Good App. The 1090ES display of the appropriate traffic works, not sure about the UAT 978 traffic, as the user must be at altitude of at least 1000ft AGL.
I'm not a fan of apps needing to download more files, not vetted by the app store, after a program installs.
Great app. Now it is not working anymore on S8.
Maps will not download and display in Android 10
Great low cost ads solution
excellent app. functions well
Doesn't work without questionable downloads.
hey i wanted to say sorry ab the last review. I see you work really hard for this app.
Copied Avare app. They are identical???????????
Was good before now destroyed --developer of this version should be sued ..
Great application!
Works ok with dvb t receiver
No map coverage of easten Europe
Is there a app that can be used over the network? I run rtl dongles on a rpi.
A great app.. best Android aviation app!
Not work on R820T2 dongle with Rtl-sdr driver (?!)
Tons of useful info! Looking forward to future updates.
Able view notams and metars
Used to be simple but now is full of trash data
LG GpadF rtl_sdr please add a stop button to release driver and close program.
Good, ads don't bothering me, but didn't find stop button once it starts?
I gets the data but I quickly observed a few issues: - Map always center on Florida. => Why not center on the "last used" position or even better, center on the average of the received ADS-B positions. - Text display not really usable (very large font) - Squawk does not show the actual squawk (4 octal digits), but rather the call-sign.
I have a roof mount ADS-B antenna Connecting the Dongle to my PC it shows 23 aircraft 14 of those are displayed on the map (as not every plane transmits Lat & Lon) Using the dongle on the phone (same Antenna) I see 2 planes! So I assume that the software has some decoding issues Using "the other Android" ADS-B app, all 14 aircraft display There is also no button to stop the app (need to kill it) All in all a great idea if it worked
This software works well and is well maintained with frequent updates and bug fixes as the author finds them.
Worked a few times on my kitkat 4. X. X gs3 and now crashes almost as soon as it begins analyzing packets. And I can no longer get a refund. Very unhappy. Suggest you avoid this if you have a kitkat device. The other FREE adsb receiver software works flawlessly. So there is no issue with the hardware.
worked the first time it was installed.but since that time, it never works as it seems to have lost its driver. So I cannot recommend this product at this time as there seems to be a driver problem, if this can be sorted soon. Good, but until then keep your money in your pocket!
Works well. I only get the standard map, others (IFR,VFR) don't work. Trails on the aircraft would be nice, as would colours for altitude.
Detects the RTL SDR dongle but since it's a E4000 and not a 820t it does not want to use it . Would be great to have E4000 support like with the standard RTL SDR driver
I'm giving this one 5 stars because of the obvious dedication of the dev. There are a few things that I would like to see added but as all projects they never end. Awesome job dev, I will be using the app and paying for Pro to contribute to your time. I have also posted a link to your app in our Discord server because , well, it's just bad a$$.
