Stratus3 ADSB Switcher app

[Andrew Sarangan]

It's been a while since I updated this app. I originally had it on Google Play, but they closed my account, so the app has been gone for some time. I recently updated and recompiled it for newer android platforms, and put it on Github instead. 

The app is useful for switching the Stratus3 ADSB receiver from the Foreflight proprietary mode to GDL90 Garmin mode (which is open and public). You should be able to download the apk and install it directly.

For security reasons, I strongly recommend to never install any APKs directly on your Android device. Always use the Google Play Store.

I am not saying this app is malicious, but installing APKs directly is often used to get malware distributed. Be careful.

[Andrew Sarangan]

In general, yes, one should avoid installing apk's from unknown sources, but if the source code is open and you can see what's in it. You can also recompile it yourself and check it out. 

Google Play Store is not friendly to those not actively pushing out apps every few months.

Yup, and I installed it and immediately solved my problem so that the other owners of my plane can continue to use their Foreflight app without mods.

Thanks Andrew!  Great app!
