  • Epic But Could Have A More Cool Space Objects And Stuff!

    By imlike this cool app
    I Love This App TBH. But Here’s A Couple Of Objects I Wish I Could Find In This App, 1. ‘Omuamua (1I/‘Omuamua). I Was Able To Find This Object Long Ago In This App But Couldn’t Find It Again. So Could You Add ‘Omuamua Please? 2. C/1980 E1 (Bowells) [If I’m Correct] it Would Be Cool If C/1980 E1 (A Comet That Used To Have An Orbital Period Of 7.1 Million Years But Now Is A Hyperbolic Comet) Would Have Been Added! Also Add It Pls? Also It Would Be Cool For You To Add The Breakthrough StarShot Program. Proxima Centauri And It’s ExoPlanets View Other Exoplanets, The Scattered Disk And The Inner And Outer Oort Cloud Along With Some Oort Cloud Objects. Like 2012 VP113 And 2015 TG387, (also add black holes & Galaxies pls lol) Hope You Could Try To Add These!

  • Love it but needs a couple tweaks

    I love this app so much! I wish the zoom behavior was better. For example, I am looking at the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet. I am trying to visualize where the comet is in relation to the Earth (something I use this app a lot for). When I click on the comet, it zooms me into the comet. When I try to zoom out and see where the earth is, it snaps me out to the whole solar system, where I can see plant 9’s orbit. It’s either zoomed into the comet or the entire solar system; there is no in-between. It’s quite frustrating. I know this is an old app, but I love it! Please revamp the zoom! I prefer to use Solar Walk 1, but it doesn't have as many objects (including the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet).

  • Great app

    I just love being able to see the planets and stars in space Gives a better idea of their location and proximity to earth with great accuracy. I love the app so much and refer footage ever we have discussions on our solar system. Or meteor showers. have recommended the app to family members that are interested in our universe as well. The music is also appropriate Thank you.

  • Please fix glaring navigation issue!

    Great concept. Great catalogue, good visuals. An excellent tool for education and for hobbyists. I’ve been a user of both solar walk 2 and star walk 2 (which I love a lot) since I was a kid. I recommend these apps to anyone with an interest in space, of all ages. My biggest gripe is the navigation, which is extremely STICKY. You’re either stuck way up close to whatever object you’re looking at… or, if you try to zoom out past a certain range, it forces you out of clear view of it, and centers you on the sun. Want to zoom in a little more? Nope, can’t do that, let’s bring you right back to the planet. There’s no free scroll, either, which I desperately desire. Solar walk 1 handles the navigation better, though it’s a little bit too elastic for my taste… I run into this issue most often while trying to track comets. I want to be able to see the position of the perihelion from an inner solar system perspective, I want to see its closest approach to the earth as I scroll through time… And all this should be done relative to the sun, without actually being selected on the sun. Instead, you either only get to see a close up of a featureless rock, or get to look at the dot signifying the rock’s position right next to the sun from the orbit of Neptune. No in-between that you can stop on. The most frustrating part is, I can see the frame I want to see for a split second, while it flings me uncontrollably between these two positions. I know you have the data! Please, just show it to me! This singular issue makes my experience with this app clunky and frustrating. Now that I have seen all of the educational content the app has to offer, I don’t often find reasons to come back to it, like I do with Star Walk 2. This would genuinely change if the navigation issue was fixed. I love the apps you guys make. They make real-time astronomical data readily available to the average layman, and it’s easy to digest and understand. This is really important, in my opinion. I’ve even bought all the add-on content in Star Walk 2, had a lot of good memories and experiences using these apps. I would love it if this was changed. I imagine the sticky zoom was implemented with ease of use in mind… but I think it’s just shooting itself in the foot. (……… EDIT: I am seeing that people have been saying this in reviews for five years and it still hasn’t gotten fixed, which is frustrating.)

  • Only Removes adds, still Need to pay

    By qing china
    Paying whatever price it is just a waste of money because of PAYING MORE just to see, satellites, dwarf planets, comet,etc.! Makes the game unfun, please READ this, this would PERFECT if it wasn’t like this

    This app is amazing and I love it so much only problem is doesn’t let me go onto all the planets

  • Exception Detail, Some Suggestions

    5
    By CaptainKirk05
    Just one suggestion that I think should be put into consideration. In the past few years, there have quite a few space missions along with recently launched satellites that should be added to Solar Walk 2 such as the Artemis 1 Mission (along with the emphasis of future Artemis missions), SpaceX Starlink satellites, James Webb telescope just to name a few. In addition, I think it should be wroth noting how popular the interactive animated missions in Solar Walk 1 were. Like how you could watch the Hubble Space Telescope being launched into orbit, or the battery-powered four-wheeled rover known as the Lunar Roving Vehicle that was used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program during 1971 and 1972. I remember when Solar Walk 1 allowed you to interact with and observe the Apollo 11 Mission (in case you forgot what mission that was it was when we put the first man on the Moon, Neil Armstrong).

  • Extremely well presented.
