Awesome app... Got all info abt European cities and east to travel without any hiccups

Useful offline GPS maps in side alleys and aboard vaporettos of Venice. We used this app to get around in Venice on a recent weekend trip. We found the off line map with GPS to be very useful -- especially in Venice because you can get turned around so easily in the small winding side alleys. Even though it doesn't calculate turns from point A to B, we were easily able to find the shortest way to get from place to place when we were walking and we used it when we were on the vaporetto (boat-bus) to see where the lines went. The vaporetto lines could have been less faint on the maps -- it was sometimes hard to see where each line went, but once we were aboard, we used the app to see where we were and which direction we were going! On our last day, there was a vaporetto strike and we used the GPS map to guide our walk to Piazzale Roma before dawn to catch an airport bus out of town. This app made our trip more enjoyable and I would recommend it.

Great navigation tool. By any standard, Venice is a difficult city to navigate, but is a great city to get lost in. This app WAS the difference between being "hopelessly lost" and "pleasantly lost". Highly recommend for first time visitors to Venice.

Not my Venice. This app is not very useful - while in Venice recently, I tried several times to find things and places. Didn't do a very good job. I ended up using a small Lonely Planet map, which was much more useful. I have tried a number of city apps, and have not found one that gave me much of anything. Maybe a city guide is just not meant to be an app.

Great app. There are a few things missing for the map for example my hotel but great for finding all the sites

Great app!. Offline features are great when we don’t have internet overseas!

Great tool. Using for planning trip thanks so much

Love Ulmon City Apps. So nice to have an offline map and info for places where data use is pricey. My only complaint is the difficulty of navigating through the app. Wish there was a ‘back’ button on each page.

Love this App. Venice is maze like no other city in the world. This app gets you through it. I love this app. It works great when the phone was off line so it didn't use any of my limited cellular data budget. Accurate and user friendly. Used Ulmon maps in three cities with equally good results in each

Would be lost without it. This was one of the best and most useful apps I have ever used. I did not want to carry one of those huge bulky maps in Venice so decided to use the offline map for my trip. This thing was my bible, it shows direction of traffic so you know if your going the right way, has great suggestions for places to see and eat, and has a map of the metro. The offline function still is able to triangulate your location and direction you are facing and walking so it is impossible to get lost with this app. Best part about it is if you set a marker on the map, even without gps you can easily see how you are walking to the set marker. I can only imagine that this app would be even more amazing if I decided to use it online. Really can't imagine it getting better then this app, not one thing I would change about it.

You'll still get lost in Venice. But at least youll find your way somehow with this app. I used this app many times on my trip to Europe and highly recommend it as you get a city map,

Very helpful. Although the compass/searchlight feature was not always reliable. (This is undoubtedly due to the compass on the iPhone 5, certainly not the fault of the software.)

Made my trip stress free!!. I downloaded the Ulmon app for each city I visited in Italy. It was indispensable!! All information was available offline & I could never be truly lost because of the location feature. The Rome app included transit maps; I wish the Florence & Venice apps included the same. Other than that oversight, they were perfect!

WorkedGreat. I down loaded this befor my trip, and was lucky I had. Was off line most of the time while walking around the city. If it wasn't for this app I would still be walking the streets trying to find my way. The city has very poor signs and this was a wonder aid for me to use OFF LINE. Thanks.

Very helpful. Staying in venice for a month and finding this app extremely useful. No one map is perfect, but this one, in conjunction with the removable map from the Eyewitness Venice guidebook, has been valuable. I'd recommend it to anyone trying to plan their sightseeing itineraries.

Awesome offline guidance. I'm in Venice right now and this has been invaluable! Map works offline and includes info links for many, many local places. Works equally well on iPhone and iPad 2. Every single bridge and museum is in it. All the squares and alleys are labeled as far as I can tell. Just wish they had Florence for next leg of trip!

Great app.. Used it everyday while in Venice. It does rely on having a network connection which I was able to acquire with an AT&T data plan. Worked even out on the water. I like that you can pick a category and see all the options near you. I have to figure out how to add a location to the data base.

