London Travel Guide Offline App Reviews

Worked very well for a 3 day weekend in London. Pictures, maps, descriptions of attractions all well done. Best feature by far is ability to find things near by your destination so you can plan hitting multiple attractions, eat between them, etc.

Just got it. I'm planning my trip to London seven months from now. And I'll be able to submit more when I get back.

We recently traveled to London and Rome and I bought the app for both cities. I also bought two guides which helped me plan the overall trip, but what this app offered was the ability to download maps offline and find great little restaurants, bars, pubs and places of interest based on a location you're at. For example, we would go to the tower of London, and use this app to find reviews for restaurants in the area. We did the same in Rome, plan to visit a landmark using the guides we bought and then use this app to find other things lose to our location. Not having to be connected to the Internet is great and being able to finds almost anything based on your location is even better. In London, we also found the Underground Map a great resource and again, we could download it to view without Internet connection.

I like this app a lot so far. I've been able to mark many things I plan to visit on my upcoming trip to London. My one problem so far is that it appears you cannot at custom points of interest you the personalized section. For example, the Chancery St Silver Vaults are not in the guide and I'd like to be able to add them to my places to visit. If there is a way to to this, I've been completely unable to find it. . . . Now using in London. Great except gps only works when on wifi. Good for not looking like a total tourist!!

Used this guide almost exclusively for 5 days in London. Excellent!! Even showed 2 drivers of the black cabs where Knights Temple is located and they were impressed.

Travel: Tells you where the closest tube is but does not tell u how to get there. No bus routes. List of places to visit is far from complete. Details are sparse, directs you to the website - defeats the ' offline' premise! I found myself using other free apps more often. $3.99 wasted!

We are leaving tomorrow for our London trip and will see how this is working. I wish it had better database of locations. I love that the app works offline just remember to download the maps while you are in wifi connection. I also wish it could help you sequence locations to plan your day better.

It's offline, is extremely simple to organize your itinerary, comes with one-touch downloadable maps of the Underground, and even has an updatable calendar of events. BUY THIS APP! You will thank me! In fact, this whole company's series of city travel guides is extremely useful. I have the Paris, Rome, and Vienna ones as well. Again, it's offline, so you need not worry about roaming/data charges. Cannot say enough good things about this app!

Just back from a week in london and this app was a lifesaver! Planned all the sights we wanted to see and used the custom map in the My Guide feature. Made planning each day a dream. It was also so much easier than stumbling around with a guide book looking like a tourist. This is a super tool and a super value.

This app is great but took me 5 hours to downloan on a fast conection. so before you buy it make sure you have lots of time to download before you need to use it.

Love this app... Especially being able to make a favorite list and see it on a map. Would love more interactive transit directions from POI to POI. I will buy for other cities as I travel!

I used this app constantly last week while in London. I had downloaded a few but found this to be the most useful. Make sure you download the full content including the maps. Most helpful was the city map and what's great is that the GPS works even when you are not connected to wifi or data. The information about tube stops near sites is helpful and even though the info about tourist sites is limited to wiki info, it's still helpful. Rather than carrying a book or a map, carry your iphone and look less like a tourist.

We are in London for a week and use this constantly! Love that it shows all the theatre available in one easy spot. Would have loved it even more if there was a synopsis of each play with ratings, only some of the plays had this. Be sure to go see Priscilla at the Palace. The most fun we've ever had at the theatre!!!!

Would have been Lost without this app on my trip to London

We used this app during our recent trip. Recommended!

So far have only used the app in planning stages for which it is highly useful. The real test comes in a few weeks during our visit.

Love the offline option

Super nice how this guide is designed.... Concise, clear, and easy to navigate.....plus a map for offline use .....this will be our guide for the trip:))

Needed help with loading but is useful here in London this week.

No problems - great guide and cheap given it's functionality. Not having to have Internet to use it is key.

My initial impression of this app was positive. After using this on my trip to London where I tried to use the app, I found the use of the maps app on the iPhone to be more useful.

Planning my trip now and am finding this ap incredibly helpful.

I recently took a trip to London with a local travel agency. What my travel group failed to mention was that our hotel was no where near central London. Without this App I would have been totally lost. It not only helped me plan out the things I wanted to see, but it was a lifesaver for navigating the Tube station. I would very highly recommend getting this app for your trip.

I recently used this program during a two week holiday in London and it was an invaluable life saver on a daily basis. 1. Integrated tube map is key. It was so handy to have that on my iPod and being able to reference it at will, and discreetly, rather than being the typical tourist and wrestling with a giant paper map. Well done! 2. The no-Internet-required street map is absolutely brilliant! I'm sure this is the feature that most contributes to the large file size but was it ever useful. Great for trying to find your way around. The map also has overlays for everything imaginable from tube stations to restaurants to nightclubs. Only gripe is whenever tube stops are chosen the map zooms out and the use is forced to zoom back in to location. Please change. 3. Guides are available for download (free) that include everything happening in the city from theatre to tours and everything in between. Great for trying to find something to do. 4. App includes key points of interest and is great for finding those great sights after seeing Big Ben and Tower Bridge. There's more but those are my top four favourite features. Yeah, it costs a couple bucks but it is beyond worth it. This is the only does everything app you'll need for a holiday in London.

I still like a familiar guidebook in the purse for ease of use and frequent on the go reference, so I didn't use this all the time on a recent trip. Taking out the iPad is just too tedious. In the evening at the hotel planning the next day's activities though, it was very helpful and comprehensive.

I've recently downloaded this app and it's excellent. Highly recommended.

I found the menu confusing and generally not user friendly. The information for restaurants are real basic and you are much better off using a traditional guide. I have been annoying people waiting for me, when I was trying to figure out how to navigate in the menus or find a location. The Icons are not self explanatory. The database is weak. I can't recommend this app.

This app is incredibly useful and easy to use- vert worth the money. Love that it has hours of operation and travel directions and that you can even set an itinerary. It's also great that it's offline and has maps of the city and tube. We were able to look up info while on the tube. If a couple things are updated it would be 5 stars. It would be great if I could remove things from my itinerary and put them back on my"want to see" list without a date. Also would like to be able to add events to my itinerary. Bus tours should be included in searchable attractions. City bus lines/maps would be useful. Plus some events listed were not accurate despite updating before we left home. Overall a great app and travel guide.

We are in London now . So far so good on this app . I will be using it a lot and I think it will be very useful and so far it has given me places to visit that I did not now about.

Use it extensively on every visit. Great with all the offline information. Also updating what's on, gives you latest information on shows, concerts and other events. Highly recommended.

Recommend.

Very helpful!

On an extended trip to London, I downloaded a dozen London apps after much research. If I could only keep one it would be this one hands down. The downloaded map works with GPS even with no wifi, data or cell service.

Couldn't ask for more in a travel app. So easy to use. Links you to the best sights then lets you know where to find nearby food, transportation, and other fun activities. So much better than a book. My son lives in London and he now recommends this app to his friends when they visit.

Haven't used the program in London yet, but finding it very useful in planning what we will try to do when we get there. Giving me a feel for what is in the area if any given site do I can optimize our time in London
