Dronedesk enables me to plan my UAV flights with confidence, it lets me post my flights to Altitude Angle with a single click. It really is a game changing timesaver that gives me peace of mind and enables me to comply with my Operational Authorisation.

Dronedesk provides everything you need
Dronedesk provides everything the drone operator needs at a competitive price and is backed up by excellent support. If I was to criticise I would say that the mobile experience could be better, but in fairness it works well on the tablet format which I suspect most operators are using on location.

Thank you for your review and feedback Stoneworks. We decided not to go down the route of developing native apps for mobile, instead opting for the more flexible option of a progressive web app. This works great for most elements on a mobile but I acknowledge things get a bit fiddly on a small screen if you're trying to create a detailed flight plan etc. We're always working to improve the UI and a new release in the next few weeks should improve things.

A very professional and thought out drone planning app. That takes out the forwards and backwards of research for safe drone planning and put them all into one easy to use website.
Dorian is always happy to help and if forever improving the app based on our needs and suggestions as Drone Pilots.
