### 5/5 — Perfect and free

*2021-03-28*

If you are flying a RPAS that weighs over 250 grams in Canada then you know there are specific requirements such as recording flight logs and site assessments. This app ensures compliance easily and for free. Other comparable apps cost $50.00.
Kudos to this developer.👍

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-02-17*

Easy and intuitive to use. Great detailed maps, easy to spot areas where I can’t fly requiring permission. Site survey a great added touch. Simply...just works exactly as expected and fits my needs.

### 5/5 — Best app for Canadian drone flights

*2020-09-06, version 1.6.4*

This app streamlined the site survey process and authorization process allowing you to focus on your flights and client work. Keeps records of all your surveys for you and you can apply for auth right through the app. Can’t recommend more

*2020-08-30, version 1.6.4*

This app has made the site survey process quite easy. Had some minor hiccups when I first started using the app just after getting my Advanced Operations certification. Tech support got back to me quickly, and helped me resolve my concerns.

*2020-06-26, version 1.6.3*

This is a must have for drone ops. Simplifies so much of your site survey. I can’t believe this is a free app.

### 5/5 — Every Drone Pilot Needs this App!

*2020-05-24, version 1.6.0*

This app is an invaluable tool to have in your flight bag. As a professional & commercial drone operator site surveys have always been time consuming, until now. The quality of the app and information is outstanding. The developers always listen to user feedback, and try to incorporate suggestions into every release. Don’t fly without this app!

### 5/5 — Dave g

*2020-05-08, version 1.5.0*

Nicely done especially because the CFS is referenced as are the charts so any PIC can be sure to trust the info. They seem to be very dedicated to keeping the app updated and all I can add is thank you and keep up the great work!!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

### 5/5 — Echo everything the other reviewers have said.

*2020-04-14, version 1.4.1*

Very well done and helpful. Still have a lot to learn to about reading the detailed charts/maps, but that’s part of the fun with droning...so much to learn! Thanks for your work. 
How about an iPad version?
Thanks!

### 1/5 — New version broken

*2025-11-04*

Can’t add users / pilots, can’t upload license - unusable.

### 1/5 — Frustrating and Dysfunctional

*2025-07-09*

Cant remember the PW, so I use the Forgot password to create a new one. Message is the account is not activated. No other buttons, nowhere to go for help. Back to log on, it says the password is wrong. Again, no way to resolve the issue.  Came here to leave a review and saw an update available, so I updated. Now I can’t even get the keyboard up to enter the info.   BTW, the reason I wasnt using it was thatI am a MAAC member, so I am supposed to get the Pro version free, but there was nowhere to say I was a MAAC member, and they want me  to pay.  This all around has been a bad experience trying to use an app that wants you to pay for information that is available free if you know where to look.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we’re sorry to hear about the trouble you had.

It sounds like your account was never fully activated, which is why the login and reset didn’t work as expected. We recommend clicking “Contact Us” on the website or app to submit a support ticket - our team usually replies within one business day.

As for your MAAC membership: yes, all MAAC members get free access to RPAS Wilco PRO, but only if they sign up using the same email registered with MAAC. This is how we validate eligibility. We’ve supported thousands of MAAC members this way.

We’d also like to clarify that while some aeronautical data may be available publicly, RPAS Wilco is the only NAV CANADA-authorized distributor for digital drone data, including official CFS, VNC, and NOTAM integration. We’re proud to offer this in a user-friendly app that automatically generates compliant site surveys and flight advisories - all to save you time and ensure safety.

If you’re open to giving it another try, we’d be happy to assist you step-by-step. Just reach out at contact@rpaswilco.com.

Thanks again for your feedback - we’re always working to improve.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with an iPhone 6

*2024-02-19*

When trying to add a new RPAS The save button is off screen and not accessible on my iPhone 6 .

**Developer response:** I am sorry. iPhone 6 is no longer supported. Please use our website as a workaround.

### 1/5 — Not very intuitive and crashes repeatedly

*2023-02-28*

This Aop crashes repeatedly, I’m not even able to contact support via the App because it crashes as soon As I press any button in the menu of the app.

