The new version doesn’t even work - it does not respond to phone movements, so you have to move the screen around with finger gestures. The addition of ads completely ruins it. Delete. ### 3/5 — No more today widget *2026-05-05* There used to be a very handy today widget to quickly check sunset and sunrise that simply got removed, it was the only utility of this app for me. Now I have to open the app and navigate all the way to sky live just to check the same information. This is why I always regret updating apps… **Developer response:** Unfortunately, current version of iOS does not support the Star Walk original widget, so it has nothing to do with the app directly. We will consider adding new widget format in the future updates. ### 3/5 — Mais ou menos *2026-03-06* É muito bom para saber as informações dos planetas mais tem que pagar quase tudo **Developer response:** Você pode iniciar o teste gratuito na seção Star Walk Plus do aplicativo e desbloquear todo o conteúdo adicional. ### 2/5 — It was good app before *2026-02-21, version 7.4.0* Earlier few years ago i purchaes app and was good working. Now when you zoom in all advertisements came out and freeze map after that, basically not working. I wouldn’t trust any version of starwalking anymore ### 2/5 — Great! …in theory… *2026-01-22, version 7.4.0* Great app, in theory. I understand having adds in the free version of the app, but they will hit you with multiple adds within 30 seconds of the last one, making it IMPOSSIBLE to even attempt to use. Update to respond to their response: it most DEFINITELY did! I would gladly post a screen recording of it here if I could! How dare you lie like this. NEVER doing business with people of suck low ethical standards. ### 2/5 — Don’t subscribe by mistake. *2025-12-24, version 7.4.0* I Star-walked straight into a subscription that I don’t want. There are no instructions that tell me how to cancel the subscription that I don’t want. Dodgy behaviour from the developer of a questionable app. Unhelpful and manipulative. ### 2/5 — Great! …in theory… *2025-12-23, version 7.4.0* Great app, in theory. I understand having adds in the free version of the app, but they will hit you with multiple adds within 30 seconds of the last one, making it IMPOSSIBLE to even attempt to use. ### 2/5 — Com o tempo passou a cobrar por quase tudo *2025-12-09* No inicio ótimo, as versões mais recentes cobram por coisas que eram incluidas **Developer response:** Se você já comprou o aplicativo e todo o conteúdo estava disponível, basta entrar na mesma conta Apple que você usou para comprá-lo e reinstalar o aplicativo. ### 1/5 — Do Not DOWNLOAD *2025-11-24, version 7.4.0* Omg nooooo. Can’t see anything. Ads popping up. Ugh. Was good terrible now. ### 2/5 — 情報が古すぎて… *2025-10-30* レモン彗星を探しても探しても無いなと思っていたら、全く別の2019年のレモン彗星が検索で表示されてて、ただ何も無い暗闇を1時間見させられた… 知らん間に新版が出ているようなのでそちらをどうぞ。 アプリ削除。 **Developer response:** 問題がある場合は、support@vitotechnology.com のサポートチームに報告することをお勧めします。 ### 1/5 — Outrageously steep learning curve *2025-10-10, version 7.4.0* Maybe this is more a research tool than entertainment. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who’s not at least a deep hobbyist. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 카메라와 AR기능이 작동하지 않음 *2026-08-06, version 7.5.0* 아이폰14 최신 업데이트 사용자이고 앱실행시 제목처럼 작동하지 않았어요. 첫구동시 앱이 워하는 위치와 알림 모두 허용했습니다. 초반에 잠시 보이다가 카메라 ui와 자이로ui 모두 화면에서 사라졌습니다. 재설치를 해봤지만 그후로는앱화면에서 ui가 나타나지 않았고 아이폰 설정의 앱설정에서 카메라허용이 사라졌습니다. ### 1/5 — Still ads and not showing what the deep space objects or the satellites are *2026-08-05, version 7.5.0* I subscribed to get rid of the ads every time I click on anything and to be able to identify deep space objects and satellites but what do you know there are Still so many ads and still not showing what the deep space objects or the satellites are ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-06-01, version 7.5.0* When I click on an object it doesn’t let me exit the object so now I have to completely reload the app to click on another object I don’t know if it’s just in iPad problem but it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Free version is awful *2026-05-28, version 7.5.0* If I can get the app to run it seems very good, but I click something and I get a 15 second ad. I return to the main screen zoom in on a star and get a 15 second ad. I want to give this app a try but when I can’t even fully test drive it why would I want to pay for it. ### 1/5 — It will show the stars *2026-03-13, version 7.4.0* This free app sucks. You can’t get any info before an add. Then after 30 sec. maybe you will get the X to close the add then before you can find something you bet another add. ### 1/5 — The developers are rude *2026-02-01, version 7.4.0* The app is fine ig but it does have a lot of ads and every time someone complains about the ads the developers just say to pay for it and do the free trial but the trial is temporary and not everyone can to spend money on apps also they