Great app

Exceed all expectations

This is the best travel guide by far I have ever seen, not only for apps, but for all travel guid sites on the web. Best by far!

Nothing but ads and sales pitches!!!!

No idea how this on got high ratings. All it is is a sales platform for all sorts of tours, hotels, etc. Not even the maps are free. Not sure what is useful about it. Worst app I’ve ever downloaded bar none. Feel like I’m going to get a slew of junk mail and viruses now.

Second time that helps me

I normally travel for business to Boston. I downloaded the app about a year ago and again last week. It has improved a lot and now that it is free I am taking more advantage of it.
Just went for lunch to an amazing place that I didnt know before in the city.

Response from developer

Thank you very much. Yes indeed we have put this product for free to simply give a better experience to everyone trying the app.

Lame, free offer doesn’t offer any features you want

Might be a good app if you want to pay. The free offer is useless.

Response from developer

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. 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. Please check out our new free app "Tours & Travel" https://itunes.apple.com/app/tours-travel/id886459427?mt=8 Thank you

OMG the ADS!!!!

The app is free but it only show you ads to buy the app for $4

Response from developer

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.

Rip Off

Don't bother downloading if you think it's free! The app itself is free but you can't use any map without paying $4 to unlock it!! Waste of time!!!

Actually $3.99

Not a free map site. Will charge you $3.99 to 'unlock' the maps.

Not recommended

This in-app purchase will not completely download to my iPad. The parts that did download are awkward to use - it would be easier and faster to use a traditional guide book. I have asked Apple for a refund and they do not respond.

J'ai téléchargé cette application qui n'offre peu sans la carte. Une fois la carte achetée à 7$, plus rien ne fonctionne.

Not at all happy

I downloaded this app and then spent money to get the off-line maps. Then I realised that the first upgrade doesn't include the offline maps, and instead you have to upgrade again! I emailed customer support but the email bounced back.
I'm trying to get a refund from Apple - this is not how to run a business!!

Map bought are gone

I bought the Boston map and two days after the map is gone and they're asking me to buy it again. Email the company but no response

Inutile

Google maps et le petit guide de l'hotel sont mieux.

BIG WASTE!

This is the biggest rip off I have ever seen in the app store. All of the information about Boston was copied and pasted from Wikipedia! I paid for unique information and I didn't get it! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

BRUTAL - AVOID

This is the worst app I have ever downloaded. would give it zero stars if i could. Has about 15 restaurants and doesn't offer anythng but address.

Application non fonctionnelle !!!!

Lorsque j'active l'icône de la galerie de photo, l'application se ferme instantanément. J'ai rapporté le problème à l'éditeur qui m'a retourné une réponse polie comme quoi je suis le seul à qui ça arrive, sans plus. Conclusion, j'ai perdu mon argent !!!!!!

Beautiful app, good info, but photo gallery crashes

This is a lovely travel guide and we will certainly enjoy it for our trip to Boston. The interface is fun to use and the information is relatively current and should be quite helpful.

The only problem we have so far is that the app crashes when we attempt to access the photo gallery. We have an iPad 2 and have fully powered off the device several times; still crashes.

Please fix the crashes and this will be a five-star app!
