### 5/5 — Works well with ADSBee 1090U

*2026-05-29, version 1.4.4*

Most of the one star reviewers are confusing this app with an app that shows air traffic using an internet connection. This app pulls data from a portable ADS-B receiver via the GDL90 protocol (sent over WiFi, not connected to the internet). When you do have one of these devices handy, the app works as described. The developer is friendly and responsive to feedback about the app whenever there are any issues or comments that I have. This app has been very helpful for testing my portable ADS-B receiver!
