- 📦Drone Map & UAV Forecast updated to version 8.1.5Welcome to version 8.1.5 of Drone Map & UAV Forecast!
This version introduces a brand-new 3D Flight Planner. Plot your waypoints and explore your route in 3D to see how the sun and surrounding landscape line up before you fly.
Comments just got a lot more useful. Mention another pilot with @, reply to them directly, and even edit those pesky typos after you’ve posted.
Also fixed: likes now stick when you leave a spot, tapping a notification takes you straight to the relevant content, flight logs can no longer be dated in the future, and the app icon badge now clears properly.… more - 📦Drone Map & UAV Forecast updated to version 8.1.4Welcome to version 8.1.4 of Drone Map & UAV Forecast!
This version brings back a familiar way to view the app: coloured cards! Following feedback on the recent UI changes, it was clear that some of you missed the extra splash of colour. You can now head to Settings and bring back a more colourful look whenever you like.
Profiles now load faster, and I’ve added some much-needed loading indicators so it’s clearer when content is still on its way.
On top of that, I’ve squashed a few other minor bugs.… more - 🆕Drone Map & UAV Forecast first spotted by AppInsider#47 in Top Grossing · Weather · Italy

Review momentum

faster than 65% of Weather apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
