Je ne sais pas filtrer avec les symboles comme , piste de dance , type de clientèle. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-04-30, version 3.3* Don’t waste your time unless you want to spend money. All it wants you todo is pay for premium. Nothing on here to see for free ### 1/5 — Premium ne fonctionne pas *2022-04-12* J’ai acheté l’option Europe mais cela ne fonctionne pas Comment faire Merci ### 1/5 — Pay for premium subscription, you get nothing *2022-03-27, version 3.3* premium subscription does not work, these reviews are ancient, this is March 2022, wasted a huge amount of time screwing around with it ### 1/5 — Dated info *2021-11-01* Their gay guide has very dated information & so many main cities like the Gold Coast AUSTRALIA aren’t event listed on this app ### 1/5 — Crap app *2021-10-08* Crap ! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert leider nicht *2021-05-27* Premium Content für Europa gekauft, funktioniert leider nach Kauf nicht. Kauf wiederherstellen schlägt auch fehl. Was nützt die App wenn für € 5,99 mir nicht alles angezeigt wird. Support angeschrieben aber leider keine Rückmeldung erhalten! Schade fürs Geld! ### 1/5 — Aboverwaltung hängt noch immer *2021-05-20* Schon mehrmals gemeldet, es tut sich aber nix. ### 1/5 — unbrauchbar *2021-05-15* Leider noch immer einer der unbrauchbarsten Apps die es gibt. Viel zu viel Geld für nicht funktionieren Suchfunktion. Jämmerlich! ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2019-11-07, version 3.2* App stopped working all of a sudden ### 1/5 — Really? *2019-07-28, version 3.2* This app is basically useless. I can’t believe there are people who wrote positive reviews. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2019-04-13* Clunky, hard to use, and doesn’t have any events that are worth going to. Doesn’t give any real information information about good venues to go to Needs a serious overhaul before it’s worth it ### 4/5 — Helpful at first sight *2019-04-08* Very useful tool at first sight. Have planned a trip to Istanbul at the moment. I have a feeling that there is too little information on sights and too few are listed. Still like yours for its design and graphics. ### 4/5 — Useful app with room for more *2019-04-08* The app is quite quaint and useful for rough planning. Would like to be able to leave personal notes with for example sights that I want to visit. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — nicht brauchbar *2026-03-07* die Glanzzeiten sind vorbei. Veralteter Inhalt , noch von vor Corona und noch älter ! ### 1/5 — App Won’t Even Open *2026-03-06, version 3.3* Used to work ok, but now won’t even run. Just a blank white screen. ### 1/5 — Bad Maps *2026-01-03, version 3.3* The maps don’t show anything specific for LGBT businesses. They are just generic maps that you can get anywhere on the Internet. ### 1/5 — ‘Premium Content’ *2025-10-25* This app doesn’t work. Money back please! ### 1/5 — Hoffnungslos veraltet! *2024-06-17* Kein Verlass auf die Angaben, die sind hoffnungslos veraltet. ### 1/5 — Große Freude entwickelt sich zur Frust *2024-06-01* Habe soeben das Premium Content für Europa gekauft. Aber es funktioniert trotzdem nicht. Schade um‘s Geld. Sehr enttäuscht ### 1/5 — Dumb *2024-03-06, version 3.3* You can just go on google maps and type “gay” and get all the same results ### 1/5 — Nicht nutzbar *2023-08-04* Premium-Content gekauft. In der App als aktiv angezeigt. Wird alle paarSchritte als neu aktiviert gemeldet. Trotzdem wird der Content nicht angezeigt. Nicht nutzbar. Bitte um Erstattung! Danke ### 1/5 — Paid for premium and it doesn’t allow access *2023-07-02, version 3.3* I paid for premium content and while in Athens and every time I click on ‘premium’ it sends me a notice asking if I paid and I answer yes at which time it sends me back to the original page. Obviously needs work ### 1/5 — Leider schlecht *2022-06-19* Kannst die APP von früher… Links sind wenig und nicht aktuell. Alles in allem Mit dem Handy ist das suchen einfacher ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wiederentdeckt *2020-07-31* Ich war früher in den Zeiten von gedrucktem Papier Stammkunde von Spartacus. Letztens habe ich die App gefunden und bin sehr positiv überrascht. Gute Einträge, zusätzliche Inhalte sind gut verlinkt und das sogar für B-Schauplätze 😉 bin sehr froh, mit der App wieder einen ständigen Spartacus-Begleiter zu haben ### 5/5 — It's better *2019-04-08, version 3.2* Easy to use and a great community <3 ### 5/5 — Spartacus app very helpful *2019-04-08, version 3.2* I like the Spartacus app as it is very helpful for me to plan my trips. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2019-04-05* I think this app is really good. Has a lot of options and features and is still easy to use. Suggested highlights and tours, information on sights including photos, sometimes short videos available. I am completely satisfied. ### 5/5 — Good in general terms *2019-04-05* The idea is good but there is potential for improvement. It would be really good if you could add personal POI. Without it, you are likely to have to use different apps still. ### 5/5 — Great app all over *2019-03-25* This app is really great all over. For me a very good addition to a printed travel guide. It is also useful that you can save your searches and personalise the results in a list. This way you don't have to smudge a printed copy but can just save the highlights by one click. Very helpful that the app offers different languages. ### 5/5 — Better than imagined *2019-03-25* I really like this app and it is a lot better than I could imagine. It is comprehensive, easy to use and helpful to all that love to travel. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-03-20* Very useful app. Have used it on several trips to South East Asia and will keep doing so. The choice of restaurants is a bit odd at times and some places are just not listed although rather famous locally. The practical side of the app outweighs my concerns, though. ### 5/5 — Most helpful *2019-03-20, version 3.2* First used it for planning a trip to Barcelona. It is a definite plus that the app works offline as well. Sometimes the navigation for pedestrians lets to wish for, but that is a minor detail. Found very useful information of what to visit. Is a bit like the 'Want-to.go-there' list from Google Maps. Helpful. ### 5/5 — Just love it *2019-03-17* This app does exactly what you want. The search for information is easy and once you found it you can save it for later use. You won't miss any special places any more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
