Hi,

Sorry about that. We made sure to select candidates who were located as close as possible to our offices, so we could watch them test the app in person. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Beta!

I'm just across the bridge from you in Pleasanton just in case you need another pilot

Two questions: 1. Will this be a paid application once it passes beta? 2. Where is the detail on what it does?

You can bet your sweet bippy it will cost money. No business stays in business giving away their product for free!

Agree and they should charge if it is a worthy product. Atlas Shrugged popped into my mind reading this...

I just signed up. I use the Android OS and live on the East Coast in Vermont. I will be traveling to Hawaii in September and hope to have an app like this to help me get some awesome footage while I'm there.

Yes, it sounds like a great product. I can't wait for it to get to Beta!

Hi Ian,

1. Our team is focused on development at the moment, and the final pricing model for our app has yet to be determined. However, what I can tell everyone is that the app will be paid, and there will be absolutely no advertisements.

2. We will be releasing a full set of documentation with the Beta.

Thank you for your interest in our product.

Thanks! We may be conducting more alpha testing on-site after this week, and will be sure to let you know if we do.

Will us beta testers have to pay?

Sammynels · Jun 30, 2015

Of course Alex!!! The Beta test will cost a few specially selected testers around $1300 plus shipping.

Hi Everyone,

FreeSkies is conducting a second round of alpha testing this week! All those who have signed up and are located closeby, in Northern California, should have received an email invitation. This round will be reserved for those who have not had any experience with the app before. If you believe that you are available to come into our offices in Menlo Park but have not yet received any emails, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected], and we will be sure to get back to you.

Got to meet the team today and test the app. I can't comment on anything as I signed a NDA but I will say the app is pretty freaking cool! Worked great!
