FeederRank Support

Email [email protected]. A human reads it. Include your iOS version and which aggregator card is misbehaving; never include payment details. Your receiver UUID is safe to share (it's the same public ID your feed client already broadcasts), but you can redact all but the first 8 characters and we can still help.

Getting started

FeederRank shows your ADS-B feeder the way the aggregators see it.

  1. No feeder yet? Demo mode replays real captured API responses through the whole app, clearly badged, so you can explore first.
  2. Find your receiver UUID: it's the identifier your feed client uses (feed.uuid / adsbexchange-uuid on most images, or your readsb/ultrafeeder env). It looks like d5ee74ba-c16e-43ad-9b44-c00cc6edf2c8.
  3. Paste it into Settings > Feeders and enable the aggregators you feed.
  4. Optionally point the local receiver panel at your readsb/tar1090 box on your home network.

Frequently asked

My feeder shows ONLINE on airplanes.live and adsb.fi but "away from home" on adsb.lol. Bug?

No. adsb.lol's public lookup is IP-based: your phone must be on the same public IP as your feeder (your home network) for adsb.lol stats to appear. On cellular or away from home, the other aggregators still work.

Why does the airplanes.live card have no score ring?

The FeederRank Score compares your feeder to a network average, and airplanes.live publishes no public network-wide stats to average against. Rather than invent a number, that card shows your raw stats only.

Is the score my official rank?

No, and the app says so everywhere it appears: it's an estimated standing vs. the network average, computed from public counts. Aggregators do not publish official ranks.

The dashboard says my feeder is offline but it's running.

The aggregators report what reaches them. Check your feed client's own status page first (e.g. tar1090 / graphs1090), then the aggregator's stats page for your UUID. If the aggregator's own page disagrees with FeederRank, that's our bug: email us.

Why don't stats update in the background?

Version 1.0 polls only while the app is open (every 60 seconds), and offline alerts are checked while the app runs. Background refresh and live widget data are planned.

What does Pro cost and what do I get?

Pro is a one-time $6.99 purchase, never a subscription. It unlocks multiple feeders, all aggregators side by side (Compare), 12-hour history charts, offline alerts, and the widget. The free tier keeps full live stats for 1 feeder on 1 aggregator, forever.

I bought Pro on my old phone.

Settings > Unlock Pro > Restore purchases (same Apple Account).

Can you add FlightAware / FR24 / RadarBox / ADSBexchange?

We only integrate aggregators with public, no-login stats APIs, politely. Tell us which one you want; operator demand decides the roadmap.

Privacy?

The app collects nothing. See the privacy policy.
