Squawk is an app that turn your iPhone into an educational aeronautical transponder.
Squawk (from the parrot verso) is the way to ask a pilot to insert a specific code on the transponder.
The transponder is an electronic device capable of receiving radio signals from the ground radar and to respond in turn with a radio signal appropriately coded in order to provide specific information.
iSquawk, acquire all the flight informations by its own sensor (gps and accelerometer) and sent them using the telephon data connections (please check your Mobile Internet plan) to a ground server.
