Rock It! is an Android app that helps you stay informed on all things space. It displays upcoming launches and current space news curated by The Space Devs.

If you just want to try it out quickly, you can open the web version. Please note that it might not work on all browsers (depending on Flutter web support for that browser/version, blocker addons etc.). The experience in the Android app is much better.

Features

  • List upcoming launches and events (e.g. space station activity)
  • Show launch/event details and a countdown (including the date and time in your local timezone)
  • List latest space news articles
  • Subscribe to launches or events to receive notifications before the start or when times are updated
  • Search future events and launches
  • No internet? No problem! The app caches offline content for a few days and updates it when connected to the internet

Anti-Features

There's also one Anti-Feature as defined by F-Droid: this app connects to Non-Free Network Services because it needs to get launch data.

Credits

All data this app uses is curated by The Space Devs. This app uses the Launch Library 2 and Spaceflight News APIs.
