Winner of Apple Design Award 2010*** “Star Walk is a remarkably in-depth and detailed astronomy app. There's so much you can do with this app” - Common sense media “Star Walk is the best stargazing application I have come across for the iPhone. Many of the features found within the application cannot be found in any others! This is one of the best developed and executed applications I have seen to hit the app store.” - iMore “This app brings the old paper star chart into the smartphone age, and makes exploring the night sky easily accessible to everyone.” - Soggy Astronomer Duran Duran's keyboard Nick Rhodes mentions Star Walk as his favourite app: “It’s brilliant, and if you’re ever somewhere with a clear sky and no light pollution, it’s a revelation. It’s beautifully designed and makes clever use of the available technology. I’m fascinated by astronomy, but even if you’re not, give this a go.” Key features: • Night sky map with thousands of stars, constellations and other sky objects. • Real-time tracking of celestial bodies. • Augmented reality sky view. • Deep sky objects to explore in detail. • Night mode. • Extensive information about all sky objects. • The ability to travel in time with “Time machine” • Astronomical calendar with various celestial events. • Stunning space pictures in “Picture of the Day”. • “Sky Live” section with info about the moon phases, the amount of daylight, the visibility of the planets, etc. Astronomical calendar, deep space objects, meteor showers, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and satellites are available through the STAR WALK PLUS subscription. ‣ Launch the app and point your device at the night sky - you'll see the stars, planets, satellites, and constellations in their proper place from your location. As you move your device, the star map updates in real time.* ‣ Every object you tap has an (i) next to its name, tap it to access some information. ‣ A scale on right is the “Time machine”, slide it to explore the map of the night sky of tomorrow or years ago. ‣ A calendar of celestial events will make sure you never miss anything interesting. ‣ Tap Augmented Reality icon in the upper right corner to add the image from your camera to your sky view. ‣ Use Night Mode to go easy on your eyes and preserve night vision when exploring the Universe. ‣ Star Walk is your personal planetarium.

    I purchased this app and have used it for years and loved it, but there are now so many ads that the app has become unusable. Please change the app back to what it used to be!
  • What happened??

    I have used this app for many years. It used to be easy to use. Not anymore. You made it more complicated and less enjoyable. I tried the free trial - it wasn’t any better. I am really disappointed.
  • Ads every time you tap on anything

    This is awful and nearly unusable as-is. Just tapping on a star or planet for more info causes an ad. Literally an ad every time.
  • Good but LAY OFF OF THEADS!!

    It’s a good app truly, but the amount of ads is horrendous. I zoomed in, and it gave me an ad. When the ad was over i zoomed in more and I got another ad IMMEDIATELY. Plus why do I need to pay to see the ISS!
  • Degraded over time

    Had for years. Deleted. Limited initial usability degraded over time. Not worth the $ no matter what the developers counter argue with because of this review. $ better spent an a pack of gum .
  • So good

    I’ve had this app for years and it’s always really good tool to help navigate sky searching. Accurate and dependable.

  • Nothing but a money grab, not education

    Asking the store to remove this until they change the cat. from educational to entertainment. You have paywalls on so much things such as simply trying to look at info about the a-centaurids that it’s infeasible to use the app unless you pay. If that’s the case it’s entertainment, not education.
  • was good once

    This use to be an amazing app I loved it, now I can’t even use the app without and ad popping up every 30 seconds. Screw this app. Never using again.
