LiveATC iPhone App Now Available
« on: June 09, 2009, 04:41:02 PM »
I am pleased to announce that the Version 1.0 of the LiveATC iPhone App is now available from the Apple App Store. 

Click this icon to purchase:



More features to come in subsequent versions, but LiveATC is pleased to make this available to iPhone and iPod Touch users. 

Plans are currently underway for a Blackberry app - stay tuned.

Great job on getting this app out. Works much better than fstream.  One comment. The feed under NY for Rochester is the Minesota stream. Should be KROC not KRST.  Thanks again Dave.

Yes, you are the second user to find that.  And our first bug...which we are working on fixing.  :-)

Just bought the app too.. Very nice and smooth! I changed to several feeds and they start up fast. I also like the favorites feature!

Thanks for feeding my addiction on the run :)

Glad you enjoy it...it is definitely a 1.0 release.  We'll be fixing any bugs that crop up and adding new features as we go.

Dave, great start on the app! It's organized very well.

Few issues I noticed...
KCSG is listed under Ohio but is actually in Georgia (Columbus, GA, not Columbus, OH)
KCMH (Columbus, OH) is missing under Ohio.  I couldn't find it anywhere in the app.
KOSU (Ohio State Airport) is also missing under Ohio.  Also couldn't find it anywhere in the app.

OK, thanks.  We know where the issue is, and it will require a bug fix release.  Stay tuned and sorry for the hassle.

Great app, and just in time for the new VNY feed, which is my home airport. I'm a happy liveatc fan :)

The app is not really meant to compete with FStream, since FStream is a general purpose tuner.  Those serve a great purpose, but this app is designed to integrate tightly with the web site and make it easier to access the LiveATC feeds on the go.

Couple things: Firstly where can one find the HF feeds? I'm not finding them. Secondly the graphic for the buffering icon has a sort of "specular highlight" effect on it to give a 3d look. The problem is when it's loading the graphic rotates and the specular highlight rotates with it which isn't realistic. Minor I know, but perhaps it could be fixed when someone gets the time.

Nice app, great work.

I'm not a coder meself, but is it a difficult to program it so that if there's an incoming call that can be received? Goes right onto voicemail now innit?

Again, keep it up.

We only have two HF feeds at the moment...it's a long story, and they will be more prominent in a future release, but for now you will find them under Boston, MA and Napa, CA.

Thanks for the feedback on the icon - we'll look into that.

After a good play with the app, i'm liking it!
But just a thing i noticed, when you play a feed and press any of the buttons (home, countries etc) the feed stops playing. It'll be great if it'll continue running whilst browsing through the list of other freqs.

Zulu and a Local time would be awesome too, as would the weather. But I imagine you've got these covered in the plans for future updates.

Awesome job. Keep it up!

Hi Dave!

 Thanks for the app. I would usually use Pocket Tunes but this is much easier. Works well when I am out working on the AOA in OAK. Will this app be able to be used with the push notification when 3.0 comes out next week so I can still check work emails and listen at the same time? Once again thanks for the app.....
