Yes, the 2011 Best App Ever Awards started already and Star Walk is nominated as the Best Augmented Reality App! We are so proud, even though our other apps Solar Walk and Geo Walk couldn’t make it this year. Anyway, thank you guys for your help and please vote for Star Walk if you didn’t do it earlier :)

The loudest shout out goes to you, our dear friends. Xmas Giveaway was a big success this year! I mean we say it every time when we summarize results. But this time (I swear!) you guys just killed it. We never had so many participants, I am talking about thousands of people tweeting every second what they just noticed in the night sky.

So, it’s time to announce the winners.

“What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?”
It’s a good saying, and we’ve prepared something delicious for you as well! We’re going to put all our educational and fun apps – Star Walk (both iPhone and iPad versions), Solar Walk (iOS and Mac versions) and Geo Walk on sale at the dollar off price from November 25th till November 29th!
Also we’re inviting those of you who are in love with Twitter to join our Stargazing Community uniting all Star Walk tweeting friends from around the world!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Thank you for helping us to be where we are now!

We were surprised in a good way when we found all these amazingly beautiful screenshots you sent us during this weekend.
Personally it was a big pleasure for me to collect and organize them into a great gallery. It was really hard to choose the winner, especially when we see all the efforts some participants put into. That’s why we decided to make two consolation prizes.

@wadetoronto – main prize ($25 iTunes card)
@agleung – consolation prize ($10 iTunes card)
@Zachary_josepha – consolation prize ($10 iTunes card)

Congratulations to everyone and thanks again for your participation!
