Star Walk：Find Stars & Planets Positive Reviews

Star walks the best. I’ve had it forever.Star walk is the best. I’ve had it forever. If it was the ONLY thing my iPhone could do I’d be thrilled beyond belief we are so spoiled these days with amazing tech. Thank you to star-walks creators! I don’t care how much they are pad to make this app, in my regard it counts as public service. The best! Why no one actually talks about it I do nit know. I’m a professional astronomer I guess. Well I’m an astrophysics student. Let me be clear, You need zero astrophysics to use this app. You just need to like looking up and down and all around. Because the stars are all around us. One of my favorite things to do with my kids is to put my phone on its car mount and drive around our little neighborhood with star wall on in overlay mode so the can see that it’s us here on earth moving. Not the stars. Perspectively as we turn our heads and spin on our axis. You can see all the stars still. Below the horizon having just set or about to rise. Thank you star work. Enough fun overlay artwork to keep and child interested. Or the child like - like we all are when we look up!.Astrophysycist dinosaurVersion: 7.3.6

Great AppThis app is amazing, I like how you can switch the views to look at the stars. It doesn’t have that many adds considering that it’s free. Although you do need premium to look at definitions and descriptions on some satellites and stuff you can just search it up on google if it’s that interesting. I personally just have it to look at the stars but it’s interesting to learn about the stars when you tap on them. There are so many more things about this app that you can do and that’s only for the free version. If you get this app then I recommend getting the premium. It’ll give you a better experience of the app. Overall this is a great app and I plan on using it for a long while,.[Mooki]Version: 7.3.6

5yrs later and I still love this appMy favorite part is if you get to far out with no service (always the best stars) IT STILL WORKS! We camp for 2wks every summer up in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming and there is no hope of service until off of them, but this app is a camping party favorite EVERY year not to mention It is all I ever wanted growing up! As a teen I saved my mowing money for a cordless phone (pre-cellphone era) and would lay in our pasture for hours and hours all summer long with my glow in the dark constellation coffee table book and Gf on the phone, now I can just hold up my phone and know my stellar address, neighbors and man made junk, I will never look at the stars the same 10/10.Rip Roaring Raft GuideVersion: 7.2.3

AdsSo lately I discovered ads can actually make your vision worst and my hole family used this app for a long time there’s a lot of good vision in my family but there vision is getting worse because of the ads and a lot of my family has glasses because the ads ruin there vision and don’t put them on the hole screen I broke my I pad cause I raged of the ads so please just make them small like on the side of the screen so they won’t bother us that much I don’t really use this app anymore because there’s to much ads I would really appreciate it if you at least made ads not cover the entire screen. Thanks!.YEEEEEEET KID21Version: 7.3.5

StarWalk Keeps me informed & shows me where to lookI’m 67 and been an amateur skywatcher all my life. I enjoy StarWalk alerts me daily to current interesting celestial events AND shows me where to look for them! It’s like having a professional astronomer available 24/7! Perhaps I’ll never recall much of all I learn, but for example I just learned some “new” facts about our Moon in the Wikipedia entry it took me to! StarWalk telling me what I can see and where to look has really enriched my skywatching every night I choose to use it! Thanks for a celestial mechanic help on my iPhone!.Swezz in Apple-villeVersion: 7.3.5

Love this app.I wish I could afford a big fancy telescope to truly show me the detail of our night sky.. until then this app is helping me learn placement in time of the night sky around me and for that, I am thankful. I can look at a constellation, pick a star and learn all about it. I can also see satellites. I think this app is a wonderful learning tool for anyone interested in our galaxy and learning what's around you. Even if you have a telescope I think it would be a great asset to locate and identify what you are looking at. It is very informational..Lace1122Version: 7.2.3

Beautiful, so useful. So many options.4/8/24. Thank you for this app. I used it for years. I must have paid for the extra info. I don’t have ads, I have full access to everything. So long ago. I just introduced it to three friends. I show them the astroid Gaspra, the first picture of an asteroid ever taken, that we took as engineers on the NASA/JPL Galileo interplanetary spacecraft on our journey to Jupiter. I was the shift’s lead system engineer during the closest approach (CA), We also took the Ida pictures show here. Fantastic to share close and far parts of the universe. I also see one of my favorite galaxy's, The Sombrero, so magnificent. You also include the working Aqua Weather Satellite trajectory that I worked on before it was launched. It has an orbit of 90 minites around the earth - polar to polar. . One of several on programs of Masa’s studies of earth climate. Best all. Jose M..Joseph_JosephVersion: 7.4.0

