Constant crash and logging out
This app has been buggy for a while but the July/August 26 update is horrible
Worse app in the world!
Don’t use this App they pay pilots next to nothing you waste more in gas than you will make. Straight robbing pilots it’s a scam. No that app around sucks to by the time it notifies you there’s a job it already taken by some idiot that doesn’t no hire worth.
Illegal
Ive done about 65 jobs for these people. At the time, I was in desperate need and got lucky they just so happened to be posting jobs in NYC area. Here is my issue, these people will send you anywhere! It does not matter to them whether the airspace is restricted or not, in fact they do not check. They actually leave it up to the pilot to find out himself and potentially get in trouble. Never received a permit for any site. why? because a permit cost $150 and these guys pay $50 to $150 per job if you’re lucky. Here is the second biggest problem.. insurance companies hire these people to secretly take photos! This one almost got me arrested! They sent me to a ladies house on private property to take photos, this lady came out yelling threatening to call the cops on me! And im like “mam im the pilot from Dronebase! (Which was the base at the time) she was very confused, made me delete all the photos and told me get off the property asap. One time i emailed them about nee drone laws in nyc.. that was the last job I ever got 😂😭😂😭😂. You cannot be aware or question when working for dronebase they will block you. Worst company I ever worked for. Very nice app, very unique business for my area. But terrible experience. I will never go back

More clowns than McDonalds
The experience with Zeitview has gone from barely passable to very laughable. This is a company in trouble and will do everything in their power to show you they no longer comprehend English.
Scam
First off, the payout for these jobs is ridiculous. Usually starting at $70, sometimes less. A hoard of pilots willing to travel long distances for $70, so it doesn’t really have a chance to increase in price. Also I signed up for multiple jobs that were a ways away but they were all kinda close to each other. One of the jobs I submitted they said it was not the right weather conditions when it clearly was. Told them they could use my perfectly good photos or they could put the listing back up for someone else to get it because I’m not driving all the back over there for $70. They never put the job back up so I assume they used my photos and they never paid me for it even after reaching out multiple times. Scam.

I tried login in. Then the app just log you out automatically. It shows “You’ve have been logged out” everytime you try to login. Please fix this.
Waste of time
Absolutely a waste of time and their pay might as well be nothing. I wouldn’t work for them unless you’re just looking to get some experience flying and don’t care about the money
Grossly overcharging clients while grossly underpaying pilots!
This app and this entire company is a joke. Right now the industry standard is about $150, meaning most pilots won't even put their drone in the air for less than $150. Zeitview is nothing more than a price gouging middleman, charging clients upwards of $400-$500 while only paying pilots $70 on average. Just look at the other reviews and ratings, they are literally charging clients 3-4 times what they should be and only paying pilots half of what they should be getting. If you are a pilot, do yourself a favor and advertise your services on social media and run far away from Zeitview and don't look back.
If you are a client, also do yourself and your wallet a favor and don't feed into price gouging middlemen, search on social media for local Part 107 certified drone pilots, there are nearly half a million of us in the United States as of April 2025 and we are all desperately searching for consistent fair paying work!

File system needs work
The interface is nice, but uploading assets to check gps needs work. The only wat is to individually select the photos…not practical for more than like 20 photos. Let us select a folder, that would fix it.
Glitches
Lots of glitches. May not allow you to accept missions.
Not worth anyone’s time!
The pay penny’s to the dollar and it’s not worth your time. You’d be better off flying jobs for a client for free to gain experience and connections. No one should be driving 10 miles round trip plus 2 hours on site for $70. Look elsewhere.
Your time is better spent working for Uber
Not one deal on here will turn a profit. If you want to fly this because you think it would be fun, knock yourself out. If you want to make an actual profit from this, you will not make more than minimum wage if you are lucky.
What to expect
The pay from their apps will put you out of business, one mission at a time. Watch as you lose money.
Scam. Not worth the effort.
Completed a job weeks ago and still haven’t been paid. Numerous other issues with communication from the company. Total headache to deal with.
Would rate it 0 stars
Such a pointless app. Unless you live in the same city as the job it’s not worth it. They severely undercut the drone operators while they do the easy work and make 10x as much as you do. Start paying pilots more!!
Asleep at the Wheel
The owners Zeitview appear to be completely asleep at the wheel. I booked a flight through the app. The instructions were somewhat vague and there were several instances of conflicting information. I made several attempts to contact Zeitview for clarification, but no one could be bothered to respond. Additionally, this company appears to charge the clients astronomical rates and pays almost nothing out to the pilots who are actually doing the work. The example photos show rates to the pilots at $300+. When, in reality, you’ll be lucky to be offered anything more than $100 for several hours worth of work.

Pretty bad
Accrpted a job with extra complications (no LAANC possible w/o special authorization), only to get cancelled the night before. Then the same job was offered a week later. Accepted it again, wasted three hours with travel to find aggressive birds and poor GPS precision (half block off) due to highrises made the job not feasible. Reported it back, all I got were automated pushy "it's time to upload the pictures" e-mails and mindless operator responses. They don't care about you, they only care about finding lots of drone enthusiasts they can abuse to make money.

Pilots Getting Robbed
Once this was good, but now after 4 years, the amount of money they pay for missions, and how often they require the pilot to do it all over and then not pay the amount offered has caused me to stop flying for this outfit. Holdout pilots, don’t accept the missions until they pay what it’s worth, usually 3x’s what they initially offer. Seriously, don’t be cheap, they’re making a fortune on your efforts and continue to make it more difficult to get paid.

App won’t connect to drone
After doing all the suggested troubleshooting from Zeitview still can’t connect. Still can’t get support from anybody at the company. Vague general answers from the support from a different Philippine person every time too.
