App Store Pearls: T-Minus takes your iPhone into space

Every day we do a tour of the internet for you to find the best apps in the App Store for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. Today OMT editor Dunke van Boekel brings you closer to the stars. Or well, T-Minus does.

Space has a special kind of appeal. While there is still plenty about our Earth that we don’t know yet, billions of dollars are being invested in exploring what goes on beyond our atmosphere. Do you want to know more about the world of space travel? The App Store Pearl T-Minus for your iPhone has it all.

An App Store Pearl of otherworldly proportions

Over the years, we as humanity have shot an awful lot of junk into space. For now, it doesn’t look like we’re going to stop doing that. T-Minus on your iPhone keeps track of what companies like SpaceX, NASA and the like are actually up to.

Via T-Minus you can watch the latest launches live (if they are streamed), but also the 6,500 operations before that. And when such a new launch takes place, the App Store Pearl sends a notification to your iPhone. Perfect if you want to watch rocket launches more often.

But it doesn’t stop there for T-Minus. The app is packed with extra information about everything related to space travel. From astronauts to starships; there is an awful lot to discover through this App Store Pearl for the iPhone. As an extra reason to come and have a look every day, you also get a Patch Trading Card when you log in.

T-Minus, plus something extra on your iPhone

For convenience, you also don’t have to open the App Store Pearl on your iPhone every time you want to know when the next launch is. T-Minus has a handy widget that lets you see on your home screen when you need to get the popcorn.

So T-Minus is ideal for both avid followers of space travel and those who just want to watch a launch every now and then on their iPhone.
