It’s ok
For the price it’s neat.
I was hoping for more options on what type of notifications I would receive. I don’t want to miss major events but I’d like to know a couple days in advance and I don’t want notifications for things like quizzes and more common type events
Love this app!!!!
This is one of my favourite apps and I love being able to read about far away space objects like Sedna and I like being able to learn about the planets in the solar system and the quiz’s are awesome I’ve aced them all so far !!!!
This is a great app
Nice
I like this app lots of interesting information
Too many notifications
How do you stop the constant notifications for Stargazing News? It’s freaking annoying.
Espace imaginaire...
C'est formidable de voir cet application et de la transposer dans notre quotidien. De jour et de nuit Star Walk permet vraiment de parcourir l'espace de mon imaginaire et il est vaste 🤩
Great app!
As a beginner in astronomy this app really helped me navigate and understand the night sky more and helped me find what I was looking for. Very accurate and reliable for its cost.
Facilite le repérage
Bel outil pour me familiariser avec la disposition des étoiles,planètes,constellations etc . Cela m’aide par la suite à mieux me retrouver lorsque je suis à l’extérieur
Star Walk+
Terrible!
Maybe smarter people can figure this out.
I really only want to identify
stars, etc. but there is so much extraneous crap!
I am not a high tech guy but you would think I could look at the sky, identify stars, etc. but instead, I have various confusing overlays and many still images none of which I care about.
I only want to view the sky in real time and identify stars and other objects in the sky!
So far this is impossible!
I’m sure it is possible for some but not for me.
I plan to cancel everything related to this App to avoid more frustration!
The best game
The only reason I like this is that it’s not just a game it’s a whole new world
Easiest Sky Watching Tool
Easy app to understand - even for a rookie sky watcher. Lots of features. You don't have to buy any additional features but they are easily available as your interests develop. I like to follow the ISS on here. Good job on the app!!
