LiveATC iPhone App Now Available

[dave]

Great app.  Although I had some feeds set up in fstream, I bought the app and I am glad I did.  However, the one thing I was looking for and that would completely differentiate it from other feeds is the list of the top channels being listned to right now. Can you please add this feature?

It will likely show up in a future release.

Great.  For the casual listener it helps alert one to interesting feeds.  The iPhone is replacing my laptop; pulling up the website is not ideal.

just out of curiosity for any of you liveatc app users - have any of the streams stopped playing resulting in having to press the play button again? it keeps happening to me every 30 or so mins.
just wondering if it's my connection that's playing up.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!

I have just purchased! This is so much more reliable than FStream - Sometimes it would take about 6-8 attempts to connect only for it to disconnect a few moments later.

Fantastic work Dave!

Just a quick question:-

How does this app differentiate between operating on 3G and WiFi?? I just want to make sure when I am streaming and I am connected via my WiFi I am not chewing into my 3G data ....

Cheers,

Julian

Hmmm...that is an iPhone issue.  We use whatever the active network connection is.  If it's WiFi, then we stream over WiFi.

Ok sweet!

Bought this today, great way to listen to some feeds while on the go. My only comment (apart from I'd like to see more feeds from the website!) is that, for the pilots amongst us, I'd like the option to get more info such as the frequencies etc, especially where one feed does a tower and an approach, be good to know I am getting both rather than just one.

Looking forward to seeing the app evolving.

The descriptions will get better updates as time goes on.  Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Dave,

 Again love the app, but after two weeks of the app I have a question about the KOAK feed. I use the app all the time when I am on the ramp, and I noticed a difference with your app and pocket tunes app. Since I am on the AOA I use just one ear piece in my left ear so I can hear the South Field. I know that the North Field / South Fields are split, but when I use LiveATC app I can only hear the tower in the left ear bud, but when I listen using Pocket Tunes with just one ear bud (Left) I can hear ground and tower.  Any idea why that is?

I don't know, but it must have to do with the way we're handling the audio stream that is different.  We will look into it.  Thanks for the report.

Version 1.0.1 is now available - minor bug fix version which fixes the duplicate city name issue. So Portland, Columbus, and several of the other feeds are now visible.

Next version is in the works - more cool stuff coming.

Nice speedy update on the app Dave been using it since it was released.Appreciate all the hard work u and the app designers have put into the program.

First of all, thanks for the app Dave.

I do run into this problem listening to the Boston tower and Boston final approach feeds. It tends to cut out after just a few minutes. Oddly, it does not seem to happen when I'm listening via wifi, only 3G.

Other feeds like JFK Tower seem to work fine regardless.

Thanks.  Are you moving or in the same location when this happens?  When you are on 3G or EDGE, you could be getting handed off to another cell, and I am not sure AT&T doesn't reset network connections sometimes.

We'll do more testing and make sure that the connection maintenance is more robust.
