Month of Astronomy Awards

We are glad to announce that our Month of Astronomy has come to its final and most pleasurable stage!

First of all, we would like to thank everyone for participation. If it weren’t for you guys, there would be no Star Walk! So thank you and we hope to enjoy more contests and fun with you in the future! Special thanks to TheiPadFan, MomsWithApps, CafeMom, PragmaticMom, MomSpark and Science@home for their support and help spreading the word.

Secondly, we’d like to encourage you to share any ideas you have about the development of our apps and activities around them. We always try to think of ways to popularize astronomy and are open to all kinds of ideas! Your opinion is greatly valued and always appreciated.

And last but not least – the Winners!

$20, $15, $10 iTunes cards go to Erik Jensen, Farès Fayad and Chris Anderson who demonstrated great knowledge of the Solar System. We had so much fun with this contest on Facebook, we decided to do it again! Join us anytime!

We’d like to give the main prize of the Month of Astronomy to the very creative and talented Norbert Neteschal who wrote a wonderful little poem about stargazing and shooting the Moon! To encourage spontaneous creativity in the world and to thank him for this original contribution we’d like to give Norbert iPod Touch.

We’d like to mention other participants who posted nice posts about stargazing on their blogs and social sites. They are Avivah Yamani, Peter Lake, Raymond Gilchrist and Rolène Karam Fayad. Please get in contact with us to get your T-Shirts.

To sum it up, we hope that our users enjoyed this event very much and we look forward to any feedback and suggestions from you to make such events more interesting.

Star Walk is Apple Design Awards 2010 Winner

Today Star Walk app became a lucky winner of the Apple Design Awards (ADA) 2010 at the World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco. These awards are an annual event to recognize “Technical excellence, innovation, technology adoption, and quality in iPhone and iPad software development.”

It is a point of pride for Vito Technology to be awarded by Apple. The number of developers attending the conference and aiming to get the awards was great and the chance of winning was not that obvious. However, we kept hoping and when the deciding moment came our hearts filled with joy.

For sure, our achievements would not be so great without limitless devotion and support of our fans. In our turn we are encouraged to do the best we can in order to deliver feature packed and easy-to-use apps.
