Star Walk 2

The original Star Walk remains one of the best apps for budding stargazers of all levels, but Star Walk 2 has added some excellent features for night-time jaunts. It will identify the location of stars, planets, meteors and nebulae, the International Space Station and comets. Point it at the sky and you’ll soon be marvelling at the cosmos.

This is an app that combines the weight and accuracy of up-to-the-minute astronomical data based on precise calculations, with a smooth, clean interface and a design whose presentation of the night sky will not only illuminate your device’s screen, but also fill your ears with atmospheric brilliance and inflame your imagination.

Star Walk 2 is a stargazing app with a beautiful, crisp UI. It offers a variety of camera modes: free roam, scroll/manual, and augmented reality. You can travel in time to see skies from the past and future, and the app also boasts an interesting "What's New" feed of the latest astronomy news.
