This app was a fantastic idea Unfortunately it is made almost useless by idiots marking their homes bus stops private property and regulated no fly zones If there was a way to delete flag or otherwise moderate the bad locationsarked it would be good             Hasan ibn-Sabah

Its hard to het started i need to log in a thon of thins and then get starded it woud have been gread if you just needet to use a name and get starded with this app Me self love the idea of this it makes poeple fly more thats what this hobby is about             A Google user

app keeps crashing on both my android phones as soon as i click on the map         DJ BSR

Keeps crashing after search Makes it unusable     Irvin Hayes Jr.

A great idea and surprisingly well populated I expected to see no pins in my area but there s loads Haven t used the app much but first impressions are very good It does rely on user input though so reliability of information could be an issue For example a pin local to me is actually a county park that specifically forbids the use of drones                 Luke Stevens

Good for the UK at present I myself am however struggling to add pins and reviews Be nice if some tourist attractions would use this to post their drone policies such as castles and country estates that open to the public but all in all its well populated at least in the UK with pins                 Fly Hi

Looks like a very handy app I am hooked after only 10 minutes A suggestion for an add on The ability to place a pin for a set time to note that you are currently flying in the area This would let other flyers know to keep an eye out or allow meet ups If you put a timer that expired as well                 Darren Parry

Hi hopefully your downloads just increased as I ve just been sharing this among my groups can I make 2 suggestions different pins for clubs no fly zones and something to say whether it s suitable for racing or aerial photography or both Thanks FawkedUpFPV                 Good but Justin Attwood

There is a lot of potential for this app being an extremely helpful tool but it is still quite far off from that The things that it needs to have are a better search engine and interface The apps shows a lot of pins but most of them do not have reviews attached It required the user to press on them to find out if they have been reviewed lack of legal flight zone information             Elwyn Chow

Would get 5 stars if the developers were to include no fly zones as presently users would post areas of interest and attract flyers into a particular area when in fact it s illegal to fly there             Good app to track great drone flying areas Timothy Morrison

Would be a good idea Dropped a pin but it went to the wrong location and now I can t remove it and unfortunately there are no other pins in my area to really find out if it s a good app I like how simple u kept it but maybe too simple Not going to deleted in hopes it improves         Dennis Bedford

There is no way I have found to remove a pin you have placed or any way to report a pin to administration if there is any that have been placed with bad information Think about the red pin for no fly as drone users can help drone users not fly where not wanted and not safe I will now post some pins but wish it was followed through with more support and administration for above points I am also moving my star to Just ok as it can be improved             Wynne Davies

Something odd with the way this locates places that people have added to the map A few will pop up immediately near me But moving the map to another area not to much further away yeilds 0 locations However once I added a location myself over a dozen were found in that area Devs can you fix this Otherwise this is a great concept of an app             Hard to find places Jman44

This is a great idea for finding drone friendly places we all know there are not enough of them about Unfortunately the reviews are not moderated in the slightest from what I have found and may get the user of the app and quadcopter in bother with dibble National Trust land is sadly a no go flight area yet there are a number of these locations highlighted on this app saying they are great to fly at Use it it s a good app but take the advice given by users with a pinch of salt and check for yourself             Good idea but not quite right Certacito

Would be better if people had to put up a picture instead of being optional Also when clicking on a place marker the picture should come up Nice UI Also I would like to link any youtube videos I have to the location I am reviewing                     Great app Robert Fitzgerald

Dangerously deficient No reference to CASA no fly zones People using this app may assume incorrectly that they are permitted to fly in a No FLy Zone Fines jail and all sorts of things may follow I suggest a very strongly worded disclaimer but also an overlay of Australia Casa no fly zones would make this less than useless and safer     Ross Tancred

Accidently placed and named a pin thinking it was to help with positioning and search parameters Realised too late Now I can t delete the pin and my sisters house is pinned as a place of interest Please tell me how to correct this             C Dunne

Good as in it works no problems it s just a Google Map overlay really The issues I have with it is half of the places submitted are bad locations at least here in the UK even allowing for low location accuracy In built up areas you need 150m clear distance from people or property at all times and to not overfly so that rules out most towns             Tony Coleby

Too many complete and utter idiots pinning Home as a good place to fly I m not interested in where your house is you re ruining a good app and idea Those pinning their own homes need a swift kick in the gonads on a regular basis and the app developer needs to use an algorithm to search and remove these pinned locations             A Google user

Good idea but more work is needed Search puts a pin where you search confusing and annoying no way to search on zoom in wants a precise location             A Google user

People are putting up some good places to fly but the problem is that some of them are in restricted areas I live near an airport and places that shouldn t be used are coming up and it s a hefty fine if caught         Could get you into trouble Matt B

Love the idea however do a search it tells you places are nearby but there is no way to find or view them Thought that was the idea Might be using it wrong but no help function         Daniel Clark

Seems like a good setup and works nice Only wish that people wouldn t add businesses and true non drone areas kinda clutters the map             David Alexander

Great concept but it fails in execution There are only 14 tags in the entire US All in NJ It s a shame It could be a good app if it actually worked         Gregory Ross

It is a good start Its not that intuitive yet but it works I would like the option to upload more photos I would also like it to be possible to change to satelite view                 Taproot

Do not use this you can not fly around airports or hospital and there are pins by all of them in the city Don t trust it at all its just people saying you can fly there call the FAA to see where you can fly and the law     boehk1

It is full of places where it is illegal to fly e g the houses of parliament So you can t trust the locations therefore useless app     Javier Cuadriello

Has made me visit a few new places to fly that I would have otherwise not thought of Also like the built in navigation with Google maps                     Works great Derek Mcpherson

Well I tried to sign up but it kept saying please confirm your consent BUT THERE WAS NOWHERE TO DO THIS So can t use Devs tell me what I am doing wrong         Geoff Hirst

Why do I need to have an account to use an app You need me more than I need you     A Google user

Great benefit for local knowledge How can I add photos after submitting a site review                     Must have for traveling w drone S Newland

It has no reference to restricted areas and can easily misguide people into thinking it s a safe area to fly when they could be putting themselves into harms way or breaking the law If anyone uses this app please check your not flying in restricted areas or that there are no byelaws prohibiting you from flying     This app is Dangerous Rowland Cook

Listing brisbane international airport as a good place to fly Irresponisble and useless app     Jack Clarke

Great idea in principle but ruined by kids leaving useless home address s u0026 stupid comments instead of legitimate launch sites Such a shame there s no editing or filtering of entries before they re input to the map this would be a potentially brilliant app otherwise             Les Walker

Does the job well though would be nice if you could also add the type of flying style that you think an area is suitable for maybe in the form of tick boxes And different colour pushpins to indicate the flying style there s different requirements for racing freestyle vs cinematography for example                 Very nice app Darren Gibbard

Why no sattelite mode in the maps Much easier to pinpoint your spot to the proper tree in satellite view Do you have an API I run a a Swedish variant of this which is simply nothing more nor less than a public Google map Would be fun to auto populate your app from there                 Zap Andersson

Every time I try to register it says my passwords do not match I have try everything from copying and paste to simple 123456 kind of passwords it always says the same passwords do not match and don t let me register         Can t register Rolando Perez

This app is filled with people just randomly adding pins on the map The community badly needs something like this but it s not very good right now unless you want to sift through random test pins         Filled with so many fake spots Armando Rosario

Great app very helpful and populated however sometimes it s says there is only 5 total pins in my country 3 of which our mine and others it says way more other then that bug which I know will be fixed to do some great developers it s a great extremely helpful app                     Haven Senjem
