Reviews
Great content but could be better for the $9.99 price point
I got the Istanbul guide and really like the content on the app but one thing that I really wish is that it had more images or at least integration to go google maps. When looking at the restaurant recommendation it is really difficult to know details such as ambiance, type of food, hours of operation or if a reservation is needed without seeing more details and I find myself flipping back and forth between the app and google maps. The same feedback applies to all other aspects of the guide.
Eclectic choices with nice range of price points
Title says it all. Each city is its own purchase within the app.. the biggest downside is each update is the same price as a new city .
Complete waste of time
LV should just stick to bags. Seriously. It’s unintuitive and the information is no better than Google.
Almost completely useless
This is probably the most useless app I’ve ever purchased. Every information on it can be found elsewhere and it’s really little information for $8.
My favorite travel guide
I didn’t really think I’d find this useful—i figured I’m not generally the LV target market—but many of my favorite experiences in Seoul last year came from recommendations in the app. Many guides are overwhelming; this one gives a nicely curated list, and a nice range. I found suggestions when I was feeling fancy; or when I wanted something peaceful. I’m already excited about several of the items in the Tokyo guide, and I’ll be revisiting some of the ones I missed in Seoul. My only slight critique: items on the walking tours are not on the master list. I’d like to be able to bookmark some of them.
Not worthy of the LV branding
First of all this app is constantly crashing. The text only guide needs a better interface and maps that work in real time.
Horrible. Constant problems updating.
See title. Good content, delivered terribly. Too much sizzle and not enough solid app behavior.
Nice guide
Found the paper version first, then the app. Since an iOS update, I simply get a blank screen when opening the city guide page. Very disappointed.
City guides gone after purchase
After purchasing several city guides over the last year they are suddenly gone and I need to pay full price again to reaccess. What a rip.
Text left in French and typos
The guides are essential but good. However there is a very weak point: for $8.99 you cannot slack leaving text in French and not running a spellcheck in the content. In the Rome guide, for example, the Colosseum (Colosseo) is left in French (Colisee) and many other titles. The Barcaccia (means ugly boat in Italian) is misspelled as “Barbaccia” (ugly beard). Your guides should be built with the same standards as your expensive bags.
