StarWalk – Best iPhone Star Gazing App

karthik — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 14:50:00 +0000

Are you an amateur Astronomer or an astute star gazer?

StarWalk is going to keep you looking at the sky even more with its elegant visual stars gazing iPhone app making Astronomy fun and easy for everyone.

You can discover all stars, planets, constellations and learn more about them. StarWalk features some amazing graphics and has information for over 9000 celestial objects.

StarWalk’s one of the most interesting features is the Picture of the Day. Clicking on the excalamtion mark brings out a slew of pictures and you can tap on the –i- sign to learn more about the picture. The picture selection is excellent and the latest version sends you a Push notification whenever there is a new picture.

Time Machine feature takes your sky to how it will look tonight or in a year’s time.

You can see current Moon Phase or take you through Moon Phases as you move through time using the clock icon.

As a 3GS user, this is the feature I am most excited about. iPhone 3GS’ Digital Compass lets you point your iPhone in a direction and see the sky representation in your iPhone as you see in reality. SkyWalk uses your Digital Compass reading to learn which way you are looking and then you can move up, down, left or right to change your iPhone sky view.

As a very very amateur astronomer this App makes it incredibly useful to show off. I mean, makes it easy to learn something new about the sky I am looking at.

Plus, you can always click on the –w- icon to see the Wikipedia information on an object.

If all that is not enough, you also get to save your favorites, change to night mode, select brightness (very useful), turn on/off sound, etc via Settings.

SkyWalk gets a really high mark for the awesome graphics and the integration with the 3GS Digital Compass. Plus, the matrix like green display and sounds and the red infra-red like night vision are just plain cool.

For me, Skywalk has to be the #1 star gazing iPhone App I have come across. If you have an interest in Astronomy, I don’t think you will be disappointed with the $4.99 your wallet will lose.
