I tried opening it recently Al all it does is crash. When it does load it shows nothing. Disappointed ### 2/5 — Crashes *2024-05-27, version 8.2* App is nice to use when it’s working. But it keeps crashing anytime I try press any button in the app. If the app didn’t crash all the time I’d give it 5 stars. ### 2/5 — App not working!!! *2023-11-10, version 8.2* App doesn’t show upcoming launches or connect to the satellite! ### 1/5 — Recent anomaly *2023-10-14, version 8.2* Since the last software update Launch console has failed to list upcoming launches on my Iphone SE so it lists no countdown time for the next launch and fails to list any ofther launches when trying to scroll, version 16.2 been using launch console for years my number one source for launch schedules and has worked 100% 100% of the time just since 01/16/2023 has this problem occurred.Was a great app while it lasted!Please fix.I miss launch console it loads but no mission details at all if you tap it crashes please fix ### 1/5 — Pathetic Application *2023-08-07, version 8.2* This app lacks so much. The clock never updates correctly. When launches are delayed or scrubbed the clock doesn’t update. There is no time listed, just a countdown, which of course is not correct. Why bother putting up an app that is so pathetic? ### 1/5 — Terrible design app *2023-06-04, version 8.2* I actually live 20 miles to cape Canaveral and have missed launch’s do to this pitiful app. Today June 6 I here the launch after and miss visibly seeing. Plus app is poorly designed to use. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2023-05-24, version 8.2* First off it showed the instructions really quick after I loaded it no way you can remember all of that. I have no idea how to work the Compass I don’t like the countdown style. It should tell the time as well as the countdown every time there’s a launch I don’t want to sit there and do the math to figure out exactly what time that is I can’t add it to my calendar so I have a reminder which is a must for me, if this was put together better, I live close enough to go and see the Rockets and was hoping this would give me better information since SpaceX never updates their website that I would know when I launch was coming and what time to leave my house to make it. Is this purposely done so tourist don’t come over to your city? I think they could take a little bit of the space-age looking stuff and make this so much better instead of worrying about graphics ### 2/5 — Interface *2023-05-02, version 8.2* What a horrible interface. This looks like the result of gamers in dark rooms behind walls trying to develop something useful. Can’t even read the text. Medium blue on black, no contrast. Test it in normal light and you will see how ridiculous it looks. ### 1/5 — Developers dgaf 🙂 *2023-03-17, version 8.2* This app gave me a hope for the fist few months of using but now I’ve been looking forward to get a notification about the launch at least a minute before but I got it 21 minutes after, couple minutes before landing the 1st stage. I don’t need this app on my device anymore. I’m really disappointed. +latest updates were couple years ago so I guess it makes no sense anymore. Easier to set the YT live notifications. ### 2/5 — Way too much fluff *2023-02-05, version 8.2* I need launch info. Not a special effects generator. When I realized I got aggravated every time I opened the app from a notification, waiting on fancy stuff, I deleted it. ### 2/5 — Read the review from justsomeguy *2023-01-05, version 8.2* Just read the 2 year old review from justsomeguy and you realize that this app was thrown together (it looks very futuristic) in that it is scientific looking but functions like a disassembled Lego set. It’s way past time to get this app to function with my calendar, get the data button working and offer a better user experience just like justsomeguy suggested 2 years ago. I will offer 2 stars because it has a lot of potential and looks awesome. ### 2/5 — Almost worthless *2022-11-23, version 8.2* The positive: it gives you the dates of the Launches that’s about it. The negative: do not rely on this to notify you when the launch is about to happen I have yet to get a notification that the launch is about to happen, or as it says “just minutes away““ only to go outside where I can see it from my house to find out it has launched before the notification from this app. ### 1/5 — Downhill quickly *2022-09-11, version 8.2* This app was once quite accurate and timely…..no longer. Too much you tube info and almost like no body cares anymore… gotta say.. bye-bye ### 4/5 — Best app for watching launches *2022-08-29, version 8.2* Yep, it has a few bugs, but it still works and definitely worth the download. No other app can help you find the location in the sky of the launch and the live feed and notifications are great!! ### 1/5 — Mostly useless *2022-08-29, version 8.2* Looks cool, doesn’t work. I tried to watch the Artemis 1 launch today. One part of the app’s countdown said it had launched (-5) while another part said it was about to launch. Truth is it was scrubbed. Obviously not connected to a good data source. ### 1/5 — Fancy graphics don’t substitute for functionality *2022-02-19, version 8.2* Title says it. No real valuable functionality but the wet dream of some graphics guru. Deleted after a couple weeks trying to time a launch viewing. ### 4/5 — Works Great! *2022-01-20, version 8.2* App works great for me! