### 4/5 — Great app but

*2026-08-16, version 8.2.1*

Space launch schedule is a great app but non of the watch online, watch in person, trajectory , and more information doesn’t work. My app is updated. Please fix this I would like to be able to watch the launching from home.

### 3/5 — Why all the pop ups?

*2025-09-04, version 7.2.0*

This used to be my go to app for launches, lately all it does is have pop ups that you can’t clear from the screen. Please fix!!

### 2/5 — Most recent version broken

*2024-03-31, version 6.0.6*

I really liked this app. But the Mar 2023 update seems to have broken it. It’s not doing anything but sit there spinning. On two separate iPhones.

### 2/5 — Erroneous half the time

*2024-03-16, version 6.0.6*

Missed a handful of launches due to “launch delay” message only to find out later they launched on time when I could have watched.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-03-15, version 6.0.6*

I like this app. It's not intrusive but it alerts you to launchs that you interested in. Those launchs are easy to navigate to and set up. Then it alerts you an hour before count down and updates as it gets closer. Next I pull up the linked YouTube and then go out side to watch it from the sky. Night time launchs are the best!

### 5/5 — Handiest guide to launches!

*2024-03-15, version 6.0.6*

Space Monkey is valuable for anyone fascinated by space.  It is the gateway to almost daily launches by nations and companies around the world.  It shows up-to-the-minute status of launches, and connects to YouTube and other broadcasters.  It includes trajectory and other information about each launch.  Easy to navigate and exciting to use!

### 1/5 — Missing Launches

*2023-12-10, version 6.0.4*

The launch data is not correct.   For example, the USF-52 Heavy for Dec 10 is not listed, yet SpaceX indicates it is GO for launch.   The times for other launches were wrong in the past.    Use NextSpaceFlight.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2023-07-28, version 5.0.2*

Shows all rocket launches and even lets me have the times shows for my time zone so I never have to convert times depending on where in the world the launch is happening from. I’ve had the app for years and it has always been perfect, everything just works every time.

### 5/5 — Great App for Rocket Launches

*2023-03-30, version 5.0.2*

This is a great app to keep up with rocket launches, especially helpful if you are in the vicinity of a launch site. You can get launch notifications in the U.S. The developer is very responsive to issues/suggestions. I look forward to continuing refinements and features in this app.

### 1/5 — Get Next Spaceflight instead

*2023-03-07, version 5.0.2*

Terrible app. It just brings you to a web page with a lot of ads.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-04-29, version 8.2.1*

So many ads it’s almost useless unless you subscribe through Patreon. Try something else.

### 1/5 — Was great now bad

*2026-04-02, version 8.2.1*

It used to be my favorite app now it’s awful. I used to recommend it to everyone on the beach when watching a launch. Now I’ll probably delete it. I don’t mind ads but the app environment and functionality have changed for the worse.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore.

*2026-03-30, version 8.2.1*

Last few launches it does not show a countdown.  Not sure what happened to this app., it use to be awesome!

### 1/5 — Cheesy app

*2026-01-03, version 8.2.1*

Inappropriate ads attached

### 1/5 — Disgusting ads, not safe for children!

*2026-01-02, version 8.2.1*

This app features ads of women appearing like they’re nude, excessive cleavage and big butts. Do not let your children use this app, many other options out there from companies that haven’t sold their souls.

### 1/5 — What a disappointment

*2025-10-26, version 8.1.1*

Prior to downloading this application I used this web site without ever having any trouble or concerns about watching a space launch. 

Now that I have downloaded this application, it’s nothing but a blizzard of pop-up ads demanding I switched to a paid subscription. 

I missed this morning‘s launch because of this lousy Basically hostage situation now that I’ve downloaded the application. 

Once I leave this review, I will be deleting the app off my phone and going to a different space launch application moving forward.

Terrible “bait n switch”

### 1/5 — Ad covered information

*2025-08-30, version 7.2.0*

Unless you pay for the app, you will not see information it’s covering information. This used to be a really great app but now a money grab and has been deleted.

### 1/5 — Click bait

*2025-02-02, version 7.0.7*

Use to be a good app. Didn’t mind a few ads. Now pushes for $3/month and the ads are more abundant than fleas on a dog. And set up to easily click them rather than scroll to info—-that isn’t there anymore. Lots of rocket history. But good luck finding trajectory or the YouTube to watch it.

### 1/5 — Launch time fail

*2024-07-12, version 6.0.6*

Right around launch time the app would not load , missed the updates and the launch timing

### 1/5 — Rocket view

*2024-06-12, version 6.0.6*

So the app says the next rocket launch counting down from 20 hours, and I’m watching the ticker tape on the bottom of the news saying there is a launch tonight at 9:00 PM. This app seems to know nothing of it.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — So useful!!

*2026-04-14, version 8.2.1*

Love this app, it’s improved tremendously recently, the notifications are so helpful.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2025-11-15, version 8.2.0*

I love the new launch pad compass!! It’s very helpful, a bit jerky but the coordinates are great to be able to prep for photographing launches from different locations.

### 5/5 — So fast.

*2025-10-09, version 8.0.0*

This latest update is so impressive, clean and quick. As a resident of the FL coast I use this as my mainstay launch program. I do miss the trajectory graphic which was so helpful for planning my launch viewing though

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-03-20, version 7.0.7*

We moved a 9 months ago from Tennessee to Florida….an hour from Cape Canaveral. I’m so happy someone told me about this app! We have seen many launches with the info provided. Space Launch Schedule has always been accurate. It’s free, which is wonderful! You can tap on the title of each launch, and it provides more details about the rocket. Thank you so much for an app that is amazing!

### 5/5 — Been using it for years. 5 star

*2025-02-15, version 7.0.7*

Simple and hassle free. The way apps used to be.  Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Concise and and clear

*2025-02-11, version 7.0.7*

I’ve used this app for years to follow launches across the US. It is clear and concise and contains more launch info per screen than other apps. Its easy to configure for the specific launch providers and locations.  Having lived near Vandenberg I have it configured for all providers that launch from there as well as specific launches across the US. 
I tried the other more highly reviewed app and found that that app does not optimize the screen space as well as this one.

### 5/5 — Really like it

*2024-04-30, version 6.0.6*

My family and I don’t live too far from one of the launch sites and we all have fun with this app tracking when the next one will be and going outside and watching it. Plus, I personally think the app is pretty well done.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-04-17, version 6.0.6*

Love how I can get frequent updates to when one is about to go off and see what payload is too. 😎

### 5/5 — Love the chimp!

*2024-03-15, version 6.0.6*

I live in orlando and count on this app to notify me of all the local launches- it’s so awesome to watch - thank for providing the info and alerts so we can run outside with neighbors to witness :)) one shortly so I gotta go and watch!😞🤩🤩🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Great info

*2024-03-15, version 6.0.6*

I check the log regularly to see when the next launch is, what time, and where to watch.
