ADS-B Flight Scanner

Use an external antenna to receive and see ADS-B aircraft positions

Do you have an Android device that you would like to put to use? You can now set up and run your own mobile ADS-B ground station that can be used anywhere and receive real-time data directly from airplanes on your Android device.

It receives ADS-B data directly from airplane transponders via a small antenna connected to your Android device. This app then makes the real-time data available to view on your Android's screen, or optionally to any user on your local network if they point their web browser to your Android device's IP address.

Your mobile ADS-B station can run this Android app to track flights within 50-300 miles (line of sight, range depending on antenna).

This app was formerly known as the FlightAware FlightFeeder for Android, however has been renamed to simply ADS-B Flight Scanner and released as Open Source. Additionally, the functionality to upload data to FlightAware servers has unfortunately had to be removed.

Do not download or rate this app unless you have the necessary receiver hardware, since this app has no functionality without the ability to capture data.

ADS-B Flight Scanner requires you to purchase an ADS-B (DVB-T) Receiver USB Dongle with Antenna, and a USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable compatible with your Android device.
