(PLEASE READ ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** IN FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASING - NOT ALL COUNTRIES AND/OR AIRPORTS ARE AVAILABLE)

Stuck in the airport terminal with endless delays?
Live near an airport and want to find out what's going on?
Have you always wondered what pilots talk to air traffic controllers about?
Now you can stop wondering and tune in live!

LiveATC for Android provides a quick and easy way to listen in on live conversations between pilots and air traffic controllers near many airports around the world. LiveATC for Android lets you browse by U.S. state or by country to find an airport and listen in to live air traffic conversations at or near a given airport. You can also use the "Nearby" feature to find an airport near you. You can then add any channel to your Favorites list for quick and easy access.

The LiveATC Network (http://liveatc.net) is the world's largest network of streaming audio feeds focused solely on aviation, currently covering over 1,200 airports around the world with over 2,000 different audio feeds and growing daily!

Explanation of some of the needed device permissions:

• The "Location" permission is required so that the app can determine what airports are located in your area when you select "Nearby"

• The "Device ID & Call Information" permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you're placing or receiving a phone call so that it can automatically stop the audio stream to prevent it from interfering with your phone call

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
Please check to see if your country, city and/or airports of interest are covered by LiveATC *BEFORE PURCHASING* - check at: http://liveatc.net . Note that we currently have no coverage in the U.K., Belgium, Germany, Iceland, India, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and some other countries where streaming ATC communications is prohibited by local law. Available airports are subject to change at any time - LiveATC owns and operates many of the receivers used in the network but most are provided by volunteers working in cooperation with LiveATC. Available airports can change, sometimes due to reasons beyond LiveATC's control. Also, there is no guarantee that all feeds will be up 24/7, though we make our best effort to do so and have a great track record of uptime.

Ratings and reviews

UX does not look correct in tablets or in wide devices. I have a Samsung Tab A9+. It's usually in landscape mode. When I open LiveATC and tap on Diagram or on WX Radar, a pop up window shows up but only the header of the window is visible at the bottom of the screen. If I try doing the device with tge device rotated to portrait mode, I can only half of the pop up window now. The only workaround I have is to vertically split the screen with another app, and the window is now visible, but tiny.

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.

Fairly decent interface, but it does have some annoyances I'd like to see smoothed out. It asks for location permissions every time I change the airport because it wants to show me nearby airports. I don't want that feature and I can't turn it off, so I have to dismiss two different popups each time. It's not easy to understand exactly which airspace the ATC sectors cover, so tracking a flight through different areas is difficult. I don't really even know where to go for that information.
