Beautiful!
Wasn't let-down with this app! Beautiful integration with the iPod/iPhone. One of those you will use to show your friends how great the device is, and it's good to bring back interest in the space program. Kudos for a great launch!
Good job NASA

This app doesn't work with iPod touch. When it said iPhone app, it means iPhone only. It will can not use WIFI at all
It's ok
Get "Nasa News - Live Nasa TV!" to stream LIVE Nasa TV on your phone.
Limited functionality
I was disappointed in NASA's iPhone app. Not only was it not up to date, as was advertised, but its information was extremely limited.
One major feature is missing. Where is NASA TV?
No NASA TV link? Lame.

I was excited to see this in the App Store, but seriously disappointed that there is no function for watching NASA TV. How lame is that? I can browse the NASA site and find all the information I want on my desktop (although NASA TV no longer works with Snow Leopard), but how the iPhone app would be most usefull is when I'm away from my desktop machine and want to see a launch. I'll stick with Space Geek ($1.99 at the app store) which has a button for NASA TV and does a great job of letting you watch a LIVE STREAM. NASA is an outstanding agency that constantly blows me away, but its a NO GO for this launch!
Outstanding application!

Absolutely love this application! All of the great NASA mission information, countdown clocks and the ISS and other trackers. It’s also great to have all of the NASA & Astronomy images there and easy to browse. The videos and twitter feeds are great too. Also love that I can email and share stuff with others. Can’t wait for future versions and more features (how about visible path times using the GPS on the phone and NASA TV streaming). Keep up the great work!!!

Excellent job
This app seems well thought out. You can even save images to your iPhones camera roll. Small details like that go a long way.
Just a wee bit more

Version: 1.0
This is a great start for NASA's iPhone app, already you can learn about lots of NASA's missions and projects, see 50 videos, over 1,300 NASA spaceflight images, and over 5,200 beautiful Astronomy Picture of the Day images. This is a great educational tool & a great way for anyone to learn more about the space program.
Great app!

Can you stream Nasa Tv from the app much like CNN streams live tv. that would make it perfect. still 5 stars because it's a great app.
Fills media issues; no TV
By:

Version: 1.0
Many iPhone users know the pain of using the official NASA home pages, which are mainly Flash-operated and don't work with MobileSafari. This app all but fixes that issue. While the app is a bit heavy on the style over substance line in the opening menu, it's ability to give access to NASA's image and video content is spot-on. The only downside is a lack of a connection to the NASA TV stream. While there is a site I know of to get the TV stream for the iPhone, I would give this fine app its fifth star if streaming were built-in. Nice work!

This was worth waiting for. Perfectly organized. Don't miss the Search and Filter functions. Thank you, NASA!
not bad for a first outing
Content and layout are nice, default mission selection/filter is a little unusually focused (Odyssey??? Express???). Mission and icon/graphic "hooks" could be improved - the mission names and satellite images all blur together to those who don't know NASA's programs, subcaptions telling what the missions *achieve* would help. Hoping that the framework is used eventually to go beyond just a "push more content out to people" tool, and add features that engage the public two-way. User surveys, quizzes (ala the NASA web site), live overpass spotting or push notification (mentioned by others here), etc are options. Also could bring in the earth-focused angle by crowdsourcing - have folks submit (tagged with GPS) live reports of weather, severe weather, disasters, fires, even climate (first bloom of plant types, etc). Get the public - especially kids - interacting with NASA, not just being consumers ...
Good job NASA!

Great app! Keep up the good work....our tax dollars at work!
Looks great!
Fabulous images & vids and love the filtering feature. It works on both iPhone & iPod Touch 3.x and the keyword search is awesome!!!
Not bad, but missing ground viewing opportunities and other features
By:

Would be a perfect app if they used GPS to know your location and showed you when a satellite/vehicle was viewable from your location. Other 3rd party apps have this.
Also could have augmented reality feature where if I point my iPhone to a passing satellite, it projects its name, info, etc. Kind of like urban spoon or yelp! does with restaurants.
Some buttons at the top are too close together.
But a nice first attempt at an app from NASA.
Amazing
