Ratings and Reviews
😍 love it
I think Star walk 2 is very useful and fun because you can see all the stars or planets around you. I gave it 3 stars because it is useful,fun,amazing,and educational app. The reason why I didn’t give it five stars is because it could be more satisfying but it is still a great game for kids and adults to enjoy.

Please feel free to remove this review as the 9 yr old reviewer doesn’t really know what she means by “more satisfying”. Our entire family use and enjoy the app regularly and think it’s great!

Love it!!
I love this app!! But tonight my phone won’t let me zoom in on the deep sky objects to see their shapes and colours. I’ve had this app a couple of months and use a iPhone 6. Any suggestions? Thanks :)
