Don’t bother

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

Great app but

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.

Most recent version broken

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.

Why all the pop ups?

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!!

Fantastic app!

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.

Was great now bad

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.

Misleading ads

There is a big rectangular button on the bottom that says, “UPDATE NOW “ and when you click on it, you are taken to sketchy flashlight app on the Apple App Store. Apparently the UPDATE NOW button is a deceptive advertisement for another app. I realize the dev did not put this in the app. But the app is devalued by having spammy and deceptive ads posted. Dev needs a more reputable ad provider.

Erroneous half the time

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

So fast.

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

Not working anymore.

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

Really convenient App. One comment

My only comment on the app is it sure would be nice to be able to see the planned insertion inclination. On the Vandenberg launches this would inform me where to look for the launch. OTT, the app gives me the info I need presented well. !!

— Comanchepilot

★★☆☆☆ United States · v5.0.2 · 3 Sept 2022

Not updated

If you’re looking for an app to keep up with the launch status, look elsewhere. Even long after a launch is scrubbed, this app indicates it is a go and continues the countdown.

Crashes

App crashes even after update when clicking on Calendar. Sad. I really like this app until then. Shared it with a bunch of people but not anymore until this is fixed.

Amazing App

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!

Cheesy app

Inappropriate ads attached

★★★★☆ Netherlands · v3.0.4 · 14 Feb 2018

Nice

Nice app. One minor bug: the calendar event has the wrong time/date. It doesn't convert to my time zone... Also needs push notifications of course, but they are coming in a next release 👍🏼

Disgusting ads, not safe for children!

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.

Great App.

Deserves 5 stars and will get them once there is an in-app purchase option to turn off ads. Please.

Good app that’s gotten worse

I like the app, but, it has degraded over time. For example, there is a SpaceX launch tonight, but the app says next launch in 9 days. If I hit “show more launches” it shows tonight’s launch. If I effectively disable all my filters, tonight’s launch shows properly in the app.

Concise and and clear

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.

What a disappointment

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”

Okay, but issues with notifications

This app is okay, but I’m having issues with the notifications. I don’t think I’m getting any despite having them enabled in the app and in my Settings, but regardless I KNOW they aren’t making any sounds to notify me. I have yet to find a launch app that makes a sound when it makes a notification, which makes the notifications useless. Other, non-launch related apps make sounds like normal, so I think it’s an issue with these apps and not my phone.

Really like it

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.

Ad covered information

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.

— Trainer Steven

★★☆☆☆ Canada · v3.0.4 · 16 Mar 2019

Missed

This app stated the rocket had launched. We saw that it hadn’t. We were waiting in a remote area and had to get someone to text us the countdown..90 minutes later. I do like that you can see future launches but this was a HUGE fail for me.

★★★☆☆ Germany · v4.0.1 · 30 May 2020

Would have given the app 5 stars before the last update

The most recent update is bad. It feels like a step back in development since the GUI just looks way worse than before, and the functionality of adding a launch event to your calendar has inexplicably been removed.

Love this app

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

Click bait

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.

Missing filters and notifications

Would be nice filtering by agencies and get notifications for these filters.

Love the chimp!

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!😞🤩🤩🙏🏻

Great app

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!

Rocket view

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.
