### 4/5 — Never get any sounds from mission control.

*2022-01-18, version 2.0.4*

Never get anything from mission control Way

### 4/5 — Great app but

*2021-03-30, version 2.0.2*

Great app but not sure why in the “ upcoming launches” section of the app, it’s missing the Starship SN11 launch that’s scheduled for tomorrow. Love the “add to calendar feature” so I don’t have to spend solely on iOS notifications from the app for reminders of impending launches.

### 4/5 — Very cool app

*2021-03-25, version 2.0.1*

News API needs to be updated.

### 3/5 — Old News

*2021-03-14, version 2.0.1*

Most news is old and this app is not what it should be.

### 3/5 — Was great for a while

*2020-12-12, version 2.0.1*

Worked fine for quite a few launches but now I just get notifications for scrubbed launches, upcoming launches with negative times, and a widget that’a stuck on several launches ago.

Needs work on the basics before any of the fancy unimportant stuff.

### 4/5 — Why no ULA Launches?

*2020-12-10, version 2.0.1*

I like this app. New to central FL and launch watching and thought this could be my primary info source until I realized it only covers Spacex.

### 3/5 — Need to Keep Info Updated

*2020-12-05, version 2.0.1*

Some nice features, but they never seem to update after a scrub is announced, so I continue getting 1-hour and 10-minute notifications for a launch that isn’t even happening.

**Developer response:** Hi there! The launch notifications do seem to be unreliable at times with the current way they are built. I’m working on improving them as much as I can, so stay tuned! 

Thank you for the compliments and downloading the app!

### 4/5 — Amazing design

*2020-11-22, version 2.0.1*

Really simple and easy to use app that is very customizable as well. There are some occasional freezes and the app needs to be rebooted but other than the best place to get your spacex
news!

### 2/5 — Widget isn’t working

*2020-11-20, version 2.0.1*

Widget won’t update and was stuck on last launch. Re-adding widget now just shows black.

### 5/5 — Utterly Elegant

*2020-11-20, version 2.0.1*

This app is nothing short of amazing. The amount of detail is unmatched. You can learn so much about each launch, and what goes into each one. Know when the next launch is, or scroll through previous launches. You could easily charge for this app and I would gladly pay. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Still has a bug

*2020-11-12, version 2.0.1*

Appears to still have a bug.  Tap “News” and I get kicked out!

### 1/5 — ???

*2023-09-15*

The entire reason I downloaded this app was to not miss a launch from Vandenberg. I literally have missed every single one. Where’s the option to have 24 hour warning  push notifications sent to phone over specific launch sites??

### 1/5 — No longer getting updated

*2023-01-26, version 2.0.4*

Last update was oct 2022

### 1/5 — This app is dead

*2022-12-17, version 2.0.4*

It’s been unreliable for months already and it’s seem to be dead now.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work

*2022-11-18, version 2.0.4*

Why release this piece of junk?

### 1/5 — Wrong launch time

*2022-07-17, version 2.0.4*

App posted wrong launch time even counted down to lift off 30 minutes AFTER actual lift off time

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even update

*2020-09-21, version 1.3.2*

Past few launches have not updated as often as I wanted to be. I really wanted to like this app because of the design, but unfortunately it just does not work at all!

### 2/5 — Need to get back to the basics

*2023-11-28*

I enjoy what i do I can figure out but the news just spins and never showed anything and the live video or feedback never works faint watch live or go back and watch launches? That the reason I even got the app.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2022-09-26, version 2.0.4*

The app has gotten very unreliable over the years and even with alerts on it misses a lot of launches.

### 2/5 — Live Stream of Launches hasn’t worked in months

*2022-08-09, version 2.0.4*

This app used to live stream launches, but that hasn’t worked in many months. The alert and count down works, but video stream just says pending all the time. Maybe SpaceX has stopped streaming or the developer has not kept up with changes.  Either way, my main reason for having this app doesn’t work anymore.  Time to delete and move on…

### 2/5 — News feature is broken

*2022-03-30, version 2.0.4*

Seems some of the nicer features of this app are not getting maintained?

### 5/5 — Developer OK??

*2023-02-25, version 2.0.4*

I checked to see if the developer had posted on Twitter. Nothing since Nov 22. I hope he’s OK. Even his GitHub shows no activity since November.

UPDATE: I see from his Twitter profile that he liked a post on 2/7/23. So he’s alive (maybe).

### 5/5 — Pretty Awesome

*2021-11-23, version 2.0.4*

It’s all right here in 1 app. You get a notification so you can see the launch. I live in S. Fl and this app allows my family to see in real time each launch. We learn everything in complete detail. I highly recommend!  We are going to see one tonight!

### 5/5 — Launch map November 13th 2021

*2021-11-14, version 2.0.4*

Crew 3 launched earlier this week and the widget is stuck on Crew 3 launch and please add a countdown timer and a map of the launch to the app as it would be helpful

### 5/5 — Tom Papa recommended on JRE

*2021-06-07, version 2.0.2*

Tom Papa recommends so I had to get it

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2021-06-02, version 2.0.2*

This App makes me hard

### 5/5 — For space fans… this is a necessity

*2021-04-24, version 2.0.2*

I have relied on Reddit for years on all my space info. I got fed up and came across this masterpiece of an app. I wanted to create a space news and relevant launch times app, but this is exactly that. 11/10, perfect.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2021-03-31, version 2.0.2*

This app is amazing - I’ve tried other apps to keep track of launches but found them cluttered. This one is SpaceX specific, so if you are looking for other launches you’ll need a separate app, but as far as tracking SpaceX, this is as good as it gets!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-03, version 2.0.1*

Beautiful app with lots of info!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-01-16, version 2.0.1*

Extremely well done app! AND ITS FREE!

### 5/5 — Apparently the designer and the developers did a fantastic job!

*2020-12-17, version 2.0.1*

Like I said, best SpaceX launch tracking app out there! Way to go!
