Pros and cons of Istanbul Travel Guide (with Offline Maps) - mTrip app for iPhone and iPad

Istanbul Travel Guide (with Offline Maps) - mTrip app good for

I love this app its got all the landmarks where u could go its so easy to plan my vacation and no need to ask around

Very good for navigating, I would give a 5 but the automatic itinerary generation functionality should allow to keep track of already visited sites for easier regeneration. Also the ability to select a more accurate starting time other then morning or afternoon would be nice for this purpose.

This app has been a huge help to our trip in Istanbul. So much information is available without needing mobile data on my phone. One draw back is the mapping method... It had a tendency to point us in the long way to get to locales. So we ended up using a map. But still very useful for all things Istanbul.

I really appreciated the offline ability. Though the depth of information was not as good as my fellow travellers guide book. I would use it again for another city.

All u need in Istanbul, amazing offline map and information, Thank u

Some bad moments

I already have the apps for Rome and Venice and have used them to plan our upcoming trip. The Istanbul app came out just in time for us and looks to be every bit as good.

Needed to choose what to see when with time available, application was a great help. Navigation , walking from one to another was not perfect. Also using ferries was missing. Overall I would buy and use it again

Excellent guide if you want to completely see the city. Doesnt need Internet to properly work.

Worked really well in the better travelled areas but when you get out into some of the neighborhood, eg, around the Chora church, the maps get very sketchy. Love that it works offline since I have a touch. love that I can add venues and share so that the data gets better and better. Putting in addresses was a bit challenging since Turkish addresses follow different conventions and search sometimes had trouble in Istanbul. But sure beat a heavy book when in the more frequented areas. Supplements but does not replace a guide book for reference info.

The best feature for me was the offline map with GPS locator. I got lost several times, so that was a big help and did nut run up data charges. The rest of the content was helpful, too.

Perfect guide for our trip, the navigation capability is very helpful and is fun to track your steps while discovering the city! Would recommend to anyone!
