LiveATC iPhone App Now Available

[dutchmil]

Hi Dave,

I think the previous version was better, I could listen to feeds via a WiFi connection,
but the new version doesn't allow that anymore .....

Regards,


René.

The version doesn't care what kind of connection you are on - should work fine on WiFi.  Tested on many WiFi networks - contact me privately and we can figure out what is wrong on your end.

The latest version works great with WiFi.  I have a 1st gen iPod Touch and WiFi is my only choice.

Downloaded the app over Labor Day weekend, and I love it!
About the only problem I have is for some reason I can't tune YPPH.

That is being worked on.  The feeder is streaming in the wrong format.

Nice to use it while flying on commercial airlines with WiFi . Since scanners are now a big no-no.

Any update on the Blackberry app?

Not at this time.  When I have news I will post it.

Sounds promising, however I'd like to know one thing before I buy it. And this is whether the feed continues after the screen is locked (ie. turned off). If it has to be on while you're listening thats no good on the battery.

Yes, it continues to play after the screen is locked.

Awesome. I don't know if its possible or not but is there any way in the future that Liveatc can be listened to on the iphone running in the background, so the user can do other things?

If Apple ever allows other apps besides iTunes to play in the background.  Right now they don't.

Dave,

Try listening to the feed directly off of the LiveATC server with your iPhone instead of using the app. I know with our feed for the Edmonton Fire Department, if a user goes to our website with the Safari browser and selects the icon to listen, it will launch the built in media player. If you are able to listen to the feed directly off of the LiveATC server you may be able to enable a background play mode from within the application. Keep in mind, this will only work if a person has a firmware version of 3.0 or later.

Just a thought.

With the new update, if you go into 'More' and select something under that tab, you can't get back to the original list of things under 'More' without rebooting the App, as far as I can see. Possible bug? - Or perhaps intentional.
