Description

RealADSB app is intended for stationary observers of local air traffic. It can consume traffic feed generated by adsb_hub server application. With some limitations traffic feed in SBS-1 BaseStation format (port 30003) is also supported. For example Stratux ADS-B device or ADSBx feeder can produce such feed.

You need to setup traffic feed yourself using adsb_hub/adsb_hub3 server application that can run on PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. It can work on top of FlightAware, FR24 feeders or on its own and generate feed using cheap USB adapter and external antenna. For more information please check our web site http://www.realadsb.com You can also use Airplanes.live API.

Commercial, private and military aircrafts are shown on map and in scrollable list sorted by distance from reference location. Reference location can be your current location or location of airport specified by 4-letter ICAO code in settings. Special button provides access to METAR and aircrafts below transition altitude will have altitude adjusted using barometric pressure of the airport. There is a way to search/filter aircrafts by tail number, callsign, type, altitude in both list and on map. Additionally 2 layers with airports and weather are available on map.

For each airframe following basic parameters shown:
* Speed, Altitude, Heading, Rate of climb/descend, Squawk
and for most of them there is additional information:
* Tail number, Callsign, ICAO type, Origin/Destination, Photo

If information about tail number or type of aircraft is missing you can easily add it right inside the app.

Other features:
* Quick access to online resources including FlightAware, Google Flights, LiveATC etc.
* Push notifications for special squawks 7500/7600/7700
* Imperial or metric units
* 3 types of map: standard, satellite and hybrid
* Sharing of map with aircrafts using standard macOS panel

Freeze

I have used this app since it’s inception. I normally connect to my dump1090 feed using the appropriate iPad. I recently downloaded the latest version, and the app freezes once a setting is entered. Very slow connecting and showing aircraft from feed. Possibly the trouble is IOS 16.

I now have upgraded my rating to 5. The developer has updated this app and provided many fixes.

The addition of OpenSky now enables the use of an airport if to see tracked aircraft at the selected airports, a great addition to the app.

I now am able to connect my own dump1090 decoder without ant difficulty.

Local ADS-B OpenSky Integration = Greater Drone Pilot Awareness

This app was super useful for setting up a personal ADS-B receiver and viewing those results. With the recent addition of OpenSky Traffic feed, you can now merge your local receiver's data with what is received from OpenSky. This makes the ADS-B service much more reliable at a local level. This is super useful for drone pilots and Remote Pilots to search for incoming aircraft. FlightAware Hides flights that this app will receive if you configure it. 10/10. This is exactly what I have been looking for.

Very responsive developer!

Love this app. Connects to our FlightAware Raspberry Pi and looks beautiful. Setup was easy and Nikolay has been very responsive to some stability issues we were having.
