Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The user-friendly interface, but very few customization options. Articles and reports come on white background color, making them resemble Wikipedia entries. |

It works just fine, although it takes quite a while to load content, including images and articles. |
Security9
It doesn't require online registration, the app only accesses location files on your phone. |
Battery7
Not a battery drainer if you read information about missions, but keep a charger near-by if you want to watch videos. |
Price9
It's free of charge, no ads or in-app purchases. |
Compatibility7
It requires Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
A useful app to stay up to date with NASA missions, news and tweets.
