### 4/5 — Love it buttt…

*2026-05-01, version 2.8.1*

Hi this is Ethan and I’m all about this app! It is a solid app and has a very clean interface! There are 2 reasons I am giving this a 4 star rating….. 
1. Too basic without the purchase
2. The AR feature doesn’t work.
IF YALL FIX THE AR FEATURE AND PUT IT UNDER A PAY WALL I WILL NOT BE HAPPY. That’s it lol👌

### 2/5 — Size matters

*2025-06-15, version 2.5*

A 960 MB download to be reminded / notified of StaceX launches???

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-06-01, version 2.5*

Not receiving any notifications no matter what I do, unsubscribed.

### 1/5 — Payment Scam

*2025-01-04, version 2.4*

I paid for the app just to sign up for subscriptions, nice try devs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Vision Pro, no support

*2024-10-04*

Worked for a while on my Vision Pro.  Now when I start it all I get is a page with a rocket.  No controls or description, no way to reset it.  Emailed the support link in the App Store available at the time and the email address was invalid.  Now the support link in the App Store just takes you to a website with no support options.

### 5/5 — Great app...

*2023-09-24*

I've enjoyed a lot over the past few years. Love getting a heads-up on when to tune into a launch. But since SpaceTwitter has moved its coverage to X, I don't watch them anymore. So I don't need the app. Not at all the fault of the developers of this app, but it's just not useful anymore.

### 2/5 — Glitchy, no links to the actual launch

*2023-09-15*

I have had nothing but aggravation trying to use the app for a relevant cause. Ok, I see the launch time and the the vehicle, but I’m wanting to watch the launch, not a animated pic. Can’t get the scale image of the vehicle to work anymore, I just get notifications at all hours with no info on where/how to watch it

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2023-02-19, version 1.09.19*

Can please add other launch providers as well? :)

### 3/5 — Performance and memory

*2023-01-15, version 1.09.18*

Developer needs to focus on reducing app size and improve speed of the app. 300+ mb is insane for what the app does and not everyone has the luxury of memory space so constantly having to redownload on a limited data plan is frustrating and makes the app less functional for us

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2022-11-23, version 1.09.17*

This app has gone from a helpful guide to Spacex launches to a complete waste of space in the phone’s memory. 
It appears to me that the people who write the app need some help from proven software engineers.