Good app, bad marketingI bought premium and enjoy the app. However, the app is clearly designed to be unusable unless you buy a subscription (frequent pop-up ads). People that download this app are either going to be angry about the ads and delete the app or pay for premium immediately, which is clearly the devs intentions. My suggestion would be to give the user 10-15 minutes of ad-free usage when they first download so that they can experience the app to its fullest and therefore be more inclined to buy premium when their time is up. If they get ads right away, they will just be angry and delete..AfdepintoVersion: 7.4.0

Real handySince Starwalk knows the observer position, it gives altitude and azimuth of an object which is nice when used with my computerized telescope. I like the red colored feature which is great at night. I wished the horizon was more delineated and the zenith as well. I also wished it had a way to adjust the intensity of the stars to match their magnitude when outside ambient lights make fainter stars less visible. Overall it's a great app, especially when used with my telescope..B747pVersion: 7.2.3

Great for the names, but....I’ve been using Star Walk for 6 months. I love the different viewing modes, but if you want to get details about something, you either have to watch an ad or but the plus version. When I bought the app, I was under the impression that it still worked the same way, but it removed ads when you paid for plus. I would be completely in love with it except for that one thing. Just so you know, it would be great if you showed the Perseverance craft on its mission to Mars..RoboticskicksVersion: 7.3.6

Great app with one BAD FEATUREWonderful, wonderful, wonderful app - until you try to exit the app (at least on an iPhone 13). When you want your phone back? Good luck. Exiting is not intuitive, and judging by Google results I'm most certainly not the only person who is frustrated by this. It is a superb, wonderful, interactive, amazing app - and all of that warm fuzziness goes away when you try and reclaim your device. To be fair, I have not had this issue until I went to an iPhone 13 - but it is driving me up a tree..Kiwi Jack 314Version: 7.3.7

Great app!! Just some fixesOk so first this is such a cool app to see stars and all that stuff And yes I get it is a free app but there is like so many adds like I get that it’s free and all free games have adds Ok this is what I mean when I click on to a star or planet once i want to leave it it has a add plus it’s the same add every single time so if I can maybe fix this sorry for the long read <3 Thank you for trading and a great app!!.CoffffiiiiVersion: 7.3.7

Really useful app for enjoying the night skyI 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..Shuttled CFIVersion: 7.2.5

Star Walk, my reviewI love star walk. I’ve had it since 2011 and it’s the best app I’ve used for finding stars and constellations. I’ve never had any issues and the developers are GENIUSES! Thank you! Something I love about the app is you can search for constellations and stars which is helpful because of the Geminid shower happening in these coming days. Thanks to star walk for all the amazing technology you provide us with!.Narwhal1900Version: 7.3.7

GlitchyI used to love this app so much, but recently I've been having issues with the gps on the app where it thinks that I'm facing a different direction than I am. For example, I'll clearly see the moon in front of me and it will show it as being behind me or off to the left. Just now I was trying to use it and it seems to think that I'm facing south even though I'm facing north east. I'm sure that there's a way to trouble shoot, but I wish the app was easier to use for me to be able to do this without having to search without success..LibbysunshineVersion: 7.2.3

Well-I’m so into astronomy. I’ve been told “become engineer, pilot, or doctor” but I truly want to become an astronaut or aerospace engineer. I wanted to study the sky so I don’t sit around doing nothing all day and for the one app I think would so be a life changer was stupid. No, I love this app but seriously? I press on a star trying to see the background but I get a bunch or numbers. Might as well give an explanation to that star like other apps. And I press on a star and next thing you know, there’s an app in your face. Calm down with THE APPPS OMGGGG.Tatataat raaamaaacaaaVersion: 7.3.7

Forced monthly fees for same product I bought years ago.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..SuperSayin'Version: 7.3.0

