Sequel to acclaimed astronomy guide app Star Walk out now on iOS

August 21, 2014

Love stargazing? Then you’ll be delighted to know that Star Walk 2 has just been launched on iOS.

Star Walk 2 is, of course, the sequel to Star Walk, the popular astronomy guide app that won an Apple Design Award in 2010.

Like the original app, Star Walk 2 lets you explore the heavens and view various astronomical data just by pointing your iOS device at the sky. But what’s new in Star Walk 2?

Well, Star Walk 2 features a new interface design that promises both speed and simplicity. This new design is coupled with a new soundtrack for a more engaging experience. The new app also boasts new handcrafted artwork for constellations, inspired by minimalist low-poly art.

Check out this video for a demo of Star Walk 2, featuring the zodiac constellation Capricornus:

It offers a $1.99 in-app purchase for unlocking all additional content, including new true-to-life 3-D models of planetary nebulae, dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and man-made satellites. Models of constellations are free for a limited time.