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2026-05-25, version 8.2* Keeps searching for connection, will note load. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-01, version 8.2* I have had this for a while and it suddenly stopped working even after a reinstall. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-04-01, version 8.2* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Used to be great! *2024-11-30, version 8.2* I opened up Launch Console today. It did not give me anything. No data At all. So it no longer Works ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work with latest iOS on iPhone 15 Pro Max *2024-01-01, version 8.2* I have always loved this app, but it doesn’t appear to have been updated in a long time, so it no longer works on the latest iOS. The app crashes every time I try and see any upcoming launches. A shame. ### 1/5 — Not for newer devices *2023-12-29, version 8.2* Doesn’t work on my iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 17.2.1. Seemed to work on much older devices, but newer and it doesn’t connect or just exits unexpectedly. ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-11-29, version 8.2* App worked last spring but not working now. ### 1/5 — Needs updated *2023-11-18, version 8.2* Hasn’t been updated in a couple of years, crashes or doesn’t load properly. ### 1/5 — Launch console abandoned *2023-10-18, version 8.2* Does not work. Outdated. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-10-15, version 8.2* About 3-4 months ago, Launch Consul stopped working . No connection no information, no description of tickets, nothing. This used to be a 5-Star app, now it’s a zero star app as nothing works. Come on team get this fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It's great *2023-08-21, version 8.2* Oh amd I forgot to say if you're to dumb to figure out days and hours and need times listed, then well, maybe you should even bother ### 5/5 — Fantastic Resource *2023-08-16, version 8.2* I look at it every day to check launch updates. Then use it while watching launches from St. Petersburg. The compas is also useful for finding where to look when we are elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Include other launch sites? *2023-08-03, version 8.2* Love this app and when we are near the cape use it a lot. Could other launch sites be included? Here in Va we are near Wallace Island and would love to be able to use this app here. ### 5/5 — I love this app. *2021-03-14, version 8.2* If you are anywhere near central Florida, it tells when & what is launching next into space. The compass give you this direction to look in! ### 5/5 — Thanks for updating the app *2020-11-30, version 8.2* Thank you developers for updating the app I’ve had a problem with this app the main user interface at the home screen of the app was all messed up I mean you couldn’t even tell when a rocket launch was scheduled so thanks for updating the app the problem is so far fixed and I thank you for it I wish you and everybody the best. Sincerely Alex. ### 5/5 — Update *2020-11-15, version 8.1* What happened to this app? It was my favorite to watch the launches but recently, I can't watch the video of the actual launch. And the buttons are missing to navigate through the app. I am very disappointed. I've deleted and downloaded but nothing helps. Please help ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-07-30, version 8.1* I really enjoy using the website and it’s great that there’s an app for the launches now too. I enjoy the countdown feel, and knowing where exactly to look helps to make sure I’m in the best spot when a launch happens. Awesome work and thank you for putting this together! ### 5/5 — Keeps Crashing *2020-06-02* I love this app and have used it for a long time now. Unfortunately for the past week now I have bot been able to use. Every time I open the app it crashes when I try to view video, just shuts down. Also does not show the next launch or view the next rocket that is going to launch. Very big bummer. Can someone reach out and help me with this. ### 5/5 — Free and functions well with a cool factor *2020-05-30* It’s free, no in app purchases, it has a compass direction indicator so you know where to look for launch, link to live video stream, universal countdown timer that works for any time zone, description of rocket and mission details, upcoming launch information months in advance. Just a solid free app and particularly great for Floridians or visitors that can view a launch. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app!! *2020-05-27, version 8* Really lovely app for all ages!! Fantastic graphics!!!! Excellent! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
