The feed used by this app from vatsim has been shut down.

Are you planning to update to using the new feed or has this project been abandoned?

Yea, I agree with the other comments. Vatscan has been a great app for following other aircraft and ATC. I hope you can find another feed to continue providing this great app 😊

There is no need to "find" a new feed. There is still a feed direct from vatsim, they just retired an old feed after the new feed went live months ago.

However, I suspect the app project has been abandoned with little chance of being updated.

The new feed is below if it helps: https://data.vatsim.net/v3/vatsim-data.json

Do you know how we can get it back up and running? If you do please can you share?

The app needs updating to use the new feed which should be relatively trivial.

The hard bit is recompiling the app and adding the update to Google play, which only the original developer can do.

In short, as a user there is nothing we can do

Mmm. From what I can see, sadly not too helpful. This just seems to be one massive amount of data without a positive link.... Can you clarify?

The last feed was just a page of data too, the magic sauce of the apps is converting this data into something useful. As I said in my previous comment, updating the app to use the new is pretty straight forward, but not something you or I as end users can do
