User reviews

sUAS Pilot? You need this app!

I’ve been using the UASidekick app for a while now, and it’s easily one of the best tools out there for drone pilots. The interface is incredibly user-friendly—everything is laid out intuitively, making it simple to navigate whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just getting started.

One of the standout features for me is how fast and seamless it is to get LAANC authorization when flying in controlled airspace. What used to be a bit of a hassle with other tools is now a smooth, efficient process that takes just seconds. I’m always confident knowing I can get the clearance I need without any delays.

Overall, the app is extremely well put together—solid design, reliable performance, and features that actually make flying easier and safer. UASidekick has definitely become an essential part of my flight planning toolkit. Highly recommended!

Not free like the FAA says it should be

According to the FAA all B4UFLY providers shall not charge recreational drone pilots and this app make you pay for it.

Impossible to draw a flight area

I don’t understand what’s going on with drawing flight areas on this app. I tap to define the points, then nothing. No errors and none of the buttons work. Frustrating!

Don’t

If you are a professional and using this program you are wrong!

Works for LAANC

Works well enough for submitting LAANC requests. I appreciate being able to do this for free with an AMA membership. Two features that would make this app better: integration with Siri Shortcuts (e.g. trigger a shortcut when starting and ending a flight) and automatically pulling up relevant NOTAMs when submitting a flight and making me assert that I’ve done so.
