“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.

‣ 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.

Funny

I’ve had this app and the first version for years now and I’ve noticed a few things that raise some questions. A few years ago this app saw the edition of a “hypothetical planet” One with a deep space orbit much like that of the so called “nibiru”. This in itself was strange as I had thought this app to be factual to the best of human knowledge. It has since been removed and a long drawn out explanation about “nibiru” being a creation of some one’s imagination or quest for 15 minutes of fame. It’s all very interesting and I am curious who’s agenda this app is pushing.

Never have written an app review in my life

I used to love this app. My mom had it on her iPad when I was younger and we loved to use it together, a lot of memories. Reinstalled it on my device now that I am an adult. I was using it for less than 3 minutes and got 3 30 second ads. After the second ad I considered buying the yearly subscription but another 30 second ad popped up while trying to navigate to the subscription screen, nope! Not going to watch your ad to give you money on the way to the screen to give you more money. Sad that they spam you with ads to get you to purchase instead of just providing a product that’s worth purchasing like they used to.

Used to Be Great

This used to be an amazing app. Now there are so many ads that it’s unusable.

Beautiful, so useful. So many options.

4/8/24. Thank you for this app. I used it for years. I must have paid for the extra info. I don’t have ads, I have full access to everything. So long ago. I just introduced it to three friends. I show them the astroid Gaspra, the first picture of an asteroid ever taken, that we took as engineers on the NASA/JPL Galileo interplanetary spacecraft on our journey to Jupiter. I was the shift’s lead system engineer during the closest approach (CA), We also took the Ida pictures show here. Fantastic to share close and far parts of the universe. I also see one of my favorite galaxy's, The Sombrero, so magnificent. You also include the working Aqua Weather Satellite trajectory that I worked on before it was launched. It has an orbit of 90 minites around the earth - polar to polar. . One of several on programs of Masa’s studies of earth climate. Best all. Jose M.

Blinds you with cheesy ads so you can’t see stars

I forgot why I deleted this app, but here is why. Tonight, I wanted to identify what I am seeing in the very clear night sky after the starlink launch. I hold my iPad toward Orion and TA DA, an extremely bright video game ad pops up, temporarily making me unable to see Orion, let alone other less visible constellations. OK, they need money. I waited out the ads. My eyes adjusted to the night again. There are two stars directly overhead I couldn’t identify, so I lift my iPad into position and… another extremely bright cheesy ad. I hate this app.

Misleading and unfai

Paid for the app, but, instead of updating it, I get ads for the new (paid) star walk 2. How is this ok? Idk.
