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.

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

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.

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!

Lied about free use and unusable for specific flight tracking.
