What people like
- Easy to understand and use
- Covers many science topics well
- Saves space by combining apps
What they complain about
- Ads interrupt you constantly
- Boring text without images
- App freezes on loading
Clear, concise articles
Medical or space or physics- all good articles. I enjoy them all.
Forced to accept ads before features can work
I understand developing takes time and knowledge but 6.99 before I can view anything ( or have to choose “allow” ads before I can test the app out ) is not acceptable - this made me delete this app pretty well right away. Try some “ Recon “ ( great space apps are free - ISS live feed wow ! I’m downloading companion apps for it when I found yours . Other apps - u can find - maybe $1.99 to upgrade ) I would maybe be ok $2 for your app but want to be able to see it first - not just a menu and be forced to allow ads to see anything on screen except type Good work so far tho 😊
Great App
Everything I need to know about NASA in one app. No need to download 4 or 5 different NASA apps
different from the thumbtails
I have to admit the pictures on the description page are beautiful. But then I find the horrible start page with a clickable "view news" in the center. The app is more like a RSS reader which fetches articles from probably NASA's website, so why couldn't I read those articles directly from where they are from? Hope it could be redesigned specially for mobile devices — add some images on the start page, refresh them automatically, and PLEASE don't make the article look like just plain text.
Easy access to related information
I'd gladly pay 99 cents to get rid of the ads!!! I noticed in the app screenshots from the developer above that it doesn't show that it"s ad supported. I have NEVER bought anything from an in app ad and I never will.
SCIENCE
A great source of information on what is going on in science.
Tbj
Very poor. Free version will only give content if you allow permissions for adds... I won’t give permission without knowing if I like the app. This “say yes or no deal” blackmail type policy is a no go for me. Very disappointing from a scientific content app.
Really?
This was the best you could do? It's an RSS reader without any images. Very dry presentation of text news. I deleted after opening and poked around in it. Try the other NASA apps first.
Great app! Easy to understand and use!

Won't Load since update
I've used this app for several years now and never had problems until this last update. Now when I try to open its stuck on loading indefinitely Please fix.
VERY GOOD
WORKS WELL
Bandeau publicitaire énervant !!!
Cette application affiche systèmatiquement un bandeau publicitaire en bas d'écran, vraiment insupportable, je désinstalle.
Awesome
Cool
