way too many ads. EVERY click opens up an ad with audio. I can’t even get a feel of whether or not I want to upgrade to the paid version because the free version is too irritating to bother with. Any smart developer would give a trial period of the full version without ads, if […]

The app does not use my location. Wasted money buying the ad free version since it doesn’t work correctly. The longitude and latitude are stuck where I was when I installed the app (which was not at home). I tried to contact support before rating, but they just tell me to manually set location. I […]
Been using it since late July and overall very happy with the usability, interface, and level of information it provides. It’s not extremely intuitive, so it took me a little bit to learn how to use it properly. There is a slight error if you will in trying to get a precise line of sight […]
While a decent app with the packs, it really needs a better way of calibrating and keeping track of phone orientation. A calibrate button would, even if pointless, feel much more user friendly. I’m always worried if I’m not focused on the right spot and am constantly trying to recalibrate using the moon. But you […]
Thus is a great app for star gazers or anyone that wants to learn the constellations. I’ve read on similar apps that people have been having problems calibrating. All you have to do when your outside is wave the phone is a figure 8 motion and it calibrated very quickly. I love the fact that […]
I can’t say enough about SW 2, it’s got a wicked cool feature that allows you point your phone in any direction and you can see the planets, the constellations and the stars. Hint: lie in bed with the lights off and use the app. With the music in tow, It’s got the ability to […]
The functionality of this app is great. The biggest area for improvement, which would make it a βββββ app IMO is if it included constellations other than the “classical” european ones. Nearly every culture has used constellations to track and understand time and the seasons, and for wayfinding. A lot of that information is readily […]
Great app for learning about our sky. I particularly like the notifications letting me know when and where to see thing like meteor showers, planets, etc. The ability to hold it out and have it actually show you what’s in front of you is great. It tracks your orientation and location (when using the app) […]
Great app for stargazing, beautiful and easy to use. For free, one gets the basics, which is fine for the once in awhile stargazer. I had no qualms in purchasing the complete edition of this app to get all the extras. I use it at least 3 times a week. The live view is great […]
Great app, very detailed and love the customization. Works great, however, I can’ seem to calibrate the compass and it is always incorrect making it hard for me to use as I have to manually position it myself. I have 2 other astronomy apps that are accurate with my position, but don’t have the detail […]
Star Walk 2 Free is a very cool and easy to use app except for the lack of an exit button, thus the 4 star rating. It’s not easy to shut down and I waste time trying to sign out. I appreciate the graphic identification of constellations, stars, and planets. I haven’t tried any similar […]
If you are into star gazing, then check this app out. Nice 3D graphics. Easy to use real time mapping. It is also very comprehensive. For example, you can zoom in on a star, planet, constellation, etc and the app gives you information on whatever you zoom in on. I have had other sky map […]
fun and easy to use!! The more I use this app the better it gets! I really love the notifications about celestial events – I’ve caught a couple meteor showers that I otherwise would have missed. I use Star Walk almost every day and have learned a lot through the really well written and easy […]
This app is free, easy to use, contains high quality graphics, and offers multiple features. I have never been able to locate constellations on my own, so I very much enjoyed getting to look at the night sky through my phone and see exactly where Ursa Minor was even on a cloudy night. I could […]
A great, easy to use and in depth app for people who love astronomy, space, and constellations; and is also great for those of us who tend to be a bit curious. I initially downloaded this app to see if the distant plane in the night sky I caught a glimpse at 5am was indeed […]
Making use of the star map are somewhat confusing for newbies like me. That is not so much related to the app! ;-} Getting it oriented is kind of tough, but again that is more about my lack of knowledge of stars and constellation. I used to use another app provided by a university in […]
False advertising. Paid for the app but, I still get push notifications for their products. They said, “That is not an in-app ad but a push notification with an interesting info”. It’s an add if your selling something! Do not disturb function doesn’t work, I’m getting adds at midnight! I guess I can turn off […]
It’s a super moon tonight, but the app puts the moon in a greatly different place in the sky. The app shows that the moon is high in the sky, but actually, it is well below the tree line. Otherwise, the app looks beautiful. It would be wonderful if the stars actually lined up with […]
ive had this app since I was 12 and I’ve loved it ever since. my favorite thing was when I used to have a telescope and be able to point it to the sky whenever I was informed the planets were aligning or different stars even the ISS was above me. I used to have […]
Awesome app and I use it often! There are things I’d like pointed out and hopefully updated however. One is the misalignment of a couple layers for deep sky objects, particularly with Andromeda. I continue to see Andromeda in two locations, with a hazy oblong layer offset from the more detailed starry galaxy layer. They’re […]
