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
