Comments on Next Spaceflight for Android

★★★★★ Aaron Jones · Jul 8, 2026

This app is just fantastic! I'm no expert in rockets, science, for that matter rocket science lol But seriously. The NSF team has made learning about and understanding the world of space and all that it implies to be explained verbally and visually as well, making it fun and exciting to follow along in the very busy Space industry. They have all the information ready to be shared as it pertains to the company, rockets, payloads and flight path sims. Basically, they have all the data/info at hand

★★★★★ AN K · Jun 11, 2026

Next Spaceflight is the best app for space enthusiasts. It provides detailed and up-to-date information about upcoming rocket launches, space missions, satellite deployments, and major spaceflight events from around the world. The countdowns, launch schedules, mission details, and notifications are accurate and easy to follow. The app has a clean interface and makes it simple to stay informed about everything happening in space. Highly recommended for anyone interested in space exploration.

★☆☆☆☆ CHRIS CRAFT · May 18, 2026

I used to love this app to keep up to date. However it literally erases things on your calendar. I have repeatedly set up appointments in my calendar and it is getting erased. Over and over again. I am so sick and tired of it. If I don't update this review then you know it was definitely caused by this app. I literally can't make any plans anymore because my calendar is incredibly unreliable due to this app. Every time they change space flight plans it overrides everything and erases it.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Hall · Mar 21, 2026

Virtually impossible to filter out "undesirable" space agencies and locations. I *ONLY* want to know about launches from Florida (Kennedy Space Center ONLY; flights by NASA, SpaceX or Blue Origin ONLY). What do I get instead? Feed flooded with Russian and Chinese launches. I have tried filtering by agency AND location but still...polluted feed. FIX THIS PLEASE. Incredibly easy fix. You're either being lazy or being paid by Russian/Chinese space agencies to spam our feeds.

★★☆☆☆ Dan Arnold · May 26, 2026

Settings slide switches are the same color whether you slide them left or right. No indication whatsoever if you are turning things on or off. That's my first impression right from the get go. So I'll try and use the app, but I have no clue what is turned off and what is turned on.

★☆☆☆☆ Bob Baker · Apr 1, 2026

Doesn't do Launch time, only terminal, so when something delays launch, it just keeps going as if launch happened.
