Forecast for UAV by Go Dreams is a specialized weather app designed specifically for drone pilots, helping you figure out if conditions are safe for flying. It first launched in 2018 and is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. On Google Play, it's been downloaded over 100,000 times, which is a solid number for a niche app like this. It's completely free to download and install, and you don't need to sign up or register to start using it, which is a huge plus. There are optional in-app purchases if you want to unlock some extra data layers, and it does have some ads, but they aren't too intrusive.

Using this drone app is pretty straightforward. When you open it, it shows your current location's wind speed, gusts, and precipitation chances on a clean map. The best way to use it is to set your drone's wind tolerance in the settings, so it can color-code areas as green (good to fly) or red (too risky). A handy tip I picked up is to zoom into your specific flying spot rather than relying on the city-wide forecast, because wind conditions can shift a lot in just a few blocks. It also has a Kp index for solar activity, which actually matters a lot if you're flying in GPS-heavy areas, though it's something most people miss.

Compared to general weather apps like AccuWeather or Windy, this one is built only for drone usage, so it cuts out all the noise. I switched to Forecast for UAV because Windy didn't give me the specific flight ratings like "hazardous" or "good to fly" for my specific drone model. Another similar app is UAV Forecast, but I found this one's interface cleaner on my phone. It just feels like it was built by someone who actually flies drones, not a generic weather team.

Features

  • 🧭 Gives you a clear flight score for any location, rating conditions as "good," "caution," or "hazardous" based on your drone's wind limits, which is something Windy's general wind map never does for you.
  • 🌡️ Offers a detailed hourly breakdown of wind at different altitudes, so you can plan your flight around low-wind windows instead of just guessing based on ground-level weather, which is a feature even UAV Forecast lacks for free users.
  • 📡 Includes a live satellite and airport map overlay to spot no-fly zones near heliports or airports, which has saved me from accidentally launching in a restricted area without needing a separate app like AirMap.

Pros

  • 🚀 The real-time Kp index for solar interference is a standout; no other app like AccuWeather or WeatherBug factors in geomagnetic storms that mess with your drone's compass, so I avoid flyaways more easily.
  • 🐍 The wind gust predictions are much more accurate for low-altitude flight than what I get from Windy, because this app pulls data from over 200 local stations rather than relying on a single satellite model.
  • 🎨 The minimalistic design loads way faster on my older phone than the cluttered interface of UAV Forecast, plus there's no mandatory login to slow you down, so I'm in the air sooner.

Cons

  • 📉 The map's data refresh rate can sometimes lag by 15 minutes during stormy weather, which is a bit behind my usual go-to, Windy, that updates every 5 minutes almost flawlessly.
  • 💸 Some of the best features, like 10-day forecasts and high-resolution radar, are locked behind the in-app purchases, while similar apps like UAV Forecast give those away for free with account creation.
  • 📱 The app hasn't been updated in a few months as of my last check, so the Google Play listing occasionally has issues with newer Android versions not showing the map correctly, which is annoying compared to the steady updates of AccuWeather.
