Description
NOTE - content has not been updated since launch in 08.2010. [our app developers abandoned app development and left us with a huge technical headache and huge development bill]. however the app is still very useful when navigating tokyo! we recommend to purchase it as an additional resource to the tokyo pdf superguide available at http://superfuture.com/supershop/
we hope to have a content update in early 2012. once this app has been purchased you will be able to access all future updates - when they eventually get produced!

GPS LOCATION DOES NOT REQUIRE DATA ROAMING.
all data is stored within app database so you do not need to be connected to the internet.

in tokyo, the focus is on retail shopping. we do not cover traditional tourist recommendations, so if you're looking for a guide to shrines, the imperial palace and ikebana, then this app is probably not for you. our travel guides are tightly edited, simple, and filter out establishments you don't need to know about. we cover the top end of the market as well as the trashier end, but tend to avoid the mediocrity in the middle.

notes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
this iphone uses gps location technology. please note that accuracy can sometimes be erratic and affected by structures and atmospheric conditions. it can occasionally take up to a minute to get an accurate location fix. when walking you may find you are about 10 metres ahead of the flashing red marker.
gps location marker will ONLY appear when [you and] your iphone are within the boundaries of main city and detailed area maps.
we highly recommend purchasing an iphone power adapter for heavy duty usage on international trips.
shops can literally change location overnight so we need your help in keeping things up to date and hyper accurate! we go to extreme efforts to ensure our maps are as accurate as possible, but occasionally a location might slip out of place. please report any discrepancies!

Customer Reviews
Not quite there yet...
This app still needs some work to be worth the $13.99 price tag. Why do stores that appear in the Top Ten for an area not then appear in the general listing for that area? Why have a button to show a store saved in my itinerary on the area map, but when you select it all the stores for that area appear? (given the amount of stores in some areas and the size of the iPhone screen what could have been a quick exercise just becomes pointless). I also felt that the guide could be updated, we came across lots more stores (both mainstream & back alley/underground) that should have been on there. It would also be good if the area maps could have some more detail on them eg when you zoom in actual street names & names of locations of interest etc appear. At the moment this app should be $2.99 not $13.99.
