The ATC app really surprised me in a good way. This is much better than looking at a map with random dots on it. I like that I can listen to live ATC and track the aircraft movements. I can also see what is happening in real time! The ATC app is very interesting especially if you like aviation or flight simming.The app interface is really good. Everything is easy to find. It does not look messy. The map is nice to look at. It is easy to understand. You do not feel confused when there is a lot of information on the screen. The aviation app seems like it was made by people who know a lot about aviation, not people who are making something that looks nice. The aviation app is very user friendly! That is what makes it so good.I also want to give a thank you to Eric. The help he provided and how quickly he responded really stood out to me. It is not often that you see someone who is behind an app and they actually listen to what you have to say and answer your questions and they care about what the users think.Overall, this app is by far one of the best I have ever used, and seen. I have used others.. I won’t name names, but they aren’t as good as this app. I am super excited to see the future of this app, and how the developers will add more and more features, and maybe even some new airports. But for now, it’s best to just focus on building up from what there is.
Cool concept, but can’t justify the price.

This app is a pretty cool concept, I really like how the Home Screen has highlights and you can find interesting events. However that being said, when you are starting up the app, you are forced to go through a very long and annoying intro. There needs to be a way to bypass it if you don’t want to waste time and figure it out yourself. Also, the pricing model on this is very predatory. $90 a year or $7 a week. There needs to be a middle ground, and even then this is a lot. Yes I know there is a free trial. That’s how I have been trying it out, but unfortunately I don’t see myself paying for this. If you’re gonna be charging that much money, this app needs to have the functionality of ADS-B exchange and Flight Radar built in. Airport pins on the map, arrival and departure boards, all that stuff. Not just the explore mode where you move around a map with limited functions. Oh and one more thing. It’s not cool to keep playing the radio communications in the background after you return to the Home Screen on your phone. There needs to be an option to disable that feature added. All in all. This is the right idea, it’s a cool concept, I really hope this can gain some more functionality in the future and be a one stop shop for aviation. Because Flight Radar 24 has literally gone down the drain. You have a great opportunity to capitalize it!
Cool app, just one thing

As a ramp agent, I frequently deal with various types of situations that affect ramp ops, and I've always been curious to get a behind the scenes look at what the pilots are communicating about with ATC. That's when I installed ATC. The moment I opened this app, I was amazed at such attention to detail the developers brought out such as the animations and the playback feature, which I really enjoy as I'll be able to know what went wrong with a particular flight.One thing though that I would recommend is in the next update or sometime in the future, I would really want you guys to add San Diego International Airport. Since I work ramp there, having access to my home airport would make this app a 5 star experience. I've already requested it through the app, but I'd love to finally see SAN throughout the app. Otherwise keep it up!
Developer Response
San Diego is added!
A bit expensive
PilotboyMelvin
While I understand people have to make their money especially making back the initial investment made to create the app, I believe since the Pilot community already has to deal with everything being so expensive I believe the app should be a bit cheaper. There are many great apps out there with many users that only cost $20-$30 a year(and started that way). I believe if this app was a bit cheaper around that price range I actually believe you guys would meet your financial requirements as well as customer loyalty and engagement. I hope my review can help take it into consideration but overall I give five stars because it is a great app. Have a great day.
