Been using this app for years now and love it. There's only a persistent issue i wish could be fixed. The stream will pause or stop when the phone locks, after a few minutes, (this is really annoying). Also Gdansk and Reszow are always down.
Exactly what I wanted. A reliable app for listening to air traffic in, out, and around Tulsa International. It is configurable to pause when switching apps or continue to play if out of the app. Works perfectly. I use it with the Plane Finder radar, so I know the transmissions are live and real time. It's worth every penny.
I cant go outside without looking up at a plane with that urge to know where its going or coming from and thinking how cool it is knowing that the voice i hear of the pilot (or FO) is coming from that blinking light shooting accross the sky at that very moment. FYI i use Flight tracker radar app together with LIVEATC to get call signs and all other info.
Last update totally broke the app. If I turn my screen off, the app stops. If I navigate to another app, LiveATC stops. I have to constantly click the play button to restart the stream. It used to be the exact opposite: even closing the app wouldn't stop the stream. I had to force stop it in the phone settings. Please find a middle ground, so that I can listen to the stream with the phone screen off or if I’m looking at another app, but also stop the stream when the app is actually closed.
Not bad, but bugs prevent it from being great. The "pause" button only works about half the time. I suspect it doesn't have any garuanteed delivery. And if you force-kill the app, the audio will continue regardless. I typically restart my phone to get it to stop.
When I first got this app, it worked very well. Over the last couple of months, however, connection to the ATC facilities that I choose is hit and miss, even though they show as"UP". All the other apps I have work fine, so my internet connection isn't the problem.
Won't let me enter frequencies directly despite saying that in the search field. Won't show some airports and frequencies (PHLI). Edit: The latest UI doesn't let you go back to the full list of airport frequencies. This makes it impossible to quickly switch between ground and tower frequencies. Hating the new UI.
I haven't been able to hear various ATC around au for a very long time. RIP ATC app!
Sometimes there is so much static you cannot here the frequencies. That, I know is not the app's fault. Question / Request to the App Developer: Could you bring back KOPF (Opa Locka, FL)? It was there when I first purchased the app, now I've noticed it is no longer as a selection. Thank you. Stay safe and have a great day.
Solution for other users: For those of you having issues with the app still running in the background after closing it, try this: Hit the pause audio before closing the app. This will shut the app down completely without having to force stop the app. If you don't hit the pause button, the audio will continue in the background. I hope this helps everyone with this issue.
