Star Walk for iPad
Astronomy apps were quite popular on iPhone. But the iPad breathes a whole new life into this app category. The larger screen makes it much easier to watch the sky on the go and pick up new things in the process. Star Walk is one of those top astronomy apps for iPhone that enables you to explore the stars and take your game to the next level. It is like your own personal planetarium that will not only get you familiar with objects in the sky, it helps you find cool astronomical events to watch in person.
Star Walk has something for amateur and professional stargazers. It covers 9000 stars, planets, and constellations. It’s digital compass feature will give you a live presentation of what you see in the sky. As you move the sky will start following your movements on your screen. You can also track moon phases and all kinds of fun information about the Sun and other planets in our solar system.
The Time Machine feature is quite handy as well. You can use the time slider available in this app to find out the sky of today, the future, and the past. So if you are into finding out more about historical events and their relationship to star alignments, Star Walk is quite handy. The picture of the day should give you even more reasons to use this app on a daily basis.
What I like about this app is the fact that it’s pretty easy to use and comes with an intuitive interface. You can easily go through the options and even bookmark your observations. The search functionality allows you to find the stars, planets, and messier objects that you are looking to watch. The educational information provided about the objects in the sky is quite helpful for beginners as well.
All in all, if you are into astronomy and are looking for an iPad app that has the looks and features to help you explore the sky on your handheld device, look no further than Star Walk.
