Inappropriate ads
I like the purpose of the app, but I’m very concerned about the advertising being displayed in the app. The Apple App Store currently rates this app 4+, yet I received Temu ads featuring sexually suggestive and highly revealing imagery. When I tapped the banner to confirm my suspicions, it opened a Temu shopping ad containing additional provocative product images.
I understand that developers need advertising revenue and may not personally select every ad that appears. However, developers do have a responsibility to make sure the advertising shown in their app is appropriate for the app’s audience and age rating. If your app rating is different from Apples rating- change it accordingly.
While I don’t expect 4 year old are using the app, kids may be. . Parents should be able to let a child use a 4+ space and science app without encountering advertising like this.

App settings suck
This App supposedly allows you to set the notifications for launches by specific rocket companies or countries. No matter how I set the notifications, I still keep getting notifications for Chinese rocket launches that I have no interest in - as if this is some kind of propaganda tool. App deleted.
Used to be good
Paywall this and that. Event schedule is a narrow window where you can’t read. Can’t hide locales. Busy UI
Uninstalling.

X-Rated Adds Shoeing up!
Have had this app for years BUT it has changed…. Now has x rated pics. Deleting
Love watching Space Launched
We love watching the Vandenberg launches from our backyard deck! We play the countdown video and get so excited waiting to see the rocket appear from behind our large pine tree as it journeys up into orbit over the Pacific. Prior to the launches I keep the neighbors updated so they can also watch also..🚀

X-rated ads?!
Living near the cape, watching the launches is something my and boy boys love to do on a regular basis. I used to love this app and would have my youngest use it to do our countdowns and find the live video feed. But lately, in the free version, highly graphic, sexual/nude advertisements have been popping up on a child’s device! An app that advertises itself as safe for 4+ should not ale these types of ads. The temu ad shows people using sex toys. Get rid of the indecent ads and this is a great app.

I love this app because I'm invested in space stocks and love watching launches live
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!
Corrected review
Update…May 2nd…..I was wrong. The app is still excellent…I, being a typical old guy who hates change, was just venting on a lot of the new changes in the app in my review the other day. My bad! The app still gives all the simple info an average user like me needs, while also having a wealth of finer and more comprehensive information that those more detail-oriented want.

CHANGE…..DON’T like the New
I too Loved this app and used for many launches but it’s no longer working right and I’m missing launches! The timing has been off ….. Not to mention ALL the new “STUFF” on it. No longer the jump on check the launch and go…. Am looking for another “just let me know when there’s a launch from my area, app” ….. Don’t like the NEW ……

Unreliable
This app used to be good. Now this app is junk. Launches disappear only to go anyway. Launches are scrubbed with no updates.
Shiny new app, same great support
I’ve been using this app for years and like the design and functionality of this latest version. I had a few issues with it and reported them to the developer. His response was quick and kind. He was able to resolve the issues and stayed in touch to make sure things worked as they should! Amazing support and follow-through that you don’t frequently see anymore. I highly recommend this app and am grateful for the support of its developer, Caleb Jones.

This update was not needed
The app did exactly what it was supposed to do before this update. Now it takes so long to load that you miss critical windows in launches. Just got an update about a launch failure and it can’t even load the launch that it’s talking about. Nobody needs all this flashy junk, just revert it back to how it was and call it a day

Used to be a great app - but not now
This was my go to app for launches, but with the recent changes, it’s almost worthless. Can only see one upcoming launch on the main page, upcoming launches page just spins, and it’s full of ads. Guess they’ve decided money is more important than content.
Bait and switch scam
I supported this app for a long time and paid for the ad free experience. Now they require a subscription to go ad free, and they are not honoring my purchase. Time to switch to a competitor.
Latest update has issues
Used to love this app to keep track of certain launches now it locks up and can’t display launch data but it does a pretty good job flooding you with ads so there’s that…
