  • Terrible

    I want to listen to Manchester airport and it dosent even have the airport on it. So I go on nearby and see what comes up so I am in England, and it shows Amsterdam airport.
  • Great but lacking

    Great app but unreliable for FLL airport there is no way that you guys can not get all the feeds for this airport back up after 9 days I’ve contacted you 5 times about this issue for KFLL
    all I’ve gotten was we will reply back typically in a day or two and the email is a reply a day to 15 days for a reply back and how does this issue not warrant an immediate reply back this is urgent you are alienating the FLL spotting community that use your app me included just fix it

  • Connection now drops after 5 minutes

    This is a great app, that for some reason has recently became unstable. I have been a very frequent listener and until a month ago, I rarely had a long duration connection drop even on a cellular connection. Now, the feed consistently drops after 5 or so minutes and must be restarted. BTW, I would be happy to pay a reasonable subscription fee to offset development expenses. Hopefully this issue can be resolved. Thanks again for a great app.

  • Worked perfectly!

    I found this app extremely easy to use, and it has worked perfectly every time I have opened it.
  • App won’t play for more than 5 minutes

    I’ve noticed the app will no longer play for more than a few minutes. It will stop playing after about 5 minutes and has occurred on all frequencies I’ve listened to recently. It also doesn’t seem to matter if I am in the app while listening or not. This seems to be a new issue as I haven’t experience this before and I’ve had the app for awhile. Please fix this is as it’s frustrating having to press play over and over and over again. Thank you.

  • Good, not great.

    I much prefer the website to the app.

    First, on the website it clearly lists the frequency alongside the description. On the app it will just provide the name (i.e. KSEA Ground) without a frequency. To find the freq you have to select the channel and then select “view frequency.” There is ample room on all pages to show freqs, requiring extra click-throughs is just bad UI.

    Second, there is SIGNIFICANT delay on the app vs. the website. The website is typically within a few seconds of real-time, whereas the app takes a very long time to load a channel and consistently has delays of 30 seconds or more. If you’re listening to ATC in conjunction with plane spotting, such a delay makes the app practically unusable. I’m still a huge LiveATC supporter and the website is still an excellent resource, unfortunately this app is poorly built with too much lag to be useful.

  • Realy good because I can hear perfectly

    Realy good
  • Quits playing without notice

    Just as the title suggest. I like to listen to my home airport as background noise or listening for practice with my own conversation with ATC when I fly. Without warning, it will just stop. I won’t realize until I notice I haven’t heard anything for a while. When I go to check, sure enough it’s stopped. So aggravating, I’d expect that from a free app, but this is a paid app.

    Update- I have discovered that this issue is from my device automatically switching from LTE to 5G or vice a versa. I’d like to se an update that would resolve that issue.

    Developer Response

    This was most likely a network issue on your end or somewhere between your internet connection and us. It is also possible the channel went down while you were listening due to the internet going down at that particular receiver site.
  • No way to adjust audio levels

    This is a helpful app, and I do enjoy that I can play ATC audio while receiving audio from my other apps… however most channels are super quiet, so I have to turn the volume all the way up to even hear ATC audio… and If there’s a notification or any other sound from my phone.. RIP to my hearing. An example would be listening to live ATC in the car while using google maps. You can set google maps notifications/directions to quiet, however that is still ear piercingly loud since this app has to be turned all the way up. Please fix this.

    This is not an app issue. It is only an issue with certain channels. If you can identify a channel where this is an issue, please contact us and we can work to rectify it. Most audio levels are adequate - it's unusual to have one that is that far below the others.
  • Keeps crashing

    With iphone 12 ios 16.3 the app keeps crashing and turning off regularly might be good for an update
