1. 3/5Please! Bring Back AR Skyview Space Object Identifier

   Please make a button on the Home Screen to quickly navigate to the Augmented Reality (AR) SkyView iOS module. It seems to have disappeared with the latest major app upgrade. When I used it previously, I was floored at the level of detail and usefulness of that incredible feature in a prior version of the app. I was able to share with kids and neighbors where planets in our solar system were located in the night sky, which made me seem much smarter and interesting than I am! And it instantaneously helped many other space fans achieve a higher understanding of the amazing network of a vast, spectacular array of heavenly bodies right before our eyes… in real time! The NASA app is still my go-to when first waking up to set the tone for my day by putting life’s challenges in perspective. And I love seeing super high res images of our Earth and majesty of the universe.

2. 5/5Where is the live star map

   I don’t know where the live star map went on the app but I am extremely disappointed that it is not easily findable under any search terms that audiences might be familiar with. Nothing populated with searches like “live star map”, “Hubble star map”, or “star map”. This is incredibly frustrating and there is no place in the app for people used to the old layout to cross reference old titles of older widgets you used to have within the app. It’s completely different, with lots of cool stuff{!}, but I cannot find the map!!!! Update: I have changed my review to five stars bc the live sky map is now available again for users!! Yippeee

3. 4/5Bring Back The Missions

   I’ve used the NASA app for ever. And it’s always been my goto for information about current and past space missions. The latest update is very nice but they took away (or put it where I can’t find it) the missions section. I would go there to track where the latest mission was, or to look up upcoming missions. It was a terrific resource. And now it just seems to be gone. NASA please bring back the missions section in the app. UPDATE Thank you for your quick reply and app update. I appreciate that there is more access to some missions. But where are the older ones? I would like to be able to look up old missions, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Voyager, etc. The historical missions are well worth being able to look up as easily as the current ones. Keep up the good work.

4. 4/5It’s good for a government app, there is room for improvement.

   This app is decent when it comes to providing information and transparency for NASA, but don’t forget that it is a government app. There is room for improvement. They could start with integrating a feedback mechanism directly in the app instead of calling it “technical support”, which is a button that opens a simple form that can never be submitted by the default email handler. The form doesn’t check to make sure a human is submitting it. The online form works, but also has no system of checks or balances other than a character limit. That form does not present relevant articles prior to submitting it and it does not check to make sure a human is submitting it. There is a 250 character limit on that one, making it impossible to describe a problem. Feedback, both internal and external, can be an extremely useful and valuable tool to drive continuous improvement, but only if the culture recognizes this and has mechanisms in place to both filter and accept feedback. Hopefully there will be significant improvement in this regard, but it has been a problem for a very long time. Hopefully they can improve.

5. 5/5NASA has been my idol space agency and has driven my desire to see science fiction become reality.

   At 50 years old, I grew up in the second great era of our nations’s space agency. The time of that absolutely stunning and beautiful workhorse, “The Space Shuttle”. I fell fell in love with it, mourned with it and always believed in it. That technological marvel, lit the fire within me to believe that one day, maybe even in my lifetime, an average person would be able to reach the stars. Now many years later, I look back on it nostalgically and it makes me smile. I am excited to see what humanity’s future holds with NASA courageously pushing the unknown frontier. Being able to view the earth, from the ISS, which was put in orbit by the “Space Shuttle Program”, from my handheld touchscreen computer/communicator, while dictating to it as it responds to my queries, was 100% science-fiction when I was 12 years old. With out a doubt, NASA has continuously satisfied my inner desire, to see science-fiction, become reality! This app, being part of that system which makes it all possible, is more than just a link to a technological marvel. It’s a window, into a legacy of great minds, brave explores and heroes, that not only empowered our nation, but has empowered humankind. Thank you, to all The Trailblazers of the past, the present and the future; I can only imagine what the next 50 years is going to bring.
