Best $5.99 I ever spend
Talking about the Barcelona guide: At the cost of a bottle of wine this guide will supply you with a wealth of information. Just the mtrip genius alone is worth the money. You choose what you want to see, and how fast you are on foot or if you intend to rent a bike which is available everywhere and lets you cover way more attractions. Barcelona is extremely pedestrian and bike friendly. I just arrived in Barcelona and the information I collected thru m-trip before I even got here (hint: use the my favorites button) has already made my day. I already have accessed this info repeatedly on my non 3G I-Pad because you CAN run this app without access to the cloud or free WiFi the latter of which is not common here, finding my way from the bus stop to the hotel.
And by the way, of course you get a brief history summary, the hours of operation and cost of entry fees to name a few more benefits.
I didnt even have time yet to play with the augumented reality feature. So if you have time to play its included in the $5.99 as well.
Always have mtrip at least as a backup. Did I mention that a map of the city is part of the deal. Be without mtrip next time on your own risk.
