Good but seems abandoned now?

I’ve enjoyed this app for a few years now, but it feels abandoned by the developer now? No updates in a year. I am a paid for no ads user, but I feel like this has been neglected now. Notifications are quite sporadic, consistently not delivered nowadays!

Let the Countdown commence

Grateful to be as close to the launches as I do. Excited to track and see how the app notifies me of the upcoming details of launch day. Thank you for making such a simple and easy to use app in anticipation of our country aerospace aviation commencement. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, We have Lift Off! Hope to see of my relative want to watch and track the flights through the app as well!

Broken notification filters

Love the app but unfortunately the notticstion filters just don’t work. As others have mentioned, the grey/dark grey color pallete for on/off switches is very confusing, but even once you get them correct you still receive notifications for launches you didn’t select. Reading past reviews it doesn’t seem like this is a new issue.

3 stars because I still use it even though that feature is broken totally.

Would be five stars except for one thing settings, don’t hold

I love this app and I applaud the developers, but even after paying for the app to remove ads, my settings never hold and they do not work. I checked the settings so that I would only be notified of launches at Cape Canaveral because I live in Florida. And no matter how many times I redo the settings, they do not hold. It comes back with launches all over the world and all kinds of different rocket companies many of which I do not want to know about. Please fix the filtering mechanism so it works. Other than that I would give it five stars.

Reliable?

I have not tried any other apps. This one has some glitches, but I’ve enjoyed using it. Problem one: when you click on Explore to see the launch time, you can’t get back to the general launch countdown screen without closing the app entirely and reentering it. Problem 2: Sometimes the launch countdown resets itself and doesn’t tell us if the launch went off. It might be a delay, but it’s not clear. Problem 3: I have it set to alert me to a launch, but much of the time the alert comes AFTER the launch. Problem 4: I have it set to American location launches, but it shows me also New Zealand and other areas I can’t ever see. I wish these problems were corrected. It is exciting to see the rockets in the sky. It is worth the experience to try this app.

Great app, even if it doesn't exactly work.

The settings page clearly states "you will only receive notifications for launches matching both agency and location.." yet I'm constantly seeing the SpaceX launches at Vandenburg even though that's not a selected location. Seems elementary, bug-wise, but I suppose I'd rather it err to show MORE data than less. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Count down time different

When a launch time has changed. The count down time for the launch is different from the count down time when you click on the launch and get more of the launch details. This is frustrating and the two countdowns need to be synced.
Case in point Starlink group 6-64 scheduled to launch at 10:11 pm on 5/31 was changed to 10:37 pm but the count down clock inside the details still had the old time and the count down for the general launch notice was the new countdown time.

Love this app

This app is great for schedule launches it’s a must have

Used to be the best

This used to be the best app. It would alert me of every lunch worldwide. All of them. China, India, Space X, everything. It would tell me what the mission was for each flight and the country It was leaving from and link the video footage if there was any . And now it just is a bunch of garbled mess that looks like click bait and inaccurate information. It links fake news. I’m really bummed out. This was the best app I ever had. I cannot seem to find another app that alerts you to every rocket worldwide. I hope this could recover and go back to its old ways. I would totally pay for the app if so. I miss it.
