The first thing that you need to do when you launch the app is to sign in with an account so that you can create your own trip journal or import information that you've saved inside the app.

It also comes with a settings menu, you can pick from the metric or imperial system for measurement. In addition, you can choose from whichever currency is more comfortable for you. Users can also add their own home base inside the app so that London City Guide can provide them with suggestions.
