No. Flights and voyages run on a real clock, not on the app being in front of you. Close it, lock the phone, come back tomorrow: everything that was due lands while you are away, and the first screen you see says what happened. If you want to watch, MENU › Settings › Keep screen on in flight stops the phone dimming mid-launch.
CONTROL lists, for the rocket in front of you, only the jobs it can fly. The rest of the board is in ALL JOBS, where a job needs a rocket with the reach to get there, enough payload for what it carries, a pad at the right level, and sometimes a crew or a research node; only one of those is money. Each card says the one change that would let you fly it. A job that puts down on a surface also needs a rocket with landing legs, which not every design has.
It should never be. At least one job on the board is always something you can fly with what you own right now, whatever your money and whatever your fleet. If you are looking at four you cannot touch, that is a bug and we would like to hear about it with a screenshot.
Open FLEET. Ready now lists every rocket and ship standing idle, and a rocket's row says how many missions it can fly. A ship marked holding off has arrived where every berth is taken and is waiting for one; a place that keeps ships waiting needs another berth, bought on its card in MAP.
Install the app, sign in to the same Apple Account, and open it. A second copy of your company lives in your own iCloud and the newer copy wins, so the new phone picks up where the old one left off. If you had turned MENU › Settings › Cloud save off, there is no copy to restore and the company stays on the phone it was on.
MENU › Settings › How to play › Show plays them again from the first one. They also stop appearing once read, so this is the only way back to them.
MENU › Settings › Larger text makes text, buttons and icons about a third bigger on every screen. The game is drawn in a pixel face at fixed sizes, so this is the control rather than the system text size.
There are three, and they are separate: a flight landing, a ship docking, and research finishing. Turn off the ones you do not want in MENU › Settings, or turn on Only the last one for a single note when everything that was out is in. They are scheduled on your phone, so turning them off stops them being made at all.
MENU › Settings › Start over › Reset, then Sure?. It gives you a new company from the first job and keeps your preferences on that screen. It cannot be undone, and if cloud save is on the reset company replaces the old one everywhere.
Please include the version from MENU › Settings › About, what you were doing, and whether it happens every time. A screenshot of the screen that is wrong is worth a great deal. If the app closed unexpectedly, Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements › Analytics Data on your iPhone contains a file beginning with MicroRockets; attaching it helps.
