Featured by Apple - Best Apps of 2009 Enjoy enhanced stargazing experience with gyroscope on iPhone 4 and full iOS 4 support with multitasking Star Walk is your personal planetarium that can answer all of your ...
This app is great for augmenting the casual stargazer And they dont try to nickel and dime you on updates Thanks for putting out a great app                 Excellent
I may be late on the update but Im super glad I did it Love this app As an Astronomy minor its great to have for quick celestial body references Works great so far too                 Love the new update
Best stargazing app I use it frequently to find objects to study constellation Its best companion to my celestron 8SE telescope I can locate stars for nexstar alignment for stars calibration Also help me to explore night sky with 10x50 binocular Simply I cant go outside in my backyard or in observing site without this app                 Best stargazing app
Not a gazer but enjoy this app                 Thanks
We have used it so many times as a family for the last 7 years Great app                 The only star app you need
I purchased this app a couple years ago in originally had it on my iPhone 4s I rarely used it but I did think it was pretty cool I recently tried to use it to locate Mars and played around with it for a while The user interface is absolutely horrible It took me a while but I finally was able to match the moon with its actual location With each update the app gets worse For example if you click on sky live there is no way to get out of it You have to close the app and open it up again     Very disappointed iPhone 6
I use this and its parent desktop software all the time and have for years From casual stargazing to serious telescope control this series is a great fit                 Astronomy Depth and Beauty
I understand that you guys have released a new star walk app but you should maintain this app as well It just seems as if you guys decided that you needed to help your current users along in deciding to buy the new app by making this one full on buggy I have used this app a lot It is always included in my list of app suggestions and Im sure you have reaped the benefit many times over of my word of mouth about your app But I am to the point that I doubt I would ever mention your app to anyone else When you get the feeling that an app developer is doing something scummy its a definite deterrent I could be wrong I hope I am and that the bugs get squashed if so Ill update my review Biggest complaint whenever I zoom or tap on a star I have to recalibrate my phone before it will start sky tracking again That is super annoying Please fix it     What gives
One problem with this app is theres no way to switch between the live sky and other functions So if you say search for a constellation and then want to go back to a live sky theres no way to do it You can just wait and sometimes the live sky will return but often nothing happens even after 5 min or more Not very user friendly app at all        Still no way to get live sky
I feel cheated I upgraded and paid for Star Walk 2 and yet it is this app that gets an Apple Watch update I dont understand the logic in that Who updates an old app and ignores the most current one     Why was this updated but not Star Walk 2
This app is amazing                 Wow
I seriously suspect this app vendor intentionally broke the compass feature of this app to force users to have to buy Star Walk Version 2 to be able to track the sky This once live view of sky is now just a static sky chart     Internal Compass Stopped Working
I really like this app I only have IOS6 so its not perfect but then again what app is I love looking at the different features and constellations and I am amazed at everything God has created                 Amazing
This is the app thay really founded my interest in astronomy with its outstanding and beautiful details                 Stunning
Really too much time wasted to get to live view        Poor UI
I am new so this review is just to state that first off this app is awesome lol but that this would be an amazing app for someone who has a family member or loved one on a space station This would be awesome to pull out and see where they are at all times It really makes our galaxy seem just a glimpse away Stay gazing my friends                 new user review but good point
This was an exceptionally good app that I used almost every night until it suddenly went crazy It just kept spinning around in circles endlessly due to magnetic interference I tried all the suggested fixes I could find online but nothing worked Its now useless     Was great until
Who picked the music and is it really necessary I found the earlier version to be more responsive I wasnt sure if I was getting a live view when I reloaded this or not I appreciate the notification feature but I also wish finding the instructions was easy since we arent all star watchers to the enth degree              Great App But
As of this moment the position shown in this app for comet Lovejoy C2104 Q2 is off by approximately 7 minutes RA and 22 DEGREES declination I do hope this is unintentional and not a prod to upgrade              Comet Lovejoy Tracking
This app is so full of information on everything space related I love the gallery of pictures and video And the music is so relaxing Thank you for all the time that you put into this app                 Awesome
5 years on this game is still one of my favorites Great if you have an old style telescope makes spotting a lot easier                 Fantastic
This is an intriguing app it has good eye candy with the Milky Way and classical constellation figures showing up as you slide the sky across the screen It does a good job of showing rising transiting and setting of Sun and objects in the sky But there are serious problems The worse is the automatic turning on of compass mode where the sky moves around as you move the device It occurs inadvertently fairly often and if you are new to the app or havent used it in a while it will throw you as you try to figure out how to turn it off Theres no onscreen option for turning that off In fact the options that do appear have to do with overlaying a camera image Its uselessly frustrating Hint if you tap and drag on the screen it will go off Well until the next time you move the iPhone or iPad a little top quickly VERY POOR DESIGN It also does NOT show any deep space objectsno Messiers no NGCs You can search for one of thoseand it will be marked on the display but its the only one that will be shown The only constellation shown is the one right at the center of the screen The star database is very limited so you wont be using this at the eyepiece or with the telescope In other words if youre an amateur astronomer who wants a sky chart to help you in your observing look to other apps eg Starmap or SkySafari If youre involved in astro education or want to show off the iPod or iPad to others then this is a charm Yet at these low prices its worth getting several different types of apps By the way this displays wonderfully well at 2x on the iPad so you dont even need to buy the app dedicated to it I just zoomed in on Jupiter to see if SW would show its moons It does NOT But it did something else very strange It showed a message Torcularis Septemtrionalis below Jupiter Thats really offputting I Googled it and it may be a music group All this was too weird so I stopped looking Bizarre Latin phrases showing up unexpectedly are not my idea of a friendly app I had the sound and music OFF so its not a score thats being identified Aha More exploring and discovered its the name of o Pisces Who wudda thunk it Im used to Arabic names for stars but this was absolutely unknown to me Im dropping the rating a star not because of that but because there are now many other astro apps with the track the sky gizmo of SW as well offering much more for about the same cost or even less To its credit however SW runs well smoothly on old idevices And its slide time control is great for watching the celestial sky wheel go round           Some good things but limited featuresalso ODD LABEL
