### 4/5 — Good story building

*2018-02-25, version 11.1.2*

I used whilst away and the markers and options were helpful in plotting places to visit.

### 4/5 — Aamzing

*2017-12-29, version 11.1.2*

Very helpful app for Berlin, you can use all the top attractions with this app and it’s work offline.

### 5/5 — Our Berlin Visit

*2017-07-14, version 11.1.2*

By far the best Berlin app. You can't go wrong with this. It not only identifies the best places to go but also guides you there with GPS. Brilliant! Could only be improved with a public transport route planner.

### 5/5 — Great way to not use cellular roaming data

*2017-06-28, version 11.1.2*

This app once fully downloaded allows you to use rough gps without cellular data. Actually pretty accurate. I also love the format and the articles that are downloaded.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2017-06-24, version 11.1.2*

Helped me very much finding my way round an unfamiliar city abroad. Liked that you did not have you be connected to the internet to use it.

### 4/5 — Easy to use map

*2017-06-22, version 11.1.2*

Used the app wile in Berlin. It was easy to use and had a good map that made it easy to get around without data used on my phone.

### 4/5 — Ras

*2017-06-04, version 11.1.2*

Excellent, very handy map

### 5/5 — Practical and works

*2017-05-27, version 11.1.2*

A very practical a funktional App for offline use. I use it all the Time to navigate the city.

### 4/5 — Muito bom!

*2017-05-18, version 11.1.2*

Bom👌

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-05-02, version 11.1.2*

The application is amazing. Very easy to use and very informative. It helped me in my visit to Berlin in a way that I was able to organize every place I visited. It is linked with google maps and iPhone maps. Great pictures.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-04-19, version 11.1.2*

Used this app on a recent trip to Berlin. It was fantastic. Had previously downloaded the info so was able to use the maps and further information off line (I hope). We walked everywhere and it was perfect for finding where we were and which direction to go to get to our next saved site. Will definitely use again on our next city break wherever it may be. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-04-09, version 11.1.2*

Really helpful for travelling round Berlin. Highly recommended. If you also get Moovit it's even better.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-12-13, version 8.3.1*

Like most people, we have travelled a fair bit.
Like most people we have always relied upon the paper maps from the back of travel guides to avoid roaming charges abroad.
No longer.......
The offline map of Berlin was fab.
The little cursor showed up on the map at all times and made life so easy.
The list option is truly excellent - we are not great "list" people, but it allowed us to easily retain / remember sites to visit in the days before travelling - dramatically helpful when the search for a site / restaurant / location is thrown to the map in milliseconds.
It took little thought to update from the basic.
Travel will never be the same but will definitely be easier!
😎

### 5/5 — Ms

*2016-11-29, version 8.3.1*

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-10-30, version 8.3.1*

I haven't rated any app in ages. I would be totally lost in Berlin without this app. It's great! I definitely recommend you this app If you go to Berlin.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Didn’t Work

*2022-07-26, version 21.0*

Not worth the space on your hard drive

### 1/5 — Thanks for draining my data plan!

*2017-02-04, version 11.0.3*

"Offline" alright. I opened it and it downloaded 100Mb of content!

### 1/5 — Pretty useless

*2016-01-03, version 8.3.1*

The information in the free version is almost nonexistent. There were only two food related stories and one other one. The offline map could have been fine, but once I looked at on of the aforementioned info stories I couldn't get back to the map.

### 1/5 — No transport map - USELESS

*2012-01-27, version 3.0.2*

Without a map of the u-bahn, s-bahn etc
lines (compare with London2Go, which has a Tube Map as well as the city map) this app is basically pointless. Total waste of $2.

### 2/5 — Limited usefulness

*2013-05-01, version 5.3*

Ulmon provided little of their own and original content. This app is basically a collection of Berlin-related Wikipedia entries and business addresses classified by business type. You can add your own notes, but there is no way to export them.

There's no way to add places you plan on visiting to a trip route. There are lists, but that's different. That alone makes this app less useful. 

App also crashes if you're adding friends through Twitter and you've previously allowed Twitter access but withdrew that later. 

On a positive note, the app has a fair bit of offline content (Openstreetmap and Wikipedia), which should alleviate access once you're in Berlin.

### 2/5 — Not much more than a map

*2011-09-02, version 3.0.2*

I had hoped for more.
Would be good if you could enter an address and see it on the map.
Also since subways and trains are so plentiful - a map and the ability to enter an address and get the shortest train routes to there would be really good.
Teh descriptions are from wikipedia - not really focused on tourism per se.
I would pay $5 for something that had more complete feature set. 
This was mildly helpful.

### 2/5 — Berlin

*2011-04-23, version 3.0.2*

It was a bit disappointing.  Te map was good but the guide didn't often work.  I was looking forward to just being able to use the iPad more or less by itself, but there was no subway map, and the guide didn't often work.  When I had wifi, google maps was much more helpful.

### 3/5 — Almost everything is guided tours

*2024-05-23, version 21.0*

Includes almost nothing that you can do directly and almost everything is guided tours, limited selection of activities and places to go. Offline maps is nice idea but both apple and google maps offer download maps that include more.

### 3/5 — It’s just an offline google map

*2018-01-20, version 11.1.2*

Very disappointed. All it is is google maps offline. No more functionality.

### 3/5 — Great Detail

*2017-04-02, version 11.1.2*

Great detail and very accurate.

### 5/5 — Saved my bacon

*2021-11-05, version 21.0*

🙏

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-08-29, version 11.1.2*

What a wonderful app. Works beautifully, highly useful. There isn’t a place I’d visit without it.

### 5/5 — Extremely Useful!

*2018-11-15, version 11.1.2*

Thank you - enhanced our 4 day stay in Berlin!

### 5/5 — Very Hrlpful App

*2018-08-20, version 11.1.2*

Used it for planning trips in Tokyo and Berlin   Didn’t want to use data while exploring so downloaded maps on iPod and paired with little GPS unit (Bad Elf) so I always knew where I was. 
A little expensive at first but then unlimited maps and still beats buying guide for both cities. Now I can have maps and guides for wherever I want to go, in my pocket. 
I don’t think I’ll ever get lost again.

### 5/5 — Guide facile à utiliser

*2018-06-14, version 11.1.2*

La carte Ulmon permet de se repérer facilement dans les déplacements.
Je l’apprécie particulièrement lors des ballades d’exploration d’une ville nouvelle pour moi. C’est le cas pour Berlin

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2018-02-28, version 11.1.2*

Great app, worked really well on recent trip.

### 5/5 — Invaluable

*2017-12-12, version 11.1.2*

Used the Paris one and now this. Aaaaaamazing! A shame the public transport map isn't here unlike the Paris one but there are many apps for that. I can't recommend this enough

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2017-10-08, version 11.1.2*

I would have been lost without this app. Very good detail

### 5/5 — Great offline map

*2017-08-24, version 11.1.2*

Good information and you can add markers for things not in app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-08-05, version 11.1.2*

Great to use and stay informed!
