It’s design beauty is unparalleled by any other astronomy app. Easy layout and a real pleasure to use. Definitely one of the best apps available. Thanks for putting so much effort into design and features! It would be great to see in future updates an equatorial grid to assist with using a telescope. Once again you guys are awesome!

Thank you very much for your support! We appreciate it.
Good, though have some requests
kwar-79
Pretty amazing, though i would like the option to upscale the font size of the stars when viewing. I can zoom to a part of sky to clarify the objects, but names of stars auto shrink / scale small again, gah my eyes need a magnifier on my iphone6. And. Can we get some alternative star names mode- eg australian indigenous stories.. eg where is the emu? - and relate that to scientific names for comparison. Also there are common colloquial names that would also help... ‘the pointers’ the ‘southern cross’.... crux... for beginners learning ... thanks for the great work so far.

It takes really long to load
Anie101
Why does it take long to load??? I haven’t even had a chance to get into the app I’ve been waiting for over an hour for it to load I’m wondering if it’s an update or data loading can you please check the servers to see if it’s either my phone or the app loading I’ll give it four stars because it looks like a good app but I just can’t load into it.

Beware
kiki93,93/93
I thought I was purchasing this app in one payment . but 3 times in the last 10 days star walk 2 has taken $4.49 from my bank account without my permission, for what I assume is in app purchases? That I did not want or request ! I did not even have the app open and it took money from my account ! . Beware . They just steal your money over and over - and it doesn’t show up in your apple subscriptions menu - so it took me a while to Even figure out who was taking my money without my permission .
Developer Response
Star Walk 2 takes nothing from bank accounts, as any other application on the Apple app store. All the transaction occur on the app store's side, since it the only payment system for iOS. Every time you are about to purchase something on the app store, iOS asks for the confirmation from your side, so if you have been charged by Apple, you have agreed with that. If you experience difficulties with managing your subscriptions, please contact our support team at support@vitotechnology.com, they will provide detailed instructions.
Star Walk 2 is ready for your next skywatching adventure!
We fixed in-app purchases — they drifted a little off orbit, but now they’re back on track.
Everything in the app has been checked and is ready for the June Planetary Alignment.
If you notice any issues, please contact support. And if you’re enjoying Star Walk 2, don’t forget to leave us a review.
Clear skies and happy observing!
