What??? Somebody should be fired here… ### 2/5 — Nothing useful for free *2021-02-11, version 3.0.35* Better to give a price in shop And we will know it’s not for free without downloading and spending time for nothing... ### 3/5 — Please, test and fix bugs *2021-02-07, version 3.0.35* Something is wrong with the map. Galata tower and a few more poi are at the water. Far from the real poi. I do respect the efforts and time invested in app development but, please, fix the bugs. Allegedly it’s not the only one. The core idea is great, thanks. ### 2/5 — Good but expensive *2018-11-11* This app seems reasonably priced at first glance, but every time you want to download a city guide so that you can use it on the go without internet connection, you have to pay $5 - $8 for each city. For someone visiting ,say, ten cities in Europe it suddenly becomes very expensive. The whole point of a guide is that it is available out in the city, not just in your hotel or Airbnb. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. 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. 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 — Terrible *2018-02-07* Nothing is free!!! You have to pay for all of the parts..I didn’t like this ! Bad ! 👎🏽 **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 — Completely useless *2017-07-24, version 3.0.30* I regret paying the 2 or 3 $ for such an application, I thought it has something special or extra information or technical map that shoes you all the Gyms around your area or stuff like that!! Pff complete waste of Money, all what this application has is simply on google nothing at all that was worth it ! ### 1/5 — Не покупать !! *2017-06-18* Абсолютно бесполезное приложение! Не информативное! Даже бесплатно оно не несёт никаких полезных советов ### 1/5 — Развод на деньги! *2017-02-27* Минимум информации! Только фото, все это можно и так в интернете найти. ### 1/5 — Awful *2016-12-10* Payed for it, but can't even use the map. Awful ### 5/5 — Great travel guide..... *2016-05-09* Istanbul Travel Guide with Offline City Street Maps is awesome app. This app are easily to download and running fast without any problem.

Es gibt nicht mal die Möglichkeit sich alle Attraktionen in der App anzuschauen ### 1/5 — Türkçe değil sil gitsin *2025-03-23, version 3.0.44* Türkçe değil sil gitsin ### 1/5 — Too many referrals and no valuable info *2023-12-26, version 3.0.37* The app is full of links ### 1/5 — Keinen Mehrnutzen *2023-08-27, version 3.0.37* App dient m. E. nur zum Vermitteln von kostenpflichtigen Touren. Habe keinen Mehrnutzen erkannt, den nicht Google Maps und GetYourGuide schon leisten. ### 1/5 — Map *2023-07-08* LOL no map in free is awkward) why do you have 1-day trip option? Useless ### 1/5 — It certainly is not worth it *2019-02-08, version 3.0.32* I downloaded the app, upgraded (I paid) and surprise ... offline maps do not work. No downloads because you pay for nothing ... ### 1/5 — не приложение а г... *2018-10-09* никогда не оставлял отзывы приложениям, а вот тут оставлю. не качайте это приложение! и тем более платную версию! абсолютно бесполезное приложение. точки на карте не точные. карта метро неактуальная. сама карта пиксельная картинка и на половину обрезана. остановки тоже не точно. худшее приложение из всех которыми я пользовался. не вздумайте платить этим мошенникам. жаль нельзя выражаться нецензурно. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

La vostra app per Istanbul è davvero inutile, senza offesa. Ho scaricato la vostra applicazione sperando di avere una guida che mi aiuti con l’uso e gli spostamenti con i mezzi pubblici di Istanbul, invece ho trovato solo una cartina delle metro. Non è giusto. Credetemi.. p.s. so bene che nn avrò indietro i miei soldi.. non sono deluso per i 4€ ma per il principio!! ### 1/5 — iPhone X *2018-05-06* O aplicativo deveria ser mais honesto, se quiser usar qualquer recurso tem que pagar. Minha queixa não é pelo valor mas pela desonestidade de não informar que é todo pago **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.
