3 stars because the original intent for purchasing the app, the point your phone up and see what stars, does not exist. Has good enough information about the planets and some stars and constellations. But you're better off watching content on YouTube as the interactivity part does not exist or work.
New update 03/18/2022 broke the app. Now its showing black screen only. Tried reinstalling but same result. My phone is S20 plus. I have star walk 2 licence version When fixed rating will change to 5 😀
Great app! My daughter uses it every night and loves it. She especially loves the movies. I would like to see more movies added in the future, it didn't take long before she had them all memorized.
App not loading, just a black screen. Nothing happened even after reinstall.
Good app for learning the basics of what you're seeing in the starry night sky. Isn't cluttered with tons of other nonsense that you wouldn't even be able to see. Also gives some facts and lore about how they received their names and what have you.
We like the easy navigation and calm narration. It seems to be very good app for kids to learn about the constellations.
The app is great! Helps kids (little and big) learn about the planets, and consalations, and all other kinds of stuff! And no adds plus helps kids learn bout our solersystem, all for free? Amaze deal! Download this great app!
Rather fun app, and quite educational. I'm a 63 year old kid and I've leaned a lot about the solar system, and constellations, I didn't know before.
I am fond of this App. It's the perfect app Astronomy for kids.
The app looks great because my contractions are working but canis minor don't work.
Fun informative easy to use for children of all ages
Doesn't do anything the free Star Walk does. Just puts kid graphics on top.

My son (6 years old) loves this app.
I like the game can you update for nebulas
Love it!
We need more young children educated about the science of what is around us. This is hands down the best app I have ever purchased for my daughter. She isn't quite 4 but has a sudden deep interest in stars and the universe.
Well I must admit having had the pleasure of experiencing Star Walk and Star Walk 2 that I wasn't surprised that Star Walk Kids would be equally enjoyable and I was right, it is great!, the kids love and so do I!!!. The format is just what is required to lead into Star Walk and Star Walk 2. There is no other app as good as this to guide the younger learners on this wonderful path that leads them into the wonders of the cosmos!.
Great example of what not to do. The thinnest possible set of mods to starwalk functionality, "cartoon" cause you know kids hate real pictures of space stuff, a totally arbitraryow rent v/o. Patronizing to any kid who actually likes the subject. Ugh. Full disclosure: I am involved with SkySafari, a competing product. Our least expensive app, SkySafari 5 is not aimed at kids but at $1.99 its just such a better choice for a kid w an interest in space. Original Starwalk 1 (free) is a better choice
My two year old daughter already enjoys looking at the 'twinkly stars' and I look forward to her learning about the different constellations as she grows up.
A much cut down version of star walk but ultimately my son liked this one a lot more. Easier to navigate and the educational videos were great.
The app is crashing on LG G2. Android 5.0.2 ... crashes before logo disappears. Right when the button bar (with home, back and apps) begins to disappear and the app tries to resize or move.
That looks awesome! I haven't seen anything like it thank you Google Play! Thank you for the bug fixes too!
My son is only 4 but it was so fun for him and he is already absorbing so much information and it's so easy for him to navigate... Best app I have found yet!!
This is really cool app for kids for all ages. Really well done.
Doesn't load any more on S7 just black screen
Installed on 2 devices (one Samsung, one Google), will not work on either. Play Store won't refund for some reason, not sure why. Both devices have the same black screen on launch described in a previous review as being caused by the March update. Apparently it isn't fixed. I'd love to update the review if it ever starts working.
