Cologne (Köln) Guide 3.5.0.0
Because there is no lack of information resources, some users are most likely to be tempted to carry out this activity while on the go and those who own a Windows Phone handset can enlist the help of a tool like Cologne (Koln) Guide if they are about to visit one of the largest cities in Germany.
Practical and easy to use interface
This utility comes with a quite original look that is centered on the map navigation functionality and thus leaves out a good deal of elements of graphical design that would seem visually appealing.
The navigation on the map has a quite fluent feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the aerial and road views.
All the landmarks in Cologne at a glance
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 application. The locations are marked distinctly on the map and by tapping any of the markers will reveal the name of that place.
There is another method of checking out those local attractions, more precisely by accessing the list of places that is accessible via the main menu at the bottom of the main screen.
Easily go through all the details about each location
The application enables you to read the info hosted on the Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia or every location it has included in its database. The imagery inside Cologne (Koln) Guide is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.
Should you be interested in viewing the entire article and all the associated references, you have at your fingertips the link to the original page inside each section containing data about the selected place.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This utility has a simple look, more practical than appealing, but still well organized and with a smooth navigation on the map, even if there is a noticeable delay when the app is launched. |
Function7
Cologne (Köln) Guide comes with a relatively reduced number of landmarks and attractions but manages to bring a lot of details for each of them. |
Security9
The app remains fairly discreet while running, but it will still need to access the phone identity, even if it is unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery1
The extreme power consumption of this application will completely drain the battery very fast, after a couple of hours of continuous use. |
Price8
On the whole, this tourist guide is a pretty decent tool to have, especially since it brings useful data and it does it at no costs, but it needs a lot more places in its database to increase its value. |
Compatibility10
As long as the handset on which the user installs this app is running Windows Phone 7 or above, everything will function perfectly. |