### 2/5 — password

*2025-04-29*

Account registration doesn't work with password manager.

**Developer response:** It works with the native password manager. Are you using a third party one?

### 4/5 — App keeps crashing for me

*2024-03-25*

Noticed in the last couple of weeks that the app keeps crashing. Today is March 25, 2024. Not sure if it is just me or if others are experiencing the same issue. I’ve already reset my phone and removed and reinstalled the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We will look into it.

### 4/5 — Great app for Pro RPA pilots

*2022-06-14*

App spits out lots of data. Every thing you need for DOT in Canada. Give you site surveys. And post flight reports. But does not track accumulated air time. On HTML site it has accumulated air time. But is not exportable. Would be great if it had accumulated air time in report. Also app is a little glitchy after submitting a site survey. Take a long time to get check list going. You have to go in and out of app to get it to show up. I like the multiple battery swaps on log. Well worth getting if you are a professional RPA pilot.

### 5/5 — Fantastic streamlined and easy to use

*2025-09-22*

I love how easy this app is to use. It provides everything we need for our preflight survey and stores at all to ensure our recordkeeping is up-to-date. The ability to edit checklists within is also a great feature to have. Very happy with the ease of use and integration into our operations.

### 5/5 — The Ultimate Companion for Every Drone Pilot

*2025-08-08*

From the very start of my drone journey, I knew I needed a reliable and efficient way to manage flight plans, maintenance logs, and operational data.  After exploring several platforms, I found RPAS Wilco - and it has exceeded every expectation.

RPAS Wilco brings everything together in one intuitive, easy-to-use platform.  Whether I’m flying for personal enjoyment, conducting commercial operations, or responding to emergencies as a First Responder, this app streamlines every aspect of my workflow.  In high-pressure situations where accuracy and speed are critical, RPAS Wilco delivers.

The app is thoughtfully designed and regularly updated to reflect the latest regulations and airspace changes.  It’s built-in flight surveys, pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight checklists help ensure every mission is safe, compliant, and well-documented.  Most importantly, it helps me stay aligned with Transport Canada’s requirements without the administrative headache.

For any drone pilot - beginner or professional- looking for a smart, powerful, and dependable flight management solution, RPAS Wilco is my top recommendation.  I wouldn’t take to the skies without it.

### 5/5 — All-in-One App

### 5/5 — The best drone app I could find!

*2025-04-09*

I’ve been using RPAS Wilco for a couple of months now, and if I had to describe it in one word—convenient. I started with the free plan and was immediately impressed by how much time it saved me on site surveys and checklists. After seeing how powerful the app really is, upgrading to Pro was a no-brainer.

What really sets RPAS Wilco apart is the access to CFS and VFR charts—no other app provides this data that I could find. Everything I need for my drone flights (airspace info, site surveys, flight logs, and compliance tools) is all in one place. It just makes flying so much easier.

I highly recommend RPAS Wilco to every drone pilot—whether you're just starting out or flying professionally, this app is a game-changer.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! 🙏
We’re glad to hear RPAS WILCO is saving you time and streamlining your workflow. Providing access to official CFS and VFR charts is something we’re especially proud of — and it’s great to know it’s making a real difference for you. We truly appreciate your support and recommendation. Fly safe! 🚀🛸

### 5/5 — First review of an app ever

*2023-03-26*

I contacted RPAS WILCO at 16:45 on a Sunday with a very minor issue. (Not with the performance of the app) 

I was shocked to receive a reply from them less than half an hour later, and 10 minutes after THAT, the issue was resolved. 

Class act.

### 5/5 — Relieved

*2021-06-20*

I am so glad to hear that RPAS Wilco will be retaining all the site survey capabilities, this was a key function for my drone operations and I was not looking forward to having to go back to manual methods of creating these.

Keep up the great work team and I’ll happily remain a pro subscriber!