GOAT APPI remember when Vito was getting its name out there and Original Star Walk was the free app of the month at Star Bucks! I picked that card up downloaded to my iPhone 4S and she and her sisters Star Walk 2 and Solar Walk have been my constant companions through all upgrades to my iphone XS. The apps never get old peeps! I shows you the stars above and on the other side of the planet in real time! I hope you find it SKOL! VITO!.Optimus Maximus RomaVersion: 7.3.7

StickyI like this app. The visuals are great and the music is meditative. Recently, there have been so many adds that the app is slow, and sometimes freezes. I have to close it and reopen, and then another add pops up. This app is too big to be messing around; my non-upgradable storage in my iPhone can only support ONE star map guide app. Thanks for understanding. I’ll let you ruin my experience only one more time, then I’ll delete. Thanks. Oh, the worst part is I can not close the darn adds, I have to close the whole app! Unacceptable..Rebecca RuanoVersion: 7.3.5

Still have the original version and love itI've had this app for years on my old iPad. In fact it's so old that it no longer updates thus I still have the original version. I think it's a shame that they have changed it and from some of the most recent reviews I'm reading I may lament the death of this iPad someday. But for now I'm happy.Margaret CAVersion: 7.2.3

It’s an informative appThere is a lot of good information on the countless objects that can be seen from earth as well as many that are essentially alien to most people (I had to say it haha 👽). The only issue I have is that the back button to get back to the sky from the information page doesn’t work, so I have to force quit the app and reopen it every time. It is driving me crazy..MisterJackamoVersion: 7.4.0

Better back thenBack then I could tap on any star I saw that I wanted. If I remembered correctly I think that back then there wasn’t even ads. But now that’s all gone it use to be decent app I just re-downloaded it remembering how good that app was but now it’s not that fun especially when I keep getting interrupted by trails so I am afraid I won’t continue using this app as well as many other people who use to have it and had an awesome experience back then so farewell star walker.JameslCharlesVersion: 7.3.5

Long time user, long time fanThis app is really wonderful. It's easy to use and is great on a clear night to see what's going on in the sky that night. I use it to help my young daughter learn about the stars and planets, as well as for my own enjoyment. I pulled it out while visiting my parents and now my mother has installed the app too. Highly recommend..LeknycVersion: 7.2.3

Not working right anymoreI’ve been using this app for over 10 years. Suddenly it’s now not able to get planets in sky. It’s not possible to tell between Jupiter or Other nearby planets/stars. I can’t tell if I’m looking at a planet that is the only star I can see, or something else. Sad that it’s not really working. Made me look stupid the other night..J5ersVersion: 7.3.7

Do Not Buy SW 2Star Walk is hands down one of the most fun apps out there. I am sad I wasted my money upgrading to SW2. The new version withdrew satellites and a number of other features only to request more money for viewing. I would have happily paid upfront $5, if the app makers had been forthcoming of the removal of original information/features..Radar30Version: 7.3.0

Welllll......I like this app, that you don’t need internet, and I love the background music HOWEVER, it won’t let me see information about deep space objects and meteor showers. It will let me see them, just not up close or the information. That was the thing I was looking forward to, but I got bummed out when I saw that. I really wish you didn’t have to pay to see them. 😔 Other than that, it’s recommendable..HistoryParakeetVersion: 7.4.0

Ok I'll rate you again lol...So I've been loving this app for over 5 years now I think and it's always asking me to rate it. So here's yet another 5 stars and review from me. What can I say? I've familiarized myself so well with the cosmos that I can conduct astronomy talks in the hot tub whenever anyone is visiting. A glass of wine and the steam embracing Cygnus and Aguila during the cool summer nights...thanks starwalk!.MtnDaveVersion: 7.2.3

Love this app for little learners and adult wanderersMy 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..AngelshockVersion: 7.3.0

Incredible!!I absolutely love everything about this app! How you can change the background to the background you're actually looking at, how it tells you the phases of the moon and conjunctions of the planets, how it will even alert you to look out for meteor showers!! So many cool features and I love how it works offline too!.PatrishuhhVersion: 7.2.3

