I use this app all the time and the upgrade looks great. Reminds me of the old days when app creators paid attention to things that were important and didn’t charge you an arm and leg. To me this app is much more intuitive than the same feed on Nasa’s app, starting with having the video feed and location of the ISS on the same page. The only thing I didn’t like about this app was the forced recentering of the ISS Icon on the page when moving away from it to see its future path. I think that’s been addressed as an option now so that’s great. As far as the feed itself, thats on NASA, not this app as far I know. But because 70% of the feed is of the ocean and another 10% is of land covered in clouds, it is really frustrating to have another 10–15% a lost signal page. The oceans and clouds are part of the viewing experience that can’t be controlled watching live, but you would think a lost signal as consistent as the one on this feed wouldn’t be an issue of significance. Suffice to say it takes a lot of patience but to some of us I guess it’s worth it.

Both the HD&SD cameras are Non-Operational.. They have been this way for some time now.. I love this app and use it often. Well, as often as one can when an App is “actually working”. It’s an amazing app, easy to use, educational and lets not forget completely awesome!!! Not only do I have a blast using This App, but I have several “well more than several” Hahaha! friends and work colleagues whom I have turned to the app and now we have stuff to talk about, other than the usual things.. Even my niece’s and nephews love this app. It’s so user friendly even my 4 year old nephew can use it.. It’s definitely worth the download to explore our bright and beautiful world we are so lucky to have. Also a great way to get your children “of all ages” to not only learn, but to see first hand what else is out there.. I Pair this App with the “NASA” App and man do I get lost in my phone for hours. Now that I’ve gotten that little rant outta my system lol! If anyone working this App could look as to why the cameras aren’t working and fix them, would be GREAT! I miss the App working like it’s supposed to or did... This app undoubtedly deserves 5 stars!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 However, I’m only giving it 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, seeing as the cameras have been down for some~time now. I sure would be one happy “App User” if the “Problem/Bug’s” could be fixed... Once, The App has been fixed and is up and running. I will amend my 4 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating, to the 5 Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating this App so rightfully deserves!!!
Always awesome NASA….

Wow that one review by the “person” who was laughing and insulting NASA without understanding at all what it takes to do what the USA has done longer and better than anyone else in the history of the human species and space exploration. The Russians, Chinese and anyone else have never been as advanced and done more, contributatively, physically and logically to advancing the human race. If that reviewer is an American he’s an idiot. If he’s from another country he is such an idiot, he doesn’t know the word idiot even means. And once again the USA is going to save the planet and the human race. If earth becomes uninhabitable eventually, we will probably shuttle everyone to Mars. It’s just ridiculous to criticize when you don’t even know what you are talking about. NASA rocks and always will. We set the standard and always will. Unless Trump is elected, then we crash and burn completely and become a closed off authoritarian state. Long live democracy, NASA and the USA!
This App is great ! Theres more than Bunnies in those clouds!!

Sometimes i just like to relax and let my Pareidolia run wild ! Take a look at image 2014, turn the image 90 degrees clockwise and look in the top left corner. If you see a Mars Bar, you have 'Chocodolia ' but if you see a beautifully crafted cloud that looks like a bit of a pixieish , impish, face looking to the left... well, thats not Pareidolia - that face is really there! At least until the A.I. removes or changes it. Since we all know that there are no Bunnies in clouds and no one is crafting alien faces in the clouds; this must be an act of God. Is the Elf checking if our star is about to angrily turn on Gaia ? I look at the clock, oops! It's almost 6,000 years and im gonna be late building my Ark!
