Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic Rocket Launch App
If your looking for a FREE app to keeps you up to date for the upcoming launches no matter the location-this is it! The programmer is on it. While watching LIVE, 6 o’clock news, NextSpaceFlight notified me before the news casters said anything.
Another cool feature NextSpaceFlight has is the “watch live” feed. Just imagine watching a live launch in person but once the rocket is out of view, you can watch the rocket leave our atmosphere from your cellphone.
If your a rocket launch fan like me, this is the only app you’ll need. 👍🏽👍🏽
Beautiful Layout but Missing one Key feature
The layout and design of the app is beautiful. You can quickly see what launches are next and it gives a ton of information about each launch.
The only thing is that you can’t schedule it to notify you for specific launches. You either have the option of it notifying you for every launch or none. I want the ability to turn it on to notify for specific missions or even have it so that you can notify for certain companies or launch vehicles because the favorites are only for launch sites too.
Oh and a widget would be great so you don’t have to open the app to see what the next launches are. Besides that a great app
Couple major issues
There are a couple major issues that ruin this for me.
The first is that there is no dark mode icon for iOS 18. Their app icon is so simple that it would take less than 5 minutes to upload an appropriate dark mode icon but they have not. To me, this signals that they don’t care since they’ve had months to submit one. It seems like a small issue but it’s one of the only apps that doesn’t have a dark mode version on my phone and it means all notifications show up in light mode- very annoying and doesn’t match the system theme.
Slightly related to the first point, is the amount of notifications. There is no way, from what I can tell, to filter notifications to only show nearby launches. Only want to see the ones near me that I can see. I don’t need notifications all day every day for launches happening all over the planet. Let me filter notifications by the ones I actually want to see.
These two issues magnify each other since the spam of notifications show up on my feed every day in a light mode icon that doesn’t match all of the other iOS 18 dark mode icons.
Could be great but they cut corners in places that should be very simple basic features.
