Fantastic and helpful app!

I own and run a small production company that specialize in a few different things. We do a lot of videos for real estate company’s to help them advertise their available properties, we also take Aerial photographs and videos of airports and construction sites for civil engineers and architects (I’m about to make my point haha). All of these things involve flying drones! This app has become one of the most important apps for me and my drone crew! Super easy to use, and give us all the available information we need to make sure we have a safe and relatively easy flight every time! If you fly commercially or just for the hell of it I highly recommend this app!

I would like to sit down and talk about this Unique 5 Star Design app! For myself this app gives me correct Data information every day! I have found myself using this app on a daily basis because of the correctness of the app! I would like to Thank the Developer for all of His Hard Work devoted time and some love on the coding of this software. That’s what makes it Unique and I believe very special. So with that I Tip my Hat 🎩 to you Mr. Developer for putting this idea out here for all of us to use and benefit from . For me I would like to give you a very special “ Thanks “!!

All of the main features are free via many sources. Pro is enticing but to keep me hooked, you should offer the basic weather pulled from free sources with advertising support. Make me use the free portion desiring your pro options. Give me a reason to pay $30. Perhaps a one day free here and there to see what $30 purchases. No metar or ctac live radio to listen near restricted areas. Simple api and would lean me in to having a single source worthy of $50 annually.

There is nothing indicating that a purchase must be made before downloading the app. When an app is free to download but has locked features that you pay to unlock then the App Store says “In-app purchase available” which this doesn’t say. It also does say anything about paying for services in the description. I opened the app and it tells me wind speed daylight hours and a map that shows my location with some very limited flight information. It shows me where airports are and that’s it. It doesn’t allow me to search or give any information regarding the current locations flight status. There are other free apps that offer more information like the actual FAA app that provides regulation information flight plans and device registration. What does this app do? Nothing that I can’t do without it
