When I was a kid, I always loved going to my local planetarium because it was just cool! Getting a day where I don’t have to be in school and go on a field trip was just awesome! Every time I went, the experience just blew me away. There was a robot projector that came out of the ground and talked to us ( there as a guy using a mic in the back that I didn’t know at the time ) and told us all about our solar system on the largest screen I have ever experienced. We got to sit back and relax in our tilted chairs as we watched the simulated star filled sky. Those day’s were awesome.
Do you remember those days? What if you could re live those days. What if you could take that experience and have it in your hands and use it on your iPad? Would you be as excited as I was when I heard of this opportunity?
Star Walk goes for $4.99 in the App Store
The developers at Vito Technology Inc. bring you an experience that you do not want to miss with Star Walk for the iPad. At first I didn’t really know what to expect. I mean, I knew what experience I had in the planetarium, but come on, there was no way someone could simulate that and put it in my hands! Right? Wrong! Star Walk brings the planetarium experience that you love and put’s it into your hands so you have control of what you want to see. If you want to check out a solar system and know how to find it, just use your fingers and you are there! If you want to know the exact coordinates of your favorite planet, find out what time the sun rises and sets where you live, or even just check out what Orion is doing on his belt, Star Walk can make it happen! So as cool as having a man controlled robot is, being able to control the stars and galaxies that you want to see becomes a surreal experience.
I know that I have been using the word experience a lot in this review, but in all honesty, I really do not want you to miss out on what this app actually is. It is an experience! It not only shows you the gem that the iPad is, but how far the creative minds go at Vito Technology Inc.
I give this app a 10/10 rating in my books because I love seeing the different parts of the created earth and galaxies. But I’m no astro boy that can fly into outer space and see the stars for myself other than leaving my house and looking up! This app was also created for the iPhone, but would definitely recommend ( if you have an iPad ) to get the iPad version. If you just have an iPhone then get that version too!
We are also giving away a promo code for Star Walk for the iPad. Just write us a comment below of who your favorite Star Wars character is and why? Could they beat up Chewy in a hand to hand combat? No use of the “force” powers, just straight hand to hand combat.
