### 1/5 — 这不是买票的App

*2025-06-29*

这个软件并不能购票，下载地图还收了22块钱，不知道为什么，真的很恶心！图片很假，不具备参考意义！

### 1/5 — 全是英文小孩看不懂还没有总感觉图片像假的

*2023-08-01*

建议改成中文，毕竟是中国人看有人看不懂英文总感觉图片也不太真实希望作者别糊弄

### 1/5 — 假的

*2023-07-13*

全都是英文字母，没有汉字。

### 1/5 — 软件开发者来看看

*2020-04-10*

希望我的36块钱能治好你的新冠肺炎

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy It

*2018-12-07*

You get crappy little maps of the forbidden city and then you’ll be asked to pay more to get more crappy maps of Beijing

### 1/5 — No no no   Not worth it

*2018-03-18*

Nonono

### 1/5 — 用点心 别糊弄

*2018-03-01*

上一些和故宫无关的照片糊弄事
制作人水平比较差

### 2/5 — No interactive map. No GPS positioning.

*2016-08-29*

No positioning on map with corresponding info. Just has 3 pictures of maps that you can probably see at the museum and take your own picture. Some general info on the museum that you can find on he Internet and other apps for free.  Not worth the in app purchase of 2.99 $. Regret.  Also, their other two Beijing apps, which they apparently spam tagged with search words, crashed immediately and persistently. Deleted them. There is another less flashy looking, but better app by a Chinese author--for free.
