Review summary

Users praise Avision for Drones for fast LAANC approvals, accurate airspace information, and convenient flight plan syncing between devices, greatly enhancing commercial drone flight safety and efficiency.

Pros

Fast and reliable LAANC approvals, making flight authorization quick and easy.
Accurate and real-time airspace data helps ensure compliance with no-fly zones and restrictions.
Seamless syncing of flight plans between laptop and phone, improving flight planning convenience.
Makes commercial drone flights safer and more efficient by reducing guesswork in regulated airspace.

Cons

Mandatory location permission even when users want to explore maps without revealing location.
Subscription fee considered too high by some users since LAANC is a government-provided system.

Inability to enter or save Part 107 information in user profiles.
Security concerns over Bluetooth permission requests that seem unnecessary for app functionality.

2024-11-24	RS*****	This app cannot be used without enabling my location. There is no reason to need location when someone is exploring the map. Edit after seeing Avision's response: My reason still stands. A user should be able to type in a city or zip code to see that area's weather and derails, yet it wants my location. If someone is laying on the couch and looking at the map to travel somewhere the next day to go flying, then their couch location is not helpful.

2024-11-23	Ke*****	Not useful as B4UFLY replacement. Edit: It shows a map. The local airport shows 0 details that Google does not. I click on it, and it says "airport." There's a yellow pin out in the country that says "NOTAM" after clicking on it 3 times. (There's no real NOTAM there.) At an airport with LAANC, it shows a grid, but it's unresponsive. So, this app is a nice road map, but not useful beyond that.

2024-09-25	Pr*****	The airspace info is always up to date, and the LAANC integration helps me get my approvals fast. What really sold me was the ability to create flight plans on my laptop and sync them to my phone when I’m ready to fly. It’s efficient, reliable, and takes the stress out of drone flying.
