“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

Too many ads

I bought this app years ago. Now it’s changed to an advert laced app. Was 5 stars before now it’s 1 star. I actually paid for the app. But the developers don’t recognise that, and made it star walk 2, so they can make money from ads. And star walk 1 disappeared.

Great app

This app is amazing, graphics and pictures are stunning. I have learnt so much about the cosmos, this app is well worth the price. Thank you ! The only problem is that once I get in the app. I am in for hours, its a winner.

Great app, missing one great feature.

I simply love this app, and use it often in the field as a rough guide for astrophotography. However, the one feature I wish for every single time is a way to display an azimuthal and equatorial grid. Would be reeeal handy.