Love this. I love this app and we haven't traveled yet. I am able to see all the places we want to go. It will help plan what to do at sites that are together. I even found some new sites based on the articles!! I wasn't thrilled with the upgrade. Maps looked different so I downloaded the app for the individual cities. Rome, Venice and Paris.

This app doesn't even work. I downloaded this app last night to use as a guide for today's trip to Venice. When I opened it today in Venice to locate my location, it talks for ever to locating my position. So I closed it to reopen it, but this time it can't load the whole map. DON'T bother to buy this app, buy a REAL map and ask people around you for location if you don't know where you are exactly.

Scam. I registered and verified my email address and does not recognise it. No intention to share more private information, by registering another address. Scam!!!

I like this app. The "nearby" feature is great, one click and you find something around the corner you might have missed. And yes the info is wikipedia, but it's quick access. I love it and the Rome one too.

PS 176. Absolutely the best city guide and route map you will ever use, I intend to use when walking driving, or boating (around Venice). Site information covers both history and daily needs . Easy to use,you won't need any other references.

Greatly helped our ability to see sites. We took a family vacation with ages of kids ranging from 3-22 and this application helped us get around and schedule across our broad interests.

Get it!. Get it, don't hesitate another second! It was a life saver on our trip and helped us enjoy our vacation without getting frustrated with Venice's labyrinth. All the streets there look so beautiful and so alike that I think Venice is nearly impossible to navigate with a paper map - it's extremely confusing. This app can save your vacation!

Easy to use, nice features. This app is very easy to use, and the list feature helps build and organize trips. We lost one day in Venice, but I was able to use my list and the map to adjust ur trip and get the most out of the day we had. The Wikipedia functions are ok, but I got great value by combining with my Fodor's guide.

Best Venice App. Spent a week in Venice staying in an apartment. Needed a good offline map and information about sights, and the Ulmon Venice information was spot on, used it more than any other Venice app on the trip.

Excellent. Navigation in this magical city made easy with this app.

Excellent. The app worked great points of intest,churches all found easy

Wonderful!. I wrote a "disappointing " review quite awhile ago. I've changed my mind completely!! I used it to research for a recent trip to Venice. I found places I wanted to see outside the typical tourist areas, and I used it as reference on my phone for directions, etc (one important thing - directions to our hotel!!!).

Venice travel. PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL VENICE WITHOUT THIS APP. I cannot thank this app enough to make my Venice trip so smooth . It is your walking GPS for Venice , it took away the tension of getting lost in Venice lanes. Must download the maps on your iPhone.

Travel. We’re going to Venice this summer and I’m hoping the offline map will help. My understanding is that everyone gets lost in Venice! Wish me luck! If I can remember I’ll write another review when I return.

Extremely useful. So very extremely useful app, was invaluable on our trip. Highly recommended.

The best offline map. I used this app consistently for a month while staying in Venice and it did a great job of helping me to orient myself and navigate a complex city. It’s not perfect (hence the 4 stars), but it is better than any other offline map that I tried for comparison and it is far better than trying to get around Venice with an unwieldy foldout paper map that cannot tell you where you actually are.

Venice Ulmon awesome. The fact that I could download the map to my phone ahead of time was perfect as I did not have international service. I could still use my Venice Ulmon whenever I wanted and not need wifi or to carry a paper map. The direction of travel arrow is also very helpful.

Great for Travelers. Very helpful !!

A life saver. Usually don't rate apps but after a trip to Europe using this offline maps, I can asure you, this app will make your trip easier and you won't miss any important spot in the city. I used London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon! In Budapest I felt lost because they don't have a map for this city but Google also doesn't have a map for Budapest offline. I'll put 6 stars but I can't so 5 it's the closest. One more thing, all this is for FREE! And this is not all, also you can download the information about the historic places in the city and then you can get the info offline. You have to try it!!

Love this app. I like that I can save places I want to visit-share it with everyone. Love it

Perfect. The best application to use in Venezia

Your own personal tour guide for Venice!. Excellent offline app with accurate GPS to tour Venice - we never got lost! Great recommendation for restaurants and attractions! Have been downloading this app for every destination that we have traveled to!

