Star Walk App Reviews

I used Starwalk a few years ago and loved it! I just now reloaded it, and can’t get it off the main screen with Sun/Moon/etc.. I’ve tried everything I can think of! I reloaded to show my neighbors how cool it was, and all I can get is main screen and music!???

Best app I have and it’s been seven years since I bought my first iPhone.

I really want to like this app but I can’t seem to figure out how to properly use it.

Never had a problem. Always learn something cool.

I like all the information I get from this app, and find it useful. I really don’t like the orange color, and don’t know how to change it.

👍

Used to love this app but it is no longer able to accurately show position of things. The moon is bright and beautiful in the sky tonight, I finally found it on the app facing my phone down and to the right. Judging by other markers the image is upside down too. 👎🏼

Buena aplicación

I live in Texas, and spent most of my life looking for a star map that wasn’t based on a much more northern parallel. Then two iPads ago, I found Starwalk. The app has always worked well, and I love it! So easy to identify planets and constellations in real time.

Don’t really understand the functionality and therefore most of the display options. My lack of understanding astronomy makes this application nice to look at but not educational

allow you to show young kid all that in the night sky.

Check the planets and stars visible from your location. Monitor astronomical event and phenomenons.

First app I ever purchased. It keeps getting better and better!

Difficult to use and understand

This is great fun. I tell all of my friends about this app.

This is amazing ! I could never remember the constellations and now I feel so smart😉

I LOVE THIS APP. If you want to identify the planets overhead, find out when the next full moon or eclipse or the ISS is visible above you in stunning detail

Great way to learn the constellations. Awesome interface

Just not an intuitive. Looking at the stars shouldn’t be this hard.

A great app bringing the cosmos to your phone.

Amazing trip through the Stars!!!

I like space.

Awesome

I have had this app for many years and it never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work.

This program help me the thing I see in the night sky. The information about each object is a learning session.

Best app ever as close to were no man has gone before that i will get!

This is the best and favorite for my needs. Especially on a warm clear night on my deck to be sure I can identify every thing I can see as well as not see with my bare eyes. *****

For every age learner!

Screen frozen, poor calibration

Well worth the money. It’s a great tool to verify things you may not be certain about, like tonight I was unsure if it was a full moon or waning because my eyes just aren’t as good as they used to be. So I immediately opened the app, which has been on every phone I’ve owned since I purchased the app years ago, to check the calendar which tells you the percent waxing/waning. And that’s a mundane use but it’s what I was doing when asked to review the app, which regrettably I’ve abstained from until now when prompted to offer a review. There’s a lot more the app can do. You can set the date and time to see what occurs seasonally. You can even track a lot of man-made satellites. Best of all, it will utilize the gyroscopes in your phone so you just point in the direction you’re looking at to be better informed of what you’re looking at, or if the ISS has crossed the horizon yet. It’s really a great app that I genuinely do recommend to people I know in real life when we’re out camping and stargazing. But not science stargazing, just us sitting by a campfire and looking at the heavens. I think it uses a little bit of data for GPS location, but I know it works even on airplane mode. It will default to your last known location when the app was running, and I’m almost positive you can tell the app your location by lat/long to get more accurate info. But I’m not sure because I’ve never really familiarized myself with it. I generally don’t camp more than a minute from where I mostly use the app at home. And you might say, “oh! Well you can do most of this stuff from your computer!” To that I say, it’s just super handy to have it on your phone where your computer might be inaccessible. It’s definitely worth the money. Just to stay abreast of what you’re looking at, or as a reference tool if you’re already well informed. I’m already getting long in the tooth, but it gives you notifications for meteor showers or other astronomical events as well. Which is nice if you allow them. Great app. 5 Stars!

I highly recommend giving this app a try for hours of entertainment identifying stars, constellations, and objects in the night sky. It’s easy to use with intuitive functions. The information links bring the planets and Celestial events to life with fascinating knowledge. Once you become comfortable using the basics try all the features and you will be very satisfied with this very cool useful tool.

I love using this app especially when I think I see a planet in the sky! Easy to use easier to ID stars and planets!

Love this App💥

While nearly everybody has a smart phone now, 7 years ago, before I had my first iPhone, I had a friend with an Android who showed me Starwalk. I was so astounded that one could have access to which planets were in the skies, or when the moon was rising, how full it would be, names of fascinating constellations & how everything in the heavens would change from night to night !! Yes, I was so impressed by this technology & Starwalk’s elegant design, inspired layout & art ~ without compromising functionality ~ that after I used this App just ONCE, I vowed the next phone I got would be a smart phone... because I just had to have access to the Heavens in a way ONLY Starwalk provides !! Seven years later I’m on my 4th smart phone and I still use Starwalk all the time !!

Great!

I use this app everywhere I travel. It comes in handy all the time. My daughter has grown up with this app. I love when she asks me to use Star Walk to help her identify what she sees when she looks up at the night sky.

GPS doesn’t work

I just updated in hopes that satellites would show up again but no go. They are turned on in settings and they have been there before but not now. It’s almost like they disappear from the view occasionally. I wanted to find IIS but it’s not showing up.

I love the "info (i)" function as I'm constantly learning something new! The one thing that would make it perfect is to be able to select/refresh the ephemerides of popular bright satellites like ISS and Aqua so that we can try to hunt for them. If there was a comprehensive add-on, I'd buy it!

