I notice immediately a huge internet traffic while using this application: 6MB/s. This traffic continues untill the app is stopped by the user or by the limit (demo version). It restarts again at 6-8 MB/s pressing the play button. When the button is activated without Wi-Fi, I get a message "Possible inconsistency. No data received from RTL SDR. maybe press pink red play/stop button again". Update: I performed many tests based on the feedback from the author. The huge traffic is indeed not appearing in the total Wifi data statistics so this is not a problem. It remains that the RTL-SDR driver does not work without an active internet connection on my Xiaomi MIMAX (Android 7/MIUI). All apps based on this driver have the same issue. Unfortunately, using an ADS-B receiver is not of much use when an Internet connexion is available: FR24 or Radarbox provide more information without requiring a receiver dongle. According to the author, the driver works fine without internet on other devices so I upgrade my evaluation to 4* even if it does not work on my MIMAX..
What you monitor (6 MB/s) is the device internal
TCP traffic between Driver App and Dump1090. Every RTL SDR app will show you the same. Dump1090 will work without Internet ( just switch your phone to flight mode and it will work). Photos and addtional Aircraft infos will not be avaliavle without internet.
Location Service is necessary.