A Must Have for Venice. So glad to have heard about this app. Made finding our hotel a snap. Can't imagine navigating these streets without it. Highly recommend.

Ok app-Worked as described. This app was ok. It worked as described, and best of all it worked offline. However, if you have a Garmin GPS, you would be much better served to spend the $10 on a City Map that would give you turn-by-turn routing and distances. There was a lot of jumpiness of position, but that was not because of the app, rather it was the unstable nature of the iPhone positioning.

Great help without needing to be online. Thanks

This app saved me!. I anticipated being able to connect to wifi more often than I actually did, and many times the wifi that was available was extremely slow! Having this map saved me over and over again when I was lost in the streets of Venice- which even locals admit to! Cell service is not cheap anymore, costing $10/day per phone (with AT&T) so it was great to be able to save points of interest before my trip then have the ability to find it with the offline map!

Handy App!. I refer to it often.

Another awesome map from Ulmon. Spending time in Venice we would have been completely lost without this map. Accurate, interest point details, GPS, and other features make this map a must have if traveling to Venice.

Good start. This app seems quite comprehensive. Has travel wiki info plus an interactive map as well as a directory of hotels, restaurants architecture etc. It could be easily improved, and i am just figuring the app out, by having a overlay on the map of each of the different types of places of interest. It's all there but it does take some figuring. A couple of other issues. The listing of sites in various categories seems random. Not alphabetical, not by geography. Simple a long list of names. Needs better organization. Hopefully will be updated at some point. A guide book with organization seems a better bet for now.

Stable/easy to use/uses no data. I love this app. It downloads all of the map/points of interest data to your phone so you don't have to use your data when traveling. It uses the GPS in your phone, so can give great walking directions. You can also store the waypoints that are important to you. :-)

Waste of Money = Worthless. Do not buy this app. The information can all be found on Wiki. The map is horrible and has no definition or names. Venice is, honestly, one of the most difficult cities in the world to navigate, and this app makes it even more frustrating. I ended up deleting this app during my trip because it made me mad just seeing it on my phone. On the same trip we went to Paris, and the Paris 2Go app is much better. Again, I think the information provided in the app is worthless, but at least the map in the Paris version is usable. Would love to have my money back on this one. Even if it were free I would advise you not to download this one.

Better than offline Google maps. Venice is a walking city. Google maps does not support those on foot and lacks detail. This was a great app to get us around the city.

Slight disappointment. This app isn't as good as Ulmon's Rome map because the information isn't as comprehensive. In the Rome app, any restaurant or site you search for will show up. But in Venice, we tried to find multiple places that were not in this app. The map is still good, but the search for Venice is lacking.

Great travel aid. Being able to use offline makes this app amazing

Great app. The map is fantastic. Love it.

Ms. Superb! Easy to use and very informative thank you!

Our favourite travel companion. We’ve used the app for some years and best thing is when you pin your hotel or cruise ship terminal you can always get back. Anywhere, anytime. Brilliant!

Not up to usual standard. I have used "Paris 2Go" and "Rome 2Go" and found them both very useful. In particular their offline maps have been invaluable for navigating the back alleys and winding streets of these cities. Unfortunately the map provided with this version of Venice 2Go (3.0.4) is next to useless as most streets, alleys etc. are completely unnamed. It is shame that this app let's down the reputation of the brand.

Excellent map. These Ulmon apps have been perfect for navigating around unknown towns. It has made trips very efficient and takes the guessing out of things. Also great if you want to wonder as you don't worry about getting lost.

It's tops.. Brilliant. So easy to follow. Huge database of everything you'll need to find. You move an inch in any direction and it'll tell you. D/l it brah

Lousy. Don't waste your money. This app is just a collection of articles from Wikipedia (with acknowledgement given) but obviously not proof read. The entry on Lido is not even about Venice but about what the term lido refers to in England!! The map lacks any useful detail. To be charitable, I suppose it could be useful if you needed information about Venice and didn't have an Internet connection. Providing the developer proof read the material first and didn't just cut-and-blindly paste as obviously has been done.

