Latest reviews of Paris Map & Walks (F) app for iPhone and iPad
No metro references, poor map, bad resolution! Stay away from it!
I was very excited by the ease to use the app. Started planning my week in Paris. Added custom locations. Spent several hours planning a week of sight-seeing walks in Paris and now the app wont backup and save. It keeps locking up. Appears nothing I can do but delete and reload the app! My fear is I will lose all my work! Frustrating!
Much as I wish I could , I am unable to write about this app because it is designed only for use by the i phone not the i touch. So, if you have an i phone you might very well have a wonderful app. Ill hold my breath and hope this app is updated for use with the i touch.
great app. has lots of interesting tours and shows you the spots on the map. tells you how long (approx) it will take to complete.
I think the ideas for the walks are great, but the directions are mediocre and the map has many bugs. For example, when you zoom in or out on the map it increases the size of the walking path line not the actual map. This app is not worth $4.99 by any stretch of the imagination.
