UAV Forecast

[Update]: I decided to try out the app at the Hobbyist level, and I have found it to be quite useful so I’m raising my rating to 4 stars. I’m still not wild about the removal of the free functionality that was originally available but, as a professional UAV pilot, I have come to rely on the app for checking flight conditions before traveling to a work site so it’s only fair to update the review to reflect my positive experiences with it. [Original review]: I installed this app at the recommendation of a UAV class in which I am enrolled, only to find that it has been made utterly useless unless you pay for even the most basic functionality. This looks like it could be a very useful app and I am all for supporting developers of high quality apps but I have to agree with the other reviewers that it is very bad practice to remove functionality that was previously free. It appears that this app has been downgraded at least twice in its lifetime until now the free version has no functionality whatsoever and simply displays a useless forecast for a random location.

Edit: Support helped me fix my problem so it’s all gravy. The app is dope and super useful overall. Customer service did a great job resolving the issue. Original post: I want to like this app, looks really useful, but I pressed subscribe, the app said it failed, yet my iCloud and card still got charged and my account says I’m subscribed to the service. Developer please help? I’ve already emailed support. Will change rating when the issue is resolved.

I’ve only been flying for a month so everything is still pretty new to me. This app shows me exactly what I need to know for my flight planning purposes, and it does so with a really efficient and easy to read grid of information. Pros: > I can change thresholds for any of the weather or atmospheric metrics > I can send a snapshot of the weather/forecast to myself to add to my flight log later > The app is updated regularly. If you’re looking for sUAS apps (or any apps for that matter), check out the last time they were updated! > I bought the subscription and I think having several days’ worth of data is worth the small price - helps a lot for planning flights for later in the week. Cons: > Not a con, but a feature request. Please consider adding a way to store a few favorite locations. I currently save GPS coordinates in a notepad page and paste them into search when trying to plan a flight, but favorites would be a little easier. Overall excellent app for uav weather as long as they keep doing a great job keeping the app up to date and simple to use.
