Comments on Drone Buddy: Drone Weather for Android

★★★★★ Mike Rea · Apr 2, 2025
Excellent companion for drone users. Easy to use and accurate. Thank you!
★★★★★ Vlad · Oct 12, 2025
Works good however there is a bug. When settings set to metric the no-fly zone still shows miles. I wanted to pay the one time fee for the app, but I think the price of 115USD is too much and never going to happen.
★★★★★ Andy Shillam · Jul 16, 2023
Seems to have most of the information I need to fly. Wind speeds are very helpful.
★★★★☆ Geoff Watson · Jun 6, 2025
Handy information for drone flying, I always check it before I fly. Definitely a must for anyone owning a drone.
★★☆☆☆ Ozzy Wing74 · Nov 27, 2025
Setting for metric system. Close reopened... Bingo Imperial no-fly zone: Big colored dot on the screen. No options to hide them. Solution : Quick delete
★☆☆☆☆ Jean Ledezert · Feb 28, 2024
I put a 3-day trial and charged me the yearly subscription. Scam app
★★☆☆☆ Gary Cosway · Dec 28, 2023
Very disappointed, went to try the 3 free day trial, and it charged me straight away without a refund button. I had to contact Google to get a refund. Also sent an email and got no reply.
★☆☆☆☆ Jason Pooler · Aug 6, 2026
My antivirus flagged the app for malware. Please fix the app and patch whatever was letting a virus into my phone.

Description by Kirway LLC Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Don’t waste a trip. Check drone weather, wind, gusts, rain radar, no-fly zones, and airspace before you take off — then find flying spots other pilots actually use.
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.
DRONE BUDDY PRO
Unlock the planner for a pin you have not driven to yet:
• Go / no-go for any searched location
• Calm flying windows for 10 days (free shows 3)
• Nearby TFR alerts for the pin you care about
• Hourly wind so you can pick the window
• Ad-free experience
3-day free trial on the annual plan, then the yearly price shown in-app. Also available as a 3-month plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Cancel anytime in Google Play.
Subscriptions auto-renew unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Payment is charged to your Google Play account. Manage or cancel in Play Store > Payments & subscriptions.
Always check current local rules and airspace before you fly. You are responsible for a legal, safe flight. Drone Buddy is not affiliated with the FAA.
Maps and community sites can be incomplete and may change.