Perfect for travel. Have just returned from a trip to Venice, London and Rome. The suite of Ulmon products were perfect! The ability to have all maps and all points of interest details available offline AND to have the GPS mapping offline on the maps was fantastic. Haven't seen any other apps like it.

Excellent off line app. One of the big issues with travel is the cost of mobile data. This offline app is excellent as there is no Internet collection required. I downloaded 4 for my trip and so far they have proved to be very accurate and easy to use. The place marks make it very easy to find you way back to your accommodation after you have a day out. All you have to remember with this app is keep your devices charged.

Gr8. It's good

Don't get lost. Sometimes getting lost in a foreign country is great for all those other times use this app

Best travel app. For our recent Europe trip I used this app for all the cities I could! It was by far more user friendly and accurate to use than the other apps. Ulmon did not have a map for Florence and I missed the app!! Truly awesome app!!

Great Resource. This app cabin be a real asset. It is worth a download if you are or will be headed to the city. It provides you with information that could make your visit just that much more pleasant.

Fantastic App. Indispensable App For Navigating the Great Cities of the world. I used it for London, Venice and Rome. Highly recommended.

Amazing app. Only reason we survived our trip to Europe. 5 stars

Definitely Not Worth $0.99. Having just come back from Venice and tried to use this app, I can tell you it is useless. Very few lanes, walkways, or even canals are actually labelled. I had hoped to rely exclusively on this app to find my way around, but I am so glad I bought a real, paper map before I went. I would have been in trouble if this app was all I had. Do not waste your money.

Don't even try to do Venice without this app!. Loved loved loved this app. Can't imagine ever having to use a traditional map again when such awesome resources like this are available. Venice is a maze of little streets and I don't think I could have managed to explore that awesome city without this app. Thank you!!!!

Worth its weight in gold. The offline map is worth its weight in gold. Venice is a city where everyone gets lost but this app helps immensely. You can always figure out where you are and where you are headed. The map works offline so no need to get a data roaming package!

Awesome app!. Love it. The only thing I would want is to be able to share my actual maps with friends so they could import my layers into their own maps.

Location services was a problem at first. The location services did not work in Venice at first. I have an iPad without cellular. It worked well through most of Croatia but not Venice. Then after a couple of hours it began to work. Amazing. Go figure. It's a great app. As another reviewer stated, don't do Venice without it.

iPad and Venice. My wife and I were recently in Venice and brought our ipad and iphone. I had a number of Venice apps installed including the Ulmon Venice app. Venice is a maze. It is very easy to get turned around and lost. Paper maps are ok but this app was just wonderful in that it can pinpoint where you are on the map. Try that with a paper map. I kept the ipad (2) in my pack sack and left the app running. When we were a little lost, I'd pull it out and it had our location, even the direction we were pointing! In the narrow canyons of streets in Venice, many only a few feet wide, this was really surprising and very welcome. Using this app we didn't have to follow the marked paths to tourist sites that were crowded with, wait for it, tourists. We took any path that looked interesting, and less crowded to get to our destination. Also the fact that it works offline is really great. I had the app on my iphone (4) as well but it couldn't find our location in offline mode. This could be an operator error though. The only feature I would like to have had in the app would be a suggested path to your destination function. Already downloaded the Paris app for our upcoming trip.

Informative, needs improvement.. Lots of details and information. Needs to add interactive directions. I ended up switching over to Google maps.

Super application. Indispensable pour se retrouver dans les labyrinthes de Venise! Fonctionne sans utiliser de connections internet! Parfait pour les voyages. Permet de trouver entre autres les restos les hôtels et les guichets à proximité! Je l'ai recommandé à tous les gens rencontré en voyage!

Save your .99. I bought Rome2go and loved it. I thought Venice2go would be as good....it is not. Look closely at the screenshots of a blank map with blank red dotted lines. That's what you are paying .99 for. Get your kid's crayons...draw some dotted lines on a page and give the kid the .99. You'll be better off than I am for paying .99 for this useless app.

Awesome!. Very convenient to use! Used it in Florence and Venice. Sorting by distance and by reviews is very convenient!

Not that impressed. All the content is pulled for wikipedia. Not what I expected for a paid app. Better off downloading the guidepal guides. They are free and have at last as good content.

