Latest reviews of Bruges Offline Street Map app for iPhone and iPad
Marche très mal!
I was extremely disappointed in this app. Paying $4.99 for what is essentially a jpg imported into an app format is not good value. Bruges tourist facilities have dozens of very good FREE paper maps that have value added features. Yes, I know its paper and whats the point of having an iPod Touch if youre using a paper map, but the point is finding your way around and this app has absolutely nothing to it beyound a bare bones street map. Save yourself the $4.99 and download a free jpg map or pdf and place it in your Photos section on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Just like with their Brussels app, In reading the content in this app, we compared it to some wiki travel printouts and all of it was word for word from Wikitravel.org!!! Are the creators of this just taking info from folks who contribute to wiki travel and benefitting from it? Not to mention we were hoping for some original content...and, what are the standards for possible plagiarism from a wiki site? Map pinching to zoom does NOT work at all.
Great concept but cant control sizing on phone. Expands so you can read it, but positioning it where you want it doesnt happen. It reverts to full zoom out. Terrible app
