Pocket Rocket for Negative User Reviews
✓ A little sluggish, but very cool app!This runs slowly on my iPhone 7 Plus. I understand this is likely due to processing such high quality models, but it doesn’t feel polished from that angle. Might be nice to have a low quality mode, for slower devices. (My phone never acts slow in other apps—maybe this just needs better optimization?) Some UI stuff: hard to know when you can view certain rockets: e.g. can only see crew dragon on crew dragon launches, but can switch to other vehicles, like Starship, at any point..Version: 1.03
✓ Neat app, performs poorlyGood app. Lots of potential here. Wish it didn’t make my iPhone feel like the original Apple Watch..Version: 1.09.5
✓ Crashes on AR startI tried deleting and reinstalling but it still crashes when starting AR mode.Version: 1.09.6
✓ It’s a trapOn top of the $3.99 you pay to download the app, there’s still a need to subscribe to services for the app to fully work. I want my refund..Version: 1.0
✓ DisappointedI mean it gives me the AR experience but I thought the rocket would actually launch but it doesn’t it just shows me a video that I could have looked up on YouTube. I mainly downloaded this so I could see what these rockets look like in person and see what their size is like but I can’t find starship and not only did I pay $3.99 for the app now it’s wants me to subscribe? Just give me a section where I can pull up any SapceX rocket I want and see it in AR in my backyard. Thanks for the response. I’ll wait for the updates and check them out. I tried to look up the url you sent but I can’t copy and paste form here so I wrote it in by hand and it didn’t pull up anything. Tried a couple times..Version: 1.04
✓ Screw subscriptionsI’m a huge SpaceX fan. I watch all the launches and the idea of this app really excites me. Being able to play around with the rockets. I was fine with the 4$ price tag, especially to support app developers especially for this, but the app is essentially useless without paying a fee every month. Not worth it unless they get rid of the subscription plan..Version: 1.01
✓ Wanted to check out the AR but...Figured it'd be fun to spend what would otherwise be "large chocolate bar money" on seeing how tall a falcon rocket would be vs my house. Cause y'know, why not? But every time i try to jump into the AR mode, the whole app crashes? Using an regular iPhone 11 running iOS 14.3 (which i had just updated from 14.2 to check that wasn't the source of the problem). Please help me justify not giving in to my chocolate demons. They're screaming in protest, and i need something cool to show to them or they'll throw a coup..Version: 1.09.6
✓ DisappointingIt’s very disappointing to have paid for this app and have had numerous issues over the last year. Iphone 8+ and Ipad always updated and no problems with other apps and now they are pushing a monthly fee..Version: 1.09.3
✓ False notificationsFalse launch notifications are numerous . Time to delete. Don’t buy.Version: 1.07
✓ Not as good as it’s made out to be!Not user friendly, and the rockets in augmented reality not scaled right, overall 4$ not well spent!.Version: 1.02
✓ Inaccurate AlertsA well designed app that fails at the one thing I want it for the most: notifications. Just got an alert for an impending launch in five minutes, only to open it and have it show four days from now. I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten more false notifications than legitimate ones. I remember them saying something about SpaceX’s API changing or something, but if I can’t rely on the app to be accurate, not much point in having it on my phone..Version: 1.07
✓ Not with itIt’s nothing more than a glorified launch schedule.Version: 1.02
✓ Paid App Treated as Free AppI paid to download this app expecting to receive updates about launches. I got that. But you also want a second purchase through an in-app subscription. I literally received a push notification today saying, "we hope you enjoyed our complementary notifications." It wasn't complementary, the app was $2.99! Pick a pricing strategy and stick to it—either in-app or up-front, but not both. Also, don't use push notifications to advertise the subscription, pretty sure that is against App Store guidelines..Version: 1.05
✓ Not on time infoThis app is ok, if u don’t pay money for it. Otherwise, it’s junk. Always, missing info, alway incorrect on launches, yes, that’s a generalization, but every time you want correct info, I have to go somewhere else..Version: 1.05
✓ Very basic. Needs more.The only information given as to when an upcoming launch is to occur is a countdown clock in days and minutes decreasing as in a real countdown. What I think needs to be added is the date and time of the actual launch in day/month/year or a similar format. This then gives me an exact time and date so I can be sure to not book things at that time and I can watch on You Tube. Using just your countdown makes it hard to figure out the day and time of launch..Version: 1.05
✓ DownloadHow do I download the wallpapers?.Version: 1.09.6
✓ Not up to date.On April 14 it still lists Starlink 6 as scheduled for launch April 1. It was launched March 18..Version: 1.02
✓ Recent problemsThe app became unreliable with Upcoming launch updates. They simply stopped coming. Just missed another launch this morning. VR function is cool for about 30 minutes but the real value was knowing when the next launch is. Looking for a better app now..Version: 1.09
✓ Interesting, but silver & gold overpricedAn interesting app, but as with so many these days - tries to get too greedy. The silver and gold subscriptions are well overpriced. I would consider them at ( 1/10 ) of the cost. I find almost the whole Apple App Store broken now by incessant greed on the part of developers - too many wanting too much for subscriptions or whatever. So I won’t be subscribing..Version: 1.02
✓ Payment scam - don’t buy!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!.Version: 1.09.8
✓ Great UI—not really accessible thoughSwitch Control/VoiceOver can’t seem to see a lot of the UI elements in this app. :/.Version: 1.04
✓ Could be betterIt seems to work. But is expensive. The alerts show in EST. Which makes no sense to me in London in BST. It looks terrible on an iPad. I was also hoping for far more detail to justify the cost. With rockets from many more companies. Thanks Scott Manley for recommendation..Version: 1.02
✓ Pay for the right to pay again...?Garbage app. I have to pay and then pay again monthly? Developer had a smug response on Twitter too. Wish I could 0 star..Version: 1.09.4
✓ Awefull3.99 then they ask for a monthly subscription?.Version: 1.01
✓ Beautiful App / Poor Launch AlertsI 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..Version: 1.09.4
✓ No where near goodThe app malfunctions. Has few features. I bought it and would like it to do the simple task of notifying me when a launch is, but I have to pay an additional subscription fee. DO NOT BUY. Don’t be an idiot like me. Seen your update to me and ran all software updates. It still crashes worse than the Hindenburg. I have a modern iPad That I am running this on. Please get this stable. I don’t want more features. I want to see it run the ones I have without crashing..Version: 1.09.6
✓ Great for phone, but not for tablet.Cool app, but would like to see it work in landscape mode. Using on a tablet, but is really only good on a phone..Version: 1.02
✓ Does not let you choose library of rocketsA waste of $4. No menu options. Does not let you choose the rocket you want to see, such as Starship. You can only see rockets that have an upcoming launch. Dumb. On top of that, they want you to subscribe, more money, to personalize your notifications. I got suckered..Version: 1.01
✓ Bit basic. Not a lot of infoOk.Version: 1.02
✓ CrashWhy does it crash when i try to go to vr.Version: 1.09.6
✓ DisappointedAs of 5/31/20, I’m a bit disappointed in the lack of launch time info updates. U.I. is cool but I expected more information. Perhaps the U.I. is so cool that it is not functionally intuitive. I’m rethinking my purchase..Version: 1.05
✓ Not that useful yet?Not iPad support, no easy way to set scale to 1:1, unclear subscription model?.Version: 1.01
