Every time you start the app it plays a sound! That soooo annoying! How can I disable that?
Amazing app if you're in the process of planning your trip to the UK, has maps and all the appropriate transportation options
It's very detailed about a lot of events happening in London. There really is something for everyone on this app. They also have stuff to do with children. I like it. I just wish they would update their transport maps. Thank you.
Brilliant app, didn't know it existed before now. All London activities in one place, wow! Recommend 100%
This app is brilliant!!Full of all the things you want to see and then some you've never heard off.My trip to London is going to amazing because of this app!
Incredibly useful app to have. So many interesting and varied things, places, activities to see & do.
Has good coverage on what to do in London. Used the transport map quite a lot (zoomable + draggable) which is a life saver when you are on the move with no data, WiFi. It's FAST even on an old phone like Blackberry Priv. It would be perfect if it includes park maps such as Hyde Park, St James Park and etc.
Intrusive notifications that cannot be turned off. Edit: Basically you're happy to say that if want the app is what I have, you're going to keep spamming and, if I don't like it, I can turn off notifications in my phone. Btw, links don't work currently in the store, imagine how awful is type a link by hand in a browser in a mobile
Can't really find anything without a tedious, convoluted search more easily done using most any London website. Can't find events by date or month (when I tried to search for events in November it gave me a map of Hyde Park). Seems to be more an ad site for MasterCard than a serious tourist's information site. A waste of phone space and my time. Uninstalled.
Excellent to have some many activities and options together. The maps and links with choices for directions are great. It's also good to see things that are close together to make a trip more efficient
The ONLY app you need to install if you are travelling to London. Trust me it works flawlessly! All the maps have been integrated into this app & so many helpful articles/must sees included in the app for London. This is a MUST download for any1 heading to London!
This was our first time in London and it has been a great help. It was suggested to me by a friend who had been here a few times. Great resource to reference of sights, sounds and activities. However, I would say the only thing to make it the best, would be to have better directions to public car parking for the points of interest.
This is a great app, giving up to date information in a concise form. I've been to London many times, and have found attractions that I've never previously enjoyed. I'd recommend this to any traveller regardless of how many times they've visited.
Very helpful. Accurate, easy to use. Covers tube, bus, everything you need to get around.. Also does a good job of suggesting things to do. I love London and this app helped me make the most of my stay.
Very easy to access information about what's on.
Great App! love it . Very accurate. one suggestion, in case you save your favourite places and you've visited it there should be a check list. it would be great. Overall fantastic app.
Found this app really useful for things to do and places to eat.
Really useful for a day out!
Very handy app for tourists & locals alike! I especially enjoy the feature of that allows you to see your destination on the map.
Lots of great ideas, maps and more.
Very well made App , lived and worked there for a time, has good tips of what, I missed out on before, looking forward to my return trip as a tourist 😎👍
I think this app is really useful i usually look at it every day. There are museums i have never heard of in London before and other events.
4.5 *. Excellent App - Wish it had more info, along with current prices for using the Tube. Would also like to see info for purchasing a SIM card for tourists.
Really interesting with lots of useful info.
just checking this app before heading to Wimbledon next month, saving all the great places I plan to visit. Will review once I get back but so far, I'm loving it!
very helpful to know & visit places in London. i reallylove it. we can maintain a list evn for future visits if onecant remember/memorise all in brain.
excellent app for planning my 3rd trip to London. So many great suggestions, it will be hard to choose!
DO NOT Buy Tickets using this app....it sells third party Vouchers, not Tickets, and the vouchers must be Printed to be exchanged for tickets. Awful, dreadful paper voucher.
Useful App for someone like me who lives in London. The 'near me' option is nice. It would be really good to have 'near a postcode' option so that all places of interest near a planned visit point could be viewed in advance...