deleted my negative review after I responded to them for being rude ### 1/5 — The answers are way too much… Listen Before you judge… *2026-01-15, version 7.4.0* So when I first got this game, my little brother loved it and I was so happy for him, but then we realized how many ants it has so my brother asked me to do the free trial and we did it and it was great while it lasted, but then when it was over, it was back to the ads, and my brother was screaming so much because he hated the ad so much and he told me to just buy it and he told me it’s not that hard to just buy it, but it is really hard because I’m very poor and we can barely even afford food for me and my brother I’m the only one taking care of him and so my brother got so mad after I told him that and he screamed so loud because he really liked star walk and he screamed so loud in the neighbors came and asked if he was OK and I said yes but then they called CPS on me because they didn’t believe me and then I told them it was just your game, but they didn’t believe me either and I tried to convince them everything and they said that I have three days to prove it to them, but I only needed five minutes. I told them to download the game on their phone and as soon as they did, they got so annoyed by the ads that they started cussing and screaming and then they said OK we believe you and now I have my little brother and now I became rich because my story went viral online and now I can’t afford it, but I refuse to pay it because of all the trauma that was caused and I got my brother a better app that doesn’t do this. Update: I see the developers left a passive aggressive reply to my review and were rather unprofessional because they know that they’re wrong and for your information I think I would know more about my little brother than you do and the phone place gives us a very good discount because of how poor we used to be, but we’re not anymore. And there’s a very big difference from choosing not to buy my little brother food and literally not being able to buy him food. Because you just said “ buy your little brother food instead of a smart phone. “ Also, you don’t help prove your point at all by using ad homonyms if you don’t know what that means go get smarter and find out. ### 1/5 — The answers are way too much… Listen Before you judge… *2026-01-05, version 7.4.0* So when I first got this game, my little brother loved it and I was so happy for him, but then we realized how many ants it has so my brother asked me to do the free trial and we did it and it was great while it lasted, but then when it was over, it was back to the ads, and my brother was screaming so much because he hated the ad so much and he told me to just buy it and he told me it’s not that hard to just buy it, but it is really hard because I’m very poor and we can barely even afford food for me and my brother I’m the only one taking care of him and so my brother got so mad after I told him that and he screamed so loud because he really liked star walk and he screamed so loud in the neighbors came and asked if he was OK and I said yes but then they called CPS on me because they didn’t believe me and then I told them it was just your game, but they didn’t believe me either and I tried to convince them everything and they said that I have three days to prove it to them, but I only needed five minutes.

I saw it with my own eyes. ### 5/5 — Amazing night sky app *2026-06-12, version 7.5.0* Amazing and inspiring app. I seem to have lost my Apple Watch app though, has it been removed? ### 5/5 — 이거 넘 좋아용 *2026-06-07* 이거 대박이에용 제가 본 앱중에 가장좋아용 이거 3만들어주세용(됀다면용) **Developer response:** 별 5개 만점 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다. 소중한 평가를 저희와 커뮤니티에 공유해주셔서 감사합니다. ### 5/5 — Years *2026-05-24, version 7.5.0* Have had it for years when it first came out and use it regularly. Love it. ### 5/5 — Отличная программа *2026-04-30* Программа классная, пользуюсь тыщу лет, если память не изменяет, то с 4го айфона. Уже и дети выросли, но периодически в неё захожу, читаю про звёзды, планеты да всякие небесные тела. Спасибо разработчикам, что не забросили своё детище. **Developer response:** Не каждый день мы читаем такие подробные и замечательные отзывы! Большое спасибо за добрые слова, безумно приятно ) ### 5/5 — Not used much, but… *2026-04-30, version 7.5.0* I don’t use it as much as I thought I would, but believe me, it’s worth every penny you spend. You’ll never have buyer’s remorse. ### 5/5 — Too good! *2025-11-29, version 7.4.0* Too good man. Perfect ads at perfect timeing & the real star colors. Ty for the app! ### 5/5 — 素晴らしいソフトです *2025-11-29* 素晴らしいソフトです。もう紙の星座早見盤には戻れないと思います。 ひとつ困っていることは、 天体の星などの情報を見ると、“<”を押しても元の画面に戻れないことです。 iPad Air第5世代　iOS 8.6.1 **Developer response:** 5つ星のレビューをいただき、誠にありがとうございます。何か問題が発生した場合は、support@vitotechnology.comまでサポートチームにご連絡ください。 ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2025-09-28* 40 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
