I'd like to trust it but I just cant. The app was showing favorable conditions for flying my uav and low winds but I could feel the wind was strong at ground level. Check it against the weather. gov site and google weather and the app was showing significantly lower wind speeds than actual. (app showing speeds of 11 @ 32ft.-actual 17 with gusts of 25). Tried imputing random locations to see if the data would change and it didn't change despite a 30 mile difference in locations.

Useless where I live in the Netherlands. The app fails to show accurate NFZs and major airport CTRs as well as restricted areas. Any drone pilot relying on the info this app provides is risking a huge fine and confiscation of thier craft.

The only thing wrong with this is the inaccurate weather forecast. The rest of it is great. Please for Australia get your weather from BOM, then it will get 5stars again.

Not "Fetching conditions" after last update. I waited for a few minutes and it never displays conditions. Update: Yes tapping the blue icon solved the issue. Thank you

Stuck on "finding your location" with an error unable to find your location.Location services are on and all other apps requiring location such as Google maps work.Un installed and re installed several times . Using Android 5.1 on a lenovo A8 50 tablet Useless to me as it is

Not allergic. Live in the exact center of the country, in my opinion, Colorado! If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes, it will change

Great app, it's accurate with weather rain wind and sats, used to carry around a handheld anometer for measuring wind speeds b4 flying and this has been spot in with it..,

Matt Laprade June 15, 2017

Used to work great but stopped working. Just won't load anything

James InSimiValley April 30, 2017

Used to work doesn't now after update

Robert Horsfall May 1, 2017

Great app, perfect for the job, thank you

Todd The Plumber Man May 6, 2017

Terrible at forecasting

Gergely Kovács June 24, 2017

Brilliant.

jason brew June 26, 2017

Wont load up at all

Zdeněk Horák April 16, 2017

Great app - best of its kind thats for sure. Wind in certain altitude is only a wild guess, right? I don't think that forecast.io provides such data.

Steve SKP April 10, 2017

Great free app, works well. Would love the full version but I feel £20 per year, every year, is too much for the use I'd give it. Sorry.

Bill Masson April 14, 2017

Works well and performs as expected (which is increasingly rare). I use it weekly if not daily and have found it to be accurate & very intuitive. Nice way to get a lot of info concisely. Bravo.

Chuck Stone April 11, 2017

Great info, and the new dark theme is fantastic! Thank you!

Good To Forecast April 9, 2017

Dark theme coming in v1.6.1, should be available in the next day or two :)

Ryan Powell April 14, 2017

It won't load on Android or IOS the past few days.

Good To Forecast April 14, 2017

The server was overloaded for a few hours, but is back now, and has been upgraded. Sorry for the outage.

Dave Macdonald April 14, 2017

App will not load info. Just keep clocking

Commercial UAV pilots do not rely on this, very inaccurate. It was blowing 10mph and it read 1mph winds, started raining and it continued even after being refreshed to say 0% prob of precipitation. Come on I'd you want us to purchase your upgrade at least spark my interest in the initial. Unless they change it is recommended against it.

Ken Kotoski March 19, 2017

The weather is completely inaccurate. Claims 0% chance of precipitation. While it is raining! Wind direction arrow is worthless, it doesn't explain what the direction means. Worthless app.

Pär Gustavsson March 6, 2017

Wind speed in m/s should be with one decimal point. It's now possible to have both "good wind" and "bad wind" just by changing unit.

Sean Kovach March 16, 2017

Tells me not good to fly every single time. Don't know why but other than that very informative app

Brian Gangler March 26, 2017

The maps don't work that good. Slow and has lots of bugs.

John McEachen March 28, 2017

No fly zone size information is incorrect. It looks to me like it might be a mix up between miles and km. You are better off using the FAA B4UFLY app. Nice UI though.

Nick Williams March 17, 2017

Good airport database, but doesn't include airspace restrictions. Weather, GPS, and Kp forecasts are also great for geophysical surveys. Biggest downside is it prevents you from zooming out.

Thomas Howard April 15, 2017

Does not load at all on Android 7 use to work great now since phone updated the app is broke

Martin Whittle March 3, 2017

Use every time I fly

Jared Nelson March 28, 2017

Cloud ceiling is needed. Not coverage percentage.

Gideon Tong March 12, 2017

Great app with great data, just needs a design overhaul

Alex Baxter March 24, 2017

It tells you all you need to know before flying.

John Washington March 16, 2017

Great app to forcast wind condition's

Ivaylo Petrov April 5, 2017

Very good app

James Rodriguez March 17, 2017

Cool to have for flying

Buty Pradhanova April 13, 2017

Good application

Greg M February 26, 2017

In theory this app is a decent idea but is seriously lacking in follow through. I've had this app yell me there is zero percent chance of percip when it's pouring rain and thundering. It will also report wind at low speed when its blowing really hard. So its pretty useless

Blair 191 February 12, 2017

I like the idea of this app in that it tells vital information for drone enthusiast. The problem is it only finds location at my home. Whether on wifi or not it does not work for me anywhere but at my home? If this continues I will probably uninstall app because it does take up quite a bit of storage space. These are the reason for just 3 stars. Fix and I will review again.

Steven R February 28, 2017

It doesn't show the military bases no fly zones and it should, you definitely dont want to fly over a base accidentally that wouldn't end well. Pretty crappy app

February 24, 2017

Use it before I fly

Phillip Cash February 8, 2017

Good execution. On galaxy s6, can't zoom out past level 3 on map. China lake naval air base is not indicated as no fly. It really should be.

What's New

Lots of new features and bug fixes, including a new dark theme, and a "range guide" feature to help see how far you can fly. 1.6.4 includes a couple of small but important additional bug fixes.
