Social proof
I use Drone Buddy everyday before I fly. Drone Buddy helps me make my decision not only if I can fly due to wind speed, but also where am I located to an airport. The precipitation reading and the hours of sunrise and sunset make this app a complete and easy to use tool. Thank you Drone Buddy
