## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless.

*2017-12-02, version 3.0.12*

This should not even be in the App Store. It is pure 100% garbage

### 1/5 — Nothing useful for free

*2017-07-28, version 3.0.12*

I would expect a map app to include
Maps. But in order to access or download map it is 2.99 per location.  Misleading representation. Deleted.

### 1/5 — A real dud

*2017-06-29, version 3.0.12*

This app is clearly not worth $3.

No downloadable maps, no real time navigation.
A disappointment.

How can they sell 25 photos, small descriptive paragraphs an a tiny static map for that price?

Don't buy it!

### 1/5 — ужасное приложение

*2015-12-09, version 3.0.10*

из карты вылетаешь при поиске, карта не информативна. ничего самостоятельно найти нельзя. путеводитель неудобный вообще.

### 1/5 — Бебебе

*2013-01-02, version 2.4.2*

Крайне скудные описания достопримечательностей. При этом на карте найти их невозможно, так как адреса просто не даются.

### 1/5 — Фигня

*2012-12-23, version 2.4.2*

Все на английском. И перевода нет.

### 2/5 — Beta version at best

*2012-12-14, version 2.4.2*

The first thing a guide should have is info about a place.  This app has very little.  You won't find the Sheraton in district 1 or popular tourist restaurants like Ngon 138.    

The map drives me crazy. Where you are has to be in the center of the map with big arrow that covers up the map.  The direction of the arrow has no meaning, so the is no compass bearing. You can be traveling in the opposite direction from where the arrow is pointing.  Map does not orient itself. North is always at top. Not good for navigating.  If you try to orient the iPad the map my flip around and disorient itself again.  Really annoying.  You can not search on a street or location name.  No map search.  Icon for place types stripes across the middle of map covering map. No icon for shopping location. It only seems to know about the major shopping centers and markets. 

Virtual reality works but simply names a place you are pointing at and then by tapping you get a short blurb to pop up about it.  Not a lot of places show up either.  Just too little content.  

Finally, it crashes every minute or two. Almost unusable. 

Overall the concept of this app is good, but it just is not done yet. They should not be charging for it. I got virtually no value. I felt like I was running a user test.  At this stage they should be paying me rather than selling me the app. 

I look forward to the updates for the next time I am in Saigon and I'll update the review.

### 4/5 — Нет русского языка

*2013-10-03, version 3.0.4*

Программа норм, но не стоит скачивать, если вы не знаете русского языка.
