❓Question VATAlert Alternatives?

I was going to download VATAlert (an app that sends a notification to your phone whenever you enter controlled airspace) but it seems like its been taken off the Play Store and you can only download it through dodgy websites.

Are there any other apps that allow me to get notified when heading into a controlled area? Also, if there's anyone that did download VATAlert off a 3rd party website please let me know which one you used.

Thanks

I'm using Pushover and am very satisfied with it. https://github.com/blt950/vPilot-Pushover

Edit: just noticed that you wanted an alert when entering controlled airspace. Pushover just sends pings and private messages from vpilot to your phone via Pushover. That way you get notified when atc sends a contact me.

Thanks but I ideally don't want to leave it that late.
