### 5/5 — Gulwajid

*2026-01-24*

Beautiful city

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2023-04-23*

Looks like a work in progress. Very little information given, map is not interactive. Save your money and use Google or Apple maps.

### 1/5 — How do you use a map if you can’t search it?

*2022-10-14, version 3.0.39*

I did the free download and opened the map. I see no way to use it though.  I would want to search for my hotel to start with, then for places or services, walking directions, transit stops.  Like an offline map I used in Rome.  Maybe this app is exclusively for making suggestions.

### 2/5 — La carte off line n’est pas efficace

*2018-08-16, version 3.0.36*

On ne voit pas où on est localisé sur la carte,  la seule raison pour laquelle j’avais payé le 5,99$.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you think it’s free

*2018-05-10, version 3.0.35*

App is free but to get any features you have to pay 5£. Deleted it right away.

### 1/5 — No help at all

*2018-05-07*

Free version is useless

**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 — Terrible if you don’t pay

*2018-03-12, version 3.0.35*

The free version of the app is virtually useless, pretty much anything on it that could actually be helpful links you to a page to upgrade to the paid version

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2018-03-05*

I’m in Edinburgh & this app is no use at all. Maps are worse than Apple maps & the places of interest pointers are in the wrong place. Several of the images are of the wrong place! Complete rubbish & worse than useless. I want my money back!

Update: I contacted the developer but got no response.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Our main concern is the maps issue that has affected you and we are sorry for the trouble.
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.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2017-09-20, version 3.0.33*

Ive installed this app before going to Edinburgh. I updated it yesterday and this update is great. Really helpful and cant wait to use it while walking the city.

### 1/5 — Questa App non è gratuita.

*2017-04-13, version 3.0.30*

Inseriscono questa guida tra le App gratuite e una volta scaricata devi comprarla a più di 3 euro se vuoi utilizzarla. Proposta ingannevole.
