Fodor’s City Guides App Reviews

A comprehensive quick reference guide for travellers, easy to use, with the type of information that I have generally found in the Fodor books, but now more portable. Look forward to more cities being added.

evrything you need to know about the city you are visiting. great apps 5 stars

Needs a few more cities around Asia and Europe

Although this app only has about a dozen cities (mostly from Europe and North America) the information they do provide is awesome! I like having all the info in one app,such as subway map, itineraries, weather etc. They setup is also perfect. When you download the app, you them get to individually download each city guide as you wish..meaning that you can view the already downloaded city guides without wifi or Internet at any time. Already used the app for a recent weekend getaway to Montreal and it has been imperative in planning for an upcoming trip to Europe.

I love this app. Its very complete with lots of cities and more being added all the time. Very handy thing to have in your pocket. Keep the cities coming!

Sadly, it only shows me the cities available to choose then immediately kicks me out. Hardly useful.

I would love to delve deeper into the app, but every time it loads thief information for a specific city it close. Please fix it...I think this app would be awesome to use.

I too can only imagine what the content actually is. I just get a brief look at the city listing then its gone

Keeps shutting down with my itouch

My two biggest issues with this app is 1) when you update the app, your downloaded cities and your favourite places get deleted. It takes forever to try and find them again and its almost not worth it. 2) there are waaaaay too many cities in the States. Big cities in other countries (none for Asia, and only a handful of European) are rarely included so far. Some minor things that I think could be improved is potentially allowing the maps to be a little more integrative. The guides focus primarily on the downtowns for the featured locations. Otherwise, this is a great app that gives the user an amazing amount of information about a city.

I tried using this app while traveling, but it was so long and complicated to access the info that I simply relied on a good old paper guide.

I love this app! Its straight to the point, informative and a pleasure to read. I like the fact one can suggest a place and it show up in the app!

I downloaded this app for $11.99 and it has almost no content. They want to up sell you for another $9.99 for the city guides. The online booking tool had mediocre content. TripAdvisor and Yelp are free with better quality content. Really disappointing.

Only 15 or so cities to be viewed. Want you to pay 9.99 more, for god knows what. No content. Terrible value. Want my money back

You really must allow international settings for distance, temperature and date/time formats. No need to reinvent the wheel; just pick them up from the device settings.

These are great- sure you have to do the in-app purchase so you dont get much for free but once you buy the guides youre in business. You can get all the guides for under $10 which is a way better deal than any book which is what I used to use for trips. This was great to have on my last trip and I love having the other guides so I can keep dreaming about future trips!! :)

I love travel guides. I truly love digital travel guides. The reason I love digital travel guides is because they can be kept up to date. I have many paper Fador guides love them, so I was excited about the digital version. I am planning a trip to Vegas, I was very disappointed with the fact that the guide is at least 2 probably 3 or more years behind. They talk of things to see that are no longer there, eg. Sirens, Garth brooks etc. There is no mention of the high roller or the mob museum etc. I can only speak for The Vegas Guide but not good. If it was more up to date this would be outstanding.

Not user friendly. Should be able to put your own cities in and than I could use it. Not worth the money.

Perhaps my expectations for a paid app was simply too high, but I found the amount of information available simply disappointing compared to Fordors printed book. Most of the info was freely available from other free apps I had. Nothing very in depth.

Very well done. We wait for new city.
