Description by Kirway LLC Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Drone Buddy is a pre-flight companion for DJI and other drone pilots: go / no-go, UAV weather, FAA-style no-fly maps, TFRs, airports, and community sites. Planning tools, not official clearance. Not affiliated with DJI or the FAA.
WHAT YOU GET
• Go / no-go — a clear flying call from wind, weather, and airspace at your pin
• Wind and weather — live wind, gusts, rain radar, visibility, cloud cover, forecast, and daylight
• Best flying windows — the calmest slots over the next few days, scored for drone flying
• No-fly reference maps — airports, US Class B / C / D / E, national parks, TFRs, UAS / UAV restrictions, and stadium events
• Where to fly — spots other pilots use, with photos, notes, and ratings
• Weather on the map — wind, radar, and rain so you can see what is moving in
FOR DJI PILOTS
Built for DJI Mini / Air / Mavic pilots who want weather and no-fly context before they open DJI Fly. Also useful if you fly Tello or other hobby drones. This is not a flight controller and not a drone scanner / detector.
