ive had this app since I was 12 and I've loved it ever since. my favorite thing was when I used to have a telescope and be able to point it to the sky whenever I was informed the planets were aligning or different stars even the ISS was above me. I used to have a lifetime subscription that I payed 5 bucks for but now I can't redeem it probably because I've had the same account for years. definitely worth installing and buying premium even. so many different features and studies to learn from. ty

It's not every day we receive as detailed and thoughtful feedback as yours. Thank you so much for your kind words!

It's either using a location other than where I am or something is off with my phone, because the directions: N,S,E,W aren't pointing the same as my compass. I've never had this problem before so I hope it's just a glitch. Trying to see comet and finally found it about 15 to 20 degrees N of where this was showing. I caught it right before it disappeared behind the treeline. I'll score higher if it straightens out later. Just 2 for now though.

I paid for the premium to have a lifetime access and all features and addons. Worked nicely for 1 day. Since then it simply refuses to find my actual location. It flips everything 180 degrees. My GPS essentials app works fine. Google Maps works perfectly. Once you pay for the app premium it stops working. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to avoid this app.

The position of objects depends on the location that has been selected in the Star Walk 2 settings, as well as the data returned by your phone's hardware compass. Please check your location settings and calibrate the compass by following the instructions on the screen in AR mode.
