LiveATC Air Radio

I’ve been using the app ATC which is phenomenal, but it didn’t have one small airport I was flying to (Cleveland Hopkins) and saw that liveatc provides coverage however the quality and speed is absolutely horrible compared to ATC app which provides a very user friendly interface with captions and live flight points on map. I’d highly not recommend buying this app for anyone

Channels are down too often and stay down too long. Don’t waste your money on this app. There are better options out there.

hey, what’s going on? What happened De? The main airports in the United States and I can’t find it on live ATC they had an incident at DIA/DEN just the other night what’s going on?

2026 Update: Besides the expected inconsistent quality of volunteer-provided streams (mostly bad), the LiveATC servers themselves can’t seem to provide a consistent connection. Constant drops and buffering delays and disconnections. Funny enough the app seems to work slightly better than the website now, but overall I wouldn’t recommend anyone spending actual money on this service. Original review (2022): I much prefer the website to the app. First, on the website it clearly lists the frequency alongside the description. On the app it will just provide the name (i.e. KSEA Ground) without a frequency. To find the freq you have to select the channel and then select “view frequency.” There is ample room on all pages to show freqs, requiring extra click-throughs is just bad UI. Second, there is SIGNIFICANT delay on the app vs. the website. The website is typically within a few seconds of real-time, whereas the app takes a very long time to load a channel and consistently has delays of 30 seconds or more. If you’re listening to ATC in conjunction with plane spotting, such a delay makes the app practically unusable. I’m still a huge LiveATC supporter and the website is still an excellent resource, unfortunately this app is poorly built with too much lag to be useful.

Much easier than trying to navigate the web interface on a phone. Well worth the $5. One request — add the actual frequency number to the channels list. When trying to follow your flight across handoffs, it would help to see the actual frequency be able to quickly find the next channel, since that’s how ATC refers to them.

It’s really sad that this app essentially has a monopoly on what it does because it’s really poorly designed. Awful UI. Audio frequently loops. Really annoying to find a channel based on the frequency.

Been using this app for years now It’s a good app sometimes it does have a little problems connecting to the local tower, but other than that can’t really complain

Excellent Airport choices and really good Audio ☝️😎

great with little delay. pairs perfectly with flight radar24

KTMB has been down for weeks

7秒ぐらい遅れて通信するけど音声とかはいいんですよ！！！あと50年このアプリは使います

待ってましたって感じのアプリですね。 ただ空港が本当に重要なところに限られしまっているのでもう少し増えたら良いなぁと思います。 後はフライトローダー24を見ながら楽しんでいますが最大1〜２分程度ラグがあるようです。 自分のicr6 と同時に聞いてみてもそんな感じでしたが全然楽しめる範囲の誤差と言ったところですね。
