Great walking day tour of Dubrovnik
I’ve spent most of the day following the introductory walk around Dubrovnik. With the pavements full of people, this tour covers the great sites but includes several that don’t attract the big crowds - and I felt privileged to follow this excellent guide.
The final step was the cable car which I did one way @ €15, then walked down - it’s a long way and quite gradual but rough and good shoes are needed. Note signage to show the start of the track down is pathetic. It begins behind the fort, but I failed to find it without advice.

Excellent self-guided tours and information
We traveled through Spain and this app had comprehensive information and self-guided walking tours for the six cities/towns we visited. Easy to use with great information and insights which enhanced our trip.

A standing ovation for GPSmyCity
We were excited about our upcoming trip to Ireland, Scotland, France, and Portugal and for the first time in our travels we decided against renting a car and to see and explore the sights on foot. In doing the research to see if we could find an app to help us in exploring Dublin, Cork, Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow, Bordeaux, and Porto, we won the lotto when we found GPSmyCity! It was wonderful for not only providing walking routes with gps but the sites with text was like having our own tour guide. We also greatly enjoyed and appreciated being able to create our own custom walks. We had the best trip ever and for this we would like to give everyone at GPSmyCity a standing ovation for creating such a wonderful app!

Not worth it.
Great idea with a less-than-stellar execution. Use the free version to get an idea of waypoints to plan exploration in a new place, but probably skip the subscription. I have attempted to subscribe to this app twice. In the most recent attempt, it seemed as though my subscription wasn’t even recognized within the app - I still received in-app ads and could not access navigation. Maybe not a total loss there since navigation within the app is garbage anyway. It’s a pain and quite a few extra steps, but using Google Maps to navigate to the landmarks is way more user-friendly, reliable, and full-featured than trying to rely on the in-app option. The information contained within the guides is also minimal at best. Overall just really “meh” and leaves you wondering what exactly you’re getting for $18.

Please note that you must remain signed in to your iTunes account on your device for the app to recognize your subscription. It seems that you signed out, which is probably why you see ads. Please feel free to contact us at helpdesk@gpsmycity.com for help.
GPSmyCity App
GPSmyCity App is very helpful for folks who like to take self-guided walks. We recently used it in the UK and found the app to offer multiple walks that would meet anyone’s interests. There are city introduction walks, special interest walks (like Beatles or Harry Potter walks) Historic City Walks etc…The app provides maps with push pins to denote significant sites. It will even “Find me” on the map and track you as you walk if you are interested. I was. Best of all, the app provides written information on each of the sites listing historical and pertinent information just as if you had printed out a walking tour on your computer with multiple sheets to carry. All walking tours can be downloaded so you do not have to have an active internet connection. Perfect! We plan to use it again shortly on our tour of other European countries.

Wonderful idea. Solid info. Buggy execution.
Let me stare up top I paid for the pro version. This app is overall a wonderful idea. The tours and walking maps are too notch. The information and depth of guides available is amazing. It has SO much potential and is a great value. That being said, a lot of the design choices are just not intuitive, user friendly, and in some cases are downright buggy. Example? There is no way to turn off audio when starting a route to a location. Each time you need to do if manually. Also, when downloading the map, you get a notice that the map is in your downloads… but you can’t exit out of that notice until you close and reopen the app. There are dozens of minor annoyances like that that would take too long to list. At the end of the day though, I have used this for about 6 cities, and have appreciated the content But I hope they do a redesign to make it less glitchy and more intuitive. This app has potential to become really big if they do.

Impossible
I thought this would be very useful. Can’t even get past the ads so deleting it now

Saved the day for last minute site seeing
My husband and I just came back from 7 weeks traveling in Europe. As lots of the trip was business related and it was all booked last minute, we had planned free time in some cities but had not planned what to do in those, and didn’t know what there was to see in a lot of them.
I found GPSmyCity while googling “must sees n Milan” and it saved the day. I didn’t have to print out a list or google the location of things. It came with all of that and suggested walking tracks. Sometimes we followed the trail exactly and sometimes, limited by time, we just used a portion.
I loved being able to click into the map for a walking trail and have the GPS show me which way I was facing so that we would walk in the right direction.
It had all the cities we were visiting and they weren’t always the largest city. Actually there were two smaller towns that it didn’t have a walking trail for, but there was a good travel article on each place which gave us an idea what to do. One of these was my favorite place on the entire trip, and it was the suggestion on the article that made it awesome (Tromsø in Northern Norway).

Thank you for sharing your experience with the app! Hope you will use it again on your future trips.
Best App Available
My wife and I recently went on a trip to Paris and Rome. This app was the perfect tool we needed to navigate around the city in a timely manner. I was amazed at how easily you can navigate through the app, and the benefit provided for us was we were able to see more of each city than we ever would have been able to without it. I highly suggest using this app when visiting Europe or honestly any city that is available on the app.
