Bug fixes and performance improvements.

User reviews

Sketchy And Suspicious

With a name like “OpenSky” you’d expect open source software but this is run by a private company.

The app requires you to authenticate and create your account by linking your Google account. Linking your Google account is the *only* way to use the app.

There’s no reason to make this the ONLY way for users to create accounts unless their goal is to siphon as much user data as possible. The whole thing is scummy.

Part 107 Companion

I use open sky on nearly every site visit where I’m flying my drone. I live in an area where there are many airspace regulations. Create a pilot profile at your drones and get airspace authorization in seconds for most.

Trying my hand

I am experimenting with submitting flight plans without actually flying my drone. How does submitting flight plans actually work?

Average App. Needs updating

The app doesn’t reflect the different CASA flying regulations for drone under 250g.
