### 5/5 — Great Information

*2014-02-01, version 4.0.2*

Been fun learning about all Norway has to offer with this great app.

### 4/5 — Useful resource for planning a trip...

*2014-01-31, version 4.0.2*

Thank you for creating this resource. I found the site to be very helpful in planning for Norway so I had to try the app. I like the browsing by map feature and the sub categorization under each region. Some feedback: perhaps add a section that enables the user to explore visually based on stunning photos, and discover more hidden gems in Norway. That's my take as a UI/UX designer :)

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-07-02, version 4.0*

This is very helpful.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and Functional

*2013-06-29, version 4.0*

This app is awesome. It looks amazing, and works very well. Very helpful

### 5/5 — Wonder app

*2013-06-17, version 3.0*

Very well developed, helped plan for my visit to Norway in an easy and wonderful way!

### 5/5 — Go Norway!

*2013-06-02, version 3.0*

Good app.  Give it a go!

### 4/5 — Easy to use - great info

*2013-04-08, version 3.0*

Good all round app really simple yet clear & informative!

### 4/5 — Must have app when visiting Norway

*2013-03-19, version 3.0*

This is a great app to help you hit the ground running in Norway. The update does occasionally crash when I've used it back home in the USA. It didn't crash on me in Norway so I believe it's a GPS related issue bc the app is fixated on my last location in Oslo

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2012-11-25, version 2.0.1*

We've been using this App to look at things to do on our upcoming trip to Norway. The app has a wide range of things to do. The only thing that could be improved to help us is help with knowing the regions where the activities are.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-09-26, version 2.0.1*

I called from iran to reserve a table
I love this this app

### 5/5 — A great resource

*2012-09-21, version 2.0.1*

We traveled to Norway and used this app prior to put trip to help with bookings and find places of interest off the beaten path. A great resource and when coupled with the posts on Facebook it was better than any travel guide out there. We chased the Northern Lights following the posts!
A must if you are traveling in Norway.

### 1/5 — No record of wheelchair access

*2026-04-16, version 6.5.0*

This has been on my phone for all of 10 minutes and once I have finished this review, it’s coming off again. It would take so little effort to have put a toggle switch somewhere in the filters for “wheelchair accessible” like apps such as TripAdvisor, Booking and Expedia do. I thought perhaps that information would be in the listings but it isn’t. There is no point at all me looking at locations which I cannot even gain access to. I am better off returning to somewhere like TripAdvisor and using their website instead. It’s a real shame. The Scandinavians are supposed to be better than the rest of Northern Europe for access, but who would ever know, when this is the official government app?

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2025-03-22, version 6.2.1*

Only loads the first 12 activities out of 89.

### 1/5 — C

*2018-05-06, version 4.7.11*

Confusing app
Videos and photos would not load

Its asking to activate notifications and share your location

No way to copy or open place locations with Apple or google maps.

### 1/5 — Norway guide

*2015-03-15, version 4.4.1*

Tried to load this twice. It comes on with a full page of scenery. Then it goes to a half page with a black bar over part of the page. Seems to redirect to a web page by 'emediate' at which point it stalls. Will try again in the future.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-06-08, version 4.2.2*

I've never seen a worse travel guide!
     Since when is the alphabet the most useful way to organize cultural information? For example, if you want to discover the most important art museums in Oslo, and didn't already know there is an incomparable museum of Munch's work, you'd very likely miss it altogether, buried as it is among a jumble of miscellaneous venues.
     Or if you want to plan ahead, to discover what events will be on in two months, or even next month, the listings cover only a few days.

### 1/5 — Update broke it

*2014-03-09, version 4.2*

Crashes every time I open it. 

Back when it worked, it was good. But I wish you could narrow results by location and not have to select categories after "where to stay"

### 1/5 — Please be honest:  fix issues with 3.1.3 or change requirements listing

*2011-04-09, version 2.0*

Several members of my family are looking forward to visiting Norway this summer and we thought this app looked like a great tool.  Unfortunately,  it quits on startup every time, never going past the picture of the Preikestolen.  

Consulting the support page on Facebook it is clear that users in Norway also have this problem, especially if, like us, they are using iOS 3.1.3.  The developers are aware of this but can only recommend that we upgrade to iOS 4.x.  This does not help, the devices my family uses are not upgradeable beyond iOS 3.1.3.

If the developers wish to say that this app is only supported for iOS 4.x then they should change the listing to say so.  If not, they should be clear that they are trying to find a fix for this in 2.0 and/or make version 1.0 available.

### 2/5 — Might as well use TripAdvisor

*2024-04-28, version 6.2.1*

As far as I can tell this is just TripAdvisor because everything is sourced from TripAdvisor, so might as well just use TripAdvisor.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2014-07-12, version 4.2.2*

Data needs organising better. Nowhere to filter for accessible locations only.  If you are disabled you need that filter at the highest level  as it applies to all 
subsequent queries.

### 4/5 — Very helpful

*2015-02-04, version 4.4.1*

A bit clunky in how the app functions but overall the content is fantastic and very helpful in planning our Scandinavian adventure!

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2019-07-01, version 4.7.11*

Just found this when planning out trip to Norway. Exactly what we needed, very impressed so far. One small this is the url links do not always work, have to re boot the iPad

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2016-03-19, version 4.6.2*

Incredible app. Other designers should learn from its ease of use and great graphics. 

I am planning a trip and it is invaluable. Loads of information and suggested maps and routes.

### 5/5 — Attractive

*2015-01-27, version 4.4.1*

It is well constructed app. With neat design. The different areas in the program are orderly organized. I will use it for my trip to Norway soon.

### 5/5 — Fantastisk

*2014-09-25, version 4.3.1*

This app helped plan our recent trip to Norway. I can't wait to go back!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-08-23, version 4.3.1*

We travelled in Norway for two weeks and this app was a godsend-especially since we were always changing our plans.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-08-23, version 4.3.1*

Very useful during our Norway visit!

### 5/5 — Brilliant for Norway travels!

*2014-06-30, version 4.2.2*

Good app with sights, sleeping, activities and more, recommended!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic

*2014-06-05, version 4.2.2*

I've just started planning a trip to Oslo and the app is coming in so handy! It's really easy to use and all the information is nice and clear :)
Only lacks prices for some attractions but there's always a link to the website so not really an issue :)

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-03-14, version 4.2.01*

A great application if you are considering Norway as your next destination!

### 5/5 — Every country needs this!

*2014-02-02, version 4.0.2*

Awesome work Norway! If only every country was as proactive and organised as this, as far as apps go it is functional, engaging, scenic, informative and so easy to navigate. But as far as travel apps go it is all that and more! From an Australian lost in Norway :)
