Don't buy it! *2017-02-21, version 3.0.42* Un timo, el mapa no se puede ampliar, no sirve para nada. Ademas, si la te la bajas, luego tienes que comprar cada mapa independientemente a precios abusivos, mapas que no sirven para nada! Me siento engañada! The map is so small that you can't read anithing. It's impossible to enlarge the map. Yo have to buy every map and guide, and it is very expensive. I feel i have been stolen!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Tries to charge you without permission *2016-12-14, version 3.0.42* When I tried to swipe where it seemed to want to me to swipe, suddenly I was asked for my thumb print and I realised it was trying to charge me! Appalling. Why does Apple allow this sort of scam on the App Store!? ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2016-11-26, version 3.0.41* When I first opened the app, I was instantly bombarded with alerts asking for all sorts of permissions and asking me to sign in with my Apple ID. Awful experience, instant uninstall. Avoid this app! ### 1/5 — Mr *2016-11-18, version 3.0.41* Terrible. How can anyone charge anything for such useless app. I regret paying for it. ### 1/5 — Don't download *2016-10-29, version 3.0.41* This is not a free app. You have to purchase the full version after the download to be of any use. ### 5/5 — Great app for travel *2016-09-28, version 3.0.41* One of the best Tokyo travel guides on the App Store! It shows awesome destinations and its easy to navigate with the gps map. ### 5/5 — amazing app *2016-09-28, version 3.0.41* This Tokyo travel guide is extremely helpful in my opinion. Stop carrying heavy city tours guide in your pocket. TRAVEL LIGHT!!! This tourist guide is built to be used offline. No connection to Internet required, meaning no extra charges in your phone bill!! ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2016-09-28, version 3.0.41* The Toyko travel guide app is pretty good for what you get. I dont know many guides that have augmented reality built in to help you ID landmarks. The interface is very well designed and very colorful. It was easy to use for me during my trip. I would recommend buying the full package to make this app even better. ### 5/5 — Useful travel guide app *2016-09-27, version 3.0.41* Tokyo Travel Guide and Offline City Map is useful and helpful app which is 100% offline travel guide.From this app we can see attractions with detailed tourist info.As well as it provides all the detail information about Nightlife, shopping mall,hotels, restaurants, places and many more.Also it provides detailed street and public transpotation maps too.Must try this app when visiting Tokyo city. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-09-02, version 3.0.57* Requires upgrade ($$$) to see anything useful. ### 1/5 — Tout est payant!!! *2018-05-03* Il ne s agit pas d une appli gratuite! Mieux vaudrait faire payer dès le début... **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 — tudo pago *2017-10-09* é tudo pago, nao da pra ver nada se vc nao pagar 4 doláres. **Developer response:** "Thank you for your feedback.

The app is extremely confusing and I didn't even mean to purchase it in the first place. It doesn't even seem to have any sort of visual directions from what I can tell after attempting to make sense of the app. ### 1/5 — Not useful at all *2017-08-07, version 3.0.51* This was a ripoff! It did not give good directions at all. Found some misspelled districts on the map. You are better off using google maps. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-07-26, version 3.0.51* This app is absolutely terrible! Not worth the money and there is no map of the metro! Do not buy! It is a scam!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2017-07-08* Can't use the maps without paying $3.99. This app is useless. ### 1/5 — Basura *2017-05-20, version 3.0.51* Pague por ella casi cinco euros y no vale para nada. No te marca las rutas ni te vale para no perderte o llegar algún lado. Lo dicho , un robo. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2017-05-05, version 3.0.48* The description sounds great, but once you open the app you have to pay for the use of the map. That was the main reason I downloaded the app. I've deleted it to use another app that has offline maps included for free ### 1/5 — Es un engaño *2017-03-06, version 3.0.42* Al intentar entrar en cualquier opción te pide desbloquear por 3,99€. Solo te da una pequeña información de algunos puntos de interés y encima es un copia pega de Wikipedia (comprobado) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — いい！ *2021-10-13* いいアプリ！ ### 5/5 — Beautiful Tokyo *2020-02-02, version 3.0.58* I have lived and travelled to many cities in the world but Tokyo is my number one city in the world. Clean, beautiful, organized, courteous people, simply the best. Will definitely visit again ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!! 😍 *2018-10-15* It talks about most of the experience i had when i was living in japan! Downloading it for future references! 💕 **Developer response:** Thank you very much.
