Description
✈️ **Dump1090 for Android** is a powerful, real-time ADS-B decoder and aircraft tracker. It turns your Android device into a professional-grade flight receiver, decoding live data directly from the air using an RTL-SDR dongle.
**NEW VERSION 2.0 (2026)** The latest update brings a completely redesigned Material 3 interface, optimized performance, and advanced features for aviation enthusiasts.
📡 **REAL-TIME ADS-B DECODING** Unlike other flight trackers that rely on web-based data, Dump1090 decodes signals locally. - Receive live ADS-B messages (1090 MHz). - View nearby aircraft on an interactive Google Map. - High-performance updates: Track altitude, speed, heading, and squawk codes in real time.
📍 **ADVANCED VISUALIZATION** - **Flight Trails**: See the recent path of any aircraft with breadcrumb trails. - **Detailed Aircraft Info**: Access comprehensive metadata including manufacturer, model, and registration. - **Aircraft Photos**: Visual identification via integration with Planespotters.net. - **Tablet Optimized**: A dedicated landscape panel for large screens provides a rich, multi-pane experience.
🎯 **PRO-GRADE SDR FEATURES** Take full control of your receiver with configurable settings: - **Tuner Gain & PPM Correction**: Optimize reception for your specific antenna and environment. - **Bias-T Support**: Power active antennas directly from the SDR (compatible hardware required). - **Data Exporting**: Stream decoded data to other apps or PCs in Beast, AVR, or BaseStation formats.
🛠 **HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS** To use this app, you will need: 1. A compatible **RTL-SDR USB dongle** (e.g., RTL-SDR Blog V3/V4). 2. An **OTG cable** to connect the SDR to your Android device. 3. The **rtl_tcp_andro** driver (available for free on the Play Store).
⚠️ **DISCLAIMER** This application is intended for informational and hobbyist purposes only. It must NOT be used for aircraft navigation, flight safety, or operational decision-making. Ensure that SDR usage is permitted in your region before use.
🔒 **PERMISSIONS** - **Location**: Used for calculating your distance from aircraft and centering the map. - **Internet**: Used for map tiles, aircraft metadata, and Planespotters photos. - **Notifications**: Keeps the decoder running in the background during active data exports.

Works very well. I do kind of wish it would show more technical information from the map view when you select a plane, as just loading a picture of it really doesn't tell me anything, and you have to scroll down to get the technical info.

App works well with my RTL-SDR V3. Very good reception. Map is nice except I don't like when you touch an aircraft, the first thing you see is a photo. To see the A/C data you have to scroll down, and then half the map is covered up. Realize this is how ADSBX does it, but that format is more applicable to a full-size computer monitor. Would rather see aircraft data first, and photo at the bottom.

I use Dump1090 on PC as well, good software simple to use and works very well.

Detects aircraft but does not show them on the map even when over 30 aircraft are listed. Thought others would have brought this up.
