Drone Buddy: Fly Drone Safely
Drone Pilots Best Friend
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Don’t waste a trip. Check wind, weather, and airspace before you take off — then find nearby flying sites shared by other pilots.
Trusted by over 1 million pilots. 4.7 stars from 8.4K App Store ratings.
WHAT YOU GET • Go / no-go — a clear fly check for your pin from weather, TFRs, and U.S. Class B/C/D/E • Wind and weather — live wind, gusts, rain radar, and visibility so you know if it’s actually flyable • Best flying windows — the calmest daylight slots, scored for wind, rain, cloud, visibility, and daylight • No-fly reference maps — global airports, U.S. Class B/C/D/E, US / UK / Canada national parks, TFRs, stadium events, and FAA UAS restricted areas. Adjust airport circle range for your certification. These are planning tools, not official clearance, and not a LAANC filing. • Where to fly — crowd-sourced sites with photos and notes from other pilots • Flying Hub — save favorite spots; businesses can post jobs, inspections, surveys, and training • Drone news — regulations, gear, and industry updates
DRONE BUDDY PRO Check any pin first: go / no-go on a searched site, hourly wind, calm flying windows for 10 days, and TFR alerts on the pin you care about. 3-day free trial on the annual plan, then the yearly price shown in-app. Cancel anytime in Apple ID settings. Also available as a 3-month plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel in Account Settings.
Please cross-check local laws and airspace before every flight. Drone Buddy is not affiliated with the FAA and does not replace B4UFLY or an FAA-listed LAANC app. Maps and community sites can be incomplete — you are responsible for a legal, safe flight.

Night flying is no longer treated as a no-go. If weather and airspace look good after sunset, Home stays Go, with a reminder to keep visual line of sight and use anti-collision lighting. Suggested best flying windows are still daytime only.
iPad landscape: Search, Back, and tab items stay on screen when you rotate.