Im madly in love with this app It works very smoothly and displays an incredible amount of information in a beautiful lay out                 Love it
Update Why does this version have a Watch function but not Star Walk 2 I have Star Walk and Solar Walk for the iPad and knew them to be absolutely stunning applications but on my phone I had Pocket Universe for quite a while and didnt see a need to replace it because I figured they did about the same thing Last night I finally broke down and bought this application for my phone and I absolutely cannot believe how much better this one is The graphics are more beautiful the information is deeper and more interesting the experience is made a million times richer by the music I can just stand outside looking around the sky even without a telescope and feel like Im being introduced to friends Perhaps most importantly the 3GSbased Star Spotter function is waaay more accurate that the similar implementation on Pocket Universe On the other app it was just frustrating because I could see easily that the direction would be off by as much as 4590 degrees With Star Walk I hold up my phone and it matches the sky perfectly                 Absolutely Phenomenal
At first it was ok then I lost everything Everytime I press on something like photos for instance it gives me ERROr Dont know y it does that Cannot use it Just received pics on sun flares today June 26 2015 but couldnt see anythingit says ERROR Very frustrating please help Fix it and I give you 5 stars Thank you     VERY FRUSTRATING
I have been trying to decide if i was going to buy the new iPad Version or try something new lol                 Still My Fav EvenThough
This is a great application if you are just using an IOS device for your display For group viewing the applications stated support for HDMI device displays doesnt work Instead of a full landscape display you get a partial portrait mode display on the far right side of the screen        HDMI Output Doesnt Work
My kids and I love the calendar feature that reminds us of upcoming astrological events And being able to select in type of thing to view constellations satellites planets etc is a great feature too                 Wonderful App
I was looking for an app to replace Stellarium and this came up Stellarium is bad but this app makes Stellarium look like a god Please dont waste your money on this app     Even worse than Stellarium
Was looking for something like Google sky maps This is really nice and it does what I wanted it to do Point it at the sky it it tells you what is what                 Beautiful app
One of the best night sky apps                 Great app
Its great Just go to a place with no street lights take your time get the flow going start finding what you think is neatthats when the awesomeness starts You are now a king                 Nice app
For some reason the map no longer moves when I scan the sky with my phone The map would move with my phone when I first used it And I have my gps set up Also when it did work whenever I would click the info button on a satellite constellations planet etc or zoom in or out it would no longer move with my phone as well If someone could help me with how to fix this it would be a 5 star rating How are you to know what you are looking at if the map doesnt move with the phone It helps beginners like me           Tech support needed
Nice that its still being maintained even with Star Walk 2 out Its hands down the best few dollars Ive ever spent on an app It even made it easy for us to see our first iridium flare Hint visible even in metropolitan areas if youre looking right where the app tells you to                 Still my favorite Know the sky anywhere you go
I love to stargaze and this app was really accurate this was worth the money                 Amazing
No support anymore now that new version is out I am not paying for a new version after I purchased this one Prime example of bad dev when there is no accountability or standards aka silly App Store environment if Apple had the guts to monitor and enforce against practices such as this there would be many more happy users     LAME no support wont load now
I really love this app I think its an incredible idea and really well executed I get a few glitches now and then but overall really nicely done              Great app
So many times have we sat outside watching the stars and satellites fly by with this app ready to help us learn all sorts of extra details about what we are viewing If I could ask for anything to make this even better 6 star rating if it were possible it would be the identification of constellations from other cultures How the modern Orion was Osiris to the Egyptians and the Japanese saw a tsuzumi drum I think it would be great to be able to switch between these in the settings Please                 Our family loves this app
It only locks to 1 location and that same location forever           Meh
Im sorry I bought it It works once in a while but normally freezes The app is supposed to show me the sky where I point it It doesnt There must be a better app out there     Keeps freezing
Helps me find features in a light polluted metro area Works perfectly                 Still great
I was incredibly disappointed to realize that I wasted my money on an old version of this app when a new version is available on the App Store for the same price What a ripoff     This is an old version
Updated 01222015 more bad news now it crashes when I try to open it This app does not work on iOS 8 I reported it to support on Sept 22 2014 This is their response Thank you for contacting VITO Technology customer support service Your report is greatly appreciated we will examine the issue Best regards VITO Technology Customer Support Team Twitter starwalk The live view does not work the gallery view does not work and if they have examined the issue they certainly have not fixed it Appalling customer service     Dont Buy Womm
Some stars are missing such as Scholzs star and HIP 85605           Incomplete
Works great with my wifes I phone 5 with my 5S terrible It told me I was looking at Saturn I think I know what the Moon looks like Totally wrong directions several times looking for ISS     Couldnt find the Moon
I love this app Does what it says educational and fun to play around with                 Educational and fun
Great app My friends think Im a major geek but I pull out this app all the time to check what a starplanet is Sometimes a little difficult to get to calibrate correctly but Ive used it for years and never gotten tired of it                 I use this all the time
I bought this because a friend took me out and showed me how it worked I could even see what was in the sky on the opposite side of the world by pointing the phone down People buy this because they what to know more about stars but do they know they may sometimes stumble on a surprise I was using the app on Christmas Eve and saw something moving across the star field It was tiny SANTA CLAUS and his tiny tiny reindeer                 Im reviewing the previous version but its new to me
Seems to do what it wants Changes screens with no purpose     Bogus
absolutely awesome                 the best
