# rockit
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](https://thespacedevs.com/).
If you just want to try it out quickly, you can open [the web version](https://rockit.010.one/). 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](https://f-droid.org/docs/Anti-Features/) as defined by F-Droid: this app connects to [Non-Free Network Services](https://f-droid.org/docs/Anti-Features/#NonFreeNet) because it needs to get launch data.
### Credits
All data this app uses is curated by [The Space Devs](https://thespacedevs.com/). This app uses the [Launch Library 2](https://thespacedevs.com/llapi) and [Spaceflight News](https://thespacedevs.com/snapi) APIs.
