### 2/5 — Florence travel guide

*2016-09-11, version 3.0.36*

This app says free but is very misleading. Once you open every aspect of this app has a charge from $2.99 and up. 
Not recommended.

### 2/5 — Неудобный путеводитель

*2016-09-10*

Путеводитель крайне плохо адаптирован для русского языка. Оффлайн карта не подробна. Некоторые разделы, такие как покупки, содержат крайне скудную информацию. Нельзя кликнуть на достопримечательность и получить полную информацию, её необходимо искать в маршрутах. Крайне неудобный интерфейс. Приложение разочаровало.

### 4/5 — awesome

*2016-07-09*

i especially love the Florence travel guide tour section about travel passes and ways to save money. we are backpackers and not rolling in money so this really helped us see the beautiful city and stay within our budget.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2016-01-06, version 3.0.33*

Won't download properly!
I have up to date iOS.
....and no communication from them!

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2015-11-04*

This app took way too long to download.  I have the
Newest iPhone and it took over an hour to download.  Unacceptable.  Also, it says it
Can be used offline, not!  This was a waste of money and time.

### 1/5 — A joke

*2015-05-10, version 3.0.24*

Not exactly helpful paying £2.29 for some maps that then won't download. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Тихий развод

*2015-05-05*

Ничего не сделать, пока не заплатишь 169 рублей.

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied is an understatement

*2015-03-03, version 3.0.19*

When I first downloaded this app (for $5) I was able to view everything, the 1,2, 5 day tours, food, maps etc. I open it now and all I'm able to get is the summary of a few places to see. It cost another $2 to get back what I originally bought. This is the biggest rip off. I don't understand how an app can take away what you bought and recharge you for it. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime-time

*2015-02-24*

The Florence app was a real letdown.
1. The Uffizi gallery material wouldn't download after days of trying and 2 requests for support. Nada. Not even an automated reply.
2. The city material is just a toy at best. You must be online for any AR functionality, not easy in a town where stone walls are 3 feet thick.
Then it displays everything from a foot to a mile away on top of each other. When you select something, all you get is a name, no details no reviews nada.

I want my money back.

### 3/5 — Так себе :(

*2014-07-30*

Приложение не понравилось! Путеводитель скудный и скучный, навигация не удобная, а дополненная реальность (из-за которой я и купил приложение) вообще не работает :(

### 1/5 — Seems like just ads

*2025-04-21*

What a waste of data downloading this garbage app that just try’s to up sell you tours without giving any information about Florence.

### 1/5 — Do not bother

*2018-08-14*

This bait&switch app offers very little without in-app up charges, such as for maps.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — NOT offline!

*2018-05-13*

NOT offline!

**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 that the offline mode 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 — Пустой путеводитель

*2018-04-09*

Во фри версии нету ничего. Зачем писать, что я получу, если это только в платной версии?!

**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 — Beware. This is a Sham

*2017-08-08*

The "detailed map" labels only the major thoroughfares. All others are nameless.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2017-04-06, version 3.0.44*

Just be honest and charge at the beginning.  There is nothing free in this app

### 1/5 — Couldn't find any maps. Fake app.

*2017-02-08*

It's not free! $3.99 for just the first round and it's useless

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. The 3.99 unblocks these features: Augmented Reality, offline street and public transportation maps, tourists info for all itineraries in all languages and the metro app. We are very sorry if this was not what you expected. We can always process a refund. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Просит денег, бесплатного ничего нет.

*2016-10-25*

Не понравилось, все платно.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2016-09-15, version 3.0.36*

Will not open, keeps crashing.
Deleted.

### 1/5 — Some potential for a serviceable app, but...

*2016-06-18*

Minor "bug" update was probably just an attempt to bury negative reviews.  This app is still junk!

To me it appears that the main purpose of this app is just to get you to purchase module after module after module, etc.

The "Full" Florence guide does not include the Cathedral guide. So, I buy it, but, it doesn't include the Uffizi guide, so you must buy it, etc. and, the Tuscany guide is also extra. You spend half your time trying to figure out what to purchase to get what you want. Talk about a circular retail experience!!

The maps (that are extra) are rudimentary and practically useless. My advice: save your money and go buy a beer, you will be infinitely happier!

It is giving me a lot of information and a lot of input on the history on the  history of beautiful Florence . Because you want to know where you want to go

### 5/5 — All you in in Florence

*2019-04-15*

This guide is literally all I used to move around Florence. It’s great to have the maps, the descriptions, the restaurants, all you need during your stay right in your phone in one single app. Very user-friendly and exhaustive content. I loved this guide!

### 5/5 — A Florence light-weight book!

*2019-04-11*

Florence travel guide gave me all the tips I needed without the need to carry books or whatsoever. Florence a must see when visiting Tuscany, and even Italy, I guess it’s more worthy than Rome.
When in Florence mind to go to Palazzo Pizzi, unforgettable!

**Developer response:** Thank you. We are very glad you enjoyed the app.

### 5/5 — Florence travel guide

*2019-04-09*

I downloaded florence travel guide about a month ago for my last trip to tuscany. This app helped me on finding the best places to see and visit while in florence. Florence travel guide has amazing pictures and it is a very nice travel companion. You can use it without roaming costs which is a plus. Also florence travel guide has the ability to book excursions through the app which is very nice and the variety of these is incredible.
I would highly recommend this guide if you plan to be in tuscany and florence. Italy is my favorite place on earth.

**Developer response:** Thank you. We are very glad you enjoyed the app.
