***Over 10 million users! Winner of Apple Design Award 2010***

“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.”

Key features:

• Night sky map with thousands of stars, constellations and other sky objects.
• Real-time tracking of celestial bodies.
• Augmented reality sky view.
• Deep sky objects to explore in detail.
• Night mode.
• Extensive information about all sky objects.
• The ability to travel in time with “Time machine”
• Astronomical calendar with various celestial events.
• Stunning space pictures in “Picture of the Day”.
• “Sky Live” section with info about the moon phases, the amount of daylight, the visibility of the planets, etc.

Astronomical calendar, deep space objects, meteor showers, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and satellites are available through the STAR WALK PLUS subscription.

‣ Launch the app and point your device at the night sky - you'll see the stars, planets, satellites, and constellations in their proper place from your location. As you move your device, the star map updates in real time.*

‣ Every object you tap has an (i) next to its name, tap it to access some information.

‣ A scale on right is the “Time machine”, slide it to explore the map of the night sky of tomorrow or years ago.

‣ A calendar of celestial events will make sure you never miss anything interesting.

‣ Tap Augmented Reality icon in the upper right corner to add the image from your camera to your sky view.

‣ Use Night Mode to go easy on your eyes and preserve night vision when exploring the Universe.

‣ Star Walk is your personal planetarium. Project to a big screen with no picture quality loss.

*This feature (Star Spotter) is available for devices with digital compass. If your device does not have the digital compass, you can use your fingers to change the view of the sky map.

Abbonamento extra, inaccettabile

L’app sarebbe fantastica e prima lo era visto che l’ho acquistata su ben due account Apple, però adesso hanno aggiunto un abbonamento di un euro al mese, che se pur poco, è comunque una spesa aggiuntiva a quella iniziale. Il mio disappunto e che se l’app fosse gratuita accetterei il compromesso di pagare un abbonamento mensile, ma così no anche perché mi priva della possibilità di vedere ogni tipo di galassia o nebulosa, oltre a meteoriti e satelliti. Inaccettabile.

Se non sei sicuro dell'abbonamento, puoi provare la prova settimanale gratuita.

Il business che rovina tutte le cose

Possiedo Starwalk dalle primissime declinazioni (avevo un iPhone 3Gs)e l’ho acquistato su ben 3account Apple compreso questo.
L’app ERA meravigliosa, ora si è uniformata a quelle masse di App gratuite che sono limitatissime e ogni volta che si entra o si esce da un menu compaiono pubblicità.
Peccato che QUESTA APP SI PAGA!
Non sto dicendo assolutamente di far beneficienza rimuovendo le limitazioni e rendendola gratuita (sarebbe troppo anche in nome della nobilissima divulgazione scientifica che ormai non attrae più i giovani), ma perlomeno se si decide di far pagare un App, almeno sia abbia l’eleganza di eliminare le pubblicità perché così com’è trovo che sia assolutamente scorretto.
Capisco le limitazioni del prodotto base per “invogliare” gli appassionati (ma solo quelli super accaniti però) ad acquistare l'abbonamento (ormai non paghiamo abbonamenti per tutto d’altronde?), però riempire di pubblicità un prodotto che si è fatto pagare trovo che oltre ad essere inaccettabile è anche di cattivo gusto.
Penso che non utilizzerò più questa applicazione e migrerò verso piattaforme che seguono una strategia commerciale eticamente più corretta.
Davvero un delitto rovinare un prodotto che era così meraviglioso! Peccato...

In precedenza, l'applicazione è stata pagata. Di recente l'abbiamo reso gratuito e aggiunto un abbonamento. Per quegli utenti che hanno acquistato l'applicazione in precedenza, quando è stata pagata, tutto dovrebbe rimanere come prima (senza pubblicità e abbonamenti).

Meravigliosa

Scienza e poesia. Non so nulla di astronomia e l'ho acquistata dopo il suggerimento di un amico e ora ogni notte punto il mio telefono al cielo e viaggio nell'universo. Meravigliosa!