Perfect for Family GazingI have been using this app off and on for 4 years now with my family and TL Troop. I am no expert on the heavens. However, this app not only makes it easy to gaze intelligently anywhere (even thru the earth) but it also helps you not miss upcoming celestial events that my family and Troop really enjoy. Great app!!.DrugSaver1Version: 7.2.3

Great informative appI enjoy the app, very good information, and like going through what is shown. The only issue I have is trying to get out of the app, instead of just swiping up on my phone, I had to find a way like rate the app that let me then close out of the app. Because of that I will remove an otherwise great app..Jeffree100Version: 7.3.7

Such an amazing app!I originally used this app years ago. I redownload from time to time (for storage space reason) and every time I am blown away with how well kept and fluent the interface is. I never write reviews but this team deserves a shout out. Well done!.Jrider916Version: 7.3.7

Cool app!!!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..Kindle emojiVersion: 7.3.0

One of the first Apps I installed when I got my first iPhone.One of the first Apps I installed on my phone.

Star WalkYou can never get busted for browsing at one of the most educational Apps ever made . It is so educational and brings the universe literally into your hands.

It makes it smarter!!!.Joey bagoVersion: 7.3.5

All the worlds at my fingertipsGreat app, as a stargazer I am always watching the night sky, when I reach for my phone and start the app, I am like a kid again, and the space music in the background literally take me to a far place as I learn all about what I never about the heavenly bodies above and around me..Questionmark2116Version: 7.3.4

Top 3 apps on my phoneI love this app. It’s my go to when I’m trying to point out objects in the sky to my daughter but I’m not entirely sure which object I’m looking at. The app does way more than what I use it for but the features I use are well worth whatever I paid for the app. Absolutely perfect rating..Narragansett AveVersion: 7.3.0

I like it but why didn’t you give the asteroids and comets textures?!I would like if the comets has like an icy texture and the asteroids would have just a better texture. It would also be cool if you were to add the moons to the game. (I don’t mean earth’s moon, I mean all of the other moons, like Mars’s moons.) I’m not trying to be rude though, but I want more updates!.Ronald GrantVersion: 7.3.7

Great app but stick to the astronomy...As an astronomical tool the app works well but I’ve had a few astrological tips surface through my notifications re: Mercury retrograde. They clearly have not spent more than 30 seconds studying astrology yet feel adequately equipped to give their opinion in this area. They should really learn more astrology rather than simply repeating what others might say. Stick to what you know!.Markdouglas76Version: 7.3.7

Too Many UpdatesNice app but the developers keep throwing updates at users every few days and each requires a completely new download of the full and fairly large app, often for minor revisions. Please save the updates for when there are real and noticeable improvements that customers will actually see. For all the updates there's still no moonrise/set times, no Jupiter moon positions, and no labels on stars until you tap on one. Plus the compass is overly sensitive - aim it up past 45 degree altitude and it will rotate wildly in azimuth 180 deg. This makes the program hard to use when aiming up high to identify targets near the zenith. As such, the compass feature is far less useful than it could be and more of a gimmick to impress friends. But actually try to use it and you'll find yourself looking in the wrong direction. SkyVoyager and StarMap Pro do not do this. Developers should spend less time posting frivolous entries at their Facebook site and more time really improving and fixing their app..Amazing SkyVersion: 0

Not perfect, but still greatThere are quite a few similar apps out there now which do essentially the same thing. This one lacks some basic features that other reviewers have pointed out, and the very keen folks will likely prefer StarMap. But this one is great and for the average user it is a bargain at 2.99. I have about 4 similar apps, but this is the one I usually use first to identify an unknown object. Main pros are a very attractive display (by far the nicest) and the SkyLive shortcut which gives all your important information at a glance..ZcelVersion: 0

