Fixed bug
Rocketeers,
We’re looking forward to some sunny spring days ahead and want to make sure your daily commute is even more rewarding. This update introduces a way to claim Rocketman Rewards promo codes in-app. Look out for these promo codes in the wild and sign-up for Rocketman Rewards today.

Hope you’re getting ready for spring — we are! This update includes tools in the background to help welcome new users and some patching-up of bugs.

We’re adding in some extra space to our Polls to get you even more Rewards for answering questions — lookout for them! This update also includes a little housekeeping around logging in and we’ve updated some of the deeplinking behaviour.

Rocketman Rewards is officially in orbit and is now available to all users! This launch is the first small step in our giant leap to create a fun and, dare we say it, “rewarding” transit app experience. Look for polls throughout the app or directly in the new Rewards tab. Over time we plan to add more craziness, so keep an eye out for new ways to earn and new rewards to unlock. And please send any us any feedback along the way!

Rocketeers,
We’ve got a few fixes in for this release — mostly around our Rocketman Rewards launch and some backend improvements. We’re getting closer to releasing Rewards to everyone on the waitlist — so if you haven't joined yet you're definitely missing out! Sign-up for the waitlist in the app, or at https://bit.ly/2YT5hSG.
Happy Commuting,

Hey Rocketeers,
Hopefully, you've all had a great summer and are now ready for... not the summer..?
Anyways, nothing major to report. Just a couple of bug fixes and some groundwork for a super top-secret, massive new feature we are preparing.
Hint: It rhymes with Brocketman Brewards.

Hey Rocketeers,
We've got some big updates coming..! *excited face*
As a stepping stone to that, we've added Rocketman accounts; now, you can sign in using Google, Facebook, or Apple to save your favourites. If you have multiple devices or are changing phones, you can sync your app setup across them.
Let us know what you think at support@rocketmanapp.com... and stay tuned for our next big thing, coming soon...

Hey Rocketeers,
Some of you may have seen a loss of real-time predictions in Toronto (and other NextBus cities). Due to some unexpected feed changes, you'll need to update your app to restore real-time service.
Let us know if you're still having issues at support@rocketmanapp.com.

Hey Rocketeers,
So... we may have introduced a teeny, tiny bug... we're quickly sending a patch out, so hopefully, no one realizes ?? ?
If you had any issues with your favourites, we apologize, and this update should resolve the problem. If it persists, please email us at support@rocketmanapp.com.

Just a couple quick bug fixes. Future updates will be more exciting, we promise.

Hey Rocketeers,
The rocketman team has put together an easter egg to find (if you can); we call it "puppy mode"!
Hint: You'll have to "track" it down...
If you figure it out and like it or have any ideas for things you'd like to see in there, email us at support@rocketmanapp.com.
Good luck!

Hey Rocketeers,
We hope you are all having a safe holiday season. This year has undoubtedly been different than any other.
Our team has done a couple of bug fixes, as well as improved our in-app web experience. Hopefully, this means it's easier for you to read and interact with the content our team has been adding to Discover! If you have any ideas for things you'd like to see in there, email us at support@rocketmanapp.com.
Happy Holidays!
Hey Rocketeers,
Just a hotfix here to help make sure your load times are as quick as possible. This update should make things like browsing Discover lightyears faster. ?

Hey Rocketeers,
No major updates here - just spent the last little while catching up on minor bugs that snuck through. If you've noticed any glitches within the app, please let us know at support@rocketmanapp.com, and we'll fix it up.

Hey Rocketeers,
We hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving ? ? .
We've spent the last two weeks fixing up little pesky bugs that have snuck into the app. Most notably, we've added, we hope ??, full translations in the app across French and Chinese (simplified/traditional). If you speak either of those languages, please check it out and message us if anything is incorrect or missing! (support@rocketmanapp.com)

Hey Rocketeers,
In this release, you should find our sleek and sexy new splash screen. Also, if you'd like to use Rocketman in other languages, we've just improved our language support in French, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. We are continuing to improve our translations, so if you find any mistakes or want any additional languages, please email us at support@rocketmanapp.com.

Hey Rocketeers,
In this release, we have beefed up our support of the Track feature (click a stop then press the "Track" button). We've updated the bus icon to something a bit easier to read and fixed a whole whack of bugs on this screen. If you love it or hate it, or just wanna chat, shoot us an email as support@rocketmanapp.com.

Hey Rocketeers,
In our continued support of making your commutes safer, we are happy to announce Crowdedness 2.0. With so much great help from you all to support the "Report Crowdedness" feature, we've doubled down and integrated it into the app. Now it'll be easier to report what is going on with your route and view other users' reports.
If you have any other ideas about how we can help, please send us an email to support@rocketmanapp.com.

Hey Rocketeers,

Hey Rocketeers,
To help support public safety and do our part, we will be piloting a new feature in select regions that allows users to report how the crowdedness of their vehicles. This information will be passed back to users in alerts to help you avoid overcrowded routes. If you have other ideas on how Rocketman can help, please email support@rocketmanapp.com.
We hope you are all safe.

Hey Rocketeers,
We hope that you are all staying as safe as possible in these uncertain times.
This update has a whole whack of bug fixes - working from our couches and not mission control has given us a lot more time for bug hunting in our pyjamas.
We're also looking for other ways we can help out the community right now. If you have any other ideas or you need a hand, please feel free to email us at support@rocketmanapp.com, and we can see what we can do.
We love you guys,

Hey commuters, some massive updates to make the app pretty (... and work better):
(1) We've smashed a bunch of bugs
(2) We've fixed our widget!
(3) Added dark mode
Some of you lucky users might also get to see our newest beta features, which are user-reported alerts and internal ratings prompts.
Enjoy! ?
Hey Commuters,
Spring isn’t yet here, but we’ve broken out our fly-swatters to squash some bugs. There won’t be any visible changes, so our hope with this one is your phone auto-updates, and you have no idea we even sent you this.
If you took the time to read this, email support@rocketmanapp.com, we’d love to chat.

Hello Commuters,
We hope you are having an excellent holiday season. In this release, we have overhauled the Favourites logic. Routes travelling different directions will now be grouped separately and we have corrected a number of other bugs related to your Favourites.
A couple of other changes:
- We’ve added more vehicles to the Track view so users can more easily locate their approaching bus, streetcar, etc.
- We’ve added the alert icon to the widget
See you in 2020!
Hello Commuters!
We have a few updates for you:
- We’re now displaying more vehicles in the ‘Track’ view for users that like to time their commute based on vehicle location on the map
- If stops in your widget are being affected by a delay you will now see an alert icon.
- If you go to settings you’ll see a button called ‘Request a Feature’. Here you can check out our roadmap and let us know what you want us to build next!
As always, thank you for riding this rocketship with us!

verb
1) When TTC real-time data feed goes down for 5 days straight and every transit user in Toronto is scrolling the app store frantically looking for something that works causing a huge influx of users joining the Rocketman Family.
Solution
Download Rocketman version 4.7.2 from the app store which:
- Optimizes performance to accommodate our growing user base
- Takes advantage of the new horsepower we have added under the hood

Hey City Explorers!
Long time no speak but this update will make up for all of that:

The new alerts now show on the specific stop & route they are affecting as well as the alerts tab. Now you can get all your information from one place! We also upgraded our alert source for faster and more accurate alerts.
Underground, not under-a-rock
You may have already noticed but we have added support for subway with real-time alerts and arrival times!
