User Reviews for Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk)
Reliably fast LAANC, but room for obvious improvements
Preflight section is very good, although I wonder why it doesn't feature everything B4YFLY does and be done with that bizarre overlap of the two apps. LAANC authorizations are easy to get, although changing the default area markers on the map should be made less awkward!! Why are my authorizations listed under Assets..?? They should be found under Activity. Also, Profile > Version always says there is an update available when there isn't - who is programming such a nonsense? Lastly, it would be great if authorized areas be made available to other apps like DJI Fly so that those can seamlessly display them on their map and provide flight clearance based on LAANC, not on DJI's additional annoying questionnaire.
Very Good App
The user interface of this app is so much better than Airm*p. The information and icons of Kittyhawk are organized in an intuitive and logical way. I can view all relevant information before making decisions to apply for permission to fly. The process of applying for permission to fly is also so much easier in Kittyhawk than the other app. Logging into Kittyhawk can be done with either facial recognition on my iPhone or fingerprint on my iPad. This process does not depend on availability of internet. So when I am in an area with no cellphone coverage, I can still fly using Kittyhawk. The only reason I don’t give five stars is that this app only allows rectilinear regions for flying in. The other app lets me draw out my flight boundaries with my fingers. Hopefully, Kittyhawk will add this ability in future updates.
Excellent Resource for UAV Operations!
This is a great resource for the operation and record keeping for operating your UAV! Great and intuitive interface, ability to call airspace controlling facilities in app, and accurate weather & flight restriction info!Update! Since my last review the team at Kittyhawk continue to amaze! The latest updates to the app make the need for multiple apps for UAS operation obsolete! The recent additions of Flight Deck to provide in app control of your UAS continues to provide a seamless, intuitive, and easy to navigate app! And now the addition of VFR navigation charts makes this the only app you need for your UAS operations! As both a private pilot and a part 107 sUAS pilot, all the information you need to make the best preflight decisions every time you fly are here in KittyHawk!Update the sequel...This app continues to exceed expectations! New features are giving a professional UAS pilot every tool they need to conduct save, efficient, and productive professional missions!Jon and his team provide outstanding support!!!!!
I Need Help
So, when creating my account, I accidentally got one letter off in my email. Because of this I do not receive the emails that I need to receive with my LAANC authorizations. I cannot seem to find a way to change my email address. I can change everything else on my profile except that. Someone please tell me how I can change my email address so that I can receive the proper notifications other than the short form on a text message. Other than that, this is an awesome app and a loft has done an amazing job at making my job easier! I have been flying drones commercially for over five years now and I am very impressed and relieved that aloft is there and able to help my day-to-day tasks of getting the approvals when I need them.
Authorization denied
Use the app for the first time on Tuesday. I noticed that I was right on the edge of class C airspace. I thought as a precaution I should file for approval. Using the app was easy and I was able to figure out how to map my flight area. After I sent the request I received in big Red Letters Authorization Denied! I thought well it must be because I still have my temp 107. So I told the customer we would have to wait for the demo. After I got home I noticed in very small letters. Not in controlled airspace. Seriously? You cant just say Authorization Not Required? Instead in be red letters it says Authorization Denied.. You should consider modify the program to give a different less confusing notification when we are outside of controlled airspace. Thanks , still giving you 4 stars. will change it to a 5 stars when you fix the confusing message
GET/USE This App
Do yourself a favor... If you need info about flying a drone safely; ie. Airport restrictions, Do Not Fly Zones etc. Then Download this app!!!!They have hit this one out of the park! It gives you everything you need to fly, log your flight, create/use checklists for consistency in flight prep and post flight and everything in between. You can submit your LANCE request from inside the app and have it linked to the flight (VERY COOL, Indeed). You can track battery usage and charge cycles. They made this a very intuitive and powerful tool so it we will cover what you need "soup to nuts"
Wow
As a new recreational drone pilot I have been a bit overwhelmed. There’s a lot more that goes into flying a drone safely and legally than I realized. I stumbled across Aloft and thank goodness I did! What a great tool. Not only does it make it super simple to request authorization to fly in controlled airspace, but it also provides real time data on weather, wind, and other air traffic including type, speed, altitude and heading, all in a super friendly layout. One thing I wish this app had is an in-app tutorial. I’m still trying to learn on my own how to use the different features. For example, why is it showing me drones that are 2000 miles away in my Active Traffic list? I’m on the East Coast and it shows me drones flirting in California in my active traffic. I’m also trying to figure out if there’s a way to sync the app with my DJI app so that my authorizations go to my drone app and my drone knows it’s authorized to take off. Like I said. I’m a new pilot and still trying to figure out how a lot of this works and a tutorial for each feature would be great. Apart from having to figure everything out on my own, I’ve found Aloft to be very user friendly and useful! It’s a great tool.
Excellent tool
Thank you for making such an amazing tool. The only thing that could make it better is if you could validate if anyone has an approved UAS flight plan within a designated area. We live in Class C airspace, 3 miles from international airport and I was able to prove to my neighbors you cannot get approval to recreational fly a UAS from our property Willy nilly. My husband is not only a military fixed wing, rotary and military UAS pilot and tried to explain to them the rules. Your app makes it easy for a recreational UAS/drone owner to register, submit a flight plan and receive approval.
Caution
Be mindful of what ya ask Santa for. I thought it was easy to ask for a drone. Never dawned on me FAA would have some sort of say. With all this studying stuff, I’m glad Kittyhawk is around! I guess a $1500 drone isn’t a toy so much.Having some career roots in aerospace maintenance and manufacturing, have an appreciation for the maintenance records part of Kittyhawk. There’s always something to keep track of in aerospace, being a drone owner threw me into the mix now too. But the view at 400ft AGL is so worth it. Now, what to do about them pesky raptors that are bigger than my UAS. Would a dear whistle work?
GREATEST APP
When downloading this app I thought it would be a simple program for showing regulated areas for flying a drone. But after opening the app I was AMAZED! This app has waypoints and any other app with waypoints costs $5 or more. Just for waypoints! This app is free and they aren’t trying to advertise something every 10 seconds. It also tells you the weather, if it is safe to fly, other aircrafts around you and much much more! I could go on and on about this app but I just want to tell you this if you have a drone DOWNLOAD THIS APP! It is the greatest of all time. Also, I am not being paid to say this. I just think this app is so helpful and great. And for it to be free is just amazing. Thank you to the great developers who created this awesome app. I highly recommend you downloading this app and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! This is why I rate this app 5 stars!
