Destination Manager 2.3.1.0
These necessities and a lot more can be handled very well with the help of specialized utilities like Destination Manager. This application is made to fit the needs of most Windows Phone users and it offers ease of use as well as an impressive amount of information.
Smooth and simple GUI
The nicely designed interface of this app is very easy to work with, mainly thanks to a smart way of structuring the services in several main categories with many subsections. Also, the navigation is very fluent no matter the section of the application you are currently browsing.
There are some hindrances that you can spot as soon as you open the app for the first time, as they come in the form of animated advertisement banners, which are spread in every area throughout the utility.
Quickly find places to go to and get accurate directions
The search function is very responsive and will yield some really useful results, while the location services work pretty well to bring you information about any service available in your vicinity
Getting directions to a restaurant and viewing the favorite places on the map or aerial views are also possible. More so, in case you are lost, you can use the "Where am I" feature of Destination Manager to get your bearings, provided there is a wireless Internet connection available in your area.
The amount of details offered when looking up certain places is very good, as it includes reviews from people who actually went there and had first hand experience with the services.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The GUI looks and feels quite enjoyable, but the advertisements make the experience a lot less pleasant. It's a good thing that the organization of the features and information is done very well, so there are more pluses than negatives in this respect. |
Function9
Destination Manager offers an impressive amount of information that is coupled with very good orientation and navigation capabilities, to help anyone find and get to the nearby places they want to visit. The only drawback is that many of the business and services are mixed, so on certain lists will appear places that have nothing to do with the category the user is looking into. |
Security8
The app needs access to several areas of the phone where personal data is stored, but in most cases it has good reasons to look in there. The phone dialer component is accessed to allow users to place phone calls to the locations that have a number listed, while the location services are mandatory for identifying the possible destinations near the user's current position. |
Battery6
This utility can take up a good deal of battery power, so the energy consumption is high when navigating the maps, getting directions and calculating routes to the destination. |
Price9
Destination Manager is a valuable app to have, so benefiting from all its features without having to pay a cent, even if having to tolerate a lot of ads is still a very good deal. |
Compatibility9
Well suited for use on Windows Phone 7.5 and more recent devices, this application requires a built-in compass and a minimum screen resolution of 480x800 pixels. |
