OGN Viewer
How to use:Start the OGN viewer and set up the aprs filter. If you leave the filter empty you will see the whole OGN traffic and this could make the app slow. If you make a long click on the map, the filter dialog will appear with a filter for the range 100km around the point you clicked.
Aircraft detailsFor some gliders detailed information are shown: registration, competition sign and model. If for a glider only a cryptic id is shown (e.g. "DD4711" or "3D0815"), you can fix it:
- just tap on the id and fill in the informations in the upcoming dialog (these informations are stored on your device only)
- if you are the owner of the glider, just go to the "OGN devices db" (http://ddb.glidernet.org) and fill in the informations (these information are visible to all users of this app)
- if you aren't the owner but you know the owner, just ask the owner to fill in the informations to the "OGN devices db"

It EATS BATTERY ... REALLY EATS IT. e.g. New Samsung Galaxy S9 with a full battery, totally empty in 8 hours even when it's in background mode.
I wish this app had a moving map function with gps so I could use it in flight too
Great App, particularly how it integrates into XCSOAR. Apart from Traffic info, allows you to get a view on climb rates of others outside your own FLARM cover and get a view on thermal conditions ahead of you. Developer team is also very responsive to questions and suggestions by email.
Excellent work! My flarm is not working and this helps slot! Thanks
The default empty APRS filter freezes up the UI and there is no hint how to enter a reasonable one. Unusable.
Works on my Android 6 MotoE2 but only displays the map with no red ring for filter nor gliders on Android 5.1.1 Lenovo Yoga Tab3. Update: After reboot and checking my filter setting it is now working on the tablet.
I have updated the app and it works very well! 4 stars "only" as an incentive to improve towards an app with the same level of information we find in the browser version (localisation of antennas). Weiter so. Danke!
A very good start! Thanks for that. Any chance to have source code with an open licence?
This would be great if it worked but sorry to say that this is not fit for purpose. Constant lock ups and crashes the phone too. If it manages to stay up massive battery drain (50% in 60 mins!) Un installed
Drains battery and mobile data, runs unstable and unreliable and crashes a lot. Had the app open for about 1minute, then it continued to run in the background and drained battery (from 80 down to 40% !!!!) whilst using roughly 500 mb of my mobile data. Not recommended at all
Very useful. I use it a lot before takeoff and during the flight to get an idea in which areas other gliders find lift, and what their thermal height is. It is also useful to locate team mates that are out of my Flarm's reach.
