Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The application offers a decent appearance, focused on practicality, but with the content neatly structured and easy to browse.

Function7
 

The amount of information provided for each location is sufficient, but there are simply way too few places included in the database.

Security9
 

Dortmund Guide seems quite discreet and it manages to stay well off the sensitive areas of the system, but it still requires access to the phone identity for some reason.

Battery3
 

The power consumption will be continuously increasing as the app is kept running, especially in the aerial view mode, so it might deplete the battery pretty fast.

Price10
 

A decent source of information for a few interesting places any tourist would like to visit when visiting the interesting German metropolis, this tool has an excellent value on the whole.

Compatibility10
 

This app is meant for use on any Windows Phone device out there, starting with handsets powered by version 7 of the operating system.
