### 1/5 — Visiting City

*2018-02-12, version 3.0.13*

Very poorly done,  and does not provide useful information. Even our with purchase still poorly done.

### 1/5 — Can't read streets / Can't zoom to see enough

*2017-08-04, version 3.0.12*

Can't zoom in enough to read streets / Can't zoom out enough to see entire city 👎

### 1/5 — Bad, bad

*2016-04-17, version 3.0.11*

It is not working good, not information enough. Map offline it cost.  Real y bad app

### 1/5 — Noo la compren!!

*2016-02-28, version 3.0.11*

Es un verdadero mugrero esta App no vienen ni una cuarta parte de los hoteles que hay en Houston, ni restaurantes es una verdadera estafa!!!

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2013-05-09, version 2.4.6.2*

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS USELESS PIECE OF PRINT. A ONE DOLLAR ROAD MAP HAS MORE INFORMATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST THAN THIS HOAX OF A BOOK!

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2011-11-05, version 2.1.1*

I liked it. Really helpful at Houston, I liked the offline maps, the places to go suggestions and the augmented reality gadget. The best!

### 1/5 — Not as expected

*2011-10-30, version 2.1.1*

I wanted a guide on how to get to places in Houston. What I got is more of a historical stuff. Well. I should have just used the power of Safari to get that. I can't even zoom in or rotate my view, so I can read clearly whatever they wrote in this app. I feel guilty. I should have just given my $5 to one hungry guy walking in the streets of Houston. 
I think the concept in this app is not jibing with what I wanted. What they try to give out had below- average execution. Others would have just given better applications for free. Why did I buy it? I just got caught by the title of the app. There was an app for Los Angeles, and I thought this should be similar, except this was for Houston.  I believe I got trapped.

### 1/5 — Texas isn't Houston

*2011-02-02*

Calling this a Texas State travel guide is incorrect.  There is only information about Houston contained in the app.  It's not ready for prime time.
