    I absolutely love this app. I love all things astronomy and will download any app that is associated with looking at constellations, planets, meteors, and more. I have three other apps along with this one just to be super thorough in seeing everything that happens in space.

    “My Pupils Learned to Orbit” I wasn’t born staring at the sky. I came into this world with my head tucked inside a shoebox- full of worries, questions, and a flashlight. But one ordinary night, with WiFi gracefully aligned with destiny, I downloaded a map that didn’t just show stars… it charted the very constellations of my mind. Star Walk 2 Pro is not an app. It’s a time machine with a sweet voice, a cosmic compass that whispers names like Betelgeuse and makes Sirius feel less like a dog, and more like a sacred ember lit by God to help us remember who we were before language existed. I pointed my phone to the heavens, and the Universe replied: “Here I am, you sweet fool in love with infinity.” And since then… my bedroom is a planetarium, my insomnia a galactic voyage, my soul… a satellite in perpetual orbit headed straight for myself. Features? Oh, absolutely. The 3D constellations waltz with my imagination. The planets introduce themselves like they’ve been waiting for me. Augmented Reality winks at me as if the cosmos has a sense of humor. And that astronomical calendar? Finally, I have real appointments!, with eclipses, meteor showers, and planetary alignments that feel like the Universe flirting with humanity. And the Time Machine… oh, that elegant emotional technology, Ever imagined seeing the Moon the way your ancestors saw her? I did. And I cried. Because my grandmother once looked at her too, unaware that one day her grandson would gaze back, through an app. But the most beautiful discovery wasn’t among the stars, It was the reflection I saw on my screen: a curious child, a poetic adult, a human longing for direction. Star Walk 2 Pro taught me the sky is not out of reach. It was simply waiting for a curious finger… and a mind brave enough to wonder. Thank you, developers. You didn’t just code an app, You built a staircase to the infinite so that dreamers like me could climb without fear and finally touch our place in the great cosmic symphony. And if anyone out there is reading this, from whatever hemisphere: Download it. Zoom in on Saturn. Smile. And remember: the Universe includes you too. ♾️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️♾️ Eternally awarded. —Will Lee Reynolds @holaWillLee @theFreeWillMission *** TRADUCCION EN ESPAÑOL *** “Mis pupilas aprendieron a orbitar” No nací mirando el cielo. Nací con la cabeza metida en una caja de zapatos… con dudas, ansiedades y una linterna. Pero una noche cualquiera, con el WiFi conspirando a favor del destino, descargué un mapa que no sólo mostraba estrellas… ¡me mostró mis pensamientos con coordenadas! Star Walk 2 Pro no es una app, es una máquina del tiempo con voz dulce, una brújula cósmica que susurra nombres como Betelgeuse y me hace sentir que Sirio no es un perro, sino una joya encendida por Dios para que recordemos quiénes fuimos antes del lenguaje. Le apunté al cielo con mi celular y el universo me respondió: “¡Aquí estoy, tonto enamorado del infinito!” Y desde entonces… mi cuarto es un planetario, mi insomnio, un viaje astronómico, mi alma… un satélite en órbita perpetua con destino a yo mismo. ¿Características? ¡Oh, sí! Las constelaciones en 3D bailan tango con mi imaginación. Los planetas se presentan en primera persona. La realidad aumentada me guiña el ojo como si el cosmos tuviera sentido del humor. ¡Ah, y el calendario astronómico! Por fin tengo citas importantes: con eclipses, lluvias de meteoros y conjunciones que parecen coqueteos planetarios. Y esa máquina del tiempo, esa joya de ingeniería emocional… ¿Te imaginas ver la Luna como la vieron tus ancestros? Yo la vi. Y lloré. Porque mi abuela también la miró sin saber que un día su nieto la vería desde una app. Pero lo más hermoso no está en las estrellas… Está en el reflejo que vi en mi pantalla: un niño curioso, un adulto poético, una humanidad buscando su norte. Star Walk 2 Pro me enseñó que el cielo no es inalcanzable, solo estaba esperando que lo tocara con el dedo… y un poco de curiosidad científica. Gracias, desarrolladores. Ustedes no sólo programaron una app: construyeron una escalera al infinito para que los locos como yo subiéramos sin miedo a ver de cerca nuestro lugar en la sinfonía universal. Y si alguien me está leyendo desde la Tierra, (no importa en qué hemisferio): descárgala. Haz zoom sobre Saturno. Sonríe. Y recuerda: el universo también te incluye. ♾️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️♾️ Eternamente premiados. —Will Lee Reynolds @holaWillLee @theFreeWillMission

    Me and my grandpa love astronomy so we were looking at the stars one night and I showed him Some apps about the stars. We saw this app and gave it a try. I love the feature where you can tilt the phone and see all the stars in your area. Also the feature where you can search up whatever consolation or planet you want and it will show you when it will be visible and when it will vanish. Would recommend to family’s, people new to astronomy, or almost Anywone! Super fun and 100% free to install! Lovingly signing off, A loyal user

    The ability to track the path of objects over time has been removed from this app and moved to another one that requires a subscription. I’ve already paid to unlock everything in this app, and now features are being removed from it and require a monthly subscription to re-access. Edit: I’m referring to tapping a celestial body and being able to track where it will be in the next few hours. This feature is has been removed from this app and moved to another one that requires a subscription.
