Customer Reviews
OK app, but incomplete and GPS is weird in HK.
Things I Liked:
-Currency Converter
-Extensive Maps
Things That Need Improvement:
-Attraction list was incomplete and often lacked accurate times/costs.
-Hostels were mostly left out.
-Busses were mostly left out of transportation options.
-GPS often showed wrong location on the map (might or might not be fault of app).
Bottom line: I used this app, but the lonely planet guide (paper) was still better and I used it more. Wish the GPS worked better since it was 90% of the reason I got this app.
Poorly written, impossible to navigate
This is a totally crappy app - labels hotels as sightseeing attractions, no way to mark things you're interested in seeing without putting them into a particular slot in te itinerary, descriptions are poorly written. Someone desperately needs to fix this app
