Almost like being there
We really enjoyed this experience!
Why abandon this app?
Hello, developers so I loved this app for alerts on rocket launches but I few years ago the app stopped working and not giving me any more alerts it just kept saying “launches coming soon” and still to this day it’s like that and this app haven’t been updated 1y ago why did you guys abandon this very good app? I hope the developers will come back for more updates and fixes but for now I can’t really use this app 😢

Nicely done
Well done and great use of AR on the Falcon 9 demonstration. One suggestion: finish a segment and queue the others if one touches multiple points. As there is no was to go backwards.
That was awesome
Just watched my first live launch in AR...and I am impressed. Yes the timing is a little off (~2-5 secs) and the graphics could be improved but this is one of the best examples of the potential of AR. I just watched a rocket launch into space in my living room on a handheld computer...could you have ever guessed you would be able to do that 10 years ago. Magic.

Really cool!
As a child of the 60’s & early 70’s, I grew up with Mercury and Apollo. If this app and related technologies had existed and were widely distributed in schools, there is no way to know how far along we would be in our exploration of space. I believe we would be much farther than we are now.
This is amazing
This app is the reason I am going to school to become an aerospace engineer. Thank you to the team who put this together. It’s inspired me to shoot for the stars and do great things.
Awesome!
I love this kind of stuff, I’ve been interested in the space program for a year now and I have learned a lot more from this app than I already knew. I love this app so much that I just keep doing the AR launch over and over again. So developers, if you are even reading this, please make an app like this for the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo program, it would be really cool!

Fun app but I had the wrong surface
Very cool but I had a hard time figuring out how high to hold the camera from the horizontal surface. I suggest if you are short using something shorter than a kitchen table. Make sure you have about a 2’ square surface.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Inspiring SCIENCE on your desk or living room table!
Wow!!!.. I eagerly await a version that runs on Apple optical input tech (Glasses, visor, contacts...) or something similar! Who knows what I would be doing now if I had this available in school? Mind blown in the best way! One step closer to a multi-plantery species ! It’s like a livid dream. 🚀
Solid learning tool
I am impressed with the quality of the AR experience. I look forward to sharing it with thousands of students!!!
Good
While this goes through virtual building and launch sequences, the depiction is small and the graphics are not very realistic. I will use it to teach my grandson about space and lunch vehicles but I’m hoping for improvements in later updates. Still good but I’m expecting more in the future.
Extremely Informative and Exciting
This app will be a hit with the entire family. I can hardly wait until I can watch a real launch in AR as it happens roughly 70 miles from my home. I will use this app again and again and will share it with others that are curious as to just how a Space X rocket actually operates throughout a launch in AR. Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative and entertaining app.

Need a fix
It might just be my phone, but when I try to make my own spaceship, the screen turns black. Also there is no options to allow camera in app.
Scan surface problems
Scanning surface to set up didn’t always cooperate...so images were way too large or not in a good position. Once got it to play nice, it was a neat experience for our family.
Good fun and informative.
While not a prefect app...it is pretty cool living on the Space Coast and be able to pull out the app and know exactly where to look for a launch regardless of where you are.
App didn’t ask for access to my camera, so App doesn’t work
Very frustrating even for a free app. It’s a simple app. For a simulated launch, the user points the phone’s camera at a flat surface and on the phone’s screen, the user can view a launch as if the rocket is taking off from the flat surface at which the camera is pointed. However, the app never asked for permission to access my phone’s camera so all I see is a blue screen, instead of the flat surface at which my camera is pointed. Oh, well. It seems to be a rather gimmicky app anyway. I don’t know why it works for other people.

Good but could use some improvements
This is a really neat concept, especially for people like me who have 150+ apps on their iPhone, but I found it to be lacking in certain areas, particularly for the fact that it’s not very intuitive. I found it to be a bit convoluted and even a bit confusing. There’s just too much going on, and the interface seems to defy conventional design practices to the point of being a bit obnoxious.

Does nothing for me
Not clear exactly what this app is supposed to do; I hoped it would allow me to watch video of SpaceX launches, but the “instructions” are rather vague—frankly, I haven’t gotten it to display anything remotely of interest; no video, no still photos, no nothing. Only good thing about it: it was free, so when I delete it I won’t have lost anything.

Very awesome!
Although it’s an innovative application, I wish there was a way to not have to leave the app just to connect to Florida Now’s website. Importing the schedules and other information such as an RSS feed could greatly improve it. It would also be amazing if there were a way to view past launches in AR (sadly, yes, even the Challenger incident) with the recorded audio feed from Mission Control. This is a huge opportunity to go all out and put science in the hands of millions where it should be :)

Great app; the augmented reality is an excellent touch.
If you haven’t tried augmented reality, download this and follow long as you have a simulated rocket takeoff from your kitchen table or some other flat surface in your home.
