User Reviews

Users praise LiveATC for Android when it works, especially for background playback and ease of use, and note its usefulness for driving. Major drawbacks across reviews include limited airport coverage (especially UK), frequent reliability issues (crashes, pauses, sleep-mode failures), refund/payment problems, and device compatibility concerns (notably with Pixel devices). It can be valuable if your feed selection and device are compatible, but reliability and coverage are common reasons for negative feedback.
Pros
  • Background playback keeps audio running when the app is in the background.
  • Easy to use / intuitive interface.
  • Useful for drivers (e.g., Uber) to listen to feeds while on the move.
  • When it functions, it performs well.
Cons
  • Very limited airport coverage, with UK airports largely unavailable.
  • Frequent reliability issues: crashes, pauses, and not working when the device sleeps or the app is backgrounded.
  • Refund and payment problems: difficulty obtaining refunds and reports of unauthorized charges.
  • Device/Android compatibility problems, notably with Google Pixel devices (e.g., Pixel 9a) and general Android compatibility.
