. Quite impressed!

NAV Drone opinion

Easy to use app, nice to be able to request, and receive APPROVED permission within seconds, however, drawing the boundaries of the flight zone is definitely not easy on the phone app, so that function requires the use of a laptop before flight.

Feed back

I can’t tell if this app is just a cheap entertainment toy or if it’s legit, yes I like the resources but at a minimum it would be nice to get a ding when my requested time is done and a ding to notify me when a plane is approaching. That being said, I am new to this and still figuring it out.

Unusable

So many bugs it’s unusable. Can’t save new flight area. Keeps defaulting to Toronto despite allowing to use my location. After fiddling around with the the location for 10min it shifts it by 2NM and scaled it to about 1/50th the size. You guys heard of alpha testing apps before releasing them?

With updates it’s now reliable

Reliable and super convenient. Helps my work as a photojournalist. Great job
