◆◆◆ Requires an ADS-B Receiver - see info below ◆◆◆

ADS-B Radar lives on your menu bar, at a glance you know how many aircraft are currently within reception range of your ADS-B receiver.

ADS-B Radar uses the JSON information provided by dump1090 and/or Jetvision's Radarcape/Air!Squitter.

Open the map to view all aircraft and ADS-B flight statistics such as callsign, speed, squawk, vertical speed, category, track, distance, country of registration, etc.

The route is visible on the map, blue represents level flight, while green, orange and red represent an increasing/decreasing vertical rate of speed.

Configure local notifications based on callsigns, icao codes, countries, registration, aircraft category, squawks, altitude, vertical rate, speed, distance and number of aircraft within reception range. 

Re-post each notification with aircraft flight data in JSON to a web server for further processing. This will allow you to convert it to an email, tweet, log to a database, etc.

A search bar will quickly identify the aircraft on the map based on a search for callsign, icao code, country, registration or category.

Switch to fullscreen for a better view and uninterrupted radar mode.

Should the ADS-B signal contain the aircraft category, 14 different aircraft icons are available ranging from light to heavy, a glider, a helicopter, a drone or an airport vehicle.

With the share button you can easily share a snapshot of the map with aircraft and flight data.

Log all aircraft to a local SQLite database to provide your own historic flight information and plot old flight paths on the map.

Launch an image search for the aircraft with a built-in mini browser, with fully configurable search URL to point to your favourite source.

Add multiple ADS-B stations to expand your coverage.

◆◆◆ Requirements ◆◆◆

Your own ADS-B hardware radio receiver.

Either a RTL-SDR USB dongle using dump1090 or Jetvision's Radarcape/Air!Squitter receiver. 

A Raspberry Pi with a RTL-SDR USB dongle running dump1090 is one of the most popular solutions. Search the internet for ready to buy or DIY ADS-B hardware solutions.

This app uses the information received over ADS-B radio and presented in a JSON file by dump1090 and/or the Radarcape/Air!Squitter.

This app does not rely on a built-in or online database with aircraft information, it works completely autonomous and private.

This app is free from ads, requires no subscriptions, no sign-up, no API registration, no in-app purchases and respects your privacy.

Please provide feedback for feature requests, improvements and bug fixes.
