Our Interviews
WWDC 2010 on TUAW
“We met up with both Victor Toporkov and Murad Nazaraliev of Vito Technology during WWDC this past week, and while we know the company's name well from their great Star Walk and Solar Walk apps (the first one won an Apple Design Award this week, and the second one is quite popular, too), we learned some interesting facts about the history of the company. Toporkov now lives in the United States, but the company has its roots in Novosibirsk, the biggest city in Siberia. Back in the 1950s, Russia created a scientific center out in the middle of Siberia, consisting of a whole group of nuclear and scientific research facilities.” More...
Macworld 2010 on TUAW
“The first app we saw was called Solar Walk, and while Star Walk will help you find and explore information about the stars, Solar Walk is designed to do the same with planets. The app features a beautiful (and accurate) simulation of the solar system, complete with all of the planets orbiting trails, and an adjustable clock so that you can see where Mars will be in 2029, if you so choose.” More...
Exclusive Interview on MacCreate
“Star Walk was our first "experiment" for the App Store. We pretty much followed our CTO passion and decided to develop an astronomy application for everybody, the aim being to give everybody the possibility to learn a bit more about the fantastic world of the universe.” More...
Interview with Murad Nazaraliev, Vito Technology Managing Director
“If I paid just one dollar, it must not affect the quality. I paid money and I want to get a good product for it. Basically I believe that the users requirements are always reasonable.” More...

! Target Audience:
Star Walk was initially developed as a useful educational tool geared towards astronomy amateurs, students, and professionals. However, it became much more than that. t is a fun app for everyone whether they are trying to impress their date with heavenly knowledge, exploring space to satisfy their curiosity, or showing their kids what the Universe is all about
! Reviews: “Choose a clear night and hold your phone skyward, and the heavens suddenly make sense — that is, with the help of a stargazing application. If ever there were a type of mobile software guaranteed to elicit a grin, this is it.” - Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times “I recommend this app for anyone interested in learning more about objects in space and Earth’s relation to them. For $3, you get the universe in your pocket. So get outside and see what you’ve been missing.” - Sue Voelkel, Macworld
“Star Walk is probably the prettiest of the astronomy guides available for the iPhone and iPod touch.” -TUAW“Blame our science geek roots, but Star Walk is one of the most awesome uses of the iPad's hardware we've seen yet”.-Gizmodo

If you only want to buy one, I’d recommend Solar Walk, since its imagery is even more immersive. But don’t limit yourself: buy both. Star Walk too is remarkable to use and explore.
