The free version offers nothing. ### 1/5 — Ingannevole *2016-06-10, version 3.0.17* Risulta come APP Free ma una volta installata qualsiasi contenuto deve essere sbloccato a pagamento. Irritante. ### 1/5 — Très décevant *2016-03-12* N'apporte rien On visite encore mieux la ville sans ce guide ! L'application Google est nettement mieux même si on n'aime pas trop ce géant. Et en plus c'est gratuit. ### 1/5 — Ни какой пользы *2016-01-03* Кроме нескольких фоток ни какой пользы в бесплатной версии. ### 1/5 — Edinbourgh *2014-09-21* Bilderbuch ohne Wert ### 1/5 — Не путеводитель *2014-07-05* Русского языка приложение не предлагает. Описание основных достопримечательностей очень скудные. Единственный балл - за десяток красивых фото. ### 1/5 — Didascalica e poco utile *2013-05-26, version 2.4.6.2* Facile fare di meglio.... ### 1/5 — Too generic information *2013-05-05* This app has very generic and non detailed overview of the city that I find it very unhelpful. Would not have purchased it. ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-02-03* There must be better. Click on hotels & you get hospitals. Our hotel, the Sheraton, was not even listed or marked on the map. ### 1/5 — Mala *2013-01-10, version 2.4.2* No merece la pena pagar por esto..mejor ponerse planeta finito con Joaquín Reyes ### 1/5 — Timo. *2011-10-15, version 2.1.1* Debería existir un filtro para estas app tan malas. No la compreis. ### 1/5 — No es para tanto *2011-10-07, version 2.1.1* La compré solo por lo de la realidad aumentada y por llevar el mapa offline con el gps, y la primera no funciona y la situación no coincidía. Encima 4€. No la compréis. Hay más guías por ahí gratis. ### 1/5 — Murks *2011-06-17* Nett aufgemachte, aber wertlose Tipps aus einer Werbebroschüre. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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* 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. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you think it’s free *2018-05-10* App is free but to get any features you have to pay 5£. Deleted it right away. **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 — 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.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — Terrible if you don’t pay *2018-03-12* 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 **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 — 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2017-03-05* Maps have very limited ability to zoom in. No capability to route from point to point. Info links do not appear to work. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Schrott *2016-10-26* Schrott, Geld besser anlegen!!!! ### 1/5 — Won't work without paying *2016-08-20* Useless as a map without paying up front. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gulwajid *2026-01-24* Beautiful city ### 5/5 — Very useful *2017-09-20* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. We are very happy that you enjoyed the app. ### 4/5 — Edinburgh - A Useful Travel Guide *2011-03-27* This is a useful guide to Edinburgh; better for the first time visitor. Some aspects are not up to date (March 2011) but there are no serious deficiencies. Is worth the price. ### 2/5 — La carte off line n’est pas efficace *2018-08-16* On ne voit pas où on est localisé sur la carte, la seule raison pour laquelle j’avais payé le 5,99$. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for reaching out, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
