User Reviews

The app offers broad airport coverage and good audio when streams work, and is easier to use on mobile than the site. However, reliability is a major issue: streams buffer and drop, delays persist, and feeds go down. The UI is often clunky and not intuitive, and stability/maintenance concerns lead to crashes and inconsistent performance. Overall, it has strong potential but is hampered by reliability and usability flaws.
Pros
  • Broad airport coverage including lots of airports, regional and international.
  • Good audio quality when streams are working.
  • Mobile-friendly and easier to use than the website.
  • Longstanding user base; users report familiarity and continued use.
Cons
  • Unreliable streaming with frequent buffering, drops, and disconnections.
  • Significant delay compared to the website; not real-time in the app (often 30 seconds or more).
  • Poor UI/UX decisions (frequencies not shown next to channels; extra taps to view details; perceived as unfriendly).
  • Feeds/channels frequently down or not maintained; some airports unavailable for weeks.
  • Stability issues: crashes, freezing, and occasional device compatibility problems (e.g., not working on iPad).

I’ve been using the app ATC which is phenomenal, but it didn’t have one small airport I was flying to (Cleveland Hopkins) and saw that liveatc provides coverage however the quality and speed is absolutely horrible compared to ATC app which provides a very user friendly interface with captions and live flight points on map. I’d highly not recommend buying this app for anyone

Channels are down too often and stay down too long. Don’t waste your money on this app. There are better options out there.
