Would you like to see the scenes of Picasso’s Parisian life, or have a drink in the very same cafe where Hemingway wrote his best novels? Get to know the City of Light. Get lost in the maze of classy shopping arcades, admire the city’s world famous palaces and museums. We take you on an unforgettable journey where you don't have to concentrate on reading about the sights but can relax and listen to the narrated information. Got tired of sightseeing? Stop for a drink at the birthplace of Impressionism or try the world-famous French cuisine in a bistro or brasserie. PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, reveals the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in more than 100 major cities and tourist destinations. PocketGuide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: The GPS figures out where you are, and a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights. PocketGuide works offline, so you save on roaming charges, and it includes an offline map and loads of critical reviews that help you decide where to eat, drink and shop. We also have fascinating themed tours, for those who want to go off the beaten path. Find the top tapas in Barcelona, get chic in NYC’s East Village or follow the trail of a 19th century serial killer in London. Whether you're interested in the main sights or "the road less traveled", PocketGuide is ready to take you there. Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Paris Visit & Guide at 82% against Paris.'s 50%. Paris Visit & Guide also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Paris.'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Paris. sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Paris Visit & Guide sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paris. holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Paris.'s written reviews are positive against 82% of Paris Visit & Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paris. ships an update every 2 months, Paris Visit & Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
