About this app

SkyDecode brings two things together for student pilots, aviation English learners, and aviation enthusiasts: a way to get familiar with ATC communications, and a real-time view of what's flying around the world.

ATC audio, decode ATC radio, learn ATC chatter & read ATC transcripts

What you get

ATC dialogues with synchronized text
- Each ATC dialogue is paired with a synchronized text view, so you can follow along visually while you listen.
- A natural way to pick up phraseology, callsign formats, and the flow of typical exchanges — without having to decode every word by ear.

Real-time global flight tracking
- A live flight map powered by adsb.fi, with sub-5-second refresh.
- Tap any aircraft on the map to see its callsign, altitude, ground speed, heading, and squawk code.
- Watch global air traffic move in real time, anywhere in the world.

Built for focused use
- A clean, dark, radar-inspired interface that's easy on the eyes during extended sessions.

SkyDecode is an independent app and is not affiliated with any air traffic control authority or live ATC monitoring service.

Terrible app. No trial period and I don't blame them for that. Most would unsubscribe right away. Computer voices not great and the runways at BOS and aircraft identification were all wrong. Other than that it's a great app. 🙄

Hello～ Sometimes there may be no sound in the airport control tower dialogue, which could be due to signal or network issues. We’ll continue to improve the experience and make your flight journey smoother. Thank you for your understanding and support～

Nothing free about this and not what video advertised. All AI simulated for a very steep price. If you don't accept the price, then you "loose all access". You cannot listen to any live feeds.

wish you could actually use the app in any way without signing up to the subscription. there is no option to even view the main screen. you can try and decline the offer but there is no way to continue. I would like to see what I am getting before spending $150.
