From the visual point of view, this application doesn't have a lot going for it since its looks are mainly designed to be more functional than appealing. Everything revolves the map displayed inside the main screen and all the functions and commands are placed conveniently, for quick access.
Take a look up close at every landmark in Beijing
Insofar as the organization of the content is concerned, there should be no issues in finding a certain place as long as it is included in the database of this app. The locations are marked distinctly on the map and by tapping any of the markers will reveal the name of that place.
There is also another method, more precisely by accessing the places list area that can be opened from the main menu at the bottom of the screen. In that list you will have all the locations on display, neatly structured in alphabetical order.
