I built a Stratux and used it with Foreflight. Honestly, the reliability wasn't great. The dump1090 process would randomly disconnect, generating nuisance alarms from my tablet - usually in busy airspace. It also had trouble picking up some ground stations.

I switched to a Garmin GDL-52 instead. Reliability has since been rock solid. Received signal strength from ground stations are an order of magnitude better.
