Wow! This is the one travel app to rule them all. It lists attractions, hotels, shopping, restaurants in each covered city. More importantly it builds automated itineraries for each day of a trip based on traveler interests, hotel and location of sights. This can be done manually. Everything can be shown on a map with walking or public transport directions. Add in augmented reality using the iPhone camera and full offline use of GPS and an amazing app results. A few issues:
1. App crashes about once in every 10 times I add an attraction. But it does save reliably.
2. No way to email, download or print my trip details. Thats ok if I can trust the app but I dont want to spend hours entering a complex multiday trip and them lose it all. Not happened yet but makes me anxious.
3. When I zoom in on the map I can sometimes control what icons show (in the navigation pane), but sometimes not (in the itinerary pane). Also if I view a stop and then go back to the map in itinerary I lose where I had zoomed to.
4. We need more details and color on attractions, shopping, restaurants. The descriptions are skimpy in places.
5. Ultimately it would be nice if the app suggested restaurants too.
6. Be nice to add the ability to make a journal with pics and text with where you visit.
Cant wait for the updates and new cities.
