Ive 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 youre 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.
Developer Response Thanks for subscribing, for the detailed review and the feature suggestions! Your support is much appreciated.

[Update]:I decided to try out the app at the Hobbyist level, and I have found it to be quite useful so Im raising my rating to 4 stars. Im 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 its 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.
Developer Response Thank you for your feedback and for trying UAV Forecast based on your UAV class recommendation. We understand your disappointment with the changes to our free service. To maintain and enhance our forecast quality, develop new features, and improve our overall service, we've had to make adjustments. Real-time hyperlocal forecasts now require a subscription, but we continue to offer the no-fly-zone map feature at no cost. Our changes support continued improvements in the forecast and expansion of features. We believe we offer the highest quality drone-specific forecast on the market, with wind/gust at altitude and Kp forecasts developed entirely in-house. Subscription plans are affordable, and 7-day free trials are available to new customers. Thank you for using the app and for your support.

Excellent addition to my collection of apps for drone flying. The Wind Profile tab shows me everything I need to know about the wind at various altitudes before I go out flying. Feature request: At the top of the Wind Profile screen it shows Last Update: a few seconds ago, which tells me when the app last pulled data from the server, but it doesnt give me any indication of how old the data on the server is. Much more useful would be a time stamp from the data feed itself (if there is one) indicating how current it is. Last update: a few seconds ago always leaves me wondering if Ive just pulled down 3-day-old data from the server...

This app used to be free but without warning its now a paid app which is fine because the information it gives you is great. My problem is I went out flying not seeing the little preview banner and thought conditions were good. Turned out it was giving generic stats as a demo screen and not actual conditions, and no longer live data. A popup would have been nice saying not actual live data, instead of saying good to fly. I launched my drone a few times not realizing the gusts were more than I expected, but I trusted the app.. not cool. (Update to developer feedback) no, I got no popup, only thing was those tiny preview banners which dont state NOT LIVE DATA. Had this resulted in damage or bodily harm, you would have lost that case.
Developer Response Thank you for your feedback, DellGuru. We apologize for any confusion caused by the transition to our subscription model. We understand your concern about the preview data and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. To ensure accurate, real-time forecasts, we recommend subscribing to one of our affordable plans. While we already use five methods to indicate the app is in preview mode, including two preview banners overlaying the forecast, a message in a popup promimently displayed at the top, and the word Preview on the time bar, we've noted your suggestion for a clearer popup indicating preview data, and we'll consider implementing this in a future update. If you have any questions about the forecast or subscription options, don't hesitate to email us at support@uavforecast.com. We value your safety and aim to provide the most reliable drone weather forecasts possible. Thank you for using UAV Forecast, and we hope you'll continue to find our service valuable.
