Man muss alles kaufen für ca. 4,50€...um irgendwas zu erfahren. Sehr schade. Wenn dann sollte man die App gleich für einen Festpreis kaufen können, wo alles freigeschaltet ist. ### 1/5 — Inutile *2017-06-03* J'ai téléchargé cette application avant de partir au japon. J'avais mis beaucoup d'espoir sur la version hors ligne car je n'avais pas de carte téléphone locale. En fait cette application ne m'a servi à rien : cartes imprécises, noms de rues manquants, les infos banales et sans intérêt, pas de localisation possible. La solution a été la bonne vieille carte en papier. Seule la réalité virtuelle peut avoir un intérêt et encore. Donc c'est cher et inutile. Je déconseille. ### 1/5 — Es gratis... el 1% *2017-05-07* Flipo con la app. Es gratis sí: solo el menú principal. Como entres en los botones Mapa interactivo, imprescindibles, rutas de metro, historia de Japón, Tours por días,... tienes que desbloquearlo por 4,99€. No hay nada gratis... menos el descargárselo. Debería estar prohibido este tipo de técnica. Sino hay nada gratis no me hagáis perder el tiempo si busco primero algo gratis. O véndeme la descarga. ### 1/5 — Very bad! *2017-04-16* I downloaded the app, and immediately you need to pay $3,99 in order to see their homepage. If you want to see a map, you have to pay again. If you want to read info about food, you have to pay again, if you want to see a map, you have to pay! Every single thing in this app you have to pay $3,99, not once, but each time for EVERYTHING! Definitely not worth it 😒 ### 1/5 — No está en español *2017-03-07* Título de la app en español pero no traducida. ### 1/5 — Not worth!!! *2017-02-19* Tips are not well organized. Seems more like a collection of text files, and photos. If you want offline maps, augmented reality, metro lines, you have to pay extra for each. Worst app I have ever tried. ### 1/5 — ..una continua richiesta di soldi.. *2017-01-02* Sono sempre stato favorevole alle app. a pagamento, per molti motivi che non sto qui ad elencare. Ma questa provoca una emorragia continua di denaro, senza darti ciò che ti aspetti ogni volta... Ad ogni pagamento effettuato, ti accorgi che poi devi farne ancora uno per ottenere... e poi avanti così, ad oltranza... Ok, mi avete fregato, bravi ! Ma io ho perso solo 4 euro... mentre voi fate solo tenerezza e pena. Cari utenti, un consiglio, non abbiate fretta ed acquistate con calma, diffidando di chi non ha molte recensioni... per ovvi motivi. Un saluto. ### 1/5 — Nutzlos *2016-10-22* Komplett nutzlos ohne das aufgezwungene 4€ Upgrade ### 1/5 — Inutile *2016-07-22* Informations médiocres, plans chers et inutilisables ### 1/5 — N'achetez jamais cette application! C'est une véritable arnaque, c'est du vol! Nulle!!! *2016-05-22* N'achetez jamais cette application! C'est une véritable arnaque, c'est du vol! On vous demandera d'acheter plusieurs cartes qui d'une part n'ont aucune valeur (aucune indication de rue, les cartes ressembles à des dessins d'enfant, pratiquement inutilisables). On est obligé de mettre une étoile afin de pouvoir envoyer son avis, mais l'application n'en vaut absolument aucune étoile. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas : oubliez cette appli ! *2016-05-18* J'ai payé pour plusieurs villes qui m'intéressaient, j'aurais du pouvoir consulter les guides et cartes hors ligne... Nada ! Rien ! L'appli a tout simplement planté à chaque tentative de connexion, même en wifi !!! A aucun moment je n'ai pu m'en servir ! Arnaque ! ### 1/5 — Nul :( :( *2016-03-28* Obliger de mettre 1 étoile mais elle en vaut pas une seule il faut payer un tas d'autre plans pfffff. ### 1/5 — Nul *2016-03-20* Tout est payant ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Borderline Scam *2025-04-05* You don’t get anything useful unless you pay. Most of the free information are links to tours and hotels. This is a cookie cutter app from an app mill. Other similar apps from these developers: - Japan Travel Guide - Tokyo Travel Guide - Kyoto Travel Guide - Osaka Travel Guide and others ### 1/5 — App does not work! *2018-12-05* The application does not work! I bought the full version, but functions are not available! **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. 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 — Absolut nutzlos ... *2018-11-08* Ist das Geld nicht Wert. Die Informationen sind nutzlos. Die Offlinekarte ist ein Witz. Jedes dämliche InApp-Kauf-Modul kostet zusätzlich 5€. Kann jedem die offizielle Japan Travel App empfehlen. Die kostet nichts und kann mehr. **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.

Support site does not exist. Avoid this developer at all costs! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as this improvement is done. However, if you did not like the app you can always get your money back. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Deception *2018-08-11* I bought this app, but I can’t use every function. **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for reaching out and we are very sorry about this issue. Please make sure you are connected to internet and delete the app and reinstall it. After that, try the following. You will not be charged twice. Try downloading the already paid content as you did the first time. Apple will tell you the price but when you hit the buy button you will receive a pop up saying that you can download it for free because you have already paid the product. You will not be charged twice, we guarantee that, if you do, please send us the receipt and we will help you process a refund with Apple. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2018-05-11* Putting up a bunch of petty pictures and pasting some easy texts doesn't make a good app. You can't see any features until you pay, and only then you realize that the functionality (especially the maps and navigation) is lame or outright inexistent. The map is poor, and got stuck. Disfuncional. I wish apple did something about these kind of dishonesty on the app store. No wonder they make a gazillion apps. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as this improvement is done. However, if you did not like the app you can always get your money back. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Приложение отстойник *2018-04-17* Приложение куплено за 299 рублей. НЕ РАБОТАЕТ. НЕ КАЧАЙТЕ. НЕ ПЛАТИТЕ. ПОЛНЫЙ ОТСТОЙ **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. 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 — Free downloads cheaper and better *2018-01-01* Every time you go to search a city you have to pay additional money. This app has to be a scam? It gives very little information. **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 — Waste of money *2017-10-03* Unbelievable that they charge more than 4 EUR for the most basic map. **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.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — Ist das Geld nicht wert ! *2017-09-14* Auf jeder frei zugänglichen Internetseite erfährt man mehr über Japan/Tokio **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.
