Drone Forecast: App 4 UAV, DJI

Not a lot to it for the money

Global warming constant battling weather conditions flying drones is virtually impossible and we need an affordable weather forecast say a £5 one off payment would be quite adequate. A weekly payment adds up to £50 a year not worth it.

This app has all the components to make it useful, but those key components don’t link up. Select a location to check weather and a forecast comes up. Check winds - logic dictates that wind will be predicted at the forecast location, but there is no confirmation of that. As the predicted winds are 180 degrees out from the weather forecast, clearly they are not for the same location. The app will not work without GPS. Few are comfortable at being tracked & GPS has no relevance to checking remote locations. FAA done tests have no relevance in Europe. Why try and sell drones to paying subscribers?

Wind direction 160 degrees out. Cloud cover says 75% when it is clear blue sky with the odd fluffy cloud. I can’t rely on anything it tells me.

to expensive

I have a yearly subscription to this app which expires in Oct 2024. Since the latest update I can no longer see current data or data over the next few days and there appears to be no way of restoring my previous purchase. It seems that I am now expected to pay for another year and write off the 9 months remaining of my current subscription. Also, there seems to be no way to contact the developer through their support link. Money back please or provide an option to restore my current subscription.

Good: Tell you all you need (plus some stuff that I don’t understand) Bad: Need to pay to get the other days of the week

Drone flyers will enjoy this app as it will serve you well.

All you need and more if you need it love the maps and confidence the forecasts bring

Downloaded this and agreed to the 3 day trial before spending £17. The key / legend is blank (being a new pilot I really need this to tell me what the different colours mean) also when selecting the DJI map, nothing appears (as in no coloured no fly zones etc) Emailed the developer with screenshots but got no response so ended the trial and cancelled subscription. A real shame
