Description
Bust the ‘Dam wide open with Lonely Planet’s Cityguide on your iPhone!
We want you to love the Venice of the North as much as we do, so we’ve put in over 42 days of independent research to update this guide, scouring Amsterdam from the canals of the Jordaan to the greenery of the Vondelpark. Whatever your pleasure: dreaming in front of the Dutch Masters at the Rijksmuseum, kicking back at a coffeeshop or a cycling tour of the city’s rich architectural heritage, we’re with you every step of the way!
This essential guide has been retooled to get the maximum from your iPhone. Features include: comprehensive, interactive maps that allow you to pinpoint your proximity to the best venues in the vicinity; in-depth chapters on Amsterdam’s history, architecture, festivals and famously liberal culture; hundreds of the best, personally-reviewed venues, including top accommodation picks to suit all budgets; interviews with locals to give you a sense of what makes Mokum (‘city’) such a cherished place; and lavish, high-res photos to let you do some dreaming in advance. And don’t let internet roaming costs spoil the laissez-faire Amsterdam vibe: our Cityguides are designed as fully stand-alone apps. Fantastisch!

Map needs work
The information is decent, but the map part of the app goes crazy whenever you click the location button. As soon as you touch the map to resize it, it zooms wayyyyyyy in and it stops responding to your commands. Only way to fix it is to quit the app and restart. I wish i could get a refund, because now I have to look up a site on the lonely planet app, and then use another mapping program to navigate to it.
Maps are ot very useful
I was exited that I would be able to use on the iPhone a guide book from such a renown source. I was quite disappointed with the implementation. The maps are unresponsive. It is next to impossible to see your current location and your destination on the same screen so that you can figure out how to walk there. In addition, there are options for the maps to show only a certain category of POI (such as attractions but not hotels or stores) but when you restart the application; it does not remember the options. Third strike against the app is that the search function does not seem to search everything, only certain portions of the guide.
This app needs some work before it is useful.
