LiveATC Air Radio App Reviews

Limited Airport Selection

Wow. I thought for certain the Detroit International Airport (DTW) would be on here. Nope. This is my only gripe. Should this airport be added, Ill change to 5 stars.

Worthless

DEN freqs have been down for months. Most others in this app dont work. Waste of $$!

Great for learning

Its crowd sourced, so you dont get to listen to every airport, but its a great way to listen to ATC. Id recommend this very much.

Excellent app until recent update

Loved this app until last week when all my Favorites were removed stating the channel is no longer available. Found KPHX but it has different label and says the channel is unavailable. Problem is if you go to web version they channels that previously existed are still active and up and running. Why doesnt mobile version have same working channels as web version?

Needs Improvement

- Does not allow to switch frequencies to listen to the desired freq. - My requested airport isnt listed. - There should be a free version for tryout before purchase.

Cross Country Entertainment

As I drive from coast to coast, from airport to airport I listen for hours. The AM/FM Sat radio gets boring. ATC is always different. Best $3 I ever spent.

So glad this exists!

As a student pilot this is one of my favorite apps. The streams and community are top notch! FEATURE REQUEST: Please make it so that LiveATC plays nice with other audio apps. It would be ideal to have music playing in another app and have LiveATC running in the background then have the other apps audio duck out momentarily whenever the LiveATC stream has a transmission above the noise floor for that channel (especially key for less active airports with lots of "dead air" between transmissions). GPS apps are capable of ducking, so it should be possible, however LiveATC would probably need a channel noise threshold feature or control. Thank you!

APP does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do

Thanks to this app I can better track aircraft and also understand the communication between towers and pilots. LiveATC support is spot on! Within a day of contacting LiveATC I was having a Skype Audio Call with the founder Dave Pascoe. Simply Amazing! Keep up the great work!

Awesome.

I listen to this more than music.

Absolutely Great!!

These folks do a great job. Works exactly as advertised! Tremendous array of both domestic and international airports. The wife and I are both airline pilots and this app lets us hear each other across the globe.

Issue with favorites being deleted

After some frustration with my favorites being deleted and not re-saving I deleted the app and reloaded it and the issue went away Thought Id pass that along This is by far my favorite app and I listen to it all the time. I live south of KSJC and both the arrivals and the departures run right past me. The app only runs 3 to 5 seconds behind my scanner so very much real enough time. Love it over the Bluetooth in the car so glad my favorites are now saving again

Love this app!

My fiancé is a flight attendant and I can listen to her crew! Also I can know when she takes off or lands.

Great for aspiring aviators or curious enthusiasts!

Live ATC lets you easily listen to the worlds popular airports traffic controllers. I have yet to find a class B or C airport that wasnt listed. I dont recall how much it costed but Id gladly pay much more than the dollar or two it costs.

Buy this already

Perfect if you are a plane spotter or if you just have an airport near you or if you just enjoy aviation.

Opening UI Screen worse

This program functionality is still great. LiveATC remains the "go to" app for aviation buffs. The The overall UI seems less polished then previous versions. Particularly noticeable is the opening screen, that is more crude then the more polished versions of the past.

Disappointment

Bought the app. Several months later,the approach control was deleted from the choices. Didnt think indianapolis was that bad. Ice been flying this airspace for 41 years. Also very spotty center coverage. Id give it a 5 out of 10 at best.

Terrible

Local selection very poor. I live in Columbus, the capital of Ohio. Our local airport is not even listed, just a small airport here in town. Not what I was expecting, I just threw my money away with no way to get it back. You can check to see if your airport is listed before you buy.

Doesnt load!!

Have had this app for a year and it worked great, then I upgraded to IPhone 6 and it wont even load-have deleted and re-loaded program twice!!! What gives???

Works exactly as advertised

Please add the ability to listen to interesting and archived recordings. Thanks!

Suggestion: Audio Archives?

The website offers a way to access audio archives, which is very interesting. I wonder if that feature could be added to this app? Anyway, I come from a family of pilots and we love this app! Great job!
