Great app but unfixable notifications

I’ve been using this app to track launches and while it works well overall, the notifications haven’t worked properly for years now and it is extremely frustrating. There are toggles to track launches by specific agency or location, but they just don’t work at all. I’ve tried everything - deleting and reinstalling the app, updating IOS, and am on my second phone now while using this app. For a long time the notifications stopped completely. Recently after upgrading to iPhone 17 I was able to get notifications back on, but I get notified for every launch worldwide, regardless of settings. I don’t understand why this hasn’t been fixed after (with no exaggeration) years of the same problem. Considering the main purpose of using this app for me is to get notified of launches, I can’t give it more than two stars until they figure out how to fix this.

Kennedy Space Launch

I grew up with the Gemini Space Program and was in the military when Apollo was running. I loved watching the launches. When they stepped on the moon I was in Vietnam and it was all over Armed Forces radio. I think it had a lot to do with me ending up being an airline pilot for my career. Now I am retired and living in Orlando, so I am able to watch the launches from Kennedy from my front yard. Thanks a million.

Great new version

As a long time subscriber I was excited to see the new version and happy to subscribe again.
All the features I used often (and more!) with huge improvements!

Telemetry

It is a pity that not all sites have telemetry data on their launches. Rocket Lab from N.Z. are by far the best.

Needs to be fixed

Seems as if updates have fixed the recent issues. Thank you!
