Glitchy

### 1/5 — What happened to dark mode?

*2026-05-22, version 4.3.1*

Thanks for forcing me to update to the version published weeks ago during the starship countdown that was awesome.

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2026-04-15, version 4.3.1*

App worked great then suddenly I am not getting any notifications. My friend said he can’t even open his app anymore. Updates have not helped. To bad, I was enjoying this app.

### 1/5 — Completely missed a launch

*2025-09-29, version 4.3.1*

Received no notifications whatsoever. Huge disappointment. You have one job

### 1/5 — No updates

*2025-05-27, version 4.2.2*

Uses older maps from the old  Gulf of Mexico days.   Should be updated to Gulf of America.

### 1/5 — Couple major issues

*2024-10-12*

There are a couple major issues that ruin this for me. 

The first is that there is no dark mode icon for iOS 18. Their app icon is so simple that it would take less than 5 minutes to upload an appropriate dark mode icon but they have not. To me, this signals that they don’t care since they’ve had months to submit one. It seems like a small issue but it’s one of the only apps that doesn’t have a dark mode version on my phone and it means all notifications show up in light mode- very annoying and doesn’t match the system theme. 

Slightly related to the first point, is the amount of notifications. There is no way, from what I can tell, to filter notifications to only show nearby launches. Only want to see the ones near me that I can see. I don’t need notifications all day every day for launches happening all over the planet. Let me filter notifications by the ones I actually want to see. 

These two issues magnify each other since the spam of notifications show up on my feed every day in a light mode icon that doesn’t match all of the other iOS 18 dark mode icons. 

Could be great but they cut corners in places that should be very simple basic features.

### 1/5 — Was good until recently

*2024-01-06*

Recent 4.0 update completely ruined a good layout, current version makes it harder for simpletons who dont know the standard 24hour roll, interface has become to large and now have to filter launches manually instead of having just your favorites show up… not a fan of recent update or there live streams(to much chatter not enough stats) so this will now be a relic of app history as i wont be using it anymore…

### 1/5 — Very basic and better Space apps out there

*2023-04-17, version 2.7.4*

Lots of improvement needed. Pretty bland UI in the app, not intuitive and unreliable notifications and launch updates. Dont waste your time

### 1/5 — Notifications not working

*2023-02-07, version 2.7.4*

I have every notification setting on and I keep missing launches. I have never had a single notification pop up.

### 5/5 — Best space launch App yet

*2026-08-27, version 4.3.1*

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-08-24, version 4.3.1*

Very easy to use app. Always up to date

### 5/5 — Appreciate and Enjoy

### 5/5 — Best launch notification app

*2026-08-15, version 4.3.1*

So far this is the most accurate, up to date, rocket launch information app I’ve seen

### 5/5 — Space flight

*2026-08-14, version 4.3.1*

It is amazing app and everyone should download this app

### 5/5 — Launch times

*2026-08-11, version 4.3.1*

Between 8-9pm are the best launches! Can you please do that time frame for often? PLEASE? ❤️

### 5/5 — The Best Rocket Launch App

*2026-08-04, version 4.3.1*

Covers all launches with details and accuracy

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-01, version 4.3.1*

Having the ability to be notified about future launches is awesome!  share the information with family and friends.

### 5/5 — The best app of its kind!

*2026-07-25, version 4.3.1*

I am impressed. In Facebook I created the Starlink Satellite Observing Group and I use this app to alert me of launches that may produce Starlink trains as well as ones that may release a visible rocket passivation. The passivations can look spectacular. The time of the launch and the inclination of the trajectory help me to predict when and where the rocket will be when it begins to release gasses.

### 5/5 — Thorough

*2026-07-25, version 4.3.1*

My go to for all type of launches; most thorough and reliable reporting & video. 
Well done.
