NEW IN SOLAR WALK 2
The Calendar
The life of the solar system is presented as a series of events: celestial (solar eclipses, conjunctions, etc.) and man-made missions. The user can see experience the progress of space exploration and see how the planets moved at the time and how they are going to move in the near future.
The Missions
You will see Sputnik fly over the Earth and martian rovers moving on the red planet. Every notable event of every mission is in the calendar for you to explore, including the latest discoveries from New Horizons of Pluto and Curiosity on Mars.
The Physics
Planets move just as they do in real life. You can view a solar eclipse from space as a shadow crossing the Earth and see exactly what regions it covers at what times for each and every eclipse of the covered range.
The Sounds
Solar Walk 2 can be enjoyed using with sounds, put on the headphones and dive into the outer Space moving from one planet to another, get acquainted with the missions exploring the other worlds.
The Textures
We collected the highest resolution textures available to human race to date and integrated them beautifully, specifically for retina displays. Photos acquired during the latest mission to Pluto are already in the app, making it the most fresh and up-to-date space simulator.
The Data
More than two thousand of the brightest stars, 21 asteroids, 10 comets, 8 planets and more are in their correct relative positions for any given date and time. And the list is growing! We’re eager to add new dwarf planets, missions and more!
How is it different from Solar Walk 1?
Solar Walk 2 has all-new graphics, interface and updated planetary textures. Your exploration of the solar system in Solar Walk 2 is guided by a carefully hand picked calendar, a collection of simulations of celestial events with stunning visuals. You can still fly around the solar system and explore it on your own, like in Solar Walk 1, but now you have a comprehensive tour guide at your disposal.
Apple Watch App:
A quick quiz lets you know how good you’re at astronomy. If the results are pretty poor you can start exploring the Solar System using handoff function: a small icon of the Solar Walk 2 app will appear on the lock screen of your device, slide it up and enjoy your outer space journey.

Solar walk 2
Chase magee
Love it great app for young children who are wanting to learn about solar system
Waste of money.
Solar Walk stinks.
This is the worst star app I have ever used. Very difficult to use. Plus all the things I want it to do costs extra. Don’t wast your money.
Cost keep coming.....

This AP asks for $ to unlock functionality features that is advertised up front. To get a fully functional screens it’s about $25. I hat this !!
Please update the app

All of the satellites and probes along with their missions are out of date, the description and info tab are not up to date at all. One example of this is the ICE probe. It says it was launched in 1978 and the mission duration is 18 years. It then says that contact is suspended. That means that they would have to be either not in contact with the probe at all for 24 years. Or that the app is out of date. If it is the latter of the two, then I’m sincerely sorry for not understanding. This app is otherwise amazing, and I’m looking forward to the next update.
A stand in for a telescope.

This app is great, especially as a stand in for a broken telescope. It’s almost like I don’t even need a telescope anymore. Thank you guys!

Top 3 Apps I’ve ever had. They aren’t just in it for money and I downloaded the free version many months back but comparing the 2 or even when I bought the paid the DEVS made many amazing updates. Nothing negative to say. Keep it up. Major updates keeps an app alive and people coming which they do , can’t wait to see what’s next !!
