Love it buttt…
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👌

Size matters
A 960 MB download to be reminded / notified of StaceX launches???
Stopped working
Not receiving any notifications no matter what I do, unsubscribed.
Payment Scam
I paid for the app just to sign up for subscriptions, nice try devs.
Doesn’t work on Vision Pro, no support
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.

Great app...
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.
Glitchy, no links to the actual launch
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

Awesome!
Can please add other launch providers as well? :)
Performance and memory
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
Unreliable
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.

App not working
There seems to be an issue with the app updating and alerting for the next launch. Even though I’t was scrub today, it didn’t alert me about the CRS launch. It keeps telling me the next launch is November 1 of the falcon heavy which is long since launched, not sure what the issue is I deleted, and then reinstall the app, but I am still having the same issue.

Pocket Rocket app doesn’t work
Please fix this poorly developed app
Nach Update funktioniert die App auf meinem iPad Pro nicht mehr
Das Update für iOS 16 funktioniert nicht mehr auf iPad Pro. Meine iOS Version ist 15.7!
Get ur rocket fix
This app so lovingly put together it’s frankly obscene - it’s so cool to be able to see upcoming launches and payloads - getting push notifications before launches is always a treat!
Great but —
This is a very well-crafted app and I commend the developers for their attention to detail. However, I see in some of the other reviews that y’all say that there’s only so much a team of people can do as launch details change. I think some of the other apps are using the same API because those update faster. Please consider using the best API so that the information is current. Your attractive widget isn’t that useful if the launch date is wrong!

Your vibrations don't queue right
You call yourself a pocket rocket! Can't even get me off at the right time!
I really, really want to love this app
It looks beautiful. The AR is brilliant. Access to a lot of great information.
But…
For me, the notifications are unreliable, at best. I generally get the T-24h, and T-1h, but notifications about schedule changes are usually too late to be useful. I do realize that last-minute changes can’t be pushed out instantly, but it’s usually long enough that it’s not helpful. Not sure if it’s an App Store developer issue…
The timeline feature, while it looks beautiful, doesn’t provide up-to-date information. It’s currently telling me that the next Falcon 9 launch is on January 31st, which is a week ago. Maybe we don’t know when it’s been rescheduled for? But update the timeline to reflect that.
I’d rather have sent this and screenshots in an email, but the developer support site seems to be down and the website just redirects to the App Store…

Great work in progress
Rocket renderings superb, great idea, scrolling navigation of app has been fixed
Awesome Utility for the SpaceX Enthusiast!
Got tired of randomly checking the SpaceX website for advance notice of launch events, then came across Pocket Rocket. The app is really well thought out, and features countdown info, granular info on the boosters being used for launches, and even sends me push notifications when launches are eminent, so I never miss them. It’s also smart in that it tells me when launches are going to occur in *my* local time so I don’t have to even think about the time difference between where I live and whichever launch site is being used (Florida, California, etc.). And as a really nice touch the app features detailed AR models of all of SpaceX’s rockets so I can bring them into my reality to study up close and personal. This developer also implemented really smart use of widgets for the iPhone and iPad Home Screen. Really cool app and worth paying the subscription to get even more info. I recommend this app for any space enthusiast, but especially SpaceX enthusiasts. Well done!

Response from developer
Thanks so much, Bryan! We’re working on a big update that I think you’ll enjoy, but if you ever have any feedback or see any problems, don’t hesitate to send us an email from within the app in the future! We’d love to hear from you.
What an amazing app!!!
I love this app. The AR is really well done and looks amazing. I love how it gives a countdown so i know exactly when it starts. The only thing I would like to see in the future would be more missions like rocket lab or starship events. other tgan that its an amazing app.
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind review! I have great news for you: we’re working on both of those things right now :) We’ll have a separate Starship launch list and widget, and a new section for Rocket Lab. Feel free to shoot us an email from within the app if you ever have any other feedback! It’s often the case that we’re already working on it ;)
