Main features of our stargazer app:

✦ Constellations and stars in real time. You’re presented with the sky map of stars and constellations on the night sky when you open the app. Learn all about celestial bodies (general info, gallery, Wikipedia articles, astronomy facts).

✦ With our constellation star finder you'll easily identify stars and planets in the sky. Move your device around, and this app will calculate the device’s orientation and also your GPS location, so it will provide you with an accurate presentation of the arrangement of celestial bodies in the night sky.*

✦ Use Time Machine to diversify sky observation and explore the sky map of different periods. To do this, tap the clock icon in the top left corner and slide the right edge dial down for the past and up for the future position sky objects.

✦ Identify stars, constellations and planets in the night sky with our mobile observatory. Night mode bathes the interface in a red glow in order to make the sky observation more comfortable for your eyes.

✦ This night sky viewer allows you to change the colour of the display to represent various kinds of radiation: gamma, X-Ray, visible spectrum, Infrared, and Radio, etc. Explore the map of the sky in its various representations.

✦ Star Walk's mobile observatory also gives astronomy facts and daily stats like sunrise and sunset times, visible planets, moon phases and much more. You won't need astronomy books and atlases.

✦ AR stargazing. Enjoy map of the sky, stars and planets in augmented reality. With our star chart app you can merge live footage from your camera with the app’s presentation of the night sky.

Even though I now have Star Walk 2, I wanted to keep this for the simpler layout which is sometimes easier to use when sky watching. This lacks many of the features that SW2 has but just like the difference between Solar Walk & Solar Walk 2, this has aspects that weren't incorporated into the 2nd version. Ideal for an astronomy beginner & the $5 annual upgrade fee is well worth it. EDIT: update seems to have restored functionality which is great because when this works it is fantastic!

AWESOME APP! This app is amazing. You can touch an object, star, planet, satellite and an info button will appear at the bottom. Touch that and it tells you all about the item with additional photos etc. The background music just takes you away while you explore the cosmos from the comfort of your chair. I haven't gone outside yet with this but plan on it. I'm sure it will help me find items in the night sky.

It used to be that buying the app got you all the features. Today I learned that they've added ads to an app I paid for years ago. That, plus the fact that the ui is broken now (pressing certain things, including the option for upgrading to the ad-free version, makes the entire ui disappear until I restart the app) means I'll be finding a replacememt app. Honestly I could forgive the ui- bugs happen, I could wait till they fix it- but the ads are just disrespectful.
