sUAS Pilot? You need this app!
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!

Thank you for the review. We request certain information when you register which is required to allow minimal functionality of the software and to be able to file for LAANC authorizations. During registration we require Name, Email Address, Password Creation and Phone Number. We do allow the user to input their address, Airman Certificate Number and their Flight Services Account Email which the user does not have to fill out to be able to register. We continue to provide a trial period but the user will still need to provide the minimal information to register. To file a LAANC authorization with any software the user would need to provide this basic information whether it is in a trial or under a subscription. We will continue to look for ways to simplify the process and provide a better user experience. We provide information on our website www.uasidekick.com under the Privacy tab, regarding what we do with your information. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions and concerns that you may have at info@uasidekick.com.
Ineligible EVERYWHERE
Response from developer
Thank you for your review and for downloading the app. UASidekick provides mapping which shows various controlled and restricted airspace and allows the user to file for LAANC authorization when required at participating airports. Our app provides the user the the "Ineligible" notice when they are either requesting flights at airports which are not LAANC ready, when the user request flights in class "G" airspace or when they are requesting flights that do not meet the FAA guidelines within the controlled airspace. Our app provides additional information along with the "Ineligible" notice so the user can make changes to the request if needed. We are working to provide even more information when a request is ineligible in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

Not free!
Response from developer
Thank you for downloading the app. We do charge a fee for the app so that we don't have to look outside of our user base for revenue. We will use that revenue to continually update the app and provide features that we hope make your job easier. We have also made a strong effort to inform the user up front of the subscription model on the website and on the app description in the store. We will continue to look for ways to make sure that is even more clear. Thank you for the feedback which helps us provide a better product for the user and set the correct expectations from the first look.
Great!
