### 4/5 — Update: a lot better, but no fly zones broken? Also still needs more locations

*2026-06-07*

After the latest update my biggest complaint from the original review was fixed! 
For some reason the no fly zone map doesn't seem to be working though, nothing's highlighted in any of the colors shown by the key, even in areas that are known no-fly zones, such as immediate around an airport.

Also the spot-finding navigation is still a little unintuitive at times, I find that if you zoom in on an area with, for example, "17" locations, then you'll initially see something like 2 individual locations and a grouping of "4", and you'll need to scroll around a little bit to find where the other locations in that 17 were. But it's usable with a little practice now, a huge improvement from before the upgrade! I was pleasantly surprised to find a few of my favorite flying spots already listed, looking forward to finding more!

Original review:
Great concept, but in my area there's exactly zero spots on the map, and if I zoom out to try to find more, it simply says "zoom in to view spots", but again, there are none. So you're left to blindly scroll around the map zooming in and out in the hope of finding anything at all. Only by going to a location mentioned by another review did I confirm the map had any spots at all!

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for the updated review! I really appreciate it. Regarding the no fly zones - They’re sadly not supported in the US for now, as I’m still figuring out the best way to fetch the data. If you look at Europe, most of the countries there have no fly zones visible. The Spot Finding experience is something I continuously aim to improve, and the next update should make it already simpler (I hope)

### 1/5 — why must give fun name ？

*2026-03-21*

why must give fun name ？ can't  go next when I already have  a name for  input form

**Developer response:** Hi! A lot of pilots have custom FPV names, hence we allow them to input the username. It's also required for our backend architecture

### 3/5 — Needs way more locations, and support for zooming out

*2026-01-20*

Great concept, but in my area there's exactly zero spots on the map, and if I zoom out to try to find more, it simply says "zoom in to view spots", but again, there are none. So you're left to blindly scroll around the map zooming in and out in the hope of finding anything at all. Only by going to a location mentioned by another review did I confirm the map had any spots at all!

### 4/5 — Good Platform, But Needs More Activity

*2023-04-25*

I must say, this app is quite impressive, but it would be even better if it had more locations to offer. Perhaps the developers could consider simplifying the process of posting locations to encourage more user-generated content. Speaking of which, I have a plethora of locations I'd love to share, but unfortunately, I don't have any accompanying pictures to post along with them.

### 3/5 — Cool idea but poor execution

*2022-03-30*

This is a great idea but the app hardly has any “spots” listed. In my area (huge city) there are 4 or 5 spots, all of which are public city parks or well known landmarks. I posted a few of the lesser known spots I go to and they’re still under review after more than a month.

### 5/5 — Need more contributes!!!

*2020-10-21*

Pretty accurate for SF Bay Area.

**Developer response:** thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-03-16*

I haven’t experienced any issues with this app. I hope it gets more users because it seems like everything is thought through but all it needs is more people.

**Developer response:** thanks! we really appreciate your feedback! ❤️
