The information is trivial and superficial. Do not get enticed by this apparent freebie . ### 1/5 — This app is a total rip off! *2016-03-10* They aren't up front with the $4 cost. Their description sounds great so I got suckered into buying it. Problem is the description is fraudulent. You can't zoom in to come close to reading the street map and every time you want to see a feature they want more money. Beware. This is a con job. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money ! *2015-09-07* Written description of a handful of tourist sites. Some maps. No restaurant info. No reservations info. No events info. Garbage!!! ### 1/5 — отзыв *2015-08-30* Впустую потраченные деньги. Минимум полезной информации. К тому же шесть разделов не работают - вместо того, что заявлено выскакивает страница со вступительной статьей о городе. Единственная полезная функция - планировщик поездок в метро, но подобный можно найти получше и бесплатный. ### 1/5 — Junk Map *2015-06-11* Do not buy this app if looking for an offline street map. It asks for $2.99 after you download it, and the map doesn't zoom in close enough to navigate individual streets nor are most street names even visibly! Decidedly not helpful as a street map, and I suspect there are better ways to get information about tourist attractions. Pass. ### 1/5 — Fairly useless map, not worth the money *2015-02-09* I wanted an off-line map that I could use while roaming around Barcelona, and this one looked reasonably detailed. Unfortunately, it's not very usable while you're walking around. Every time you tap somewhere or leave the app and go back in, you are sent back to the default view, zoomed out, losing track of wherever you were. The map itself is fine once you zoom in, but doesn't let you search, save bookmarks or locations, or do anything else other that simply consult it as a map. Several other map and tour apps that I had downloaded did a much better job, and I ended up using them exclusively and ditching this one. ### 1/5 — Развод *2015-01-11* После обновления не получается восстановить закупки. Требует повторной оплаты карты. Развод. Удаляю. ### 1/5 — Useless *2011-09-28* Do not waste your money on this crap. The only "originality" is the "augmented reality" (from what I understood: you frame the building whit your ipod, it recognizes it and it gives the explanation) But the main features like: "I have 5 days in Barcelona. How do I organize my visit" are useless. It just consist on a list of attractions. (difference between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days, is just that the list gets longer) Interface with the user is zero. Explanations of the sites are lousy and insufficient. Same for restaurant suggestions (those are not bad but extremely limited) This is just a pile basic texts put on an app to make money. The total opposite of MTrip, which is a real product (not perfect yet, but at least you feel "they care"), really thought and designed for iPod and iPhone. ### 1/5 — Crashed on 3.1.3 *2011-08-15* Never could get it to open. That's a lot to pay for something that doesn't work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2019-08-09* Once you get past the main menu you have to upgrade to use any of the features & to be of any use. Why don’t you just declare this up front, instead of p’ing off people? **Developer response:** Thanks for tour feedback. We cant let users to download the whole size of the app as many users dont have enough coverage. That is the reason the download of the whole content is made after downloading the app the first time. And it is free for the user anyways. ### 1/5 — На карте не отображается мое местоположение *2018-06-24* Купил приложение чтобы погулять по Барселоне. В итоге узнал о наличии интересных мест, но ни как до них добраться, ни где вообще я нахожусь относительно этих достопримечательностей - абсолютно не понятно. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Thank you. On the other hand, if you are not happy with the product we can always process a refund. Please email us to contact@etips.com and we can work it from there. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience that this might have caused you. ### 1/5 — Разводят *2018-04-26* Купила обновление за 228 рублей, чтобы было доступно более расширенная версия. В итоге ничего не работает. Не покупайте, просто я зря потратила свои деньги **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

Если скачивать бесплатно, то приложение ничего толком не даёт кроме общей информации. Я бы купила, но после такого представления мне не хочется спонсировать такое отношение. **Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Отстой *2017-07-14* Все только за деньги.то что есть на инглише и то не факт что куплю и будет по русски 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Списали деньги!! *2017-05-24* Почему списали деньги!??! Ведь загрузка бесплатная!!!!верните деньги ### 1/5 — Not the best *2017-04-08* The only thing free is the cover picture. To get the map it advertises you must purchase it for $2.99 ### 1/5 — Complete waste of money *2017-04-01* The free app contains nothing so you have to pay £2.99 to unlock. The information added is sparse and misses many of the sights in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia for example requires a further £2.99 payment to unlock. The watch app requires a further £2.99 to unlock. Complete rip off and you would be better off with a paper map from tourist information. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry your experience was not as expected. As you may know there are many revenue models within the apps and we have decided to use the freemium model (free to download with locked content). We have never implied anything other than that. Even if you look at the app store page, it says that the app contains In App Purchases and it shows a price for each one of them. On the other hand, if you are not happy with the product we can always process a refund. Please email us to contact@etips.com and we can work it from there. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience that this might have caused you. ### 1/5 — Не стоит своих денег *2017-01-25* Информации минимум, разобраться на карте не просто, маршруты не построишь. ### 1/5 — Каждый чих стоит денег, разводняк!!! *2016-07-20* Нет Русского языка в Полном Гиде! Карта метро просто отсканирована. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Will test this app *2016-07-08* I love travels and that is why I downloaded this barcelona city tour travel app. This will be a handy guide for me whenever I will travel in Barcelona. And hopefully, I can do that this year! I'll surely test this app. But I know this will be a great app to use then. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-07-08* Great app for those who are doing a Barcelona city tour. It has much info for nice spot visits and the detailed map is great for navigation. ### 5/5 — A necessity when traveling *2016-07-08* I have never been it of the country before. This summer we are going abroad to Barcelona. I downloaded this app on a whim. I love it. All the maps will be perfect for our travel. Especially when taking the subway. I already recommended Barcelona City Tour to my sister as she is coming with us. ### 5/5 — Отлично!!! *2012-04-22* Все очень хорошо, как всегда, только бы русский язык сюда... ### 5/5 — Excellent guide, highly recommended *2010-03-05* Just back from Barcelona and found this guide superb. Excellent maps, useful information and sensible tips. ### 4/5 — awesome *2016-07-08* i especially love the Barcelona city tour section about travel passes and ways to save money. we are backpackers and not rolling in money so this really helped us see the beautiful city and stay within our budget. ### 4/5 — Можно было и лучше *2014-07-27* Быстрая навигация по достопримечательностям в незнакомом городе, но крайне не удобная - место определение работает только в паре с сотовой связью, отметки нагромаждены друг на друга, бестолково составлены путеводители - чего там смотреть пять дней, хотелось бы расписание и маршруты электричек. ### 3/5 — Проблема с установкой 2-х экскурсий *2013-10-30* Из 4-х экскурсий 2-е не загружаются (Барселона. Лас-Рамблас и Барселона. Проспект Грасия). У меня iPhone 5 и iOS 7.0.3. Через 3-и дня буду в Барселоне. Исправьте срочно ошибку. По экскурсии Барселона и Барселона. Саграда Фамилия все отлично. ### 2/5 — Не стоит своих денег *2013-09-13* Мало информации, не обо всех достопримечательностях, отвратительная карта метро и нет карты наземного транспорта !!!
