Amazing

I purchased this app last Wednesday. I am very satisfied with it. I only gave it four stars, because I want you to add one thing. Please add a search airplane, and then tag button so that we can follow it from start to finish without changing frequencies. If you do that, I will change my rate to five stars. Please read this, and get back to me as soon as possible. Have a nice day.

Great, but could use improvements

I love this app! It works great! But I live by a small airport in Florida so I really want it to have that ;)! ( PS: the air port is SPG )

Works as designed

Great to pass the time

If you can add Apple car play function?

Hi I am driving a lot and wanted to have this app also in the apple car play system, so while I am driving I can easily swap and select the station I like. Or at least I can select the favorite stationā€¦. Thanks so much! Leo

Airport

You need to add St. Louis Downtown airport KCPS

Was great app.

It was great at first l,but now i canā€™t connect to any frequency

streams go down a lot

it has potential, i recommend checking the liveatc site first. if the stream you want goes down there a lot, itā€™ll continue in the app. I thought it would auto reconnect but looks like it doesnā€™t.

Seattle coverage.

Purchased the app a few days ago and still no coverage of SeaTac or Boeing field.

Clunky UX

Itā€™s not possible to quickly toggle between frequencies at the same airport - instead you have to go back to start and search for the airport again, then choose the new frequency. When trying to use on onboard WiFi itā€™s painfully annoying

Great app needs some ease of use tho

Great app would like to see more options in terms of the being able to see a list of the most live listeners by airport or airfields also being able to go a step father and be able to pick filter an airspace to only see maybe class D, C, or B etc.

Vegas

Please update Vegas Harry Reid Both Towers, multiple volume levels from both towers

Love this

For a free app, this is really great. Very handy. I can listen to the tower and pilots while watching a plane land on another app. When the aircraft switch frequencies I can use the search function to find the right feed. Perfect.

Frustrating

There is no functionality to switch between frequencies for the same airport. Itā€™s extremely annoying having to go back to choose the airport every time

Great but lacking

Great app but unreliable for FLL airport there is no way that you guys can not get all the feeds for this airport back up after 9 days Iā€™ve contacted you 5 times about this issue for KFLL all Iā€™ve gotten was we will reply back typically in a day or two and the email is a reply a day to 15 days for a reply back and how does this issue not warrant an immediate reply back this is urgent you are alienating the FLL spotting community that use your app me included just fix it

Good app

Audio could be very staticky at times. There is a 10-15 second delay from actual transmissions.

Could be better

My biggest complaint is switching frequencies, I can add favorites but the change channel button disappeared after a few minutes so every time I have to look up the airport or frequency and select the new one. So a quick drop down menu for favorites would be a nice fix.

Nice app

Like the app wish there was a time out duration setting. Having to restart the stream after every 5-8ish minutes is a little frustrating.

Connection now drops after 5 minutes

This is a great app, that for some reason has recently became unstable. I have been a very frequent listener and until a month ago, I rarely had a long duration connection drop even on a cellular connection. Now, the feed consistently drops after 5 or so minutes and must be restarted. BTW, I would be happy to pay a reasonable subscription fee to offset development expenses. Hopefully this issue can be resolved. Thanks again for a great app.

Please Update with Archived ATC Audio

This is a great app, but I would like to see the archived audio option so that I can critique my own ATC comms after flying.

Crucial Airports Missing

Dont take me wrong, this truly is a magestic app. Although it would be great if the airports Ezeiza and Aeroparque (Both from Argentina) could be added. I dont know how the adding airports policies work but for sure this ones would be great.

Great App that replaces the infamous United Ch9

This app is the best you could hope for in the environment of overly regulated Air Traffic Control audio. Not only that it allows you to listen to music while tuned in. Wish more apps did that. 5/5

Good app but needs updating

The app is good with lots of different area to listen to, but the app needs a major update as I donā€™t think itā€™s been updated in a long time. At times it will completely stop with no sound. Other times the actual ATC area will be totally shut off.

Cheeseburger without the meat

People with bad reviews are unreasonable. 1- THIS IS FANTASTIC 2- THIS IS HORRIBLE, Let me tell you why, in this day in age and the tech we have, this could be 10x bigger than just analogue sounding waves coming through one of the most advanced hand held devices created by man kind. There are sooooooo many amazing things that can be added to this app (even for extra cost). Except the developers are sitting on a billion dollar cheeseburger idea and are too lazy too just add the meat.

Not bad, volume wonā€™t go up

Worked really good for the first three years or so that I had it and suddenly the volume wonā€™t go up! Canā€™t hear it, deleting app. Tried contacting support, keeps saying my e mail is invalid?

Works Very Well

Clean, intuitive UI. It does exactly as advertised very well.

Audio

I really like the app however, a lot of times itā€™s hard to hear what the pilots are saying and itā€™s a little frustrating. Can you fix this please?

Hopeful

Love the app. My local airport was down for awhile and they just told me itll be up end of august

I like the app but hoped for better

I love the app, I am just a little disappointed because I canā€™t select my local airport even though it is an international airport. Other from that, This is a great app

Needs a gain adjustment

Needs a volume adjustment to turn up quiet feeds. With the latest features, I like to have music on in the background, but unless the music is super quiet, I canā€™t hear ATC. Please build in a way to turn up the app volume!

Ok ... but latest version not working now for local exec airport

Before could easily access and listen to KHND, Henderson, NV Executive Airport ground and tower ... it connects now but no sound on iPhone or iPad, or via the website....

Awesome for Student Pilots

This is awesome!!!! Totally worth it! Developer, Any chance to get the frequency that the airport is broadcasting on in addition to their name?? Thank you for all of the work!!

Love it, but it is so quiet

I love This app however it is so quiet I have to turn my volume in my car almost all the way up to hear it. Then when I get a text itā€™s like a sonic boom went off in my car.

Does a good job

Not sure what the negative reviews are about. I use the app and havenā€™t had any problems. It does what it says it will do. I like it so far.

Where did KMEM go?

Love this app! Why did KMEM disappear?

Great Product

PLEASE BRING BACK MEADOWS FIELD BAKERSFIELD. This is a great product. I would like to see them add all ARTCC feeds in the United States.

Needs Interesting Recordings

I only visit the website to listen to the Interesting Recordings section. Awful to listen in mobile browser, wish this app had access to it.

Needs static suppression

Great app, but ideally would have an option for suppressing the static between translations.

JFK airport no audio at all

please update ....I checked all JFK no audio at joe

Works great

Iā€™m a student pilot and I was about to buy a radio transceiver to practice radio communication, but Iā€™ve found this app that works great. You will not regret the purchase. Go for it

Amazing app

Please add KAPF airportšŸ‘ŠšŸ½šŸ’ŖšŸ½

SFO no tower

A few days ago the San Francisco (SFO) ATC reception decreased dramatically. You can hear planes but with static, but cannot hear tower or ATIS, even though they are listed as ā€œupā€. A week ago it was fine. What changed or failed?

NO TOWER chater

I can hear the pilots but not the tower information KBNA Nashville. After the last update it went away. It worked perfect before the update. It tells me Tower frequ. is 118.600?

3 Negative User Reviews for LiveATC Air Radio

Terrible transmission.

Full of static and terrible audio. Most airports don't even have many of the frequencies working. So far it's been useless

No Home page?

This app could be so much more with just a bit of effort. Itā€™s lacking compared to the Android version. No menu, no home page. The web page is better than the app...

Lost airports

No pittsburgh, no Cleveland. I live near both. I would like to have them.