Wonderful App. This is a fantastic app. I would not travel without it. Thank you!

Great offline access. No data and gps works great. Only missing street numbers and navigation. Great work.

This app actually works. The App Store is full of "offline city maps" that don't work. This app works. And it only has advertising when you are online. Best of both worlds.

Très utile. Fonctionne super bien

Grande aide en voyage. Il reste quelques petites choses à corriger (comme le retour à la carte...) mais quel bel outil!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Genial!. Súper práctico para cobre la ciudad y moverse por todos los lugares de interés. Súper recomendada

Great with offline maps. Highly recommended!!

Crappy map of Venice Island. Venice island is a maze - you *need* street and piazza names to find places and get around. The map has neither. The info is a joke too. Don't waste your money on this one.

Probably better than nothing.... This app sounded great, but it wasn't. Extremely limited restaurant list, not much info on sites, and, at least on my iPhone, the map was not useful for finding my way.

Great App!. Helpful and easy to use!

Poor. Nothing but a collection of Wikipedia articles. You can access the same information by typing in key words to Wikipedia. Not worth buying.

Très bonne application !. Utile complète

App is easy to work with. Will be able to add more after our vacation later this year. So far have located the places we want to visit while on tour.

Negative Star . DO NOT BUYTotally useless..just red lines thats it. .

I love the "Pins". My map is full of pins! It is more than likely the only map I'll need in Italy. Fingers crossed! ;)

A few kinks, but useful. We are traveling to Italy in a couple of weeks and this app has come in handy as a way to pin activities and restaurants and color code them almost to my liking. Sometimes the color pins I use change to red, but usually revert back to my chosen color. When that happens, my notes are not there either. I just click on the color pin I had picked and the pin name and notes come back. This app does not have complete maps and could use a more extensive restaurant list (I have pinned my own). I am making it work, though!

Very helpful app!. With this app I managed never to get lost in Venice spending $0 on Internet access. Recommend to all travelers!

Useful app. I mainly loved this app because it can be used offline, and gps will position you on the map.

Everyone else is right. It's crap

Tour Guide. This is a Godsend app for me as a tour guide.

Looks good. Looks like it can help me a lot on my trip.

Map is good. Like the fact that this map has better street detail than most offline options. It even beats the Trip Advisor in this regard.

Useful app. Helped us to walk in Venice in off-line mode.

Great and useful app. Used this for two days navigating the streets of Venice. Invaluable.

Essential. Absolutely essential for its very detailed map and GPS available without data.

Must download!. Venice is a very confusing city to navigate. This app saved us countless times. Download this bad boy before your visit!

Poor execution. The app depends heavily on Wikipedia articles. Hardly what is marketed. Only downloaded it because it was free and it was still a waste of time.

Good offline map. Great

Loved Venice. A good guide and better than most apps. I had a hard time navigating with this because my hotel was not listed (boscolo Venezia)

Very Helpful. Add some walking tours for 5 stars.

Venice. A good way for me to get a better understanding of Venice before my trip.

Snap8. Great app! A must for navigating Venice. Worked great!

Unusable. Full of ads. Always trying to link you to another site. Just trying to get you to buy! buy! buy!. Not worth it.

Great app !. Very useful for our recent trip to Venice !

pretty good much better than city walks. so far so good

Great app. Get this if traveling to Venice, great map where no internet is required.

Venice t2go Stinks....Highly Over Rated Waste of a dollar. Don't waste your money. Only 1% of the streets have names. VERY WEAK App

Venice AppStore. Awesome app. Shows all the places I love!!!

Best App. Could not have made it around Venice without this app!!

Great!. A must have app. Can use it in airplane mode also.

Excellent!. Excellent maps and item identification. Highly recommend!

Great. This map is a great tool for making points of interests and places you want to see, stay or eat.

Ulmon Venice. Love this app, perfect for traveling without wifi or network available! Thank you!

Ferdi05. It is just great app you would never get lost with this map

Amazing!!!. Great maps, very detailed, the best I was able to find. I am going to Italy in a week I let know how accurate it is.
