Having developed two of the most popular astronomy apps out there, which we are VERY proud of, we have learned a lot of interesting and inspiring facts about the stars. Star Walk and Solar Walk were born thanks to an astronomy enthusiast who wanted to develop astronomy apps that would implement all technical innovations of iPhone platform. It is safe to say that now Vito Technology is united not only as a company but also by a common hobby – we are all amateur astronomers. And we wish you would become one too!

That is why we decided to do something to engage our customers into a little astronomy adventure, which would be interesting for everyone regardless their age or occupation.

One of the many things we have learned is that summer is the best time for stargazing. What can be better than a summer night out – romantic dating, hiking, long evenings by a campfire. All these can be accompanied with stargazing.  July is very rich in events astro-wise. For example, meteor showers and impressive views on the planets.

So we suggest that you join us and be the part of Star Walk Month of Astronomy. We are planning to hold a couple of fun educative activities. Of course we have some free stuff to offer:

iPod Touch 8GB;

$20, $15, $10 iTunes cards;

10 Star Walk and Solar Walk T-shirts

10 FREE Promo codes for our astronomy apps

Firstly, we’d like to encourage our customers to stargaze with their kids and use Star Walk app as a night guide. Describe your stargazing experience either on your personal blog or Facebook, or any social media you are present at and send us the link! Here is one of the nice examples of how you can do it.  As a help guide you can use our tips which we’ll be posting on our Facebook page, blog, twitter. The prize for the BEST and MOST CREATIVE story is a brand new iPod Touch! Other participants will get either T-shirts or promo codes.

Secondly, we are going to run a quiz on our Facebook page, blog, twitter, where you can learn all about the Solar System and also win something.

From July 7th to August 1st we will be running a quiz. We will post several questions  on StarWalk Facebook Fan page every day. To enter the contest all you have to do is post answers in Comment box. For every right answer you will get a point. The participant who gets the most points wins.  The most active participants will get $20 iTunes Card + T-shirt for the 1st place, $15 iTunes Card for the 2nd place and a $10 iTunes card for the 3rd place.  All answers can be found (with some amount of creativity) in our Solar Walk app.

Let’s have fun together!

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.
