✈️ **Dump1090 for Android** is a powerful real-time ADS-B decoder
and aircraft tracker. It turns your Android device into a
professional-grade flight receiver decoding live data directly from
the air using an RTL-SDR dongle.
**NEW VERSION 2.0 (2026)**
The latest update brings a completely redesigned Material 3 interface optimized performance and advanced features for aviation enthusiasts.
📡 **REAL-TIME ADS-B DECODING**
Unlike other flight trackers that rely on web-based data Dump1090 decodes signals locally.
- Receive live ADS-B messages (1090 MHz).
- View nearby aircraft on an interactive Google Map.
- High-performance updates: Track altitude speed heading and squawk codes in real time.
📍 **ADVANCED VISUALIZATION**
- **Flight Trails**: See the recent path of any aircraft with breadcrumb trails.
- **Detailed Aircraft Info**: Access comprehensive metadata including manufacturer model and registration.
- **Aircraft Photos**: Visual identification via integration with Planespotters.net.
- **Tablet Optimized**: A dedicated landscape panel for large screens provides a rich multi-pane experience.
🎯 **PRO-GRADE SDR FEATURES**
Take full control of your receiver with configurable settings:
- **Tuner Gain & PPM Correction**: Optimize reception for your specific antenna and environment.
- **Bias-T Support**: Power active antennas directly from the SDR (compatible hardware required).
- **Data Exporting**: Stream decoded data to other apps or PCs in Beast AVR or BaseStation formats.
🛠 **HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS**
To use this app you will need:
1. A compatible **RTL-SDR USB dongle** (e.g. RTL-SDR Blog V3/V4).
2. An **OTG cable** to connect the SDR to your Android device.
3. The **rtl_tcp_andro** driver (available for free on the Play Store).
⚠️ **DISCLAIMER**
This application is intended for informational and hobbyist purposes only. It must NOT be used for aircraft navigation flight safety or operational decision-making. Ensure that SDR usage is permitted in your region before use.
🔒 **PERMISSIONS**
- **Location**: Used for calculating your distance from aircraft and centering the map.
- **Internet**: Used for map tiles aircraft metadata and Planespotters photos.
- **Notifications**: Keeps the decoder running in the background during active data exports.
