Awesome Utility for the SpaceX Enthusiast!

Got tired of randomly checking the SpaceX website for advance notice of launch events, then came across Pocket Rocket. The app is really well thought out, and features countdown info, granular info on the boosters being used for launches, and even sends me push notifications when launches are eminent, so I never miss them. It’s also smart in that it tells me when launches are going to occur in *my* local time so I don’t have to even think about the time difference between where I live and whichever launch site is being used (Florida, California, etc.). And as a really nice touch the app features detailed AR models of all of SpaceX’s rockets so I can bring them into my reality to study up close and personal. This developer also implemented really smart use of widgets for the iPhone and iPad Home Screen. Really cool app and worth paying the subscription to get even more info. I recommend this app for any space enthusiast, but especially SpaceX enthusiasts. Well done!

Thanks so much, Bryan! We’re working on a big update that I think you’ll enjoy, but if you ever have any feedback or see any problems, don’t hesitate to send us an email from within the app in the future! We’d love to hear from you.

A beautiful, sleek design. Beautiful renders and a fun AR feature. While it currently only has 1 widget, it’s pretty spot on perfect and even if more get added can’t see myself changing from it. Testing against others for SN8, pocket rocket was the only app to give updates up until scrub, and starship is not even fully supported yet (I do have basic subscription for these notifications). Team is super responsive to questions/problems and you can see the amount of time and work that goes in. I do wish subscriptions were more cohesive, all features for $30-40 a year would draw more in than the current price tag. Bottom line, is pocket rocket worth what you can spend? 100%

This is a very well-crafted app and I commend the developers for their attention to detail. However, I see in some of the other reviews that y’all say that there’s only so much a team of people can do as launch details change. I think some of the other apps are using the same API because those update faster. Please consider using the best API so that the information is current. Your attractive widget isn’t that useful if the launch date is wrong!

Beautiful App / Poor Launch Alerts

I love this App. It’s beautiful, very Apple-esq and fun to play with. However, I’m giving it three stars because the humans in charge of schedules & alerts have driven me to rate this app. There’s a saying “garbage in / garbage out” and it applies here. The person in charge of inputting calendar data is constantly sending alerts apologizing for inaccurate schedules. I’d say 1/3 of the alerts are “correction” alerts.Let’s retrain this employee and have them input / update rocket schedules correctly the first time. I’ll gladly give this app a solid five star rating if I can go a year w/o receiving and “oops” alert.

Developer Response
Hey, thanks for the feedback. We’re doing our best here, but we are just humans after all. The launch dates change without warning and we realize this after the fact, on the occasion. You’re welcome to send us feedback directly through the app that can help us get better. Cheers.
