★ Unravelling Hanoi's Secrets ★
It's been 1000 years in the making, but you can see the best of it in a few days with the aid of this app. Hanoi is one of Asia's most endearing and exciting cities with a unique feel and a sophisticated air about everything - entertainment, dining and lodging.

So what are you waiting for? Buy this app, book a ticket and go check out Hanoi @ 1000.
★ About the Author ★
Ron Emmons (www.ronemmons.com) is a British writer and photographer who spent long periods living and working in Africa and South America before settling in to Thailand in the late 1980s. During this period, Ron honed his photography skills and learned much about diverse cultures. Since 1998 he has worked exclusively as a freelancer, writing new guidebooks and updating others for companies like National Geographic, Frommer’s and Rough Guides. His feature stories also appear regularly in international magazines.
Since 1995, Ron has visited Vietnam a dozen times and can now claim to have been to every town in the country (some several times!) on various research trips. As a result, he has become a recognized expert on Vietnamese culture, and counts among his contacts some of the country’s trail-blazing tour operators, who keep him informed of developments between visits. If you ask Ron whether he prefers Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, he’ll tell you it’s a no brainer. Thankfully, Hanoi was spared the Westernization of its southern sister and retains its rich Vietnamese herit

Wow
By far the best app if you're going to Hanoi. Super deep, easy to navigate, well thought out. Simply fantastic, and would be a steal at twice the price. Well done sir!
Well worth the price
I used the Hanoi and Bangkok guides and they were quite helpful to find local spots for restaurants and things to do. However the offline maps could be much better - they don't seem to correlate much with with other local maps and the overlays, while helpful also makes it hard to read the map. It would also be good to have a bit more overview of the different neighborhoods instead of just a POI list.
I would gladly pay double if these features are fixed and would use this app as my primary guide instead of it being secondary source of information.
