A wasted download ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2016-12-22* Free to download but maps, guide & content costs money to download. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2016-11-03* This shows as a free app but after you download and open, you can't access anything in the app unless you pay $2.99 for the maps. Forget it. I don't like being tricked. I deleted app. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2016-10-23* Need to pay to use ### 1/5 — The app has hidden costs *2015-01-08* The app went from $2.99 to free BUT you have to pay to unlock the maps. The app seems useless without the maps ### 1/5 — Escroquerie *2014-09-15, version 3.0.7* Attention n'achetez pas, ceci est une pure escroquerie ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2014-03-02* Upgraded to IOS 6.1.5 and installed this app. Shows the opening screen and then goes black. ### 1/5 — Where's the info? *2012-05-23* There's hardly any information here! ### 2/5 — Don't Buy! *2011-05-06* Crashes, map is horrible, not much content. A few interesting tidbits, so I gave 2 stars, but that's it. Total waste of money! I regret buying! ### 1/5 — No content *2011-03-19, version 2.0.1* I agree. No content and a waste of money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dude… *2025-06-08* Okay so I got this app for a family trip to NOLA and it’s useless. All of the stuff can quickly be found on google- don’t waste your time 😭😭 There’s also a premium subscription????? Dude- who is going to pay for this if they’re on vacation and already splurging? All the info is public. So why steal it, force people to pay a bajillion dollars, and think that’s OK? I got a San Antonio app for when we went there and it’s the official one run by the city- it was so good!! I was hoping to find a N’Awlins one by the same people but nope. This was useless and google was really the savior and travel guide for my trip. ### 1/5 — Just another tourist trap *2020-01-28* No real info about the city. Just trying to market their tours and excursions. Stay away. ### 1/5 — Just Ads *2019-10-29* This app is well designed, but unfortunately it is just a referral for purchasing tours, hotels, and attractions. No City info that isn't related to purchasing a ticket. DELETED ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-06-06, version 3.0.20* Useless, asks for upgrade straight away ### 1/5 — Review *2018-08-09* By far the worst app I have ever installed. Not really a guild, I seen flyers with more information **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 — Useless *2018-08-05* Worthless junk app that’s just a front to purchase another app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

The narrator (if you choose to use it), sounds like a bad robotic voice from the Jetsons. I think the entire app was just copy/pasted from Wikipedia. **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 — Tourist *2017-09-07* Not a free app. After you download the app you can't do anything until you download the map for $2.99. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry your experience was not as expected. 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 — Be careful *2017-05-02, version 3.0.14* If you aren't careful, the app will purchase itself. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Momai’s Vacation Plan to New Orleans *2025-06-23* New Orleans is famous for jazz music. It also has many boat tours and is very swampy. The French Quarter and the Mardi Gras are the hot spots for vacationing in New Orleans. ### 5/5 — Travel Guide at My Fingertip’s *2021-12-17* Colorful and Informative ### 5/5 — Favourite website *2020-06-28, version 3.0.25* Really helps you out on everything you want to know about visiting New Orleans (hotels,places to go, food etc:) ### 5/5 — New Orleans *2020-06-21* Love New Orleans. Lived there 7 years. Not a day goes by, without thinking of my beloved New Orleans. ### 5/5 — Útil *2020-03-02, version 3.0.24* Se aprende ### 5/5 — Top things to do *2019-02-07* I love this app. I live in New Orleans and installed the app about a year ago. The developer does a great job updating the sites to visit in the city. Ive noticed that the app is fully free now, I paid for it but it seems that has a lot of different new things to offer such as tours around the city. I use this app normally when I want to go to a new place or when my parents come from california to visit me. New Orleans has a lot more than just the tourist places to offer and with this app you can get to know the city and move around it pretty easy. Im planning to take my girlfriend to a dinner cruise on a steamboat in a couple of weeks and this app has those kind of things to discover. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. We are very happy that you enjoyed the app. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-02-22* Used it during my trip to New Orleans last week. It was very helpful and full of things to do. ### 5/5 — Good city app *2017-02-22* Nice guide. Im travelling for mardi gras and cant wait to test it out while in the city. ### 5/5 — ❤️ New Orleans *2017-02-22* Great travel guide and offline maps. ### 5/5 — No content whatsoever *2011-03-05, version 2.0.1* What a total waste of money. No content at all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
