Latest reviews of Jerusalem Map & Walks (F) app for iPhone and iPad
I bought this app to do a self-guided tour of the old city. I was attracted by this app not needing a live data connection for it to work. In the end, I found it very difficult to actually navigate with the app. It was not able to offer a map at a usable level of resolution to navigate. I expected a map with the same level of street detail as Google maps, which this does not have. I tried a section of the walking tour but found it difficult to use the app to follow a path due to lack of resolution, it was easier to use a paper map instead. The main use for the app was to quickly identify what sights are nearby so I could decide on what to see next. Essentially I used it to locate myself and plan the next stop which I then navigated by my paper map. Semi-useful, and really not worth the price being charged.
No street-level detail of any value. Useless.
Should have paid more attention to previous reviews. I wanted an app for Israel that did not require a data connection. The map quality for the walks is poor and all of the street names are in Hebrew. Contains some information about the sights on the walks but nothing that is not in other guidebooks I have.
The info on this app is ok yet when u go to use it the entire map and street names are in Hebrew! I am not able to read Hebrew and Im sure most of us traveling cant either. This makes this app nearly useless for the average traveler. If there is a way to change the map to English its hard to find cuz Ive looked for a long time. I would not use this or buy it again. I even uploaded the detailed map and still no options
I downloaded the full version for more money so I could get detailed maps of the old city. The free version and the expensive version are no different. Very disappointing.
