LiveATC on iPhone iOS4

I don't comment on pending releases until they are in or near beta.  When there is more to report it will be reported.

And we don't need Apple vs. Android debate here.  There are plenty of forums for that.  This is not one of them.

Someone earlier in the thread said "If it was made free, and included a small ad banner at the bottom, I'd be happy to download".

I will always pay for apps to avoid small ad banners! I don't mind paying at all for a clean non add supported user interface.

On an associated topic, hopefully you won't mind paying a premium once AT&T starts charging bandwidth hogs their fair share. I am not using that term personally toward you - it is just a common term for a heavy user. If a device and network allows people to listen streaming dead air for hours on end, that is a good thing, as long as normal users don't have to subsidize it.

Not necessarily, Dave. 80% of the time I use the LiveATC app on my iPhone, I'm accessing via wi-fi. It may be even more than 80%, but that number is a conservative estimate.

Cool - this was just sort of an "Economics 101" statement as opposed to any attack of ourselves, the ATC "COMM" enthusiasts.

AT&T obviously is having growing pains. Their fault mostly - not ours.

I enjoy the iPhone liveATC app, was very happy to pay $3.99 or whatever it was for it..

One small nit.. maybe it's just me. It seems that every time I pick up the phone after driving home listening to the local tower frequency, I seem to hit the trashcan and am greeted with "This channel has been removed from your favorites".
Every Time! I re-add it immediately, but now that freq is at the bottom of the favorites list instead of at the top.

Any chance that instead of the trashcan deleting from favorites and then giving a dialog box to ACK that it just did it (which I really didn't want), either remove the trashcan and implement the swipe to remove in the favorites list, or keep the trashcan and have it confirm you want to remove instead of ack that it just removed it. IE:
Remove KMYF Tower from Favorites? OK / Cancel. Upon OK, no further dialog is needed, just remove it.

Thanks for the great site, and the app!

I have been listening to ZHU (New Orleans) on my iPhone and it seems like I am only getting half (the pilot's half I think) of the conversation.

Additionally, how do the frequencies work? Is the feed playing all of the frequencies at once? Is there a way I could narrow it down to one frequency?

Sorry to be a such a newbie.
