I really like this iOS drone app, Weather4Fly. The layout is very nice with color-coded info boxes and it provides a brief flight assessment for your specific drone at a specific time and location. Further details are also listed such as drone specific concerns and recommendations that allows for a quick and easy way to determine when it’s safe to fly in specific time windows in specific areas for your specific drone.
For instance, today I’m supposed to do some inspections for a farm property in another city and the app clearly tells me that I should not fly my Mini 5 Pro at all today (no fly windows today), but choosing to fly with caution if I choose Mavic 4 Pro up to 1 PM and then it changes to no flying past 1 PM due to wind risks.
There’s also a 5 day forecast to help plan flight windows in specific areas as well providing weather metrics, flight recommendations, and flight assessments for each individual day of the forecast. You also get a no-fly-zone map and some flight tools, which I find to be valuable.
From what I’ve read, the developer is a drone pilot himself and he’s definitely put in a good amount of time, effort and expertise to make this app friendly and very usable for people who fly drones. There’s a lot of great info in the free version, and the premium features aren’t that expensive. I’ve read where new updates are coming out soon to make this even better and that also includes support for the Apple Watch, which is also something I’m interested in. Here’s the app…
