Love the app but menu problems?

Love the app. It’s arguable the best one I’ve found that offers what it does. Earlier versions had a problem when selecting the menu (in top left) and then seeing no text / description for any of the options. This was fixed in an update, but I noticed recently (even with this newest update today) that the problem seems to be back. Clicking at random will open the NASA tv, recorded videos, etc., with no problems ... but it’s just guessing as everything is blacked out / there is no text. I can’t be the only one experiencing this, can I? It’s the only thing that has prevented me from updating to the ad-free version. Not complaining (too much). Just wanted to point out in case the issue was unknown. Thanks.

Top notch App

I use this app all the time and the upgrade looks great. Reminds me of the old days when app creators paid attention to things that were important and didn’t charge you an arm and leg. To me this app is much more intuitive than the same feed on Nasa’s app, starting with having the video feed and location of the ISS on the same page. The only thing I didn’t like about this app was the forced recentering of the ISS Icon on the page when moving away from it to see its future path. I think that’s been addressed as an option now so that’s great. As far as the feed itself, thats on NASA, not this app as far I know. But because 70% of the feed is of the ocean and another 10% is of land covered in clouds, it is really frustrating to have another 10–15% a lost signal page. The oceans and clouds are part of the viewing experience that can’t be controlled watching live, but you would think a lost signal as consistent as the one on this feed wouldn’t be an issue of significance. Suffice to say it takes a lot of patience but to some of us I guess it’s worth it.

Always awesome NASA….

Wow that one review by the “person” who was laughing and insulting NASA without understanding at all what it takes to do what the USA has done longer and better than anyone else in the history of the human species and space exploration. The Russians, Chinese and anyone else have never been as advanced and done more, contributatively, physically and logically to advancing the human race. If that reviewer is an American he’s an idiot. If he’s from another country he is such an idiot, he doesn’t know the word idiot even means. And once again the USA is going to save the planet and the human race. If earth becomes uninhabitable eventually, we will probably shuttle everyone to Mars. It’s just ridiculous to criticize when you don’t even know what you are talking about. NASA rocks and always will. We set the standard and always will. Unless Trump is elected, then we crash and burn completely and become a closed off authoritarian state. Long live democracy, NASA and the USA!

Convenient issues at night

Black outs can happen because of “Transmission issues” and it’s “normal” to see nothing at night?! We do know you got lights up there and on other satellites you have connected to the ISS! 🤦‍♀️😂🤣 I thought you guys were brainiacs but clearly dumber than the rest of you all at NASA think we don’t know better! I hope NASA and the US government realize that half of the human population has already woken up to know we aren’t the only life to exist out of an infinite of planets. And that many ET crafts fuel up off of our sun. Half of us know that NASA blacks out the screen when their sensors go off and a ET craft is visible or when they can be more likely to become visible. That’s why they black out the screen when it’s night. NASA (Never A Straight Answer) really thinks that we don’t know what’s going on here? They really think we believe that the screen will show black at night because “that’s normal”, and has nothing to do with the fact that they’re hiding ET activity? 🤣We aren’t as dumb as you think NASA! #ISupportFullDisclosure

Fantastic app but something I have to tell (devs please read)

So first off the camera quality is a little blurry it’s not the worse next is that I can’t watch spacewalk (recorded) and I understand that it’s space and cameras are blurry (idk if that’s true or not XD) so that’s probably why the camera quality is bad but apart from that its a good app! It is better then the fake videos that show live coverage that’s just photoshopped or whatever I trust you I don’t think these live cameras are photoshopped images (if they are photoshopped images you let me down) so if you have time to read this thank you for reading it. But question are you the ACTUAL NASA company? If you are that’s cool and sorry if this was a little long but I hope you read this! See ya

Where is the ISS?

The only reason I gave this app four stars is because it has only shown me where the space station is once in several openings of the app. It was absolutely fantastic for watching the live coverage of the Endeavor docking with the ISS and with the entry of Bob and Doug into it!! But I mainly wanted to track the ISS to see where it is so I can converse with my 7 year old grandson who is enamored with it! I need it to work. What is going on?! I’ve tried looking to see if there is some setting that I’m “missing” to no avail. Help!

