ACARS Decoder
ACARS Decoder lets you view ACARS transmissions on your android device. Just connect it to a VHF radio (or even set it next to the radio's speaker), tune in an ACARS frequency, and watch the decodes.
Decodes can be automatically saved to an acars.txt file on your device's SD card or other memory by enabling the Log button.
Leave the radio's squelch open so you have static all the time, and tune to one of the ACARS frequencies:
131.725 MHz ACARS Primary channel for Europe 131.525 MHz ACARS Tertiary channel for Europe 136.900 MHz ACARS Channel logged near London 131.550 MHz ACARS Primary channel for North America 130.025 MHz ACARS Secondary channel for North America 129.125 MHz ACARS Tertiary channel for North America 131.475 MHz Company channel for Air Canada and some European airlines in North America 131.125 MHz ACARS channel local to ORD so far 131.550 MHz ACARS Primary channel for Asia/Pacific 131.450 MHz ACARS Primary channel for Japan 130.450 MHz Overflow ACARS channel in use in the Washington, Boston, Chicago, and DFW areas

Works sometimes, but you have to really get the volume set correctly.
Doesn't work on Samsung Tab S6.
Doesnt work on lg g8x phone it's not worth any money and they wont give me a refund
I'm decoding ACARS on 131.550 AM just fine using a Vertex Standard VXA-700 air-band transceiver. I opened the squelch Per the developer's instructions, placed the speaker near my Galaxy S4, and it's decoding quite nicely. Does not have the Setup features that are in the Apple version (Replace Errors ON/OFF; Suppress Errors ON/OFF; but it does work as is.
Picked up data from internal and external mics. It will show output even with missed characters, which is good. Placement of mic, volume, and reception are important.
this program is crap not for the $2.00 but it doesn;t decode nothing buyer beware
The app apparently stopped any development at the beginning stages. It needs to be able to use headphone mic for input and mapping interfacing. Definitely not with the money paid.
Just dreadful. Tried two radios with three Ariel combinations and it failed to decode anything. Tried with the radio next to my device and plugged directly in to it. Don't waste your time and money. Simply dreadful app.
Tried repeatedly to get it to work on Android with no success. The apple version from same company works fine and the scanner is set correctly. This version very disappointing. If there was a - minus score it would get it.
works beautifully on my samsung galaxy mega2 on android 4.4.4 using sdr_touch. thank you developer!
Unlike many other reviews, MINE WORKS. I have a ASUS TF201, and it took some "positioning" to get the scanners speaker close enough to the MIC The B U T is because this app has absolutely no DOC, or HELP screen or ANYTHING. Gee Whiz guys, why would you NOT have at least a "Help", or a settings function. ? Because of this I give it 3 stars, MAYbe if you include a basic settings.help I'll go for 5 stars
Great tnx for this easy and usefull app!
ACARS with tablet and handheld radio! what could be easier or more fun?
Does not decode anything tried with radio as well as test mp3 it does not decode anything at all
Don't purchase, it's just useless because doesn't work with Android version 6 above. I purchased and since waiting update that never came, no hopes. Just waste of money.