Good looking but disappointingI use a couple of astronomy apps because none seems to have the "perfect" combination of functions. Star Walk is the better-looking of them, but it lacks a few essentials that I'll list below. Star Walk pros: Stunning visual display. Extensive information on a very large amount of stars/objects. Use current time, manually set time and fast-forward through time at different speeds with a flick of the finger. Love the ability to select an object and have it remain centered through time while it moves agains the background; that's probably Star Walk's biggest plus. Night mode. Star Walk cons: Settings are limited to night mode on/off, constellations on/off, sounds and music on/off, and brightness. Can't turn off ecliptic. Can't display alt/az and ra/dec guides. Constellation lines only appear when constellation is centered in screen; would like to have the option of always having them displayed. Needs a status line indicating currently observed alt/az. Unability to select limiting magnitude can make for a cluttered display. No moon phase calendar. Unable to set viewing location manually using lat/long, only gps and pick from list. No Jupiter's moons calendar. SkyLive has no rise/set time for the Moon, really?!? Constellation lines disappear too early when zooming in. Need the ability to independently select on/off the display of constellation names, lines and figures. Need the ability to select on/off the display of DSOs. Other comments: Landscape mode only. Even with everything it's lacking, I still give it 3-1/2 stars for the fun factor and the eye candy. Unfortunately, it comes up short in too many aspects to deserve any more than that until more features and information are implemented. I use Star Walk to impress friends, I use Pocket Universe for educational/informative star-gazing. Note to developper by the way: noon is 12:00 PM, not 00:00 PM. Option to use 24-hour clock would be nice..AstrowingsVersion: 0

Only 1 problemGreat app, I really love the way you can see all the stars and the way the constellations are outlined. I especially love the way you can get info about the constellations and then click the link to wikipedia to read more. But that's where I have a problem, I can't seem to get off the wikipedia screen back to the sky view, there's an X at the top left corner but I can't seem to click it, I don't know if this is my problem or the apps but it's definitely a problem. Other that that great app..KOONOVersion: 0

Beautiful and FunI'd actually rate this at 4 1/2. The images are beautiful and the scrolling is very responsive. Plus it has a night view. The only thing it needs ,in my opinion, for a 5 is the ability to specify how much detail to see..Bobbd2000Version: 0

Star Walk：Find Stars & Planets Negative Reviews

Too difficult to readMaybe it’s a bad setting or something but I find the data in the app very hard to read. When I first got the app several years ago it was fine but it keeps getting “prettier” and less useful. For one thing, object labels are missing if they are near the edge of the screen. As you get them closer to the center their labels show up as an unreadable gray. Finally, when they are almost in the center they are in a tiny but somewhat readable white font. Why aren’t they white all the time? If you’re using the app to try and find something you have to center the thing first. That’s hard to do if you don’t know where it is. Another hard thing to see is the horizon. It’s very subtly darker than the sky. Why not make it better defined? The planets are hard to find too. The pretty icons on the map can help but the red text is too dark against the black background. Things near the galactic equator are hard because the Milky Way image is much too bright. Finally, the new moon is shown as black. OK, it really is but if you’re trying to find it, good luck. If you center where this invisible object is, of course, then you may be able to spot the tiny white label. It would hurt the prettiness, I guess, but I’d love to see a white outline on it. Finally, this is the slowest app I have when I start it. It has pretty little animations of its name for a good 10 seconds. I didn’t get it for that. Basically it sacrifices utility for aesthetics..HanotehuVersion: 7.2.3

Inaccurate informationI noticed that this app’s Facebook page published a post saying that Venus turns retrograde on July 22nd, 2023 and then direct on September 4th, 2023. I knew right away that this was inaccurate. Venus turns direct on September 3rd in the Western Hemisphere (not the 4th as they had it). I considered that perhaps the info wasn’t based on Western time zones, but it still didn’t make sense. Venus turns retrograde at 1:33am GMT on July 23rd and direct at 1:21 GMT on September 4th. So, if their times were based on GMT, they would have had the date on which Venus turns retrograde as July 23rd, instead of the 22nd as it was in the post they published. When I messaged them to point out their error to them, they responded with the utmost condescension that “there is more than the Western hemisphere” as if I hadn’t considered that already. Dudes, if you are reading this, I was born outside of the Western hemisphere. TLDR: do not count on accuracy. An update in response to the developer’s response: I also emailed their support team twice. No response..FlexiblefishVersion: 7.4.0

