Not in Indianapolis

I just paid to install this app and then it shows all Indianapolis feeds are down. How do I get a refund?

The app is great.
The LiveATC.net website has links for “interesting recordings” and
“ATC audio archives”.
Can you guys add these two links to the app?
Thanks
This app is goated!

This app is a one time payment for a lifetime of being able to listen to real ATC calls as they happens. I am studying for my PPL and this ha gone a long way prepping for ATC calls. Wish I could support the dev more.

Even though this is a free app, I feel we should have better audio quality from the major airports. I think JFK LaGuardia Newark have excellent audio and sees, but I live in the Bay Area in SFO. Tower quality is poor. Is there someway that can be improved as a major airport in LAX sounds better than SFO what’s going on here in the Bay Area.

Used to be a great app. Now it has bugs. Doesn’t play when locked. So I downloaded a different one.
Not worth the pay for app

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
It’s OK when it works

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

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.
Great App - Easier than Web

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.
