This revolutionary application makes bus tours obsolete. You no longer need to hop on a tour bus or join a tour group; now you can explore all of the best attractions on your own, at your own pace, and at a cost that is only a fraction of what you would normally pay for a guided tour.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app gives you the option to turn off the GPS tracking in the background to prolong the battery life.

cant find airport
As a flight attendant I’m always looking for something to do on overnights. Usually doing scavenger hunts. I love getting out into the cities andExploring, learning history. GPSMYCITY is the easy to use.
Great and easy to use

This app had all the places I wanted to see in San Francisco with a short description of each. It was just what I wanted! I like walking around a city to get the feel and orient myself.
Very disappointed

Paid for the upgrade to walk the home tour in Palm Springs. Only 2 out of the first 5 addresses were accurate. We gave up after that.
Rome

Just want to thank the excellent support for fixing a problem. They are always very helpful and very professional.
Just ok. Not much history, descriptions read like ads

Pros: GPS was accurate. Liked the ability to choose your own stops or use a pre-planned route. Cons: The descriptions of historical sites were so brief and read like a mix of bad Wikipedia entries and ads for local businesses. No comparison to an actual tour guide. Very little history or context for the stops. Really disappointing. Stores were included as tour stops so I wondered if they paid to be included. The audio was a text reader, not great.
Great app

I found it helpful in New Orleans. Especially the Garden District. The pics helped.
Worthless

I purchased option 3 of the subscription choices in order to access the “walk” feature, but it was useless. The map didn’t show all the places mentioned in the article, as it said it would, only the one place I clicked on from the article. I was unable to set a starting place, save a place or add destinations. The app also said that I could tap a green pin for more information, but when I did this, nothing. No information about the place, or even the name. The map showed only one pin at a time when I linked a place from the article. If I returned to the article and clicked on another place, I could see that pin, but again, only that pin. Worthless.
Not good for Portland ME

I was trying to do a sock are you walking tour. I found that there was so little information here. Nothing really historical, you just really need to eat lobster or chowder. Nothing about the slave trade, the history of the area, fire that ruined the whole thing. I found it really useless
Solid app, very useful

Used this in a few cities now. Only pay as I go, but always glad I do. Good routes, good descriptions, gets the job done.
THIS APP IS GREAT!

I used this app to lead a tour of downtown Detroit. The app was easy to use and helped me to create an easy to follow route and include lots of fun and helpful information. For what you get the cost of the app is well worth it. Anyone who wants to take a self guided tour on vacation or lead friends through a tour of your own hometown like I did should have this app.
