Latest reviews of Paris: Wallpaper* City Guide app for iPhone and iPad
I like the idea, I like Rolex watches. But it is visible that you just rushed the apps out. Take time to have you articles reread by a Parisian and, above all the PHONE NUMBER FORMAT is not correct. 01 or 0X is missing at the beginning: makes them perfectly USELESS. Give me a GMT master 2 and I do it for you. Perfectly.
For 3 bucks id hope it would have at least louvre and eiffel tower Dont spend money on it
This app is a total waste of money! It doesnt give you any new or "cool" unknown destinations as it promises, but to the usual tourist traps every other guide book would send you. Very disappointing.
Dont purchase this app for $5.99! It contains absolutely nothing you cant find in basic websites on Google or any other search engine. The front page looks slick and is soooo disceiving!
I had read several websites recommending the Wallpaper Cityguide apps so I tried the Paris one. I can only conclude that these websites are paid for by Wallpaper or that the other Wallpaper Cityguides are magnitudes better because the Paris one is atrocious. Almost any free guide to Paris has more content than this one. There are about 10 categories of sites and attractions and each has only a few. The landmarks section has only four - FOUR! - recommendations. I could have listed more than four before I had ever gone to Paris. Almost anyone could. The architectural section also has only four. And the hotels section has only five. Itll be a long time before I risk any more money on a Wallpaper Cityguide app. If there were a way to give this zero stars, I would.
