Drone Assist is the #1 drone safety app from Altitude Angel in the UK. It provides an interactive map of the sky and is used by general aviation, balloon pilots, other airspace users, and of course, drone pilots! Our map data is currently most effective in the UK, but will work in other GEOs and we are continually adding new country-specific map data. It allows you to see areas to avoid or in which extreme caution should be exercised, as well as ground hazards that may pose safety, security, or privacy risks when flying your drone.

The Drone Assist app has been built natively for optimised performance on Android.

As a drone user, this app is invaluable for all your flight preparation. From checking weather, any flight restrictions and planning ahead to help obtain permission it is all to hand in this app. Contains a huge amount of information and is easy to use and navigate around. Updated regularly with revisions and constantly improving. Cannot recommend this enough, once you submit your flight plan you get a pdf of the plan available for your records.

Much better app than airmap, it didn't bother me to supply personal data to access the software. If you're not going to fly it irresponsibly, then why would it bother you. Safety should be paramount to anyone planning to fly anything bigger than a Tello. Lots of info in this app. Worth a download.

This stupid software does not allow to use it without giving away lots of your personal data. How weird is that. Uninstalling it right now (I don't live in UK). And continue to use AirMap which is much more user-friendly. And btw, you don't create an account you have to force close the app or restart the phone because the back button does not work.
