One problem is the app icon won’t change **Developer response:** Thank you so much for using the app, I will look and see how the experience can be improved for free users. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-06-06, version 4.16* Great app but I wish more features were available for free ### 4/5 — Falling short in 2025 *2025-01-15* Not sure what’s happening to this app. It’s missing launches so far for the beginning of the year. Had this app for a few years now and loved it but now not sure what’s happening. Not sure if I’ll renew my subscription this year if they continue to drop the ball. **Developer response:** Hi! First off, I apologize for the inconvenience! I truly appreciate you being a Premium user and this is the last thing I want for you to happen! I just checked the app on the latest version and all the launches are accounted for, the possible reason for missing launches is you may have unfollowed agencies by mistake, that can be checked by going to Settings > Agencies. Recent launches can be accessed from Mission Control, tap "See all" next to Most Recent, this is the best way to check if all the launches you believe are missing are there. Thank you for using the app! ### 3/5 — It’s ALL Premium *2024-09-01* When I got it I was so exited but then I can’t really do anything but the videos are good **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that, I would like to understand your experience better so that it can be improved, please email me at apptminus@gmail.com and describe the issues you are encountering in more detail. ### 3/5 — A little gimmicky *2024-06-23* Overall it’s a decent app for tracking launches, but the “trading card” gimmick cheapens the whole feel of the app. **Developer response:** Hi! I'm sorry you feel that way, it's a feature that is loved by many and it definitely does not impact the launch tracking experience since it's a stand alone feature. Thank you for giving it a try! ### 4/5 — Awesome update, ONE MAJOR ISSUE *2024-06-09* This updates awesome! I love the new UI, it’s was more refined, looks way more professional and it fixes a lot of bugs. There’s just one issue. WHY CANT I TRADE TRADING CARDS!!!???? **Developer response:** Hi! I had to speed up the 4.0 development to release before IFT-4 and I had to compromise the trading feature in the process. Not to worry though, it'll be back very soon! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-06-05* Haven’t had the app to long but it’s great. The app design is amazing **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and for giving the app a try! ### 4/5 — Really good app, but I have an issue. *2024-06-02* This app is incredible, I love it so much. There’s just one issue I have. Whenever I open the app, the icon resets to the default, which is sad because I like the alternative ones. Also, it would be cool if there was a smaller Lock Screen widget. **Developer response:** Version 4.0 is out and addresses all the issues you mentioned! Thank you for giving the app a try! 🚀 ### 5/5 — Tolle App! *2023-11-18* Super Design, sehr informativ! ### 4/5 — Great, but with one flaw. *2023-09-28* I love this app and use it all the time, however when I try to change the app icon it seems to work, but when I enter the app again it says “You have changed the icon for T-Minus”. If that were fixed it would definitely be 5 stars. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write this review!! Version 4.0 is out now and solves this issue! Thank you so much for using the app!! ### 5/5 — Just downloaded and I love it already! Just needs one thing… *2023-09-26* Downloaded this app 10 minutes ago looking for a replacement for my current launch tracker which has become ad-ridden, and I love it! The mission patch collection part seems like it will be really fun! All I really need now is a dedicated iPad app. I like to check my iPhone quickly for launches, but when I want to look in depth, I like to use my iPad. Sure I can upscale iPhone app to be bigger on the iPad, but it doesn’t look right. Please please please make a dedicated iPad app! That’s the only thing really preventing me from upgrading to premium since I use my iPad so much. Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to using this app much more in the future! Edit: I accidentally only made it 4 star… This is definitely 5 star! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review!! I've been putting off an iPad version since there wasn't that much demand for it, but looks like it's time to get to work on that! Thank you for using the app, I will make sure to improve the experience as well as build an iPad app in the next couple of months! ### 4/5 — Just downloaded and I love it already!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they start trying to charge you to be able to see more than one launch in advance, considering you now can’t see more than one day in advance now without paying for premium. ### 1/5 — Trial period is lacking - expensive to gamble on *2025-01-22* You have to subscribe to filter by location. How can I test to see if I like the app when I can’t even try out the basic functions. I hate getting notifications for launches nowhere near me. The 3 day trial isn’t long enough as we don’t have launches every 3 days here to test out the notification aspect. Don’t download unless you’re willing to pay $20 right out of the gate without getting to try all of the functions. **Developer response:** Hi, there! Thank you for taking the time to write this review! I'm sorry the app didn't meet your expectations! I initially considered notification filtering by location a premium feature because other apps do not provide this functionality. And you are right, it is a basic functionality and should be available to everyone! After giving it more thought, the 3 day trial, indeed, does not give the app justice! In the following days I will consider what a better trial period would be! Thank you for giving the app a try! Edit: The latest update unlocks notification filtering by location for everyone as well as allows for a 7 day free trial! ### 1/5 — Premium only *2024-11-10* Why is the count down now premium only I used to enjoy this app **Developer response:** The countdown is not a Premium only feature. That is a bug that has been fixed as of version 4.08, please make sure you are on the latest version! Thank you for using the app! ### 1/5 — Ukrainian Women? *2023-07-31* Sorry, I am a woman, a scientist. I am offended that you are advertising Ukrainian women selling themselves in slinky outfits on your T-minus website. What, they are not oppressed enough by a war? Get the women-for-sale off your app. Honestly! Men! Get a grip. **Developer response:** I am truly sorry that such things are displayed in the Ad banners. I do not control what is displayed, please report the Ad so that Google removes them from the platform. I apologize for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Zero inspiration and a rip off from other SpaceX apps UI. *2023-04-09* Developers like this are the reason why developers have stopped developing more apps. Because you come along and literally copy the exact UI with zero changes or credit. Other than that. The app fails miserably to send notifications and images do not load properly. