You're a Drone Pilot and concerned about nearby traffic? Enable traffic monitoring based on range to be alerted of any approaching aircraft.

Enhance your situational awareness with live traffic, weather and flight information displayed directly in 3rd party apps supporting the GDL90 protocol (e.g. AvareX, iFlyGPS, FltPlanGo and DroidEFB).

Harness the capabilities of your Software Defined Radio device (RTL-SDR) to capture live Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADSB) data. With ADSB Receiver, you'll have access to:

-Aircraft Positions: Track the movements of nearby aircraft, including altitude, speed and heading.
-Weather Data: Stay informed with official NEXRAD weather images (using a GDL90 capable app), plus aviation reports like METAR, PIREP, WINDS and more.

Ratings and reviews

enjoying the app. works fine but when I use my avare navigation local sectional I lose the valuable airspeed/altitude info. I see numbers but it must be a code that makes no sense to me. this information is there on adsb receiver pro but not when I go to my local sectional. maybe I'm missing something? otherwise would be useful in the air.

Pro version generally works great but a big annoyance; if no packets, app stops listening after 10 cycles of 19 seconds - or 190 seconds. There is an option to restart the app after every 30 seconds of non-reception but the restart cycle starts after only 19 seconds and reception is not active again until 11 more seconds. That means one third of the time the app is not listening for packets so also not usable. Please add an option to let it run for hours even if no packets!

This app has been great! It has enabled me to use the inexpensive and reliable FlightAware receiver with my tablet to put traffic on the moving map display. I have used the paid version regularly for a couple years now and when problems arose the owner of the app stepped up to keep it going.
