### 1/5 — Does not open

*2025-10-06*

Doesn’t open. At least using iOS 26

### 4/5 — Seems ok to me

*2024-07-30, version 4.1*

I’ve just installed this and it looks interesting. Not sure how up to date it is in terms of access. Going to find out…

### 5/5 — Get this App for exploring Lyon!

*2023-10-04*

We had a great day finding traboules all over Lyon. This app is really helpful, especially the street number in the information. What a special way to enjoy the city!

### 2/5 — Needs internet connection to do anything

*2015-07-28, version 4.1*

Content seemed ok, but it doesn't work at all without an internet connection, so it might as well just be on a web page.  No use if you are visiting from overseas and have data roaming switched off.

### 4/5 — Can’t wait to try it

*2015-05-31*

The app is interesting and easy to use. I haven’t been to Lyon yet - will go in July - so I’ll get to really test it then.

### 1/5 — Needs internet connection

*2014-04-25*

Really? Not even a static map without an internet connection?  Frustrating.

### 2/5 — Needs network connection

*2012-08-26, version 3.0*

App has some interesting content about the passageways that intersect streets of Lyon. Unfortunately for a foreign tourist, it relies on having a network connection, and with the costs of roaming 3G, that's something I don't turn on. So 5stars for content, minus 3 for not caching data on the device.

### 5/5 — Un vrai palisir...

*2010-10-06*

... de se promener dans Lyon avec Traboules. 

De se prendre au jeu et de se laisser guider à la 'serrure' suivante. Nous avons ainsi découvert milles merveilles que nous n'aurions autrement probablement jamais vues.

A quand les prochaines villes?