None of the videos will work!!!

I’m not sure what’s going on with this app but ever since I switched to an iPhone and downloaded it I haven’t ever gotten any of the videos to work. It’s not that it’s temporarily not working like with a blue screen or whatever they aren’t working like an app defect. It just has a triangle with a line through it. It’s really making me mad! Also here’s a suggestion. You should make it to where you can look at both cameras at once-have it to where you can open 2 videos at once on top of each other. Also where you can see the path of the ISS like 5 different paths at once. Thank you! Oh and I’ve removed and reinstalled the app multiple times too, to no avail. That is why I’m giving it this review because there is nothing left for me to do. I’ve tried everything.

Awesomesauce For Real!!

I love that this is available at our finger tips at any time we like. Many accolades to the brains of it’s creation. You have kept my ridiculously short attention span longer than most of the woman in my lifetime. Even if it’s during the ISS “nighttime”, i still sometimes gaze in wonderment. THANK YOU to all who made this possible and much love, admiration, and respect to the astronauts and the staff behind them. TO THE MONEY MEN, KEEP THE CASH FLOWING TO THE SPACE PROGRAM!!!!!… Peace, love , health, and wealth to you all!!!!

Love it!

My favorite feature about this app is that you can track the telescope, and see what it sees at the same time. You can also take pictures of what you see on the telescope, I also really enjoy that feature! Another really helpful feature is where it tells you when the sun is going to rise. Overall I really love this app, and I actually use it for some of my classes to.

Cameras not available

Normally this app would have gotten a 5 star rating from me, but the cameras - whether HD, SD or NASA option - haven’t worked at all for several days. My two brothers with androids can still see the cameras but myself and my younger brother with iPhones, cannot. Not sure if there was an update which changed things? The website states the last update was a year ago. Very disappointed, especially since the station has been visible several times lately.

I thought it would be interesting

I love the idea of watching the ISS.. when it’s working it’s great! I gave it a extra star in hopes that they fix the problems.1) More then half the time it shows nothing, the screen is black even if the ISS is in daytime. 2) a lot of time it doesn’t even show where the ISS is at. Those are my 2 pet peeves.. the first one really ticks me off. You fix that problem I’ll give you 5 stars. Thank you

Great!....until recently.

I’ve been using and enjoying the app for a while now, but recently the HD and SD camera buttons have been cut in half by the camera picture making it so I can’t tap either HD or SD button to switch camera views. It’s making me nuts! I loved being able to view inside of the ISS, but can’t since this glitch occurred. Please fix!

Best APP In the Universe

This is my favorite app out of everything I have. Any time during the day or night, I can see Earth FROM SPACE. I’ve heard astronauts work on the ISS using the cameras, I’ve seen Cyngus land FROM the perspective of the ISS, and I’ve seen hurricanes. All these things I hear in the news, I can see for myself on a daily basis. I check this app whenever I feel drained at work and it always inspires me to achieve more. Thanks NASA and JPL.

International Space station

I like to see where the space station is traveling. I try to get outside to observe when ever it is close to our location. It is interesting how close it actually seems would not be able to watch or see with out the information I see on this App. Thank you!

The Future: Now

As a Ph.D. In Applied Research, I have always enjoyed this App. I especially enjoy listening to the astronauts during their Maintenance spacewalks! The science and fellowship shared Amongst the crews demonstrates how we can all work together In Peace for the future and more profitable pursuits. There is hope for all of us, the world and our children. God bless the global space programs! Thank You! Dr Henderson

Live love and learn

This app is what kicked off my new found love of learning about space and everythi ng out side of our VP can atmosphere and my love hate relationship with meteorites . I believe God has a plan for all of us and we are supposed to love and help one another. .. I know I could do better. I wish life was longer, actually, I wish we never died .

We are definitely not alone!!!!

I wish your app didn’t only have snap shots, cause not if you had video, while you don’t catch UAP’s till the last minute then claim signal interference and shut your screen down, people like me would have gotten the video before you shut it down.. But I only got the snap shot instead. But that’s ok, like many like myself know the truth, so why keep trying to hide the truth!!! Make make sense!!!