So disappointed.I have owned this app for years. Paid the full price for it, 9.99 (at the time really expensive... pretty pricy even now!) I used it seriously three or four times a year for the last 5 years planning camping trips to coincide with cool astronomy events like the total solar eclipse and all sorts of meteor showers. I loved it. Raved about it to my friends. Even showed it off to my dad. It is a part of my start screen and I pulled it out every camping trip. Imagine my disappointment, upon opening it so it can enhance my viewing of the perseid meteor shower, which I am camping for, right now, this very evening and none of the previously available features are available to me unless I pony up MORE money for a subscription service. I am really upset. Farewell, Star Walk. You were a beautifully designed and useful app once. I’m sure you still are beautiful...You enhanced my love for the stars. I guess my wallet is just not large enough to follow you down that subscription rabbit hole. I am so sad..LoriofpandoraVersion: 7.3.0

Ads. So many ads..I have paid for Star Walk twice. Once for the original app and again for Star Walk 2. I cannot tell you how much enjoyment I have gotten from Star Walk over the years. When Star Walk went to subscription based, I just gave it up. This is a luxury I can’t afford. I started to use the app very occasionally, maybe once or twice a year. The features would change or get updated, or I no longer had access to them so I moved on. Tonight we have a stunning moon with a planet trailing it and I wanted to know which one. I guessed right, Jupiter. Then I got flashed with 4 ads and a video in less than 60 seconds. Say what you want, but I am not exaggerating. I had the app sound off and then some Youmusician or something ad came on and the sound was back (probably because the iPad wasn’t silenced, only the app) and we all got to listen to a very loud guitar lesson. My sleeping neighbors would like to say Thank You. Or something that sounds very similar. So disappointed that I can’t and don’t want to pay for something I already bought. I have uninstalled everything..5654432okVersion: 7.4.0

Let’s take away features and demand moneyStar 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..PaulC72Version: 7.3.0

New versions don’t allow for real time movementDisappointing to have app changed to where it doesn’t work as well as it did previously. Must be a real “woke” programmer on the ball here... This is my second poor review of your non-working app after the “woke” developers fraudulent response. Lie... lie... lie.... must be easy to do when you have SO MANY complaints about your backwards heading app! Your app’s newer version removes features that were already existing. Now you have re-engineered the app to NOT perform the same features easily without a lieing “woke” developers improbable changes to your specific phone. After all of that WHY SHOULD ANYONE BOTHER?!!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT USERS WANT TO MESS AROUND TRYING TO FIX WHAT YOU SCREWED UP FROM PRIOR VERSIONS???? Is it true you are from BEIJING CCP DEVELOPERS SCHOOL??????.DanishCasanovaVersion: 7.3.7

So many ads!! And inaccurate🤨😡I got this app and didn’t pay for the whole premium thing and I couldn’t look at the sky for even 5 seconds without seeing an ad! Total waste of time if you have to watch a 10 second ad for every 2-5 seconds you are actually looking at the sky. Do not buy unless you are willing to pay for the premium version. And even then, you might as well get a better rated constellation app if you are going to pay the money. Also little thing to add on, even when I would point it at the ground, it would still give me constellations and satellites, so I’m assuming that this app isn’t even accurate. How this app has 4.7 stars, I don’t know. I don’t recommend anyone to get this.SgmunchyVersion: 7.3.6

Ads every two seconds ruin visionI tried the app but I couldn’t even evaluate it to see if I wanted to try a premium version because a bright white ad pops up quite literally every couple of seconds. The ads are so bright that they ruin your night vision and stargazing becomes impossible. Using the app for two seconds then waiting for a long ad is absurd, but having them ruin your vision for stargazing is even more absurd. Edit after developer response: The content of the ads is not what is unacceptable. Your placing a bright ad every two seconds is. Google is not at fault; you are..MurrayJ3Version: 7.4.0

Blinds you with cheesy ads so you can’t see starsI forgot why I deleted this app, but here is why. Tonight, I wanted to identify what I am seeing in the very clear night sky after the starlink launch. I hold my iPad toward Orion and TA DA, an extremely bright video game ad pops up, temporarily making me unable to see Orion, let alone other less visible constellations. OK, they need money. I waited out the ads. My eyes adjusted to the night again. There are two stars directly overhead I couldn’t identify, so I lift my iPad into position and… another extremely bright cheesy ad. I hate this app..Not lying hereVersion: 7.4.0

