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