“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.

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.

Ads are ridiculous

It’s impossible to rate this app as the ads completely take over the app and there is zero functionality without multiple layers of ads and hyperlinks…. Can’t even evaluate the quality to determine if it’s worth paying for so I’ll save some $$

Increasingly buggy

This app has become increasingly buggy. Freezes constantly. Have to restart the app all the time to get it to recognize where it is and not be locked frozen on a view. Started out great but seems like support is no longer there

It’s an informative app

There is a lot of good information on the countless objects that can be seen from earth as well as many that are essentially alien to most people (I had to say it haha 👽). The only issue I have is that the back button to get back to the sky from the information page doesn’t work, so I have to force quit the app and reopen it every time. It is driving me crazy.

Ads. So many ads..

I have paid for Star Walk twice. Once for the original app and again for Star Walk 2. I cannot tell you how much enjoyment I have gotten from Star Walk over the years. When Star Walk went to subscription based, I just gave it up. This is a luxury I can’t afford. I started to use the app very occasionally, maybe once or twice a year. The features would change or get updated, or I no longer had access to them so I moved on. Tonight we have a stunning moon with a planet trailing it and I wanted to know which one. I guessed right, Jupiter. Then I got flashed with 4 ads and a video in less than 60 seconds. Say what you want, but I am not exaggerating. I had the app sound off and then some Youmusician or something ad came on and the sound was back (probably because the iPad wasn’t silenced, only the app) and we all got to listen to a very loud guitar lesson. My sleeping neighbors would like to say Thank You. Or something that sounds very similar. So disappointed that I can’t and don’t want to pay for something I already bought. I have uninstalled everything.

Ads every two seconds ruin vision

I tried the app but I couldn’t even evaluate it to see if I wanted to try a premium version because a bright white ad pops up quite literally every couple of seconds. The ads are so bright that they ruin your night vision and stargazing becomes impossible. Using the app for two seconds then waiting for a long ad is absurd, but having them ruin your vision for stargazing is even more absurd. Edit after developer response: The content of the ads is not what is unacceptable. Your placing a bright ad every two seconds is. Google is not at fault; you are.
