Use this app to provide live ADSB data to Avare! All data received (traffic, Nexrad weather and standard reports like METAR, TAF, PIREP, WINDS, ...) will be made available automatically, once Avare has been detected. (Make sure to enable "Use ADSB Weather" in Avare.) Download Avare here, it's free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ds.avare

You can also forward the data to most GDL90 compatible apps like iFlyGPS, FltPlanGo, DroidEFB, ...
