The free version is a little glitchy. Sometimes it seems to loose proper directionality, although that may be my devices fault, or some other interference. And I sometimes get frustrated not being able to look at things that are on the horizon line, but otherwise this is a super cool app. You get a lot for free, recommend giving it a shot.

Thank you for the positive feedback! A hardware compass sometimes returns bad data and need to be calibrated. You can easily do that following the instructions at https://starwalk.space/en/tutorials/fix-sky-displacement-tutorial

It's one thing to have an app that shows you where the moon is, the planets, cool stars, etc. But this one... adding the detail to make the sky look real with different shades of color and shapes makes this one very attractive to learn with. Excellent detail, in my opinion. Go ahead and buy out the ads. It's worth it.

update: now to find objects, you need to have in app purchases. for an app you already paid for, it's unacceptable. It's OK. You can search for items in the sky by moving your phone around. You can change the time. But you can't do both. I would really like to be able to change the time, search for an item and then be able to use my phone to get an approximate location for that time. But it always resets when I press the compass button... disappointing.

If you have previously purchased the premium access in Star Walk 2 Plus, log in to the same app store account on the same app store that you have previously purchased the app on. The Star Spotter (the AR) feature makes sense for the current time, otherwise you won't match real objects with those on the screen.

What's new

Star Walk 2 just got better! We’ve made viewing images smoother and more consistent across the app. We’ve also fine-tuned everything for the major sky events on August 12. Update now and get ready to explore the sky!
