Comments on ADS-B Radar (RTL-SDR) for Android

★★★★★ Paul Piper · Apr 14, 2025

Finally....something that works. Quick download...attached to RTL sdr V4 dongle....driver download...jobs a good 'un. Attached to a dipole on the outside of kitchen window, I'm sucking in all manner of aircraft info. Just great fellas. Great App that works.

★★★★★ donnie spiller · Aug 4, 2025

Must download SDR driver from Google play for app to function as intended. Works great once this is accomplished. Highly recommended

★★★★☆ David C · Jul 11, 2026

Great stand-alone ADS-B app. I have the NooElec NE SDR Nano 3 - Premium Tiny RTL-SDR with the Rattlesnake M6 v2 - Premium 3-Antenna Bundle and this combination works on my Samsung Galaxy note 2 ultra, samsung tablet, and even the cheap android head unit i bought to test other apps. You will need the rtl sdr driver, but they even linked that into the settings making it even simpler to use this app.

★★★★☆ Jason Meredith · Dec 4, 2023

Great little app! The Radar screen is a little too busy, a way to make the radar full screen would solve that issue. Would love too just see the radar with a hidden exit button!

★☆☆☆☆ Sean · Sep 29, 2024

Lied about free use and unusable for specific flight tracking.
