Description
*** Disclaimer ***

This application is intended for use by hobbyists interested in tracking aircraft in their local area. It has not undergone formal testing or verification and as such the application and/or the data it presents must not be used in any safety critical situations. If you do so it will be entirely at your own risk. We make no guarantees or warranties of any kind, expressed or implied.

*** Announcement ***
We're proud to announce the release of our new SDR application called Spectrum SDR - you might want to give it a try some time.

Introduction

This application is about having a bit of fun with those amazing little RTL-SDR dongles, whilst tracking aircraft in your local area. It's nice and easy to use so why not give it a try?

Before using the application, please read the Disclaimer above, and always remember that the application must not be used in any situations where the accuracy of the data is critical to the safety of either individuals or property.

There are two ways to use the application. The first is to use an RTL-SDR dongle and an SDR driver, available from Google Play. Selecting the Driver option in the application menu will open the driver page on Google Play. The second way is to connect to an instance of rtl_tcp running on a remote computer, possibly over WiFi. You will need a good network connection for this to work reliably so use of the driver is probably the preferred way to use the application in most cases.

The application can receive ADS-B messages on either 1090 MHz or 978 MHz.

We hope you enjoy using this application.

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

★★★★★ Jake Bullit · Apr 24, 2023
Great app. Very handy for a rc plane pilot to alert me to aircraft in my vicinity. The new altitude filter for radar is just what I needed.
★★★★★ Garry Heather · Apr 16, 2025
Useful for antenna qualifying literally out in the field. I used this app to verify a home-made antenna from the top of Cheese foot Head in Hampshire (+175 m) and reliably received data from as far away as Liverpool (approx. 152NM) with an antenna made mostly from some left over T&E cable and a chassis mount connector. I have just paid to go add free and support the developer. It would be great going forward if we could export the data or produce a polar / max range from within the app.
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Mark Hill (Maleko) · Jul 26, 2023
The app works great for me. Take it, I'm just 3 NM away from PDX Airport. I can see all the arrivals and departures on the app and physically see every arrival flying over my neighborhood. Departures most the time take-off in the opposite direction of course. I don't see the airport from home but do see arriving aircraft, then, I hear the rumble of reverse thrusters to slow the aircraft down. Maybe I'll sit at the airport with the app and watch.

Lied about free use and unusable for specific flight tracking.
