This app is great I've had it for years on many different devices and they all worked flawlessly. The live view where you point the phone and it shows what is in the sky is very helpful when using a telescope as are the coordinates given in the information about specific objects. Great app all together I would recommend to anyone with an interest in the wonders of the night sky

Excellent App. Feature packed, works well on various devices, even comes with a serene backing music. Night mode (all red) is a very intelligent feature that pro astronomers will appreciate. Provides updates as to ISS overfly time, which is fun especially if you are a licensed HAM. Augmented Reality mode actually makes sense for this app, in the best implementation I've seen for AR technology.

This app is a stargazing experience on your phone! So full of information and the graphics are beautifully done. For just a few dollars you get so much more additional content. The money they ask for is well earned, being that this app is so great and put together so well. The low volume music that is playing in the background is such a nice touch also. My accolades to the developer or developers! Post Script, the app has dark mode! Very, very cool.

Im using this app with a Samsung S9. It has some nice improvements from the first version. However the tracking of celestial objects needs some improvement. I'm limited on left to right calibration only. Once I matched up the moon, it doesn't stay matched up as I turn around. Star Walk on the iPad2 did a great job of tracking.

Beautiful and highly engaging! the apps amazing interface and intuitive controls guide you on a real time exploration of the galaxy and shows what can be viewed right above you just point your phone up and the app will tell you what you are standing under, also with the play pass everything is unlocked that the app has to offer and it's quite a lot and worthy of checking out.

Really cool app that does not accurately track location & direction. I have calibrated it tons of times and it is still a good bit off from where the stars and planets actually are, which kind of defeats the purpose... UPDATE: They updated the app and the tracking is much, much better. Still not perfect, but the fact that the devs are nice enough to respond to my issue and help with an update make we give them 5 stars regardless. Thanks for the customer service.

This is one of my favorite apps of all time. It is a great way to learn about the constellations and pretty much anything that is visible in the night sky. I also really appreciate the notifications about upcoming events of interest like meteor showers etc. My only complaints are: - the compass is not aligned well - constant payments for everything, even once purchasing the app (I ended up paying for everything though and now it doesn't bother me lol)

I downloaded the free version. really like it and then upgraded to the full version. There are so many features and notifications mean I am seeing so many more objects in the sky. A must for anyone who wants to know more and see many celestial objects. there is a learning curve to utilize everything this app has to offer. So take a cew minutes to acquaint yourself after you download.

update: actually is the permission of displaying pop up window of the google play been restricted. there is nothing to do with network. hope add some notice to help user debug. previous: can't buy, connection error. I used the free one first, and I want to buy the extra content but fail to purchase. so I found this one and paid, however the extra content still need to pay and still connection error.

It's OK. Coming from Sky Guide this app has way less deep sky objects but it's still pretty good. For some reason you can't select or search for the (Large Magellanic Cloud) which is very strange as you can search for the Small Magellanic Cloud. Also a lot of the deep sky objects are poorly pasted into the app. Please make it look like it's actually supposed to be there instead of taking a screenshot and pasting into the app. (That Small Magellanic Cloud picture is horrible. Please use a better one) Last thing, I hate how when you zoom into a deep sky object and when you unselect it the whole object the whole thing magically disappears. Why? This app is only good if you want quick information on it. Don't expect to spend more then 10 minutes on it. Adrian

It's a pretty good app. I paid for the ad-free version. But I don't see any options to disable *very* frequent notifications about random astronomical events. And I don't believe in cannot be made to believe that that's an android OS problem. I have plenty of apps on my phone that push certain catagories of notifications but not others.

Dont forget to uninstall the free version(Android) if you had that app prior to the paid version. I had both the free and paid version and continued receiving notifications from both. Everytime I would open a notification it would take me to the free version with ads. Super annoying, until I uninstalled the Sky Walk 2 Free version. For some reason I thought it was the year 2021 and the app developers had this figured out.

This app is one of the best I've tried when it comes to how it works and with it's info. I've used both this and the free version for a couple of years now. I'd give it 5 star if I could regain my purchase to the fullest but no. This one and the free version won't extract the extended solar system and when I've spoken to the developer I get the run around. It's not an uninstall and install or soft reset or factory reset of phone. Or storage issues! It's not a SIM card or SD card either. So help?

I downloaded starwalk 2 free, then paid about $6.96 for all the extra extensions. I couldn't access them, so I went ahead and paid for the starwalk 2 full app, logged back into that and now it's telling me I have to pay for the bundle again. I was supposed to have been sent some redeem codes, but I never got those. Can't recommend this app at all right now. Maybe if the developers fix this problem, then I will be able to recommend it. *tried to get a refund for $3.00 and was denied.

As a constant stargazer, this app has been an amazing tool in helping me navigate the cosmos. It affords you the ability to find out which constellations are nearby, which planets are within those constellations, all with a streamlined presentation. One of my favorite features is the photo feature that allows you to take a picture of your surroundings, while pointing out and drawing on the constellation lines. This is definitely a fun and useful app!

This application is wonderful, in many ways. It's simply gorgeous. But I've noticed there are a few things that could make it way better. You could add more features for the spectrum. Veiwng planets , galaxies, and the like in infrared, or gamma. Also, it would be cool to see voyager 1 and 2!. Also, quasars, black holes, and exoplanets! I've purchased the full version of this app and I love it, I just noticed those few things. Hats off. I'll give you a Constellation, of 5 shining stars. 🌟

I love this app. The graphics are amazing and there's tons of info. The ONLY thing I don't like about the app is that when you set a time and date to look at different dates' skies, the slider used to adjust is WAY too touchy. Most other sky apps use an input system where you just type the date and time. With this slider on Star Walk 2, you spend more than twice as much time just trying to get the slider to stop on the correct one without flying past it. It's very very annoying.

Probably the best app that does what it does, but it is unintuitive to the point of artistry. There's two views, one which you move your phone around and the things in the sky stay in the same positions, and than another which starts from whatever position it was in before you switched and then you can move around with your finger in the app. Getting it to do anything and stay in the view that you want is basically impossible. Been using it for years and I still can't do it.

This app is excellent for quickly finding space objects in your location. I love the fact that it's fairly accurate in finding things like the green commet, planets, stars, and some galaxies in our local cluster. The app is pretty easy to use with an intuitive interface to quickly navigate menus settings. They also thought to put in night mode (red) to protect your night vision. My only complaint is that every update, they request a review. I know this can be skipped but it's annoying.

As a lover of stars and beginner in astrophotography, a friend recommended this app and it has changed how I can look at the sky. I love this app. I only get annoyed with the one type of default overlay; what the constellation represents as an object or person etc. The good news is I can remove it! The ability for it to locate via compass is time saving and makes things easier for me as a beginner. It can pinpoint the horizon which is also extremely helpful. Worth every penny!
