NASA article “New NASA App 2.0 Released for iPhone, iPod touch” announced that on Monday, May 21, 2012, the U.S. space agency released its newly improved free App for iPhone and iPod touch.
NASA states, “The NASA App 2.0 includes several new features and a completely redesigned user interface that improves the way people can explore and experience NASA content on their mobile devices.”
The App was designed by a NASA team at the Ames Reseach Center (Moffett Field, California).
The 4.7 million people who have so far downloaded the App should see a much faster and more intuitive interface for the updated version.
NASA states, “Other new features of NASA App 2.0 include weather forecasts in the spacecraft sighting opportunities section; maps, information and links to all of the NASA visitor centers; a section about NASA's programs, as well as the ability to print, save and access favorite items, and bookmark images.”
However, the NASA App 2.0 requires iOS 5.0 or later. Page two concludes with further information on the free new App from NASA, along where you can go to download it to your mobile device.
Jerry Colon, who is NASA’s App project manager at Ames, stated, “This is our first major redesign of the NASA App for iPhone since our initial release in 2009. We are really excited about this release and think users are going to love the new interface and features."
NASA concluded with: “All of the NASA Apps for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android showcase a wealth of NASA content, including thousands of images, videos on-demand, live streaming of NASA Television, the agency's Third Rock online radio station, mission and launch information, featured content, stories and breaking news.”
And, “Users also can find sighting opportunities for the International Space Station and track the position of the orbiting laboratory. App users also easily can share NASA content with their friends and followers on Facebook, Twitter or via email. In total, the apps have been downloaded by more than 8.8 million people.”
