Great Little App
This is a very simple and accurate app to determine weather conditions before you fly. It's saved me multiple unnecessary trips in areas that were too windy or rainy. Highly recommended for any UAV flight.

App update
Do you guys even check the apps before posting the updates?
After the last two updates, There is no data. I'm starting to lose faith in this app.
2017-04-17
Thanks for Fixing App
Bug that said "Unable to fetch current conditions" is gone. App works great.
2017-04-16
Will Not Load
Since the last update on April 14th, 2017, the application will not load. What happened? This was a great app until this latest update. Don't bother to purchase until this issue is resolved.
----UPDATE----
As of Sunday, April 16th, the application is fully working. Revised my rating to 4.5 stars.
2017-04-15
Colors too close
The colors for the NFZ are too close to the same color. Hard to read what zone is what color. Needs updating.
2017-04-15
Not working anymore
Dead weight after last update.
2017-04-15
Was awesome
Back to working 100%. Thrilled again. Love the new dark theme
2017-04-15
Nothing loads
Was recommended to get this app but it is completely useless as it does not load anything for weather data or otherwise
2017-04-14
Update problems
App won't load since last update.
2017-04-14
Ver. 1.6.3 Is Broken!
Just updated to ver. 1.6.3 (April 14) and NOTHING WORKS!! Can't fetch conditions or forecast!! I even deleted and reinstalled... same results. #FAIL
2017-04-14
Forecast won't load
Nothing in the app will load since the last update.
2017-04-10
Love this app
I use this all the time
2017-03-22
Great
Just wish it would show weather radar on the map
2017-02-17
Has nice features, but....
The features it offers are great in terms of information covered is basically everything you could need to know before flying. However the app never figures out my location even after typing it in and that usually renders it useless. I love the thought put into this app for pilots, it just needs some fine tuning in order to work. I haven't experienced the charge window problem which I am hoping is simply a glitch and not a purposeful act. I am however afraid to log in since this was supposed to be a free app with the OPTION of an extended forecast and VIP type purchase plan, but it is automatically charging people for using it. Thanks for your listening ear. Safe flying everyone!

App Doesn't Save Setting
Once you close the app, all custom settings are lost. I'll be looking for an alternative. This is one to pass on.
2017-02-07
Theft!
Puts a window up to touch to buy. Can't exit without hitting button which charges you 23.99. This app is theft!
2017-01-18
Latest Update Puts A Sneaky $24 Purchase Up!!!
I have been using UAV Forecast for a couple weeks and generally liked it.
After updating last night, I went to open it and check wind conditions for today. Without tapping ANYWHERE, the app put up a confirmation to purchase the $23.99 "Hobby Subscription" at the same time I was pressing the home button to go back to the home screen.
I'm an app developer myself and have no problem paying for apps, but this was SO scummy ... avoid this app AT ALL COSTS. I intend to wage war against this app with Apple and on every drone forum possible.

Very Nice App!
You can tell whoever made it put alot of time into it. Well done. Wish it had a option for non military time (12 hr).
2016-07-20
Must have App!
important tool every responsible pilot should use. I've used there web site for about 6 months but the app is not even comparable. Real time wind speeds at every altitudes. (Just my favorite feature so far). Many, many more cool features.
2016-04-09
Best drone app HANDS DOWN
Updates every hour with weather and no flying zones, even temporary no flying zones, and with it the explanation why you can't fly there. This is THE best app if you are an owner of a UAV/Drone/quadcopter. With this app you always know when and where to fly!! Must have!
2016-03-24
Best of all the UAV apps I've seen
By far, this is the best UAV app I have seen so far. I was looking for something to forecast the weather, wind and also display the various no fly zones for drone flying. I have not found another app that will give you hour by hour details on flying conditions like this.
2016-02-21
Great app with one MAJOR exception
Great app with tons of features however the no fly zones are incorrect and do not always show up. Use a separate app for that.
2016-01-02
Great app
So glad this is an App. Prior to that I went to their website to use. Best app to have for fly any type of RC aircraft!
2015-12-28
Best preflight app
I've been searching for drone apps and never saw this one until typing uav.
This has everything I was looking for and more! I was looking for a winds aloft app, this allows the altitude to be entered and it calculates Hourly wind estimates. I love the hourly GPS and solar storm prediction as well. I have mainly been using foreflight for winds aloft and TRFs. I combine this with the app "zone" to see where small helipads are as well.
I'll buy a subscription to keep up the good work!
Not all airports need a 5 mile radius.
2015-12-25
Too expensive
This is a good app but I'm afraid your high price is keeping it from being a success
2015-12-15
Great to check
I love how you can set your conditions and the app will tell you if it's good to fly or not. I check it all the time. Only thing I would change is making the No Fly Zones to be 5 miles around airports instead of 3.
2015-12-01
👍🏻
I used and relied heavily on the web based version. Told many of my RC friends about it. Always found it to be very reliable and accurate and planned what days I'd be flying based on it. Very excited about the app version. Even better!
2015-11-30
Amazing app!
Loved using the web service, now this app makes it even easier.
Latest update brought location search, so you aren't limited to local information!
2015-11-24
Happy to see this on iOS
So happy that the best UAV forecast and map app is on the iOS App Store. Shows exactly what you need to know for planning your UAV flights with the convenience of an app. No more needing to go to the website to check conditions.
2015-11-22
The best UAV forecast app is here
App very easy to use. Waited for something like this for a long time. Now I don't have to use the website.
2015-11-19
Great new look
I love the great new look and interaction with it two thumbs up
2015-11-18
Perfect!
Just what I needed. Now I don't have to use the computer to check.
