“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.”

Star Walk Reviews

Old version

Jjzo on

Finland

Vito Technology has just released Star Walk 2, so this old version is definitly not worth buying.

Hyvä sovellus

Wannabe astronomi on

Finland

Tod näk paras sovellus astronomiaan. Paljon erilaisia mahdollisuuksia. Ainoa miinus ettei koordinaattien avulla pysty etsimään.

Avaruus tutuksi

Perfect app - easy to find your sky targets. GS model needed...

Great app fallen to the ads.

Anatidaeical on

United States

Absolutely fantastic app, had great memories of using this app with my mother when I was young. On its own it is incredible which keeps me from placing it at 0 stars. Upon trying it out again years later, it’s nearly unusable without paying for a subscription service. You get MAYBE 15-20 seconds between advertisements, each lasting longer than that. Turning this app into more of an advertisement watching app than a stargazing one. I despise subscription services, as they are inherently scummy. They prey on forgetfulness. I love this app but I just cannot see myself using an app that takes advantage of its users like this.

Too busy, unreadable

jnikoley on

United States

Title. This app used to be amazing. Now, it's too busy, and there's no way to discern one star from another, when they are clearly distinguishable by the naked eye as being brighter from one another. You point your phone at a star or planet you're interested in, but there's no way to know you are pointing at the correct one, and the text is so small you can't read it, when you zoom in everything glitches out and you were cursing at your phone.

Funny

Contageous4death on

United States

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

yaaas123456789 on

United States

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.
