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.

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.

Also, the graphics are incredible :)” by Maura&Emmy

New music :(
Upgrade does away with the old music for more intrusive sounds. That was a downgrade really.
Starwalk
Like the old music better, gave kind of an eerie sound, this new music is not suited for this program. Maybe set it up giving you a choice, old or new.
Thamks for update
Great to have compass orientation working so well. Thought I'd lost my sense of direction
