✓ Works as advertisedThe app does work, but requires some tweaking/experimenting with the microphone and speaker placement, signal/antenna. Pretty good app, would like to see an update though. I copied signals from two different radios, an Icom ICR6 Communications Receiver and an XHDATA D808 portable shortwave radio . Both performed reasonably well tuned to 130.551 mHz Air band (AM)..Jsend67900!!Version: 1.4

✓ Does what it says!Installed and placed near the speaker on my scanner. Within a few moments acars decodes appeared. A few issues with errors which were resolved with volume control adjustments..The big green birdVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Works better than most ACARS decodersI’ve tried other ACARS decoding software and have been disappointed, but this app worked reasonably well. My only wish would be for it to work in the background. I’ve already had $3 worth of fun with it....RV7builderVersion: 1.3

✓ AmateurI have used top notch ham decoding apps and bad ones. I'm current iOS and this app works beautifully even unsquelched. This is my first time playing with this mode and this app let me confirm some very useful info. Even jumbled garbage tells you something. I had a minor career in comma and I am going to rate this a 5 because it works off the air( no cable), you have virtually unlimited number of folders. An improvement would be to have a bigger buffer per file but hey, it was worth it's weight In gold to ME, others not wanting specific data or range extrapolation might not rate it as high. All in all, if I wanted to follow say a friends aircraft using a minimal outside antenna for about 250 miles with just a used scanner and iOS device can have an easy relatively advanced system incorporating this quick down and cool app. I'm not into iOS, computers or apps and have no idea who or how this was written so take my 5 stars for what it's worth and who wrote it. A forever novice to iOS and apps!.Drone hunterVersion: 1.3

✓ Perfect.Excellent App, using it on iPad 2 and works great with just a standard VHF handheld scanner positioned beside the microphone. To the developer just one suggestion, if you could please update it so that the decoder can run in the background while other apps are being used. Many Thanks..Kalav0Version: 1.2

✓ Works perfectlyI have verified (iPhone 4/IOS 6) that this app works in both audio (scanner next to phone) and direct-connect (using home-made adapter) modes. If you are handy with electronics, build the adapter - it works better (there's a link to the plans in the description); if you're not, there are some commercial versions now available (google "iphone microphone adapter"). Obviously you need a scanner or other aircraft radio to receive signals in the first place. Nicely done app!.Alleycat0Version: 1.2.2

✓ Some issues with new ios9.0.2Lots decoding errors displayed after upgrading to iOS 9.0.2. Hope you guys are working on fixing this..CJK5143Version: 1.3