Incredible, but camera screen should be bigger

It’s cool to see where the ISS is on the map, but I’d rather have the camera screen larger to better see the earth. Other than that, it’s so amazing seeing the earth from space, and the sunrises and sunsets and the best. Edit: just realized if you go landscape mode, the whole screen is the camera... 5 stars now

Exciting to see ISS

I was thrilled beyond words to witness the Space Station fly over my house. I was able to capture by my IPhone camera the station as it flew over own it’s way around the 🌎 world! Thank you all for your continued dedication to space exploration and ISS traveling 🧭 around our beautiful world 🌍 ❤️🙏 THANK YOU!!!!

Picture from space

I just realized that I could take a picture. I wasn’t sure what to do with the app, t thought it just showed the location of ISS and the view from there. Now I have a picture of the ocean from space. I Ike it. I’m on Bluetooth in a bad location, so i can only get connected occasionally.

Enjoyment

I find great enjoyment when checking in to see what is happening in space. When the astronauts are out of the craft it is thrilling to watch them work. I never thought of space travel much but I sure do enjoy it now. Rosemary Blake

Amazing

I have been extremely interested in our space program ever since discovering Mission ISS on the Oculus Quest and Oculus Go. I find it fascinating, and have learned so much as to what astronauts do, and their daily routines in outer space. It’s really neat to have this view of earth from the ISS. I almost feel like I am right there in the cupola.

Amazing Astronauts!

How beautiful our world is when seen from the ISS. The technology to even build and get this awesome wonder in space for many years defys normal thinking. Thank you for sharing your journeys in space and may you all stay safe❤️

Love this app

Some of the best things I like about this Apple stability to take photos from the ISS camera I like sending them to my computer and editing them I also like being able to track the ISS so that I have opportunities to see it and I like the other channels available like NASA TV and nighttime ISS etc. great app

Could be better

This is something I would enjoy looking at several times a day. But a few weeks ago you changed the camera angle and so much of what we’re trying to look at is blocked by the ISS itself. That is very frustrating. Also, I would like to see more night, flyovers of populated areas.

Interesting ...I’m watching a low budget film from 1963. People really believe your up there😂 You have yet to prove that. During the day you never see land and at night always over land😳🤯Come on ... you can do better than this with 🛰🎥🛰🎥🤣

Space station

I am a big fan. I started watching launches all the back to Mercury. Fast forward to watching the Space Station being built a piece at a time. And sharing the App with others so that they can watch it passing overhead. I enjoy being a space nerd.😀

Clever

It could be a bit more accurate of when the ISS passes by. It doesn’t match other apps on it’s accuracy. I gave it a five because on cleverness on the programming. I can expect in future iteration they would have it so you can line up with the object better.

NASA rocks!

I’ve had this application on many devices and each one is extremely helpful and fun to watch. The views are also available on the NASA channel on fire stick. I cannot wait tell the James Webb telescope is producing views of the beginning of the time 🇺🇸

We really impressed about them because the are awesomely teach us about many experiments and keep their health good condition.. let me know that you will add subtitles this App ISS. Thank for your awesome app! Bruce

Amchair Astronaut

The reason I love this ISS app is because we get live feed of the orbit of the earth. Also you can find out when it orbits over your home. This is as close to being an Astronaut as I will ever get. Safe travel to all of you aboard the ISS.

Envious landlubber

I greatly admire the amazing astronauts who live and work in the ISS. This app gives me the chance to see the astronauts living out my dream of seeing our beautiful Earth from space. I have this on my 10" tablet, which only makes it better. I watch for the ISS flyovers on clear evenings/nights as often as I can.

Livestream or Recorded? Poor Distinction!

•Some super interesting views of storm systems! •However, it’s not always apparent when one is watching a livestream or a recording or when that recording took place! •It should be obvious at a glance when one is watching a recording! (A major storm for instance) •LIVE should always be livestream unless changed in settings. It isn’t! •If livestream means a delay or blue screen at times for security reasons, so be it. BUT MAKE THAT DELAY CLEAR! •Further, the location shown, that I have seen at least sometimes, appears to differ from another APP which appears to update very frequently!

Strange craft?

