Вітер показує дуже добре. А от з опадами біда. Відсотків 20 тільки зходиться з реальними опадами ### 2/5 — Not what it seems. *2026-07-01, version 2.11.3* This is one of the most prohibitive apps I have ever used. If you go off face value it will restrict your ability to fly. I am not sure how the app gets its information on wind speeds but it does not reflect the actual speeds. I know it’s only a rough guide but it’s really not very accurate at all. ### 2/5 — Pretty useless now *2026-06-23, version 2.11.3* June 23rd 2026 and thunderstorms with heavy downpours for the last 3 hours - yet UAV forecast informs me 0% rain and minimal cloud cover? And not the first time the App has got it wrong for me. It used to be a good app. I will not be renewing my subscription when it expires ### 3/5 — 2 rate increases in 3 months? *2026-05-27, version 2.11.1* I was enjoying the app and swallowed the first rate increase but a second one followed only 3 months later which doubled the monthly fee in under a year. ### 3/5 — Increased subscription rate. *2026-05-27, version 2.11.1* The app works as intended. I have subscribed to this but then without warning the app stopped working and when I went to investigate I noticed the rates had changed. It’s not THAT worth it to me. ### 3/5 — Não é preciso *2026-05-23* Está chovendo a horas e o app mostra que está ensolarado 🤡 ### 1/5 — NO FREE TIER *2026-05-23, version 2.11.1* There is no single free function anymore. “Preview” is a sample unrelated to your location. You HAVE to buy a subscription to use anything inside the app. BEWARE! ### 4/5 — Liquid Glass *2026-05-21, version 2.11.1* It would be great to update the application to Liquid Glass ### 1/5 — Now paid! *2026-05-16, version 2.11.0* This is not a free app anymore. Used it loads. But now full subscription. Absolutely rubbish! ### 3/5 — Increased subscription rate. *2026-05-09* The app works as intended. I have subscribed to this but then without warning the app stopped working and when I went to investigate I noticed the rates had changed. ### 1/5 — Free preview *2026-04-21, version 2.9.41* It’s a free preview, everything else is locked behind a ridiculous subscription package, just like everything else these days. As a hobbyist it’s a No for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-04, version 2.13.3* Everything weather related behind a paywall came here from a recommended video to find this out after downloading best just use iPhone weather app ### 1/5 — Para tuzağı *2026-08-03, version 2.13.3* Deneme kullanımı yapacaksınız. Tarih ayarı yok değiştiremiyorsunuz. Para ödemezseniz hiçbir işe yaramıyor. ### 1/5 — Мошенники *2026-07-16, version 2.12.1* Мало того что оплату просят 5$ в неделю за чесно говоря левые прогнозы так еще и сумма с карты снимается постоянно больше чем написано . Брать данные с чужих вышек и продавать за такие деньги откровенно говоры вы по путали друзья ### 1/5 — Pagamento obbligatorio *2026-07-12, version 2.12.1* Purtroppo prima c’era una versione molto limitata ma gratuita, oggi ha un prezzo improponibile in abbonamento, nemmeno una tantum. ### 1/5 — Gratis ? *2026-07-08, version 2.11.3* Es gratis o una trampa como todas estas cosas ? ### 1/5 — Matthew LLOYD lies *2026-07-07, version 2.11.3* This is no longer a free App! It is only subscription based, yet the developer, Matthew LLOYD does not identify it as such in his text description of this App when you go to download it! What a sad World this is when you can no longer trust APPLE to “vet” the Apps in the App Store 🤬 ### 1/5 — Año incorrecto *2026-06-30, version 2.11.3* La información me la da del año 2024 ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-06-07, version 2.11.1* Много лет пользовался, в один миг перестало работать и на андройде и на айфоне, предлагает купить лицензию но при переходе для заказа выдает везде ошибку. Саппорт на проблему не реагирует, походу разраб забил болт. Жаль хороший был софт. ### 1/5 — UAV Forecast I’ve got a forecast. Stop getting greedy. *2026-06-06, version 2.11.1* Was doing okay but then three pricing increases you gotta be kidding for how long it sits on your phone and does nothing because the weather is so bad you can’t hardly use it. You can hardly fly a drone these days because of restrictions and everything else and then when you ask for information I give you some excuse isn’t much support whatsoever except they seem to well let’s go for a lot of developers. I think that making apps is going to make them Rich not realising they have no others in this world today we Harvey hardly have any money and all these apps you have to keep on having all bills up so something has to give so I think twice guys about what you’re taking off people stop driving your ego we all have to live and put food on the table ### 1/5 — Full Para *2026-05-30, version 2.11.1* Önceden çok iyiydi. Artık çok kötü. Ücretsiz olarak hiçbir şey yok. Tavsiye etmiyorum ve siliyorum. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate *2026-08-05, version 2.13.3* Accurate and informative ### 5/5 — Una excelente aplicación *2026-08-04, version 2.13.3* la uso para volar el dron y siempre ha sido muy fiable, es lo primero que miro antes de volar. ### 5/5 — Safe Flying *2026-08-03, version 2.13.3* I always check this app before I fly my drone. ### 5/5 — Indispensável *2026-08-01* O app é indispensável no auxílio ao planejamento de voos ### 5/5 — Decisive tool. *2026-07-26, version 2.13.2* Thank you UVA Forecast. As a photographer and drone pilot, I use this app every time I go to work on roof inspections or when I work on festivals. Your app is the deciding tool of an operation is a go/no go. Thanks! ### 5/5 — 值得訂閱 *2026-07-17, version 2.12.1* 資料詳細精確，介面簡單直覺，用的很開心。 ### 5/5 — Great Tool *2026-05-28, version 2.11.1* I use UAV Forecast almost every day. It’s invaluable for seeing current conditions and whether it’s safe to fly. I recommend this for anyone with a UAV. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-05-26, version 2.11.1* UAV forecast is a very intuitive app that I use to help plan my drone telecom inspections. It saves me time and money. I can check cloud ceilings before I go to a tower, instead of wasting time waiting for proper conditions. Highly recommended for drone pilots ### 5/5 — Bin voll und ganz zufrieden *2026-05-16* Bin voll und ganz zufrieden. Ich bin heute von der App zufällig mal gefragt worden, dass ich mich anmelden soll wegen der Wiederherstellung der Daten das dürfte das wahrscheinlich bei monatlichen bezahlen bei Apple wahrscheinlich das geringste Problem sein. Bei jährlicher Bezahlung wäre das Ganze vielleicht zum überlegen.👍 ### 5/5 — Don’t go out without it! *2026-04-19, version 2.9.41* This app is the best I have used for all my outdoor activities! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
