In short
LiveATC for Android is a star app for Android created by LiveATC. It can be recommended to student pilots and students. And this is a perfect way to listen to pilots.
Highlights
Five star app except for the user interface
Being able to listen to the pilots live
Very useful app for student pilots and other aviation enthuasist
It's a great tool to monitor traffic
The only drawback is that APA tower
Great for plane spotting or anyone interested in aviation
Great receiver locations enable both conversations
I also use it as a great learning tool
Love to hear ATC and pilots
And the choice of ATC listening is excellent
It's unintuitive and clunky to use because of that
Not convenient or kind to have it on always
Unless quick response I will ask for refund
Really needs a button to stop the app when not in use
There is no continuous stream from ATC

Explanation of some of the needed device permissions: • The "Location"permission is required so that the app can determine what airports are located in your area when you select "Nearby"• The "Device ID & Call Information"permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you're placing or receiving a phone call so that it can automatically stop the audio stream to prevent it from interfering with your phone call *** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** Please check to see if your country, city and/or airports of interest are covered by LiveATC *BEFORE PURCHASING* - check at: http://liveatc.net . Note that we currently have no coverage in the U.K., Belgium, Germany, Iceland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and some other countries where streaming ATC communications is prohibited by local law. Available airports are subject to change at any time - LiveATC owns and operates many of the receivers used in the network but most are provided by volunteers working in cooperation with LiveATC. Available airports can change, sometimes due to reasons beyond LiveATC's control. Also, there is no guarantee that all feeds will be up 24/7, though we make our best effort to do so and have a great track record of uptime.
