Overall, a really great app that lets a space enthusiast ensure they never miss a rocket launch or major space-related event (e.g., ISS dockings, undockings, spacewalks, etc.). It lists upcoming space events, as well as prior ones. And it also lets you tap on prior events and watch them in case you missed them. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is because unless you open the app on a regular basis, it won't show the most current event automatically when you open it, and you have to pull the screen downward to manually load the most current event. And while that is not really an issue, it takes, literally, minutes for the app to download the most current event. So, for example, I got a notification that a rocket launch was about to happen in 10 minutes, but when I opened the app it was showing only the last event I had watched from 11 days prior and it took me up until 2 minutes before launch before I was able to finally view the current rocket launch.

I love this app, I'm on the go and we all have a ton of apps on our phones and a lot to keep up with, but for someone who is fascinated with space and rockets, this app more than does it's job. The notifications are top knotch, especially since they include the links to track/watch live. The schedule is great as I get an idea of what's launching in the future and they include past launches too. Only thing I'd suggest is maybe a "slick" UI, it's not bad, but more futuristic look would be great.

2/16/19 update: Changed DNS servers in my router and that fixed the slow update problem. Finally, I can once again enjoy all the great features. Rating back to 5 stars. *** Old Review: Features and capabilities are worth 5 stars. Unfortunately, over the last couple of months the app has become so slow to update the launch schedule that it is unusable. I gave it 3 stars in the hope that a future update will fix the problem.

Just as a heads up, rockets often launch less than 10 minutes after the 10 minutes notification so don't wait until the last minute if you're planning to watch a launch live. I think this is a limitation in notification delivery rather than a bit I'm the app. I've seen many launches I wanted to see thanks to this app's reminders. I recommend it to any rocket enthusiast.

Great app! It does an excellent job of keeping me aware of upcoming launches and other space flight events from around the world. App filter options however, allow the user to narrow down the scope of launch alert interest as they choose. The authors do a fantastic job at keeping up with fast changing launch schedules. The app also has links to more in-depth and historic information about spacecraft and space flight topics. I highly recommend this app!

Working great. Does as expected. I'm enjoying watching launches live, even though I could just as easily watch them months later since I'm not there in person either way. If there is a way to filter which countries or launchers rate notifications, I haven't found it. I recommend the app and to watch SpaceX's launches. Their hosts and graphics are pretty good.
