Great App!
Pam Pittman

A great tool for learning more about all the exciting things going on at NASA/Wallops Flight Facility.

Good app with room for improvement.

Displays basic information on missions out of Wallops. A must for viewing launches with a few good tools such as an arrow compass that always points towards Wallops & visibility maps. That being said a few things could be improved. There is a list of missions going out of wallops, but the aren't sorted by date of launch and all but two were past launches which isn't much help to me planing a trip. There should be more info on upcoming launches rather then launches from a year ago. The Wallops compass is also kind of buried in the launch data instead of being up front. Generally there just isn't much to the app. I feel like there should be more like a connection to the live stream and more charts & information. Maybe a tab on where to go to view a launch or even a launch day guide on how full each viewing area is. Not sure how they would go about that, but it would sure be helpful.

DOA

Doesn't really do much of anything. Skip it.

Great app

Awesome companion for launches. That is when a boat doesn't pass...

The app has developed a problem

I'm using the app on my iPad using iOS 9.3.2 and when I launch the app and click on "next mission" the app shuts down and closes.

Useless

Trying to get info on tonight's launch. No info on website as far as countdown. So downloaded app. Open app. App takes you back to website, dumb. Or takes you to FB or Twitter, if I go there, what's the point of the app. Wild goose chase. Deleted app.

When trying to grant permission for app to use compass, permission window pops up then app crashes. Tried to allow app to use compass via settings to no avail. Like the idea of app sorry it doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work.

Would like to use it but all it does is crash.

Worked well until recently

When the”direction “ button is selected, the app crashes. Content gets stale for some missions

Direction function crashes app on IOS 11.1

The two most important functions don’t work properly. The direction function crashes the app on IOS 11.1 and the visualization map does not display correctly when you turn the phone to view in landscape. Two stars for what basically amounts to a list of launch dates and links to Wallops social media.
