So far, this app has seemed to be the best on the App Store for clearly finding where it’s legal to fly at. I’ve used this app in both Australia and the United States and have had great success finding places to fly.

There is no reason not to have the heigh limits in controlled airspace shown in each quadrant on the map. Sure, it might get a bit busy at a certain zoom level but once you're zoomed in significantly, the height limits should pop up so a user can compare multiple quadrant at once - especially because not all flights fit perfectly into the boxes and being aware of the lowest height limit for a mission at a glance is necessary. Tapping each quadrant is stupid. It defeats the purpose of a map. I've asked about this via feedback many times and there isn't even an acknowledgement that it is a good idea nor has there been an explanation for a good reason NOT to implement this. At the very least put a setting for the pilot to enable this feature if desired. Other new features are added each update that are unnecessary but not this fundamental piece of information. If this is changed I'll revise the review. ---- Edit: Still didn't implement height limits on the map without tapping for more details. It's one year later. What are you waiting for? Also why do you have transient restrictions like sports events permanently on the map as if they are active? That defeats the purpose of the map. It's less informative when you have big orange shapes on the map that are not even active that day or week at all. Misleading and confusing.

This app is good for any drone flyer to have but every time I try to plan a flight it says I need to sign in with Google, but every time I sign in it still tells me I have to sign in. I also could not find how I am able to see the max altitude on the map. I would appreciate help.