GlitchyThe app used to be great but now it’s glitchy. I will be trying to line up my phone with what I see in the sky. An ad will pop up. When I close the ad the app has frozen up. It won’t rotate on the screen. I can’t zoom in and out or even move the screen. I have to force close. Over and over. I touch anything on the screen and there is an ad. I can’t use this app anymore. ** yes I am sure I will get a nasty response from the developer as I have seen on NUMEROUS reviews. If everybody is having the same issue then it’s AN ISSUE!!!**.Mandapanda8140942715Version: 7.4.0

Cool app but freezes constantlyI’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.Fast4estVersion: 7.3.0

Automatically billed meI downloaded this app ages ago and didn’t realize they have been automatically billing me for months. It is cheap but when I clicked to “manage my subscription” it took me to a broken link and then I ended up having to cancel it through my iPhone subscriptions. I don’t appreciate the sneakiness in which they billed me and how difficult they made it to cancel. I will ensure to advise everyone I know to not get this app. In addition, there are dozens of better FREE apps out there.NAM12334Version: 7.3.7

Disappointed it’s the updateUsed to love this app. Now they want you to pay a monthly fee on top of hat I had paid for the app to get the features in the app. Not a good move..Medrose79Version: 7.3.0

Purchased App but now it has advertisingStarwalk doesn’t honour purchases..Sandwichstealerx2Version: 7.4.0

Monetization modelWhen I was a kid, and this app was first put onto the App Store, I loved this app. I had always been interested in astronomy, but being given a way to experience the night sky, especially in a way I could never really experience in a big city, was amazing. I would deliberately get lost in the sea of stars by zooming all the way in and look around for something interesting, or try to find my way back to the sun, sometimes I’d go forward and backward in time using the little scale on the upper right, or change how the sky looked entirely by changing to the different wavelength options they used to have (not that I knew what radio waves, ultraviolet had to do with anything, but that’s besides the point). You could take screenshots of certain areas and save them in a little library, and while constellations weren’t as visually interesting you could still see them through a sort of filter. You could just look up an object, satellite, nebula, etc, and it would all show up, newly launched satellites even had their own tab in the search bar. It had virtually anything you could have possibly wanted for looking for stars with a telescope, or just looking around the night sky the way I often did. The app clearly was popular, it had no real competition because of just how good it was, at least on the App Store. This was probably my favourite app of all time. So what happened? The long and short of it is that this app is no longer what it once was, you have to pay a subscription model to unlock many features that this app once had, if you don’t, you have lost much of the apps former functionality and will be hammered by ads. To the original developers, a genuine, heartfelt thank you for what you did, I wish I could recommend this app, ten years ago, this would have been a 6/5..Syzygy132Version: 7.4.0

Insanely aggressive ad frequencyDownloaded the app to watch the eclipse tonight. Cannot zoom in at all without getting an ad. Just got 4 ads in a row (literally within 2 minutes) so here I am writing an angry review. Shame you’d work so hard on an app and gum up the user experience that much Edit: I’m more than content with having ads in the free experience, but it almost feels like the ad behaviour is a bug. They pop up every time I pinch to zoom in on the sky. Once the ad is finished, the scene goes into a ‘locked’ mode where the scene does not move according to the iPhone accelerometer. I then have to shake my phone to get back to the live view, and do not have my zoom. This feels like the advertisements are impeding the functionality. If zooming in on live preview is a paid function, that should be clearly stated..NickthorpieVersion: 7.3.7

Shows objects in the wrong placeI was looking for the moon using star walk and found out it was showing the moon in the opposite direction it was actually in.MuslimrevertVersion: 7.3.6

Disappointed with the changes :/I had this app a while back and I absolutely loved it, it used to be completely free. Now you have to pay for the most prominent feature on the whole app, the live view. That was the whole point to the app in my opinion. It was really fun and I'm sad with the changes. If at least that specific feature became available for free, I would change my review instantly to 5 stars. Please give us the live feature back for free..A barbzVersion: 7.3.6

Dissappointed as well...Contacted vendor on Twitter to ask why i have to pay and there aren't any grandfathered purchases. I have the iPad app version and it never asked me for any payment. It's with THIS update. Until a new version with a fix is out, i will give this 5-star app a 2 star rating..InsubVersion: 7.3.0
