Latest reviews of Athens Map & Walks (F) app for iPhone and iPad
I was waiting for more information, details about the tours and principal attractions and a better map with the name of all streets. The GPS even in the full version doesnt work as promised.
The map of Athens I paid for along with the CityWalk app is exclusively in Greek--script and language. How I am supposed to coordinate that with the anglicized street names in the city walks is not clear. The sellers of the app answered my request for English or a refund with a terse and simple refusal. It remains to be seen whether Ill be able to use the map. Be aware that you need to be bilingual to use this companys maps.
Bought the full version after trying the Lite version. Feature list looks really good. Seems like a great idea. However, as soon as anything with maps or pulling up a list of search items (e.g. "cafe"), the app crashed. Every time. Closing EVERY app didnt help. Not good. Especially as I parted with money.
It crashes after showing the splashscreen on Iphone 3G 3.0. Please give my money back!
