UAV (UAS) Battery Flight Timer is your personal flight assistant, keeping you up to date while you concentrate on flying your expensive hardware.
Ideal for the DJI Phantom quadcopter owners out there if you have limited ways of monitoring battery levels, yet might be flying FPV with an expensive GoPro and gimbal.

- Add and edit battery types to quickly select the battery you want to use.
- Audio and vibrate alerts at 15mins, 10mins, 5mins, 4mins, 3mins, 2mins, 1min, 30 seconds and completion. Great if youre wearing a headset (like fat sharks) or the Iphone is in your pocket.
- On screen battery indicator, stop, pause and reset your timer, great if you land and turn the device off for a short while.
- Vibrates x5 at 5 minute interval, x4 at 4 minute interval all the way to 1 minute.
- Works when the phone is locked (vibration and audio alerts) without the need for the app to be running in the foreground.
- Uses push notifications when the app is in the background.
- Take photos of your batteries so you can easily see which batteries you should use.
- Record a flight time until your battery expires and then create a battery entry using this information.
- Set a custom land time, allows you to create an alert that will fire with an audio and vibration alert X minutes before the battery expires.
- Keep track of battery uses, when the timer completes a new "Flight Uses" counter will increase so you know how many times you have used a battery.
- Rework of the UI to make entering battery values easier and more intuitive.

Latest reviews of UAV (UAS) Battery Flight Timer app for iPhone and iPad
This simple app is just what I needed. It lets me save my own battery and UAS configurations. I really like that it talks to you and tells you how much time you have left. This lets me focus on the flight. Customer support is great too.
Alarm sound should be customizable. Option for 30/15/10 second countdown with voice or custom sound would be nice.
I have Yuneec Q500 and was looking for a simple flight timer. I like that you can specify battery names, and serial numbers. The keeps track of how many times the battery has been used. I would like to see a page with battery #, date, and hrs flown. I initially had an issue with the app, emailed the developer, and his response solved the issue. Pilot Error! Highly recommended!
