This app once fully downloaded allows you to use rough gps without cellular data. Actually pretty accurate. I also love the format and the articles that are downloaded.
Includes almost nothing that you can do directly and almost everything is guided tours, limited selection of activities and places to go. Offline maps is nice idea but both apple and google maps offer download maps that include more.
The application is amazing. Very easy to use and very informative. It helped me in my visit to Berlin in a way that I was able to organize every place I visited. It is linked with google maps and iPhone maps. Great pictures.
Usually don't rate apps but after a trip to Europe using this offline maps, I can asure you, this app will make your trip easier and you won't miss any important spot in the city. I used London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon! In Budapest I felt lost because they don't have a map for this city but Google also doesn't have a map for Budapest offline. I'll put 6 stars but I can't so 5 it's the closest. One more thing, all this is for FREE! And this is not all, also you can download the information about the historic places in the city and then you can get the info offline. You have to try it!!
No more trying to figure out where you are on a big clumsy map, blowing in the wind and ripping wet in the rain. I've used the maps from this company for several cities so far and it's like discovering the convenience of smart phones all over. Enter and mark all the places you want to go in the city, and plan much easier and faster knowing where it all is in relation. Easily walk to your destination without relying so much on taxis, public transportation and locals who don't know either. How did I travel before Ulmon Maps?
Used the free version in Berlin and it had all the features I needed. In fact, deleted other Apps I had downloaded since I never used them. The best feature was the ability to track my preferred places to visit on the map which also gave me thumbnail reviews of each place.
I used Ulmon's Rome app a couple of years ago (called Rome2Go) and found it very useful. Since then they seem to have rebranded and redesigned their city guides, and this year I tried to use Berlin and Prague, and didn't find them as useful. It has an offline city map, which is extremely useful. I think that the old versions had a list of popular attractions in the cities, which the new version is missing. You really need some recommendations in a city like Berlin - the list of things to do is much too long. The app has the ability to rate the attractions, but nobody has submitted ratings, so that feature is not helpful at this point.
As others have said, this, and other travel apps by this developer need public transportation maps, specifically U-bahn and S-Bahn maps. Bus maps would be great too, but not needed as much by most travelers. also, I've found that the GPS 'direction' is usually off by 90° or so. When facing north on a street, the 'scope' of the GPS claims I'm facing west. Or east. Or somewhere other than I'm pointing. Not a huge issue unless you're lost in the woods, but ... Also, the POI buttons that pop up are often slow to respond and/or don't respond at all. The subway/tram/sbahn/bus stops don't even list what line they're on, let alone where they go. Not really useful unless you just need *somewhere* to get away from where you are. Also, the icon for a subway stop is just a square. not so helpful, either, since the map is otherwise pretty full of icons that represent what they are supposed to. Better than nothing, but could be improved.
I love it. So easy to use and has everything you need to know about berlin from sites to visit to places to have an amazing german gastronomic experience. And the offline map is a huge plus. I fell in love with berlin before i even go thanks to this great app.
I didn't buy a data plan for Europe so I was happily surprised by everything this app could do offline: locate where you were, give directions and show you the Wikipedia entry for landmarks. It met all my needs.
High recommend - great offline map, knows where you are, points in right direction, knows almost everything about the city! I got around without looking like a lost tourist.
We have been traveling throughout Europe and in all the major cities like London, Paris and Berlin, this maps performed just excellent. I would recommend them to everyone.
It was a bit disappointing. Te map was good but the guide didn't often work. I was looking forward to just being able to use the iPad more or less by itself, but there was no subway map, and the guide didn't often work. When I had wifi, google maps was much more helpful.
The best brand of apps for travelers! All functionality works on airplane mode (without wifi or cellular connections) which is incredibly helpful for the cost conscious traveler. Couldn't be happier with this hidden gem!
It's great to have this map downloaded so I'm not burning megabytes while traveling abroad. It shows you where you are and what direction you're facing. Very handy.
Really cool app for the city when you have no internet. Don't forget to download the wiki guide. Helped us a lot when we were there and biking around town. Thanks.
If you don't have internet available the offline package is great. Good pictures and descriptions and easy to find things near by and far away. Get the Berlin transit app too
I haven't rated any app in ages. I would be totally lost in Berlin without this app. It's great! I definitely recommend you this app If you go to Berlin.
This app has cut down on the time I spent planning and struggling to get on Wi-Fi abroad, so I could navigate effortlessly! It has no transit planner, but combined with Berlin's BVG transit app or Google Maps it's all you need.
The information in the free version is almost nonexistent. There were only two food related stories and one other one. The offline map could have been fine, but once I looked at on of the aforementioned info stories I couldn't get back to the map.
I had hoped for more. Would be good if you could enter an address and see it on the map. Also since subways and trains are so plentiful - a map and the ability to enter an address and get the shortest train routes to there would be really good. Teh descriptions are from wikipedia - not really focused on tourism per se. I would pay $5 for something that had more complete feature set. This was mildly helpful.
Without a map of the u-bahn, s-bahn etc lines (compare with London2Go, which has a Tube Map as well as the city map) this app is basically pointless. Total waste of $2.
