About
22 June 2018: FIXED DATA CONNECTION. The widget should now update normally.
Devices with limited memory (e.g. Vivoactive) may produce an error when starting the widget. I'll be working on this issue when I have a moment but please note that I am doing this as a hobby when I have time.
This widget displays information about upcoming SpaceX launches: date, countdown, rocket, payload, launch/landing locations and trajectory.
This helps plan for viewing launches and have information a few clicks away.
Upcoming feature: alert x days or x minutes before a launch.

Data source is external (https://github.com/r-spacex/SpaceX-API - thanks to the API developer!). There may be occasional issues with data accuracy or bugs. This is due to data source not being controlled by me. At time of app upload, it works on my Fenix 3 / D2 Charlie. If it fails for you, it's most likely due to data source change over time. I will fix the bug but it may take a few days - don't need to give a bad review yet, let me fix the eventual bug first. Contact me via email with link "Contact developer".
Note that I'm not a developer, just a sales guy focusing on clean energy who happens to be a huge SpaceX fan! I just do this for fun and share it for you guys/gals to use.

The widget home page lists future launches and provides a countdown to the next launch.
Press "Select" to enter detailed view for the next launch. To scroll through subsequent launches, press "Select" again.
Several information pages are available: Date, Rocket, Map and Trajectory, by pressing "up" and "down" buttons.
Press "Menu" to open a webpage on your mobile device to display more information about the selected launch.
The number on top (52 and 53 in the screenshots) is the flight count. I thought it would be good to reference flights with this number, also to show SpaceX track record!
