### 3/5 — Moonshot??? Really?!

*2020-09-19, version 1.0.3*

You couldn’t come up with a better name than ‘Moonshot’? You’ve got to be trolling. Out of more than a quarter of a million words in the English language from which to choose, you thought the best word for an app that focuses on a president who was assassinated by being shot in the head was ‘Moonshot’...?

### 2/5 — Cluttered, confusing

*2020-05-09, version 1.0.3*

Really hard to navigate on a phone screen, and the amount of information and text is overwhelming. 

The 3D style interface for finding and playing video and audio clips just isn’t a good fit to the material. 

Designers should use 3D where it adds value, but keep things simple and easy to navigate otherwise.

### 2/5 — Sound

*2020-04-17, version 1.0.3*

No sound?

### 4/5 — Really cool.

*2020-04-14, version 1.0.3*

Hi, this was a lovely way to interact with audio and video from the mission. Thank you for creating this cute little app.

### 2/5 — No Sound?

*2019-12-24, version 1.0.3*

The app looks great but can’t get sound (or vibration) to work. I checked settings in app and everything is set to max. My iPad volume is also set to max. Not sure what’s going on—I’d really like to experience the full effect.

### 3/5 — Camera access?

*2019-10-08, version 1.0.3*

Worked great on my iPhone X with ios12; now it won’t let me activate my camera to play AR games on my iPhone 11 pro with ios13.1.2

### 4/5 — A few things

*2019-07-22, version 1.0.3*

This App is amazing but I think there are a few things to be added. In track after you land on the moon to be able to play the moon walk but in greater detail and in real time. For example the Apollo 11 movie where it showed never before seen footage and it sowed Niel Armstrong on the moon and it was 20 or so minutes before Buzz Aldrin came down. And also the journey home and the ability to control the the decent to Earth.

### 4/5 — My app does not make any sound？

*2019-07-21, version 1.0.3*

Am I the only one who cannot hear any sound in this app?

### 4/5 — Awesome 3D viewing !

*2019-07-17, version 1.0.3*

Fun App. Thank you. This brings back a lot of memorys of that day. I got to visit the launch pad years later. My Uncle work at NASA.  I’m able to take a screen shot, but trying to capture video, the app crashes.  To bad. I hope there is an update fix.

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2019-07-16, version 1.0.3*

I love the AR features and enjoyed watching the rocket take off in my room 😊.  Good educational tool for those interested in this important period of history and a good remembrance for those who experienced it back in the day while it was happening.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2019-07-16, version 1.0.3*

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me give it access to camera

*2024-10-19, version 1.0.3*

It’s so bad

### 1/5 — Updated! No camera access

*2024-07-29, version 1.0.3*

My four-year-old grandson loves this app. We opened it, it updated. Now it doesn’t work! It says it needs access to the camera, go to settings, there’s no place to give permission for camera. you ruined a perfectly working app. Fix it! My grandson is very upset.

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2020-02-18, version 1.0.3*

Lies

### 1/5 — Jfk moonshot

*2019-12-25, version 1.0.3*

Doesn’t work on iPhone 11 Pro Max. Your dev team needs to ask for permissions re camera access - and you aren’t.

### 1/5 — It Doesn’t Work on iPad Pro

*2019-07-30, version 1.0.3*

It Doesn’t Work on iPad Pro

### 1/5 — Might be awesome if...

*2019-07-21, version 1.0.3*

This app has the potential to be awesome, but only if it would work in anything other than open football field. I’m constantly being asked to scan an open flat area, even though I’m in my half acre backyard. I don’t understand what the developers thought they needed to render a log of the Apollo mission, but I spent far more time trying to get this app to recognize the environment that actually appreciating what it had to offer.

### 1/5 — Unusable.

*2019-07-17, version 1.0.3*

I could nor find a surface that the app considered appropriate for a launch, so I could not use it. I have no idea what it requires. Maybe you need a yard. I have an apartment, so I am SOL.

### 1/5 — JFK

*2019-07-17, version 1.0.3*

Great concept but keeps crashing.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2019-07-16, version 1.0.3*

App crashed T + 0.00.05 while I was using it to video launch. Sad. Didn’t save video either.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2019-06-20, version 1.0*

Nice idea, but it just kept “scanning” with no option to go further and very little explanation.  Disappointed

### 5/5 — I thought it was Unreal Engine 4 example project.

*2020-02-28, version 1.0.3*

Great job..!

### 5/5 — YAYYY!

*2020-02-04, version 1.0.3*

I is smart now..

### 5/5 — Appollo is mankind’s greatest achievement in history!

*2020-01-02, version 1.0.3*

We need to go further into this exploration and travel to Mars and out of our solar system! It needs to be a continuously expanding program as time goes by! There are other earths out there, in other solar systems, not to mention, in other galaxies! We are not alone, just because we don’t know of them, yet! Exploring is man’s greatest gift! Let us not be content to stay here, because one day something will destroy earth! Let mankind explore everything everywhere!

### 5/5 — Very nicely done

*2019-11-22*

With videos, photos and the timeline of the journey

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2019-07-28, version 1.0.3*

It’s a great use of AR technology, which makes me feel that I am indeed in that situation. Thanks to the developers who made this and wish that your team can make more projects like this.

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2019-07-18, version 1.0.3*

What an amazing app! I’m reliving this incredible journey to the moon on my phone!

### 5/5 — What a treat!

*2019-07-17, version 1.0.3*

This is a little piece of magic. An extraordinary way to remember Apollo 11 and to wow your friends.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2019-07-16, version 1.0.3*

Great work guys, have shared !

### 5/5 — Bravo

*2019-07-16, version 1.0.3*

Thank you JFK library, what a great way to learn and relive history. I could feel the excitement building day by day and you did not disappoint. Spectacular graphics pre and at launch, I'm looking forward to following the complete mission.
