Do you like stars? Star Walk is a stellar augmented reality app that labels all the stars, constellations, and satellites you point your iPad at. You can track the ISS, find out what constellation you’ve been looking at from your bedroom window and get a lot of exciting and educative information. Combine that with the amazing Apple Design Award winning graphics and highest quality content, you get the magic so highly praised by our customers:
“This app is amazing and so accurate, it's unbelievable. Whoever created it is a genius. I have to take an atmosphere and space class and the app helped me study, learn every single constellation, as well as other things like moon phases and everything. I can't say enough about it! Also, the graphics are incredible :)” by Maura&Emmy

Star Walk- It's a way to get into space without taking your feet off the ground :D
By far, one of the best apps I have.
Although, Vito, we are not all on Facebook or Twitter, It would be cool if announcements like, e.g. that shuttle taking off, would be announced in the app and not on Twitter. Like a separate section labeled News, or something like that. And also, on the calendar (Which is one of my favorite features) It would be nice to have an option which enables you to put the events to your ical, OR have an alert system you can set up for events you don't wanna miss.
Keep up the good work! (P.S. LOVED THE LEMUR TANGO!)