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that a small app that grew organically in time discourages other developers from developing apps. In fact, I think it could have the opposite effect. By showing that it's possible to create a successful app without a lot of resources, it could actually encourage other developers to give app development a try. Other than that. The more you use the app or if you use a widget, the more accurate the notifications will be. Also please make sure they are enabled in settings. As for the images, please make sure you have a stable internet connection. That could be the main reason for them not loading. I have personally tested the app in different parts of the world and images have never failed to load under ideal conditions. ### 1/5 — Used to be really good. *2022-05-29* This app used to be my go to launch tracker, but its quality has been deteriorating. Most features are behind a paywall, including the number of ‘daily refreshes’, which can’t be refreshed the next day unless the app is fully restarted. Thoughtless design. **Developer response:** As of version 3.0.3 a lot of issues and limitations have been solved and addressed. Ads have been limited so that they do not ruin the user experience. More content has been unlocked and a list of all the features included in the Free plan is available to see the comparison. Thank you for your feedback and I apologize for the inconvenience! ### 2/5 — stopped working *2024-10-05* It originally was really cool. I got sweet cards and always was prepared for any upcoming launches, but one day the countdown for everything changed to zero, and it stayed that way. Now there is no way to tell when one will launch. I deleted and reinstalled the app, but nothing changed.😢 **Developer response:** Hi, there! I'm so sorry you are experiencing this issue, this bug has been fixed as of version 4.08! Thank you for giving the app a try! ### 2/5 — Dear T-minus developers. Its been a month now... *2024-04-21* Version 3 of spaceflight api is deprecated. Please finally move on to Version 4. Its been a month now with no spaceflight news at all, just because noone decided to change the api. I myself code in java, and its not that hard to change/update the api. Please fix this. I am on the verge of finding a different app. **Developer response:** Version 4.0 is now out! I apologize for the inconvenience! ### 2/5 — New update limits the app *2022-06-03* When the app was released all functions were available to users. With the current update premium has been introduced but offers the same functionality as the past app. I guess it’s back to google searching! Avoid the paywall. **Developer response:** Version 3.0.1 unlocks more content and removes the daily limit. ### 3/5 — how the mighty have fallen *2025-12-14* a once great app that locked some great, but reasonable, features behind a premium paywall but provided a great experience overall for the free user has changed and locked almost 85% of its functionality behind the premium paywall and will ask you to buy premium literally every time you open it. it is almost comical how many previously free features are now paywalled. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start trying to charge you to be able to see more than one launch in advance, considering you now can’t see more than one day in advance now without paying for premium. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top 🚀 *2026-05-04* please add light mode widgets **Developer response:** Light mode widgets are now available!! 🚀 ### 5/5 — still paywalled *2026-04-28* the best unique feature was their daily card collection mini-game, and you would never get duplicate cards on a new days’ card; now you will open 4 days in a row and potentially get 4 cards that are duplicate of 4 other cards. I really understand the need to monetize to keep the app / server costs running and premium is really not that expensive; but I think they’ve lost sight of the middle ground on a couple of features being downgraded severely for free users. no hate you guys have made the best space app, just trying to provide feedback ❤️ **Developer response:** Your feedback is truly appreciated and thank you so much for using the app! ### 5/5 — Best space app *2026-03-14* It’s honestly the best space app out there and it’s so much fun redeeming space patches and I love it so much with the membership being a good price so thank you. **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much for your kind review!! Means the world! ### 5/5 — Easy way to be up to date *2025-01-30* Track upcoming launches and mission updates effortlessly with this well-designed app. Clear timelines, detailed info, and live streams keep you in the loop. Perfect for space enthusiasts! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review!! 🚀🔥 ### 5/5 — Best Launch Tracker! *2025-01-23* I already left a review a while ago and rated it 4 stars due to an issue. That issue was fixed immediately and I couldn’t figure out how to edit it. Now I ABSOLUTELY love this app and use it everyday. It is very useful and very accurate. The only thing I wish they added was a MAC OS version of this app. Five Stars for sure though!!! 🚀🚀🚀 **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write this review! Means the world that you are enjoying T-Minus! MacOS support is definitely on the list! Thank you so much for using the app!! 🚀🔥 ### 5/5 — The Perfect Launch Tracker *2024-11-18* I have been searching for a perfect launch tracker for years and this one finally does it all and more. Track and save launches, see upcoming space events and change almost every setting possible. You can even collect launch patches in the app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! 🚀 I'm thrilled you are enjoying the app!! ### 5/5 — Game changer *2024-09-20* This is the app to download for all things space related 🚀 The app has collectible mission patches, news, launch countdowns, widgets, live activities support, customizable app icon & so much more! It’s so cool opening & collecting a mission patch every morning without having to physically collect them! They have amazing support! You can request new features & report bugs. Super awesome and nice developer! I am excited for every app update even if it’s only minor changes. The app is extremely well built. Super easy to navigate and it is modern & sleek.

I was mainly looking for the possibility of having a widget on my wallpaper 🚀 Personally, I opted for the premium subscription that allows me to have full access and also allows me to support the team of developers 😉 Thanks T-Minus team ! 💪🏼 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and support!!
