Great app!

There’s so much going on in the world especially in space exploration and I’ll start by saying I’m very new to the obsession of everything space as I now have everything at my fingertips and constant amazing, fascinating and exciting things going on that it’s often impossible to know everything that’s going on unless you can just narrow it down and know what your reading is not photoshopped or old ness from years ago but someone shared it so everyone and you think it’s new or even factual at all. however this app Deff picks out the top stories and gives multiple articles along with giving you the option to comment and discuss them with others. You can rate each articles topic how you feel and continue to stay focused on what topics interest you much on the bottom of each article by pressing the plus and following the stories as they continue on. Over all, awesome app and haven’t had any issues with bugs or non working links. The app always updates and it’s the first thing I check everyday to see what’s new. Recommended to anyone who like myself wants to stay up to date without having to follow 50 different social media pages wondering if they’re true or false. 5 stars for this app!

The best of current astronomical topics at your fingertips

I rely heavily on this app to give me the latest in astronomical and astrophysical news from a multitude of different sources. It covers not only topics about the universe in general, its origins and future, but also about the elements within it, galaxies, supernovas, planets, pulsars, black holes and other phenomena. And, in its broad scope, it includes topics on space technology from a number of reputable publications. The only problem I have with it is that it unexpectedly freezes at times or kicks me out completely. Its last update was in October so the people in charge may need to do another soon. The app has just been updated. The only times a freeze or end of session seems to happen now are occasionally when I try to post an article to Tumblr.

Great New but Community Is Broken

I first downloaded this app probably 7ish years ago. I watched the news curation improve to a point where almost all the news was purely space related. I loved it. However, my favorite part was the community section. Everyday there was usually 6 new comments and at least 3 new posts. It was a very active, knowledgeable, and friendly community. At one point, I stopped using the app for a year. When I came back, I noticed more community posts… but most of posts were junk: people asking stupid questions, spam, and ads. Plus, the comments on the news was becoming less knowledgeable. Of course, this caused other members to leave and the community shrank. This was so disappointing I only glanced at the app every month. Now, the last community post was a week ago and was just reposting an article. I believe the spam and down trend of the community lead most of the original and dedicated community to leave. This lead to a decline in community, insight-fullness of comments, and overall app appeal. I believe this app can still be saved. The developers need to take a very active role in the community and try to rekindle the old years of this app. All this said, it is a great culmination of space news. It is less accurate than it used to be as less people vote on the news post. However, I am grateful that the developer(s) created this app as it was an amazing hub of scientific discussion. Please, take the time to improve it. Crack down on article reposts. Set community guidelines. Ban/kick users who spam. Actively seek out users that would benefit the community (the NASA discord channel for example).

We appreciate you taking the time to review our app! It's great to hear that the app is still supplying you with good space content after your years of dedicated use. The community function in apps can be a tricky thing to manage and we are working to ensure it is an informative, fun and safe place for users to comment and communicate. We strongly encourage you to use the block and report functions when you come across user generated content that is not appropriate.

The best selection of news about space — and related topics!! Kept up to date. Wide-ranging and interesting articles and videos, including much fro NASA. Occasionally stories are “fluff” (and you can rate them that way), but it’s easy to ignore them. Likewise, ads are frequent but are not obtrusive. Some redundancy is expected when articles are selected for a wide range of sources. And that way, you don’t miss any important news stories. Some of the videos are excellent — and almost all are worth watching — esp. Ask Ethan and NASA stuff. The biggest downside is the eye-rolls I get from my wife when I read to her articles I find to be exciting.

Thanks JP. We promise to keep making this app better, so you should expect more eye rolls in the future!
