About this app
Overview, features and application details
A beautiful interactive star map for your pocket. Star Walk 2 shows stars, planets, and constellations as you move your phone across the sky — no telescope needed.
Star Walk 2 is one of those apps that makes you want to go outside at night. Hold your phone up to the sky and it overlays the names of stars, constellations, planets, and satellites in real time, all rendered in a gorgeous deep-space style.
Under the hood there is a serious catalog: over 200,000 celestial objects, from bright planets down to faint deep-sky targets. A time machine lets you drag the sky forwards or backwards, so you can watch how the stars move or check what was up on the night you were born.
The augmented reality mode is the party trick — planets and constellations float over your actual surroundings through the camera. There are also curated Sky Live schedules, constellation myths, and a Kids section that makes it a genuinely good pick for families.
It is free to start, with the Plus upgrade unlocking deeper catalogs and an ad-free view. If you have ever pointed at a bright light in the sky and wondered what it was, this app answers in about three seconds.
