Disappointed
I was expecting this version to be similar to the Prague guide (which is very useful). It is structured poorly, not very user friendly, and there isn't nearly as much information. Not sure if any other paid app is better, but don't waste your money on this one. I hope lonely planets other guides are more like the Prague version.
Least interactive app imaginable
Absolutely lame! They simply ported the book to an app. You can't search the map by street, and you can't bookmark places which aren't in the book. There's no straying from the LP-approved itinerary with this lousy app! Don't waste your money if you're looking for a functional Vienna map app.
Poor design, less info than book
When i purchased this app, i expected that it would contain the same info as the book edition. Well, this app is a very abbreviated version of the book, which was greatly disappointing. In addition, the design is not very interactive. It would be helpful if, while reading description of a site, i could click on it and see it immediately on the map. Or, it would be nice to be able to switch pages by a finger swipe instead of having to click on the arrows.
