Summary
Hey there, another release of plugging in backend work and tiding up some code. I was pretty much forced to remove the Launch countdown timer. That widget was performing very poorly and I was unable to find a way to make it work more efficiently, the widget API's have not gotten any love from Google lately.
I will still be monitoring issues and as always feel free to report bugs on the Reddit release thread or at [email protected].

Space Launch Now
Version: 1.5.7.222
Summary
Hey there, just adding a simple often requested feature. Nearly every month there are a slew of TBD launches with no confirmed date that are 'No Go'. Added a quick and dirty way to hide 'No-Go' launches. I will revisit this soon and add a 'Hide TBD' because if a launch is scrubbed for the day it will disappear off the page until a new confirmed date is set. On another note, there is a new repository where I have begun work on a back end server for providing additional data follow Space Launch Now - Server for updates.
And lastly, thanks to those that have reached out my daughters health condition. She is currently recovering from a full liver transplant and doing much better now. Development may still be slowed due to life being a bit crazy and trying to maintain a day job.
I will still be monitoring issues and as always feel free to report bugs on the Reddit release thread or at [email protected].
Roadmap
Check the roadmap on Trello for what's going on. Currently planning handling some technical debt and bringing calendar support back, it's nearly done so this release should be relatively quick.

Version: 1.5.5.207
Summary
Unfortunately the countdown widget was causing performance issues for some users, fairly certain it's fixed but let me know if you have slowness in your app launcher. This release I added some ananymous analytic tracking to show myself what features were popular and which ones were not. This will help inform me on planning a UI overhaul I plan on doing for a 2.0 version.

Version: 1.5.2.179
Summary
This release brings a fresh update to the Android Wear watch face that includes dynamically loaded backgrounds when images of the launch vehicle are available. I have also included some settings that allow users to adjust the blur settings to get some really wonderful looking backgrounds regardless of color scheme.
I also took a look at widgets this release and pushed a few improvements, it's still not the best functional widgets but I will be continually fixing and improving the widgets in the next release. Customization of the widget's appearance is high on my ToDo list.
