Drone Buddy Reviews

There is nothing indicating that a purchase must be made before downloading DroneBuddy . When an app is free to download but has locked features that you pay to unlock then DroneBuddy Store says “In-app purchase available” which this doesn’t say. It also does say anything about paying for services in the description. I opened DroneBuddy and it tells me wind speed daylight hours and a map that shows my location with some very limited flight information. It shows me where airports are and that’s it. It doesn’t allow me to search or give any information regarding the current locations flight status. There are other free apps that offer more information like the actual FAA app that provides regulation information flight plans and device registration. What does DroneBuddy do? Nothing that I can’t do without it

I purchased DroneBuddy for its reviews and amazing user interface. Well a few days ago DroneBuddy now just crashes. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and done everything imaginable. I paid for the premium app and now I’m requesting a refund due to it not working and have not received any reply’s or anything. I have sent in emails and Facebook messages and everything. Very upset about this. I will be filing a chargeback.

Really good app to have when working with drones, only problem I’m having is that I can’t set up a profile. Everytime I attempt to hit the save button, it just doesn’t register and it has already closed DroneBuddy on me once.

If this wasn’t a problem, then it would 100% get five stars, but it’s still very much an issue

I really want to give it 5 stars but the feature that it claimed to have seems to not really be there at all and that's the flight tower information. The help section says to simply tap on that airspace and the information would pop up if it has a flight tower but nothing happens. I tried locations for the entire map of the U.S. but nothing.

DroneBuddy looks good but I only just got it and only tried it at home but it looked accurate but it did indicate 0 precipitation when it actually was snowing lightly.
I paid for the one year subscription to try it out and get rid of the advertisements but only the lite version is on my iPad. ?????

The air map is really descriptive in saying if you can fly there or not and also, when there’s a big orange circle from an airport or something, all the colors in the orange circle don’t really change colors so you can’t tell what they are. So, if your the developer of this software, please consider working on another update.

I’ve had this for under a year now and it’s a great alternative to the “know before you fly” app! If your looking for an app to just find a spot to go out and fly, it’s alright. The fly and no fly zones could use a little more detail but the weather and sunrise-sunset data are great to have! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good, free drone app!

A great tool for drone pilots for a basic reference, paying to remove ads helps A LOT but if you don't want to pay it's usable. Phone numbers for most airports are listed if you need to gain permission however some of the descriptions don't display properly. OverAll it's really great but more information would be helpful.

I’ve been using DroneBuddy for a week and I must say that it tells me exactly what I want to know before I fly. It’s very well designed and easy to understand. Five stars on this one.

I’m a rec flyer and I gotta say that DroneBuddy is legit and has kept me out of trouble lol. I upgraded to the pro version and now I know where I can and cannot fly as well as detailed information. DroneBuddy is accurate and easy to navigate. I highly recommend this to anyone!

Have used dependably over a year. Gives essential weather and location information before launch. Before getting app lots of guess work, now I fly with accurate conditions.

I would like to sit down and talk about this Unique 5 Star Design app! For myself DroneBuddy gives me correct Data information every day! I have found myself using DroneBuddy on a daily basis because of the correctness of DroneBuddy ! I would like to Thank the Developer for all of His Hard Work devoted time and some love on the coding of this software. That’s what makes it Unique and I believe very special. So with that I Tip my Hat 🎩 to you Mr. Developer for putting this idea out here for all of us to use and benefit from . For me I would like to give you a very special “ Thanks “!!

I have been using DroneBuddy, Drone Buddy Pro for many years. I use it frequently. A few years ago I had an issue after an update. I wrote to support for help one day, during lunch, when I was in NM. The issue was resolved before I finished my meal.

It would be great to see a feature where users can report no fly zones not on the map and either verify it publicly or internally.

Just download it and it’s looking super helpful otherwise, I’ll definitely be using DroneBuddy more!

This is an app with actual utility. I like the wind and sunshine hours information. The maps with the restricted zones help make this a one stop shop app for planning my drone flights. I also like the idea of the local chat with others, it should be useful when I travel to new places and have questions.

Truly excellent app. I recommend it to all. I refer to it frequently for the day the week and time. It’s been pretty darn spot on. If I didn’t have it, it would be as though I’m missing a tool. And that’s inclusive with the other “popular” apps for similar. UAV etc keep up the good work. 👍🏻

I needed a simple app that would tell me the cloud coverage and wind speeds prior to drone flights. I tried 10+ weather apps and all of them had the wind feature hidden behind many steps whereas DroneBuddy has the wind speed on the main page as soon as you open it. Perfect. I have not tried the paid version yet but seeing how great the free version is I’m motivated to buy.

I live in a place where the wind could be perfectly still but have extreme gusts out of no where, I’ve learned to expect these but Drone Buddy makes it so much easier to monitor wind for its accuracy and it has probably saved me from tons of crashes that would have happened otherwise. The new UI makes it so much easier to use and looks stunning, I hope everyone can give the review I can because DroneBuddy is great and I hope you think that too👍🏼

All of the main features are free via many sources. Pro is enticing but to keep me hooked, you should offer the basic weather pulled from free sources with advertising support. Make me use the free portion desiring your pro options. Give me a reason to pay $30. Perhaps a one day free here and there to see what $30 purchases. No metar or ctac live radio to listen near restricted areas. Simple api and would lean me in to having a single source worthy of $50 annually.

I use DroneBuddy before I fly my drones as I learned the hard way by loosing a few drone to wind conditions that exceeded my drones capabilities. I know what speeds my drones can handle and DroneBuddy helps me to pick one that can handle the wind speeds. Have not lost a drone since using DroneBuddy.
