  • It's Just OK

    This is a huge download, which prompted me to get it. I was curious about the content. Well, it's just a collection of Wikipedia material. Perhaps the nicest feature is the subway maps but there are other ways to get this, too. I've used my iPad in other cities without a program such as New York 2Go and survived. However, I have AAA membership and use a lot of their online content. And many cities have tourism web sites which offer PDF maps and guides which you can download and read on iBooks. So if this is the only travel information you'll access on your iPad for your next trip to the Big Apple, then it's a good start. It hits all the popular places and the info is extensive, assuming you trust Wikipedia. The user interface is pleasant and very easy to use.

  • Tourist friendly

    Very helpful while taking a trip to NYC. Thanks for making it! Your Munich app was also great.
  • This app was a great help

    Visited NYC and used this map, especially the map and subway functions. Both were easy to use and were very helpful.

    Whilst the subway is easy to use it does help to know what line you are on and what stop you need to get out on. The map was helpful especially the search function which can zero in on the street that you are looking for. I used this with an ipod touch meaning I didn't need to have internet access.

    I got so much out of this app, such a big help.

  • Loved this App

    Recently used this app for our first visit to New York and loved it. Very easy to use while walking the streets since it does not need wireless or Internet access. Only shortcoming is that it does not have enough info on the best places to eat or updated reviews for restaurants. Still would recommend strongly this application to anyone traveling to New York.

  • New York, New York !!!

    This is an awesome app full of incredibly useful offline Wiki info & history on sites and attractions to see in the Big Apple. In eager anticipation, I have already planned what I want to see & can't wait to use it... All this and offline maps with GPS locator function, an excellent alternative to Lonely Planet guides at only $1.19 compared to $7.99... The major flaw in this travel guide has now been fixed with the addition of a sorely needed offline Metro Map. All the metro stations are also marked out on the main offline map with purple dots, so you know how each station relates to each line to help you get around more efficiently & which stations & routes are closest to the POI's you want to visit. Combined with Retina display support & this is now super value at $1.19 and one of the best & most comprehensive travel guides for iphone.

  • Very Helpful App

    Just used this app during my first visit to NYC, Loved the wiki entries about landmarks, and the offline subway and city maps. Well worth the 99 cents.
  • Love but way to long to load

    I lov it but it takes FOREVER to load and install!!!!!!
  • Could be better

    I purchased this app before a day trip to NYC. It has good basic info about the major sites to see, but oh what they could do with that "Nearby" feature. For example it would have been really nice to get a list of restaurants close by when looking for a place to eat. Nice app, but there's a lot more they could do with this concept.

  • Interesting but not great

    Ok travel app, offline maps are really good, but lack needed landmarks (especially subway stations!). The sheer amount of information on points of interest are not bad, but it is lifted pretty much straight from wikipeadia. Good for a pre-departure overview, not sure how useful it will be during travel.

  • Ummmm

    It was really good but it like really needs like restaurant listings and like hotel listings and venue listings for when you are looking for a place to hold a wedding if it had that stuff it'll be perfect
