This one slick app. If u like NASA stuff this is the app to have.

Accuracy questionable

First few launches was dead on perfect. Last two for Sts 130 and goes p launches have been slow updating after delays.

Awesome App!!!

I was at the launch of STS-131 (Discovery) and this app had the count to the EXACT SECOND!!!

Not accurate

Cool to see the procedures listed in order but it was 13 seconds ahead on the launch I watched.

Excellent - spot on!

Used this app today for the STS-132 launch watching from the bank of the Indian River in Titusville. The countdown was within a second of perfect - its a bit hard to tell the exact moment of liftoff that far away. I called out the countdown for the folks near me - they were impressed at the nearly perfect timing and the other pieces of information being supplied. This $5 really enhanced the launch experience for 30-40 people. Nice work by this developer. Thanks!

Go at throttle up!

Ive been using this app for a few weeks prior to the launch of STS-132. I attended the STS-132 tweetup which allowed participants to tour KSC a day prior to launch. On our tour bus, I happened to sit behind the developer of this app who you could tell was very passionate about this project. I enjoyed meeting him and learning more about his wonderful app. Great UI and it even offers push notifications. This is a must-have for any space geek.

Mission Clock Rocks

If you love NASA and all things rockets, you will really enjoy Mission Clock. It pops up and give you launch and countdown details, real time! Very, very cool!

Superb - Best $5 Youll Spend on Any App

I purchased MissionClock prior to traveling to Florida to see my first shuttle launch: the STS-130 Endeavour launch in February 2010. I was hesitant to spend $5 on the app but after I did and used it to follow along with the countdown clock I realized it was the best $5 Ive ever spent for an app. If you are a space launch junkie, get this app. You wont regret it!

Awesome update!

Mission Clock was always a great app, it is much faster now. Good job by the developer, keep it up!

Absolutely amazing!!!!

This app is totally awesome! So much detailed information on every current, future and past missions. Love the UI and accuracy of the countdowns. I highly recommend this app to all space enthusiasts!

When it works it

The software crashes constantly, even after the update that fixed the crashing. I dont have any app on my device that crashes this often. That said the information it displays is great. Why all the crashing, why cant this be fixed. I was at the STS133 launch and many people asked for the name of the app that I had on my phone. I could not recommend it , as when I went to start it it crashed 5 times in a row before actually starting. Some demo huh. For $5 this really should work but it doesnt most of the time. To the developer Please fix the crashing as you said you had in the last update!!!

Most important part is broken!

Changing the mission with which the clock part of the app is assocoated is highly non-intuitive. Other than that, when you can baeat it into showing the clock you want, its pretty cool. The countdown event view is nice.

Great app, live updates

This app is well maintained and updates come down often. I was sitting in a hotel room last night and to my surprise a notification that the shuttle was landing popped up on my screen so I watched the last 25 mins of the landing live. Many other good features but its really too much to type

Great app.

Overall this app is excellent, and gives updates right when they are released via a nice alert system. Everything is very clear & easy to follow. Im very happy with it.

I have been interested in NASA my whole life this app keeps up with everything I hope they update soon I also think NASA will find a way to the app going

A must have for any space or tech enthusiast

This application provides up to date information for manned and unmanned rocket launches from across the globe. Where information is available each step in the launch sequence. For example during the shuttle program the countdown for auto sequence start (where the handoff is made from the ground conputers to the space shuttle to control the countdown) happens at 31 seconds prior to liftoff also has it own countdown. Going forward this information may not be as available with commercial companies as with NASA but Im sure the developer will give his best attempt. It also includes many features that help keep information as up to date as possible like getting the exact time an date from servers on the Internet using NTP. It includes push alerts so you dont have to be in the app to see important data such as a lunch delays as soon as the information is published. It is obvious the developer puts a lot of time and effort into this application but not just for the initial release but updates regularly when any kind of bugs are found. The developer is also extremely helpful and responsive with any kind of issues. (No this is not a paid or sponsored review, just a happy customer)

Great detail. Its been stable for me.

General tip for all apps if youre seeing app crashes, update your iOS. I havent seen crashes with this app, and I keep iOS up to date. Ive been showing some NASA TV to my daughter, and she is fascinated with the missions and how they do work on the ISS. This app brings another level of detail, with the event listings and times of each event for each mission. The info is updated regularly. Its great that some recent past missions are listed too. The information seems pretty technical, obviously with some NASA jargon, but its actually fun to see that. One great thing is the push notifications for major events. If theres a scrub or other big news it alerts you even if you arent running the app at the time. Contrary to what one review stated, this app is definitely tracking all the major launches.

Excellent if you love space!

This app is great! It follows the entire mission from fueling to landing. Everything is monitored in real time and it will even send you alerts to the launches you follow. Its worth every penny!

Please update for iPhone 5!

This is an awesome app, I just wish it supported the iPhone 5 screen, please update!

Great app lacking an update

Overall a great app. I live in Central Florida and routinely use this app to track the launch schedule before going outside to watch the rockets streak across the sky. Noticed some launches slightly off or missing lately. Also desperately needs to be upgraded to support the iPhone 5 resolution.
