Pocket Rocket

Performance is extremely bad. 2 fps maybe

Developer needs to focus on reducing app size and improve speed of the app. 300+ mb is insane for what the app does and not everyone has the luxury of memory space so constantly having to redownload on a limited data plan is frustrating and makes the app less functional for us

Please fix this poorly developed app

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!

You call yourself a pocket rocket! Can't even get me off at the right time!

It looks beautiful. The AR is brilliant. Access to a lot of great information. But… For me, the notifications are unreliable, at best. I generally get the T-24h, and T-1h, but notifications about schedule changes are usually too late to be useful. I do realize that last-minute changes can’t be pushed out instantly, but it’s usually long enough that it’s not helpful. Not sure if it’s an App Store developer issue… The timeline feature, while it looks beautiful, doesn’t provide up-to-date information. It’s currently telling me that the next Falcon 9 launch is on January 31st, which is a week ago. Maybe we don’t know when it’s been rescheduled for? But update the timeline to reflect that. I’d rather have sent this and screenshots in an email, but the developer support site seems to be down and the website just redirects to the App Store…

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!

I love this app. The AR is really well done and looks amazing. I love how it gives a countdown so i know exactly when it starts. The only thing I would like to see in the future would be more missions like rocket lab or starship events. other tgan that its an amazing app.

Don’t buy this app! While the app itself may be useful, it won’t even work until you sign up for a free trial of Plus and then agree to pay $0.99 per month forever. This is not disclosed until after you have paid $3.99 for the app! False advertising and certainly not how Apple operates!

Some small UI issues and missing information But the overall experience is great.
