UAV Forecast

Essential, even the free basic version, to drone noobs. It’ll advise you when it’s advisable and not advisable to fly. Obviously you have to account for your drones wind resistance (available from your drones manufact. info) and your skill using the drone in windy conditions, say. You can set the parameters to meet these conditions so as to advise you, based on your settings selection, whether to fly or not, as soon as you boot the app up. Just got the $0.99 per month sub so I can see the common Info for the next 24 hours. Great stuff Ty. 👊🏻😁

The free version used to show you wind gusts up to 400 feet, now they’ve reduced it to 100 feet. You won’t be getting any money out of me

It’s a great app to check before I fly but can be frustrating to plan with. Sometimes it’s said I’m good to fly and yet it’s raining and shows the rain symbol on the app.. Secondly, it only shows you one location at a time which makes it a pain to go through your favourites. How about a map which has an overlay which shows up from red to green as to where is good to fly. And which allows you to scan through the available days depending on what plan you have. It would actually be far more helpful to scout locations

Well thought out, just what I need as a novice flyer who has to plan carefully within my abilities. I can ‘expand’ my parameters when I’ve pixked up some experience.

I’ve always loved and used this app. Now though where I live and all over the country has lots of DJI No-Fly Zones. Every one is claimed to be the area of a seaplane base. I can’t trust this info anymore. I’ll stick to the NOTAMS.

So I clicked Show Max Wind Altitude and it said I need a subscription. So I bought a 1 year value. Go back to the setting and now it says thanks for subscribing but you need a Hobbyist subscription. So despite the fact it says you get 24 hour forecast with the value subscription. You don’t get the same features. I literally feel cheated and this was not made evident before purchase. So unless this gets fixed. I am going to unsubscribe and refund. Its not about cost but principle.

This app is a great help But not really sure of the wind setting it has to be at

The real-time precipitation forecast data is way off. It will be saying a 90% chance of precipitation happening right now with clear skies outside. They use ‘UAVForecast’ as a “hyper-local” forecast source, but there’s no option to change that to something you’ve heard of. Not impressed.

False data, look outside and it’s clearly pis*ing down but your app says OK TO FLY Pis*ing down last three days but yet still good to fly Just looking outside yourself will give you better data.

Used to be of use (free version) as it gave a 24-hour forecast. It wasn’t accurate enough for me to want to pay for it quite frankly, but as another tool in the box it was worth having. Obviously not enough users were willing to subscribe so they now give just a few hours forecast without paying. Its value to me as a hobby flyer? I’d pay maybe a couple of quid a year, but no more. No chance I will pay what they ask!
