There's a reasonably good FAA sponsored app to help drone owners with this problem: https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/where_can_i_fly/...

The Aloft app is good, too. It allows you to get automated approvals from LAANC when you are flying near certain airports.
Automated approvals is a killer feature. Will take a look.
That's awesome, and clever name too. Is there anything similar for other places? Canada / Europe?
AirMap mobile app [1] has a very comprehensive database of no fly zones, airports/airfields, and summaries of national rules. It works well in US/Canada and lots of countries in Europe too.

I find it often misses local city or park-level rules so I'd always use it in conjunction with a local jurisdiction's app (if available), as well as checking council websites etc.