I have seen & taken multiple photos of unexplained aerial phenomenon/ufo’s at different times of the day & night. Very inconvenient when nasa or iss cuts the live feed & puts on that “blue” screen. What are they hiding? If you’re lucky, you can get a few screen shots before they block you out.

Love this

I am obsessed with all things space so this app was super intriguing. Live that I can watch space live. The only thing that would make it better is more cameras to watch…. More views of space.

My review

My problem is on the map, there is a line supposedly showing WHERE the station is. The model doesn’t move so you don’t really know where it actually is. Night time it goes over cities but we can’t see them. I have seen it go over my house in north Florida and it’s gone in under a minute That’s fine, there are other cities to see.

The Final Frontier

Being able to zoom the camera in and out along with all the different angles I can choose from really feels like I am there floating around in space. It’s just AWESOME!! Can’t wait to see StarLiner land at White Sands…yippee!!

Shameful

The HD camera is horrible and I wonder if that’s the best that can be placed on the Station. Horrible ground views IF you can tune in when it’s operating somewhere besides over an ocean. The live camera views are crisp if you like starring at the Station structure for hours on end. It’s shameful if this is the best NASA and the JPL can offer to the tax paying public! I give it a weak 3 stars.

Don’t know what happened with this app used to be good

But now it’s all fuzzy, and the picture is unclear, so I am stopping using this app. Maybe they will fix the problem soon I hope.

Seeing the Earth Differently

I’m glad to witness the flight of these historic flights and the crews. One of the astronauts was crew member of the USS Parche which I too served on her as well. If only we could get along as well on earth as we do in space!

This is a very interesting scientific app that is cool!

I have another app that is similar to this. This app here is better. I like that it has NASA TV. But the feed that shows earth needs to be better. It’s good but it could be better. Do you want my real advice add more to it.

Amazing app

I’m a first grade teacher and use this app to show my students who is in the ISS and what they can see from space. It’s amazing to see their interest growing each time they see with “astronaut eyes”. Love this app!

My Fav ISS app!

Love the two live cameras. The app itself is free and the very occasional ads are not too intrusive. I rarely pay for "no ads" option if I don't have to, but I'm happy to support this app because it improved my quality of life so much :)

Description

See the Earth as the astronauts see it with a 24/7 video livestream from the International Space Station. If you like space or astronomy then you will love ISS Live Now. ISS Live Now gives you easy access to a live video feed of Earth from the International Space Station, which is orbiting about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the planet. The app provides an exciting experience marked by a thoughtful design. With ISS Live Now, you can view interesting live video streams directly from the International Space Station’s cameras. The app utilizes the native Google Map (ISS tracker), which allows you to follow the Space Station’s orbit around our planet. You can zoom, rotate, drag and tilt the map;. You will have these different sources of live video streaming, including: 1. Live HD Camera: Provides a high-resolution live view of Earth captured by EHDC cameras aboard the ISS. 2. Live standard camera: It shows a live stream of the Earth and, from time to time, details about the ISS (like tests, maintenance and communication with Earth). 3. NASA TV: The television service of the United States government agency NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). You can watch science and space documentaries, interview with scientists, astronauts, engineers and personalities such as Elon Musk. 4. NASA TV Media. 5. Spacewalk (recorded): Beautiful HD images of astronauts from cameras outside the ISS. 6. Inside the International Space Station: Take a video tour of each module inside the ISS, all explained by the astronauts. 7. Eventual channel: Temporary live cameras from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) and the SpaceX. 8. Launchpad Cameras: Enjoy 24/7 live streaming from launchpads located in various destinations. 9. ESA: Experience exclusive content with live feeds from the European Space Agency (ESA), offering a unique perspective on space exploration and scientific endeavors. You even have the option to be notified when the next sunset or sunrise will occur, allowing you to watch it live directly from the International Space Station. Note: When the ISS (International Space Station) is on the night side of Earth, the video image is black, which is normal. Sometimes, video is not available due to transmission issues, or because the crew is changing cameras. In such cases, you will usually have a blue or blank screen. In a few minutes the transmission should return, so, please be patient. This is not a problem with the app. X: @isslivenow - You can find news about the ISS, NASA, space, Earth and the video stream.
