Dubai Guide 4.1.0.0

Prepare for the vacation of your dreams in Dubai with a companion that knows the local attractions
Before setting out for a new destination where you intend to relax and unwind, getting some information about the places to visit there is a smart choice.

In case you do not have the time to do this some days or weeks ahead, there are plenty of online and offline resources that can help you carry out this activity even while you are on your way to that vacation spot.

Thus, if you are heading to one of the most sought after destination in the Middle East you can try onto your Windows Phone an app called Dubai Guide.

Friendly interface, with a practical layout

This application comes with a quite original look relatively that has at its core the map navigation feature and for this reason the visually appealing elements of graphical design are scarce.

The practical aspect is predominant and this makes for a smooth navigation around the map in both aerial and road view modes, as well as among the various sections of the utility.

Easily go through the attractions to find the ones you want to check out

With regard to the organization of the content, Dubai Guide offers two simple ways of looking at the places you might me interested in. Thus, you have the possibility to view the exact location on the map and tap the number on the markers to reveal the names of those spots.

Alternately, you can bring up the places list that resides in the main menu shown in the lower part of the screen. All the tourist attractions are included on that list and they are kept in alphabetical order, making it a lot easier for you to browse them.

Useful information and relevant pictures at a glance

Dubai Guide enables you to learn some interesting facts about each place it has in its database and the details are accompanied by high-quality photos that help you get a complete image.

The info is provided courtesy of the well-known free online encyclopedia Wikipedia and if you want to view the original pages for any of the articles, you just have to simply follow the link placed inside the textual description of each location.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The looks are decent, nothing out of the ordinary, but quite well organized and practical, so it scores well from the visual perspective.

Function7
 

The amount of information provided by Dubai Guide for each location is sufficient, but the number of places it includes in its database is quite small, so it loses a bit here.

Security9
 

The application is pretty much discreet while running, but it still needs to access the phone identity for some reason.

Battery2
 

This utility will simply deplete the battery as it has a huge power consumption due to the detailed online maps it comes with.

Price8
 

Since it comes free of any cost and nuisance to offer a good deal of details and suggestive images for the places it contains gives this app a remarkable value overall.

Compatibility10
 

Any Windows Phone user will be able to give this application a try as it is suitable for running on any on any device that has at least version 7 or above of the operating system installed.
