L-Clock is an Android app that fetches data from NASA.gov and SpaceflightNow.com and creates a formatted list of upcoming rocket launches. Touch an item in the list to display the launch date/time and a countdown.
Currently in beta. There are a few obvious issues that will be fixed before v1.0.0, but the basic concept is mostly functional.
