Very disappointing

I installed this app at the recommendation of a UAV class in which I am enrolled, only to find that it has been made utterly useless unless you pay for even the most basic functionality. This looks like it could be a very useful app and I am all for supporting developers of high quality apps but I have to agree with the other reviewers that it is very bad practice to remove functionality that was previously free. It appears that this app has been downgraded at least twice in its lifetime until now the free version has no functionality whatsoever and simply displays a useless forecast for a random location.
Was fantastic, 2025 went subscription

This app was a great way of checking conditions before you fly. The user interface is wonderful, giving you simple green or red data for multiple categories like wind, rain, magnetic storms, etc that are a clear GO /NO GO decision for flying. However today, the app wouldn’t work without an update, and when I updated, all this flight info is now paywalled
And it’s now not just a paid app, but a subscription app! Deleting now. What a horrible move.
Trying Dronecast as a replacement. Doesn’t have the easy to read RED/GREEN summary of 12 different weather conditions that this app had, but seems to give similar data.
No longer ANY free tier!

This use to be our go-to app for work but now they don’t even offer the current conditions without a subscription. I’ll be going to something else now. This is a good way to lose your user base.
Useless unless you pay.

I get why you did it but it’s still a shame. Death by subscriptions these days.
A great and useful app…

I have used this app for over three years. It is extremely helpful in mapping and identifying no fly zones and wind conditions up to 400 feet as well as precipitation conditions by time. It also identifies satellite availability for gps. There is a charge for higher wind elevations and more complete information that I don’t need.
KP index isn’t even close

Not sure where your data comes from, but most days the KP index isn’t even close to being correct. I can compare this app to the NOAA and SpaceWeather apps that I know are correct, and the KP index shown on UAV Forecast won’t even be close.
Pay only. Delete

This was a good app when you could get at least some info without charge. Without notice, you now have to pay to see anything. Not a nice thing to do. Useless. Delete.
Now have Pay wall

I understand the want to make money, most apps will give ads. Not this one! Now you HAVE TO pay to get even the 24hr forecast, this used to be free. Oh well time to find a new app.
misleading

i was used to have basic functionality free, but now they give worse than nothing for free, it appears to be giving you information but that information is 100% fake with a TINY notification saying it is a preview. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
Why?

I’ve used this app for years since I got my first drone. It’s been a while since I used it. Now it’s a paid app? It was a very useful app. Unfortunately I will miss using this app. Not going to pay for it. Make it free again. Put in ads or something. Make people watch a 30 second ad before app loads. But dont get greedy and charge ridiculous prices for something that was free for many years.
