Pocket Rocket 4+

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!

Developer Response ,

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.

Well done

This app looks good and runs very well. I have had the app for a couple months now. They update launches in real time. Even in the event of a scuttled launch as soon as it’s posted I get the update. I appreciate the effort and work associated with the team for this app. I have recommended to everyone I know is interested. Even my grandma enjoys this app. It’s simple and unique and well built.

Wow, thank you so much! We’re so glad you appreciate the continued effort. It’s not easy. And please give your grandma a hug for us! We appreciate her support too :’)

One of the best

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%
