I was enjoying the app and swallowed the first rate increase but a second one followed only 3 months later which doubled the monthly fee in under a year.
Too bad 😳😳

Was amazing. Now useless. Too bad. At least make the ‘free’ version 12 hours We went from 24 hrs to 3. Pathetic and useless
Developer Response
We apologize for any inconvenience the update may have caused. Our intention is to continuously improve our services and provide the best possible experience for our users. While we still offer free comprehensive current conditions, near-term forecast, and no-fly-zone map, we have made the decision to limit the free forecast to 3 hours as a business.Please understand that we are not obliged to offer a free service, and it is normal for businesses to charge for their services. Our drone-tailored forecasts are of the highest quality, and our unique winds aloft forecast, developed in-house, provides unmatched accuracy.We believe our subscription pricing is competitive and affordable, at just $1 a month or $7 a year. If you would like to try the full 24-hour forecast, we offer a free trial when you register an account and contact us. We appreciate your understanding and hope you continue to find value in our app. If you feel the free service is not sufficient, you are free to explore alternatives.Please note that the free 24 hour forecast is no available through old versions of the app. However, subscribing to the new Value subscription does require the latest version, and the old versions will stop working completely soon, so we do recommend updating as soon as possible.
No useful anymore

For the casual hobbyist, who needs to know if after work it’ll be nice to fly, this app is of no longer any use.Sadly, I have understand the need to make money, but you could have run banner ads or something of the like. People hate subscription base stuff , and app developers do it more and more. At some point you cut out the apps that make no sense to pay for. This is now one of them. Especially when other apps offer 90% of this info for free or with ads.
Each Star…

I took away a star for each service that was no longer offered or changed to cost money to access.
Developer Response
Hello Noctivagans, we're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. To continue providing our exclusive data, we had to introduce a cost-effective subscription for 24-hour forecast. The 3-hour forecast remains free. Consider registering for a free trial. Thanks for your understanding.
