### 5/5 — Too Nice Weather

*2025-12-18*

Don’t come with a bad attitude

### 5/5 — San Diego

*2025-09-17*

Flat out Awesome

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-03-12*

Writing this review, then deleting. The app gives very little info, besides how to upgrade to get taxed an unreasonable amount for a worthless app. I'd be super disappointed had i of spent $ instead of just my time. And yet still feel ripped off somehow.

### 1/5 — 何か開くたびに課金させようとする

*2018-10-24, version 3.0.34*

hotel開くとupgradeさせましょう、
tour開いてみてたらしばらくして
upgradeさせましょう。
うっとうしいし、
実際お金払わないとほぼほぼの機能が使えないので、
逆説的に言うと、お金払わないと使えないアプリ。

### 1/5 — Very unhappy

*2018-08-10*

I was looking for a San Diego Street Map....I paid extra to get a very bad map...where are the street names?  No detail at all.
I want my money back!  This map is useless.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2017-11-12*

I paid $5.99 for maps of San Diego and opened the app only to find out THERE ARE NO MAPS.   IF YOU WANT A MAP YOU HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR each section on San Diego an additional $2.99 each area of San Diego making this app ridiculously expensive and useless.

Do not purchase this app since you don’t receive ANY MAPS FOR YOUR $5.99 PURCHASE!!!!!!!

**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 — Nothing Here

*2017-11-02*

Download the app and immediately have to pay $2.99 for features that then tell u nothing.  Refund please

**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. All refunds are process by Apple. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience that this might have caused you.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2016-06-20*

Says it is a free app, which it is, but to unlock any of the features it advertises you need to pay in the app.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2015-11-02*

Não consegui fazer o download dos mapas mesmo após ter pago por eles.

### 1/5 — しまった。日本語じゃあない。

*2014-05-22, version 3.0.9*

英語が読めない。失敗した。
