Review summary

Users consistently praise OpenSky for being easy to use and for clear flight-area guidance plus fast approvals. However, recurring drawbacks include stability/loading problems, incomplete map/zone data, and an outdated drone-model list that can hinder coverage and planning.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive UI
Clear guidance on where you can fly / geofencing zones
Fast, easy flight approvals and LAANC authorizations (often free)
Lightweight, no bloat design; does exactly what it advertises

Cons

Stability and loading issues (app won’t open or never loads; bottom window fails to load)
Map/zone data gaps (maps occasionally fail to load; wilderness areas sometimes not shown)
Drone model list is outdated/limited (only 6–7 models available; needs update)

2026-08-02	Da*****	The app was doing me good until I tried to fly in an area this weekend. The area is usually pretty easy to access. I am miles away from any airport, and all I get now is the "NO FLY" signal no matter where I plot on the map nor when. What can I do?

2026-07-25	Ma*****	Makes it super easy to ensure you're good to fly, wherever you are. I check this app every time I fly to make sure a TFR didn't pop up somewhere. It's easy to switch between recreational and part 107, and you can upload your certificate numbers and request LAANC approval.

2026-04-20	Ri*****	I really like the app and it's always been reliable BUT I've recently run into an issue where it hasn't been updated for my new Avata 360 AND there's no way to enter a model yourself. I don't expect it to be updated the second something new is released but it would be helpful to have a way to enter the information for any not yet listed. The Avata 360 has been available in the drop down on the FAA registration site since I got mine on April 15th so I hope it can be added to this app soon.
