It’s displaying the crew of Artemis 2, they arrived safely back on earth weeks ago. Must be a small glitch because I really like this App and recommend it for space lovers like me. ### 2/5 — 5 mar 2024, Dragon-8, … *2024-03-05, version 1.1* … count not changed, no new crew members in app. ### 3/5 — IOS17.1.2 not working anymore *2023-12-11, version 1.1* I had installed this sometime last year and it worked great but now it displays no information on the screen. Just placeholders for information should be. It needs an update or should be taken down. ### 1/5 — Abandoned app *2023-11-02, version 1.1* Not updated for a while now and doesn’t show anything. Finally officially done ### 1/5 — People in space *2023-10-01, version 1.1* I used to love this app. But it doesn’t seem to be working anymore ### 2/5 — Confusing information *2023-09-21, version 1.1* The “time in space” for each astronaut is their overall time in space, not how long their current mission is. This is misleading and confusing to the average citizen. The “time in space” should reflect only the current mission. Otherwise it appears like people have been in space for over 3 years which is just not true! And please connect the astronauts’ bios to something other than Wikipedia. A nice app to find out the number of people in space, but otherwise it is lacking. ### 1/5 — App not maintained or updated anymore *2023-09-04, version 1.1* This used to be a good app, but it appears the developer has abandoned it. The last update was eight years ago. The App Store should have it removed. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-08-29, version 1.1* The app is broken now. Awesome. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated in a long time *2023-08-27, version 1.1* No longer updated. It’s a shame. ### 1/5 — Very minimum effort *2023-06-24, version 1.1* Socials dont load ### 2/5 — Inaccurate count *2023-05-25, version 1.1* There have been 14 people in space for 4 days and the app still displays 10. It isn’t updated promptly. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — False information *2023-04-11, version 1.1* This app claims that people who left space are still on the ISS when they returned back on earth half a year ago. That’s a pretty bad lack of updates ### 3/5 — Not accurate anymore. Needs update. *2023-03-26, version 1.1* Nice idea. Nice execution. Poor follow through. Needs to take CSS into account now as well ### 2/5 — Incredible idea; zero execution *2022-09-17, version 1.1* This is a phenomenal idea and was once a really fun app, when it was being updated regularly. However, the person/team behind it seems to have moved on and is no longer actually updating. For example, as of today, 9/17/22, the app lists Kayla Barron as being on the ISS, when she returned to Earth all the way back in May. ### 1/5 — Not updated *2022-08-04, version 1.1* Why am i still people who left the space station 5 months ago??? ### 1/5 — Heroes? *2022-04-22, version 1.1* I find it very problematic that under their flight crew position information you labeled ONLY (all 3) the Russian cosmonauts as heroes specifically and none of the other 7 have any other information listened aside from their position on the flight crew. It is leaning toward Russian propaganda. Please remove it. It’s too divisive for something that should be used for scientific purposes. ### 2/5 — Except it’s incorrect *2022-04-16, version 1.1* No real point of this app if it’s not updated when people come and go from space in a timely manner. ### 2/5 — Chinese Taikonauts on ISS ? ! ? *2022-01-14, version 1.1* Today, 2021.01.14 the app shows the three Chinese taikonauts, who are actually on China’s space station as being on the ISS. What good is the app if it has bogus data? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work anymore *2025-07-24, version 1.1* Really unfortunately this app doesn’t work at all anymore, displaying no information at all. Very sad as this was a lovely little app while it did work. Would love to see it updated! ### 1/5 — Currently not working *2025-02-13, version 1.1* It use to be a simple and easy app, but now it doesn’t work. It’s blank and shows no text, just a photo of the earth. If you press around on the screen, the keyboard pops up and will not go away no matter what you do. It covers 3/4ths of the screen, which is still, of course, blank. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-07-29, version 1.1* Stopped working ### 1/5 — can’t use it at all *2024-05-15, version 1.1* every time i open the app it just crashes ### 1/5 — What even. Why. *2024-03-10, version 1.1* The entire app is just blank. ### 1/5 — Earf *2024-02-16, version 1.1* I open the app and it just shows a background image of the earth. Nice. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-01-29, version 1.1* Each screen only has a background. No information displays ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2024-01-22, version 1.1* This was one of my favorite apps. I love it so much. But it’s not optimized for newer phones at all. It doesn’t work whatsoever ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Working Correctly! *2024-01-20, version 1.1* There is an empty screen! (a world photo and a red ribbon at the bottom) There is no place to click or tap. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-12-17, version 1.1* Just shows no number anymore. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — not working? *2023-11-29, version 1.1* i really love this wee app, but it doesn't seem to be working any more. any chance of reviving it? 🛸 ### 5/5 — Boom *2022-06-26, version 1.1* I love how simple this app looks and is. It’s super fun to have and check every once in a while. ### 5/5 — Only astronauts on International Space Station *2021-07-01, version 1.1* Only astronauts on the International Space Station are included. Chinese astronauts are not included in the count. So it’s not an authentic count of actual people in space right now. Update: This issue was fixed! Thank you for listening and updating the app! ### 5/5 — Great app but.. *2020-11-08, version 1.1* The lack of updates over the last 5/6 years shows the developers have more/less given up on maintaining what is (or once was) a very well made and simple app. It hurts to say this but unless they improve the code and make changes to take it further, I will be deleting this app from my phone and only reinstalling until that time comes. I hesitate to give it a one star despite my thoughts because I see the potential in it becoming far better than it is now. ### 5/5 — Simple & perfect *2020-09-28, version 1.1* If this subject is important for you, you have to use this simple and perfect appl. ### 5/5 — Revolutionary *2020-06-19, version 1.1* This app is the ABSOLUTE BEST app in the whole App Store. Excellent price and easy to use. I absolutely LOVE IT. It is very well and sugoi ### 5/5 — This app is legen- wait for it- dary! *2020-03-27, version 1.1* Haha saw and liked the reference. Very cool app btw! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2020-02-27, version 1.1* Enhancement request: use the full vertical height for FaceID iPhones, i.e. fill in the extra space with the space background. ### 5/5 — Efsane *2019-10-05, version 1.1* Gerçekten çok anlaşılabilir bir uygulama gerçekten bu konulara meraklı iseniz indirin ### 5/5 — Hmmm *2019-03-17, version 1.1* I wonder if it will eventually get past 6 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
