### 1/5 — Freezes upon starting - cannot use

*2022-08-11, version 1.3*

Installed, purchased the full version and it worked great just that one time. The moment you close the app, it no longer works.. just opens up the home flash screen and sits frozen.. you have to uninstall then it only works once again - that first time after installation and no longer..

### 1/5 — Barcelona

*2022-06-05*

I downloaded this , paid - and it doesnt work !!

### 1/5 — Waist of money

*2019-12-30, version 1.3*

I downloaded and paid 9.87 with tax for this app while in Barcelona and the map would not load. I tried reinstalling several times but it never worked.

### 5/5 — Innovative Chic

*2018-03-07, version 1.3*

I downloaded this app because I heard wonderful things about how easy on the eyes the app is. It is more than that because it not only shows you where you are going but what is also in the area. It is easy to navigate the app and a must when traveling.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2018-03-06, version 1.3*

A great way to get to know the city! Easy to use, great category selection, and extras. I highly recommend this if you’re visiting, or even a local!

### 5/5 — Top of its class

*2018-03-06, version 1.3*

This review is long overdue. I was in Barcelona during the crisis situation that happened in Las Ramblas last summer. Being a tourist makes you be in the look out for reliable help on how to get around every place you visit. In this case the BCN guide not only was at the top of the list, it actually was neatly explained and curated by a local “barcelones”. I was able to get out of the crisis zone unharmed. This app helped me in my experience around Barcelona.

### 5/5 — sandrachernak

*2017-11-22*

Absolutely gorgeous and fresh places to discover! Thanks a lot for your guide!

### 5/5 — Beautifully Designed

*2017-09-11, version 1.2*

I downloaded this app for my Barcelona trip, after I had used the sister app for Amsterdam. This is truly a beautifully designed app. I can't get over how appeasing to the eye it is, while still having full functionality. You can find hotels, restaurants, shops, activities, cafés, and more all in one beautifully designed placed. I am so happy I found this app! It made my trip to Barcelona so much more enjoyable and easier to plan.

### 5/5 — Great for trip planning!

*2017-09-11, version 1.2*

I was able to find good cafes and nightlife in Barcelona for my trip. Helps to find the places a little off the tourist track to really see the city.

### 5/5 — Fantastic, well thought and laid out

*2017-09-11*

This app is really fantastic. It's clean, clear and very informative. 

I find it really useful, with lots of on hand information and even putting in details of currently, important numbers etc. Will defo use when I visit Barcelona later this year.
