User Reviews

Users liked the simple design and fun concept to monitor astronauts in space, but the app is largely broken and outdated. It often shows a blank screen or crashes, and data is not updated promptly or accurately (ISS-only counts, missing Chinese astronauts, incorrect bios, and time-in-space issues). Notifications don’t work. The app appears abandoned by the developer, leading to stale content and broken functionality.

Pros

Simple, clean, easy-to-use design.
Fun and engaging concept to see who is in space.
Core feature provides a quick snapshot of how many people are in space (and astronaut bios).

Cons

App frequently crashes or shows a blank screen, making it non-functional.
Not updated for years; appears abandoned, with outdated or stale data.
Data accuracy issues: counts and statuses are inconsistent (e.g., ISS-only counts, missing Chinese astronauts, incorrect bios, misrepresented time in space).
Notifications don’t work or are not updated when the space roster changes.

Recent reviews

It use to be a simple and easy app, but now it doesn’t work. It’s blank and shows no text, just a photo of the earth. If you press around on the screen, the keyboard pops up and will not go away no matter what you do. It covers 3/4ths of the screen, which is still, of course, blank.
