WHAT IT DOES:
Star Walk enables you to point your iPhone at the sky and see what stars, constellations, and satellites you are looking at in real-time. Please note, you will need a 3GS/4/4th gen iPod Touch for motion tracking, otherwise this app will be just a beautiful info-packed time-sensitive interactive star atlas that allows you to set your location manually to give you the most accurate picture.

Wow!
This is my favorite app on my iPhone! The design is stunning yet accurate and informative. I have other (much more expensive) star apps on my cell phone and this is by far the best one. The celestial events were a wonderful added bonus. If there was a way to push notifications on the dates of these celestial events this app would be absolutely perfect. Still an excellent app well worth the money!
Thank you
For the update! 😊
Foundation for a Romantic Date OR Star Class with the Kiddos
This app is spectacular! My son and his wife took their 3yr old outside for a night picnic and star gazing. Not only were they able to see what the heavens looked like when Jesus was born, but also when they were born. They showed her what the sky will look like when she's 10, 13, 18, & 21 they were able to show her what would be going on up in the heavens when she graduated HS and College. But most importantly, she was able to see the star we bought in memory of the GrandPoppa she wouldn't have the joy of meeting in this life, but now she can see his star with the aid of this app and she talks to him. Who knows, maybe when they're in Heaven together they can fly to his star and see it and touch it and walk on it ... All because she learned its address and location on Star Walk. Thanks to all of y'all and all those who helped bring this brilliant app to us. It has so many uses and It is a must have for anyone studying astronomy or is just going on a blind date. BIG HINT HERE GUYS!!! Women love star gazing. Bring the wine. The blanket, the iPhone for soft music (I think you can change the app music, on iPad but if I'm wrong on this the app's music is terrific and sets great atmosphere. ENJOY HOWEVER YOU USE ITU
