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. ### 2/5 — Better off using a search engine *2018-01-13, version 3.0.38* There’s a large collection of data here that, as a traveler, I didn’t find to be particularly relevant. You get quantity over quality and like another reviewer pointed out, it does feel like information has been ripped from Wikipedia articles. It is verbose to the point of highlighting historical climate data, which I’m betting most tourists will find irrelevant, so you have to do some sifting for the info you want, whilst swiping away the full-feature advertisement that slides in to fill the the screen every few minutes or so. I can’t comment on the paid content, but don’t bother with the free version. ### 2/5 — Should really be a paid app *2017-09-12* I only spent about five mins trying to use this app but it seems to be a useless unless you purchase the maps or itineraries. 3.99 for the maps seems pricey given you can get them for free online **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. ### 4/5 — Tourist guide *2016-09-26, version 3.0.28* If you are a travellers and if you like to visit new places or county and if you don't know the exact place,then without being confused download Hong Kong Travel Guide and Offline City Map.It is one of the useful app.It can be used while offline.It is far better than other app.It provides zoomable offline maps showing the attrctions,public stops,restuarants,pubs.hotels,hospitals,etc.Like it.Great hong kong guide maps. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2016-09-26* This Hong kong guide is very helpful to find things there if you're a tourist looking to find certain things.

We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Thank you. 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 — Waste of time *2018-03-24, version 3.0.38* I downloaded the paid version and couldn’t tell if anything had changed. Maps were seriously old looking and lacked detail. Free version is ok for the content but not worth the download. I’ve just used offline version of google maps works a million times better ### 1/5 — Could be a good app *2018-02-09, version 3.0.38* It is a pity that the add to purchase the £3.99 version slides in every minute or so, and that you have to remove it. It doesn’t help for the customer experience. In other apps the free version at least let you have a nice smooth experience, although you know that you are missing more because you didn’t pay. As I said, could be a good app if you pay £3.99. As I didn’t, I have to delete it because the adds doesn’t let you even read any of the articles. ### 1/5 — No! *2018-01-02* I paid 3.99 for the upgraded version and IT NEVER WORKED AT ALL. Every time I opened it it says I had to download again and that would take 10 minutes and then didn’t work anyway. I want my 3.99 BACK!!!!! I tried restore purchases and still NOTHING!!!!! **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 — Poor attempt at charging for Wikipedia / Wikitravel content *2018-01-01, version 3.0.38* The content of this app is largely restricted unless you pay for the in-app purchase. It seems to be almost 100% copied and pasted from Wikipedia / Wikitravel. Apps like this shouldn’t be allowed on the App Store. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch. Nothing is free *2017-02-28, version 3.0.30* Costs 3.99 to do anything in app ### 1/5 — Not free. Bait and switch *2017-02-16, version 3.0.30* I'm not sure about all the glowing reviews, but none of the maps are free. Every item I click requires a $3.99 purchase. Deleted right away. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2016-12-27* False advertisement. Advertises as a free app with offline map. You need to pay to access anything if real use including the map. The free aspect are some stock photos and a short blurb about Hong King. Waste of time and delete straight away. **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 — Not free at all *2016-12-26, version 3.0.30* Not free at all. Demands payment to even open and view. I suggest you avoid at all cost. Deceitful to say the least. ### 1/5 — Installing failed *2016-06-07* First try to download the map. Needs approximately 1hour. The it never finish installing. Very frustrating! Wasted Money! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2016-10-09* This Hong Kong guide is a great app to f you are planning to visit the city.
