Brisbane Guide 3.4.0.0

A handy app to help prepare a trip to one of the most representative cities from Down Under
Prior to embarking on a long journey for a new destination where you intend to relax and unwind, gathering some details about the places to see there could be a smart choice and a fun pastime.

To those who fancy spending a few days or an entire vacation thousands of miles away from home, Australia might be a viable alternative. While getting ready to journey there, having a tool like Brisbane Guide onto the mobile phone will surely prove an advantage.

Easy to use interface, with a practical layout

This application brings forth a slightly different perspective and focuses on a map-based navigation, which has a major influence on the overall appearance. This generally means that the visually pleasing elements of graphical design are left aside as the practical aspect takes over.

The practical aspect is predominant and this makes for a smooth navigation around the map in both aerial and road modes, as well as among the various sections of the utility. Nonetheless, you might experience some minor delays in loading the satellite imagery in the aerial view.

Check out the most interesting places in Brisbane in several ways

With regard to the organization of the content, this app offers two simple methods of looking at the locations you might me interested in.

The first one is by accessing the alphabetically ordered list of places that can be brought up with a single tap on the corresponding button hosted inside the main menu.

The alternative to this is to use the markers on the map and with one tap reveal the name of the selected landmark, while a second tap will get you inside the informative area dedicated to that tourist attraction.

Learn useful things about each location

The application enables you to read for every place you pick form the list or via the map the info hosted on the Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia. The imagery inside this guide is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.

There are even more details you can easily get to should you want to learn more about those places in Brisbane and this can be accomplished by visiting the source pages, each of them having the URL address inside every listing.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

This app has a relatively simple look, more practical than appealing, but still well organized and with a smooth navigation on the map.

Function7
 

Brisbane Guide covers a quite small set of locations favored by tourists, while the information and imagery are sufficient for each entry on the list.

Security9
 

The utility seems to be safe to install and use, but it is important to consider that it still needs to access the phone identity for some reason.

Battery3
 

This tool will drain the battery pretty fast, as it needs a lot of power to function and the consumption is significant as well while the app is in the background.

Price7
 

Brisbane Guide is a pretty decent tool to have since it brings useful data at no costs, but it needs more places in its database to increase its value.

Compatibility10
 

The application is ready to be used on any Windows Phone device out there since it only needs version 7 or above of the OS to run well.
