### 5/5 — Bonne apps

*2025-05-13, version 6.6*

Une chouette application pour découvrir des pépites avec une interface intuitive et facile d’utilisation.

### 4/5 — Bien mais…

*2025-03-24, version 6.6*

Une appli avec un vrai potentiel j’aime beaucoup les balades proposées et anecdotes et ai pris la version premium lifetime 
MAIS à ce prix, il serait appréciable de: 
- pouvoir quitter l’application en cours de route sans reset la balade 
- écouter de la musique en parallèle 
- avoir la possibilité d’activer l’option “alerte pépite proche” en continu qui déclenche une notif directement quand nous sommes à côté d’une “pépite” sans avoir à spécifiquement lancer cette navigation, qui a un potentiel que j’adore et est la raison pour laquelle j’ai pris l’application mais ne permet pas de quitter l’application sans se réinitialiser donc devient très peu utilisable finalement 
- distinguer les “pépites” “déjà vues” en les mettant en gris plutôt que jaune par exemple pour visualiser plus facilement sur la carte les points pas encore visités pour savoir où aller la prochaine fois (idem avec les balades même si moins indispensable car plus facile de s’en rappeler)

Si ces options sont implémentées je pense que je ne pourrais plus m’en passer

### 1/5 — déçu - contenu devenu payant après le dernier mis à jour

*2024-10-17, version 6.2*

Vraiment déçu - plupart de fonctionnalité est maintenant devenu payante grâce à dernière mis à jour. À fuir

### 5/5 — Un bon compagnon durant vos voyages

*2024-09-26, version 6.1*

Cette invitation à la flânerie vous fait redécouvrir votre quartier. Il vous suffit de l’activer et de vous laisser guider, très sympa. Son potentiel est bien plus vaste qu’une simple promenade, je l’utilise même pour préparer mes voyages.

### 5/5 — Au top

*2024-09-26, version 6.1*

Appli au top! Facilite les voyages à l’étranger

### 5/5 — Génial

*2024-09-25, version 6.1*

C’est une super app pour marcher un peu tout les jours ! Il y a pleins de parcours à Paris et dans les villes autour, et l’app est facile à utiliser. Leur contenu se diversifie de plus en plus, ce qui est un plus. Je recommande !

### 5/5 — Concept top!

*2024-09-04, version 6.1*

Application facile d’utilisation! Le concept est génial et m’a été très utile pendant les vacances, je recommande!

### 5/5 — Concept absolument génial

*2024-09-04, version 6.1*

Application très fluide, facile d’utilisation et très motivante pour découvrir les merveilles qui nous entourent

### 5/5 — Pratique et divertissant !

*2024-05-27, version 6.0*

l’appli est très intuitive et super simple à prendre en mains, elle rend chaque sortie spéciale et me permets de (re)découvrir les pépites autour de moi !
Je recommande vivement CityGem à tous ceux qui aiment se balader !!
J’ai hâte de tester l’appli dans d’autres villes pour voir ce qu’elles ont à offrir :)

### 5/5 — Génial

*2024-05-27, version 6.0*

Super application qui m’a fait explorer les alentours de chez moi !! Vous ne voyez pas le temps passer ! J’ai redécouvert la marche !!! Je recommande vivement .
