Very disappointed in app

I downloaded the Santa Fe walking trips and was disappointed. The historic walking tour did not include a number of historic churches and building but did include commercial establishments such as bars.
Adore this app!

I downloaded this app a few days ago, and started using it to plan a multi- city trip to Europe. Wow! I love this app - it makes planning super easy. I’ve been traveling far and wide, both professionally and personally, for years. I’ve planned complex trips, and know how overwhelming it can get. So many places to see in so little time, and so sometimes tough to determine which sights to see, and the best route to take when sights to visit are scattered all over a city. Well, this app makes all of this easy, and fun! Great descriptions and photos of all sights, which ones are “must see sights”, ability to add your own sights (like your hotel). The app determines the best route and how long it will take you. There are tons of wonderful canned walks based on categories like “city overview,” “ museums,” “architecture,” etc. and the ability to create customized walks. If you love to travel, this tool will become an addiction. I tried the free version and then decided to upgrade to the full version because the route creation aspect is fantastic.
Badly designed and limited content
Luhmann
The app crashes a lot and needs to reload nearly every time it is launched. Moreover, the content isn’t as good as what you might find on Wikipedia or a free travel blog. Too bad, because it would be nice to have a good app like this.
Transit info needed

Why not include an option for public transit? I chose the starting sight on the walk I created to get directions to it so I could start the walk. I was given the option of walking, driving or biking directions. I want to take the metro!
Great for Self-Guided Traveling!

I love this app! My family and I have been using it for years and it is our go-to travel app anytime we travel to a new city. We love walking around and this app is a great way to get oriented with a city or just see the highlights if you’re only in town a day or two. The number of cities with walking tours in this app is huge! Plus there are smaller towns with tours too. The maps are incredibly helpful and the upgraded version is more than worth it for the ability to create custom walks etc. I love being able to change the starting location and having the app order sights to make the best route from that location. To upgrade each city costs less than a paper map and this app provides way more information. All the sights they suggest stopping at have a little blurb about the sight, which we have always found interesting. We like the flexibility of walking at our own pace and skipping sights that aren’t as interesting to us without having to fast forward the app or any other hassle that some self-guided tours have. Plus you can track your progress in the city so if you deviate from the suggested walking path, it is easy to navigate back to the next sight. Over the years of using this app, I’ve experienced a couple small glitches, emailed their help desk, and received a helpful and friendly response within a day from a real person, not a robot!, and they’ve fixed the issues immediately. I can’t recommend this app highly enough. If you like to walk around cities on your own, this app is a great mix of planning ahead and playing it by ear.
Waste of time of money

This app keeps crashing and take so much time to get out. I can’t imagine the frustration during the walk and it doesn’t work. Wanted my $19.
Love this app!

This app has been so incredibly helpful in my trips abroad! My husband and I used it when in Estonia, France, England, Finland, and Sweden. It helped us save a lot of money and data! I can’t recommend more!
Pretty great

I spent hours trying to map out a plan for a certain city and wished that there was some sort of app that would let you select the sites you wished to see and then would organize it into the most logical order along with a map and directions for walking. Ask and ye shall receive. Someone pointed me to this app and it’s exactly what I needed. I love the custom walks and the flexibility within them to add in personal locations as starting points such as a hotel or train station and the also the ability to reorder the locations of the automated order could be improved.
