cool but don't waste your money. just use the website. I like to watch flight radar while listening to ATC but for some reason the app stops playing when you go to another tab. :/
waste of money. the app doesn't include Spain.
Total garbage, waste of $4, do they give refunds?
no airports in my area
didn't let me refund the app🤬
I purchased live atc yesterday after I read reviews, but I now wish I had read more of them and saved myself 3.69 It does not give any uk airports what so ever a waste of time and money if it was possible to give no stars i would or even minus, save your hard earned money.unless you want further afield ofcourse.
not consistent.. sucks
this app is utterly useless. it does not work in the uk or any country of interest. save yourself the bother, buy an airband radio
all airport unavailable
Return my payment, I never authorized this!
can't get one Uk airport..
does not work in the uk..dont waste your money.
doesn't work
i love spending 4 dollars on an app only for it to not be compatible with a Pixel 9a.
I haven't been able to hear various ATC around au for a very long time. RIP ATC app!
Doesn't even have the UK on there, I couldn't track anything
Not working at all. How about letting folks know that this is a Pay to Play app now!
Every time I try to change channels the app closes.
Waste of $4 they don't have FLL live what a shame
I about this app about 3 or 4 months ago now I can't figure out how to get any frequencies to turn on so that I can listen to them I'm not so I'm using it wrong
no stream for the Eisenhower International Airport in Wichita? it's the largest city in Kansas.
Does not work in UK!!
Downloaded paid version. There are 5 airports within 25nm of me only one of which it found. I have an airport 2 miles from me. Visible from my back yard. Not listed. Refund.
Don't find south africa
Doesn't have anything in half the countries listed
Doesn't find any UK airports
This app has gone downhill
Disappointing app. I enjoy using the LiveATC website and rarely have any quality issues there, so I had hopes that the app would be great as well. Unfortunately, my experience so far has been disappointing. The feed cuts out all the time and takes minutes to reconnect only to drop again. Doesn't matter what channel I'm on or whether I'm on WiFi. The app is easy to use, but as of now, unless they fix this issue soon, I would not recommend purchasing this app.
what happened to KDEN frequencies? used to listen to them all the time and now they're all gone
Works 20% of the time
buggy. some interface options like weather and airport diagram dont close after open and you have go close the app. if you put it in background mode... good luck turning it off without getting into the settings again.
won't work when phone sleeps or locks
limited airports for a pay app
had to delte the app. it will not play any.ire when the phone screen is off. wokred fine oast week ut this week when i lock the phone the app stops. i have checked the settings to make sure the box that says keep playing when the app is closed is checked. i have uninstalled and reinstalled it, and still nothing. not expecting the developers to read this, but that is the issue i am having.
I love this app, but lately I keep getting error or pending anytime I try to listen to a stream. Also lately it doesn't work well when turning on my phone's VPN.
need more airports, such as the UK etc
After a couple of transmissions I get an open squelch need to fix
No record function. No equalizer to clean up audio. No "happening now" list, or way to report an aircraft emergency. No rewind...really needs basic features of other scanner/ radio apps.
Doesn't contain a single frequency from any Indian Airports.
As good as it's going to get. Crashes often, pending often. Can listen & learn though👌 Edit: the app that works about 1/3rd of the time
Only us. us is not World
Please add recordings App doesn't transmit most time
Okay, but cannot listen to it while watching flight radar. Stops playing. Can't change permissions to allow it.
Only had some frequencies, it was just pilot - no ground comms
