VATRadar vs Standard Tags

VATRadar brings the VATSIM network to your iPhone and iPad. Follow your own flight, see which controllers are online, browse the traffic connected right now, and keep track of the events you do not want to miss. MY FLIGHT Sign in with your VATSIM account and VATRadar picks up your flight automatically whenever you are connected. • Altitude, heading, ground speed and vertical speed • Your transponder code and the code ATC assigned you • Departure, arrival and alternate airports • Filed route, filed altitude and remaining distance • Aircraft type and current phase of flight CONTROLLERS AND AIRPORTS Browse the airports with ATC online, or work through FIRs and UIRs to see who is covering a region. Open any airport for: • The controllers and ATIS stations currently online • Live ATIS information • The current METAR for the field • Runways with headings, lengths, widths, surfaces and elevations • Published frequencies PILOTS Every pilot connected to the network, searchable by callsign, VATSIM CID or name. Open any flight to see the same detail you get for your own. EVENTS Browse upcoming VATSIM events, read the full briefing, and mark the ones you plan to fly as favorites. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS • Reminders for your favorited events, at the lead times you choose • VATSIM private messages, including a controller's contact me • SELCAL alerts Private message and SELCAL notifications need the free vPilot Push Notification Plugin, installed on the Windows PC you fly from. You can download it from inside the app, or at vatradar.io/vpilot-plugin. NETWORK STATS Connected clients and unique users, pilots online, controllers broken down by position, ATIS stations and prefiled flight plans. ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN VATRadar is built by a blind developer and sim pilot, so VoiceOver is not an afterthought here - it is how the app gets used every day. Every screen, list and control is designed to be navigated comfortably without sight. The same care extends to the rest of Apple's accessibility features. VATRadar uses standard iOS controls throughout, so it works with Larger Text, Bold Text, increased contrast and Voice Control, and follows your Dark Mode setting. If something does not work with the accessibility features you rely on, that is a bug to be fixed, not a limitation to live with. FREE VATRadar is free. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. Signing in requires a VATSIM account, which is also free. VATRadar is intended for flight simulation on the VATSIM network. The airport, runway, frequency, weather and ATIS information it shows must not be used for real-world flight planning or navigation. VATRadar is an independent project, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by VATSIM.

Standard Tags puts the entire BarbershopTags.com catalog in your pocket and keeps it there, signal or no signal. On first launch it downloads a complete local copy of the database. It's under 10 MB. From then on every search runs on your own device, instantly. The app only reaches the internet to fetch sheet music or a learning track you haven't opened before, and once you've viewed a tag its sheet music is cached for good. Rehearsal in a church basement, a hotel ballroom with four bars of signal, an afterglow in a parking lot; the app does not care. SEARCH AND SING • Full-catalog search that works with no connection • Filter by tag type and number of parts; sort by popularity, rating, newest, or relevance • Sheet music, learning tracks, and videos for the tags that have them • A real pitch pipe built in; hold to sound the key, swipe to change it, swipe sideways for sharps and flats • Tags with no written key show an estimated key, and you can swipe to the right one and submit a correction for the community • Rate tags and sort by your own ratings ORGANIZE YOUR REPERTOIRE • Star the tags you keep coming back to • Build unlimited lists; convention prep, chapter favorites, quartet repertoire, the four you can actually ring at midnight • Pin the lists you use most for one-tap access • Publish a list for every Standard Tags user to find, and save other people's lists for offline use SHARE A TAG ANYWHERE • Send a tag file that opens straight to the tag with the sheet music already attached, no database round trip, no waiting • Share a link that opens directly in the app, or show a QR code for someone to scan • If they don't have Standard Tags, the link takes them to BarbershopTags.com or their app store instead SING TOGETHER • Tag Circles: start a circle, share the code, and everyone's app follows the same queue and the same active tag in real time. Decide whether only the host or the whole circle can change tags. Pool everyone's favorites into one shared list to find what the group already knows. • Tag Roulette: a real-time multiplayer game. The host picks the pool, players join with a four-letter code, and everyone lands on the same random tag at the same moment. Vote to finish or skip, set a timer for speed rounds, and let the app assign each singer a part. FOLLOW AND KEEP SCORE • Follow arrangers and get a notification when they post something new • 82 achievements across 11 series, from your first tag to the genuinely obscure • Personal stats: what you've viewed, played, shared and rated • A Year in Review recap of your singing year FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Standard Tags is free, and an account is optional. Search, lists, sheet music, the pitch pipe and sharing all work without one. The optional subscription adds cloud backup and sync across your devices, so a lost or replaced phone never means starting over, plus a high-speed sheet music mirror that takes over automatically when BarbershopTags.com is slow to answer. It is priced to cover server costs. Publishing a list publicly is a separate one-time purchase that keeps the public collection curated. Available in English, Spanish, German and Swedish. Built for barbershoppers: quartets, choruses, woodshedders, and anyone who has ever stopped a conversation to ring a chord.
