### 1/5 — What the

*2013-08-01*

It doesn't do anything.

### 1/5 — Traveler lost

*2012-03-01*

Just does not work in Eastern Europe

### 3/5 — Chaos

*2011-07-31*

Does not list places according to distance. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Where's the logic? The equality?

*2010-03-21*

I don't understand how it lists things as in one category, the last listed item was the closest. Then they're sexist--as they list gentleman's clubs, but no female equivalent. Ultimately, not worth the space on your phone. Use the Internet.

### 5/5 — Local or world

*2009-09-28*

The best friend to travel with!

### 1/5 — It is worth what you paid!

*2009-08-31*

Another free App that is worth what I paid. It is a waste of memory though. A browser does the same thing. On the good side, it looks good and seems to work but don't waste your time.

### 5/5 — Great App! I have found some really cool listings!

*2009-08-29*

This travel app has given me a lot better listings than most of the other ones out there!

### 4/5 — Pretty slick, though database has errors

*2009-08-28*

Does a nice job of pulling up many different venues around your current location or a pre-stored location. I travel a lot and use google maps to look up things to do around my hotel. This app is much speedier producing locations based on it's existing categories. One caveat, the first category I looked at, "coffee", listed a store that had gone out of business several years ago. The rest of the entries looked valid, but this makes the reference database suspect. On the bright side, phone numbers are provided, so one can call ahead. Map function works nicely.

### 4/5 — Great app, could be better

*2009-08-26*

Would have got five stars, but as a Travel Mate I would like to know where the Banks and ATMs (Cashpoints) are!
