### 1/5 — Бесполезная программа

*2026-02-08*

Нужен интернет для ее использования и при нажатии на интересующую информацию сразу отправляет в appstore. Прога агрегатор агрегаторов по экскурсиям. Спасибо что бесплптно.

### 3/5 — Глючит

*2023-10-11*

Глючит немного и это раздражает !

### 1/5 — Отвратительно!

*2020-11-13*

Никаких заявленных туров. Одна реклама от местных экскурсоводов. Карта неточная, все достопримечательности перемешаны

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-02-04*

I’ve not got enough time to understand what the app has to offer, but you already attacked me a billion times with offer to upgrade to paid version. 

It is so annoying!!

### 1/5 — Не стоит оно своих денег

*2018-03-17*

Очень мало информации. 
Красочное приложение не наполненное контентом.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry your experience was not as expected. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. 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.

### 4/5 — Неплохо

*2013-02-15*

Очень неплохо. Пользовался в Стамбуле с IPad mini. Нормальная оффлайн карта.

### 2/5 — Грустная карта :(

*2012-06-09*

Карта очень не подробная, 3/4 улиц не названы. Онлайн карты от Яндекса или Гугла на порядок подробнее...  Вообщем выброшенные деньги, ориентироваться по такой карте получится наврядли :( От желания потребовать деньги назад удерживает только лень...

### 1/5 — Некачественный продукт

*2012-06-08*

Карта явно не стоит этих денег: сильно подвисает, а потом вылетает в главное меню. Ужас. Посмотреть ничего не успеваешь.

### 2/5 — Metro stops missing

*2012-02-07*

Despite having been updated in Jan 2012, this app is missing key metro stops that have been around for quite some time and the map area itself doesn't even encompass the entire metro system. It also leaves out a number of key bus stops--in fact I can't guess as to what criteria have been used for including some bus stops and leaving out others. I bought this map hoping that it would have the features missing in some of the free apps, including the free map provided by Google. Since that's not the case, this really isn't worth paying for.