😐😐😐😐😐

Best star & constellation chart I’ve seen to date. I feel like a kid again - always stay curious.

Starwalk is a great app that I enjoy with my grandkids. They are learning about the plants and constellations.

Love using this app, it’s exactly what I wanted it to be. Just wish it worked without internet service, when I’m out in the sticks.

It’s not really friendly to those who aren’t familiar with the computer . It would be nice to understand what’s going on as you see it happening.

This app is amazing and should be on every phone.

Does not show sky in the correct direction of iPhone!

Love the app!

With the rotation and details and music makes viewing the heavens more precious!

First version is Still this company best app

Truly worthy of your 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

We love moving the phone and having the sky move with it but we have never been able to start it on demand which is very very frustrating!

Why can’t I point my phone in a direction and see those stars anymore.

It’s very good

Can you please add black holes to this game I wanna see them

This app is very formative. It is user friendly and full of information.

The Geminids meteor shower isn’t Oct 17 like it has in the calendar . It’s wrong

StarWalk helps me keep a better perspective on life. I like to know what is going on in the universe. Thanks

Please show obvious sky features like Big Dipper, Little Dipper, for us novices. Thanks

I LOVE IT! ITS AMAZING!

My friend Robin suggested I get this app for my son who is interested in space. I’ve had it for years, and while he has outgrown it I continue to marvel all the things it has taught me over the years. Such a wonderful bit of technology that lets you travel the heavens without leaving the ground.

I wished that you can make a planets. And see the meteor showers on the screen.

Thanks

I enjoy looking at the stars and planets This is a helpful app

I wouldn’t of updated if I New that

Location is ineffective rendering the app useless in the US

I already paid for this app, and now to use they are saying I have to pay again? What? Totally bad business. Have to see the sky another way.

It’s so realistic! I love how much detail there is.

I introduced my granddaughter to your app. She is studied in the events of the heavens. We enjoy your updates and information. Thank you!

Star walk has been my favorite app for years, and has an amazing database of celestial objects. I was very dismayed and disappointed to learn that one of the recent updates removed most of these items, and simply labels them deep space object instead directing you to subscribe on a monthly basis and pay for what was previously free. This is an unfortunate trend with apps to go to a subscription model. Although I commend the app developers for a reasonably priced subscription, a one time fee would be quite preferable. In addition, I learned that I had to subscribe to view most of these objects when out of range of a cellular signal while camping, so it’s not like I could subscribe at that time.

I got these apps one free and one for a small fee But they do not show a live view of the night sky. I want to see the star constellations Live and as I move my iPhone the view “tracks” with me

It’s Dec 16 and this app says that comet 46P is below the earth by the sun and Scorpius. Meanwhile, Star Walk 2 says the comet is up by Pleiades...

The app is ok, but it keeps going off track and you have to shake it to get it back to 360 mode. The music is also a bit overwhelming, but other than that it’s amazing.

It is amazing and so vast

Starwalk is really fun I love it so much I mean Starwalk is the only star app I have .

Love it! Seeing the stars in real time is like almost being there, almost.

I want to be able to see details about asteroids, comets, etc. without having to pay. Nobody cares about deep space objects, so we can still pay for those. I want to see when meteor showers happen.

I ha this app. For ever since my 1st iPod and saw a commet or green ufo space Metroid

Never seems to work

I enjoy this app very much

Genial la aplicación y muy versátil

Is very good!

I have tried to cancel including sending an email. No response

Star Walk by Vito is one of the best astronomy apps that I have encountered. I hope to upgrade to Star Walk 2 by this December or sooner. The app is always inspiring. Thank you.

Seems very user friendly, but I am not sure the data is accurate. I got this app to help me find the 46P/Wirtanen comet but the location this app shows doesn’t match what I have seen from other sources.

Best Money I ever spent on a app.

Very useful application for any star watcher or nite walker.

To exit

I’ve had this app for a few years on iPhone 5, 6 and X and the app has always locked up soon as the screen is touched. Once I touch the screen it will no longer track the sky, just a stuck image that I can move with my finger which isn’t very helpful learning the sky. I like the app but very annoyed that I can’t use it to its potential. Am I the only user who has had this issue? 3 phones, few years and updates and still same problem

Where is Santa ?🙁😣😖😫😭

I love this app!

Yeah, to view the same thing I previously viewed for years (back when I loved the app), I now have to pay a subscription. All because my phone auto updated the app. Now everything besides stars are considered far earth and behind a pay wall. Same for some features I had access to. I just want my original product back. I never got a response from customer support. Edit: I did contact support. I will try again and update my review.

I love all the star walk apps, but this is by far the best one. Star walk 2 makes you purchase supernovas, satellites, planet extensions and more annoying things. But this one is good because you don’t have to buy anything! Love,love,LOVE the app!!! Please add more things to this app, because a very old satellite has reached the edge of our galaxy.

ድንቅ ነው

Has helped me with grades and I’ve learned a lot of new cool things

ممتاز لاكن انتبهو من الدعايات

This is the best App for searching the sky to find what you’re looking for!

All over the news today and from several different sources my husband and I were directed where to look in the night sky and at what time to view comet P46 Wertamin. For example, on December 16 at 10:00, look at the constellation Taurus. The comet will ‘ a green ghostly looking appearance. We were outside with binoculars in hand and my tablet with Star

I notice that sometimes the direction alignment is not accurate.

Thank you
