Reviews
Greatness
Beijing Tourer
So much better than the Lonely Planet app. The GPS easily finds you and offers (extensive) info on the sights you're seeing.
Useless
Jays1970
Worst 6 bucks spent. App does not build an itinerary with attractions close to each other. Builds random stuff also when you click fill in the blanks, it only fills some. Is not integrated with public transportation so it only shows you how to walk for 2 hrs. Worst of all is it doesn't build a sensible itinerary because it uses current location and all attractions are pretty much the same distance from where I am now, home trying to plan.
Few Chinese characters + no tone marks
User of previous versions
There are no tone marks on the pinyin transliterations and many entries have no Chinese characters for the name of the place. Not very helpful in getting a cab.
Useful

It needs to add more locations. Good info on the ones it has. Best offline map of Beijing I have seen!
Great app

I have spent 4 days in Beijing so far. I speak no Chinese at and I have walked through the city and visited all the major attractions just using this guide. It is not perfect but it is very useful and a very good value for 5.99 it does have a lot of room to improve but just the offline maps feature is well worth the money. The map together with the gps chip on the iPhone and I did not get lost once.
Helpful app for directions and visiting objectives
Fbailer
It was easy to get to places using this app because it told you how to get there, whcih metro station to get off to. I give it 4 stars only because it would crash sometimes when using the gps, and the gps sometimes was not 100% accurate, but we couldn't have done the beijing trip without the app. I did our itinerary using the app and grouped the objectives by distance. I would buy the app again in a heartbeat. Now when i travel I look for mtrip apps!
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
JCAG2123
I visited Beijing for a week and used mTrip. Unfortunately the guide fails in providing a map showing small streets in addition to the main ones. Street names is depicted in too small size and when you magnify the map, street names become smaller. Big mistake, line 4 of subway in an important extension the subway stations have a wrong name, inadmissible. Worse, I walked mills after visiting the Yonghe Temple, going for lunch, the street for the nearest restaurant recommended did not correspond. Then walking again, the second restaurant recommended, Gingko, there is no exist anymore, if there ever was¡¡I summary the guide has a good inspiration, especially working off line but need urgent improving.
Almost perfect
Dr. Planet
This is a great app with lots of good info and offline maps and a subway map. Unfortunately, my hotel, Sunworld Dynasty, is mislocated on the map by about a block. This resulted in a call to the hotel from the cab to locate the hotel. Not a disaster, but there probably are other similar small errors in the map. Just relax and remember: traveling is an adventure!
