Lima Guide 4.1.0.0
For users who are about to visit the most important Peruvian metropolis, having at hand on their mobile phones a little helper like Lima Guide to show them some of the main attractions could be a very good idea.
Straightforward navigation through a clean front-end
The application brings a GUI that is centered on the map of the capital city, leaving other visual enhancements aside, as it focuses on practical use. Moving around the map is easy, but the imagery loads with difficulties in the aerial mode.
Despite the lags in displaying the satellite images, the other actions are carried out promptly, so going through the several sections of the app is smooth and without any other glitches.
Look at every interesting location up close
Concerning the organization of the content, there should be no problems at all in finding a certain landmark, as long as it is included in the database of this app. The locations are marked distinctly on the map and by tapping any of the markers will reveal the name of that place.
Should you care to try a different approach, you can easily pick the points of interest you find more appealing from an alphabetically ordered list that can be brought up with a single tap on the corresponding button hosted inside the main menu.
Informative articles and photos for each place worth seeing while in Lima
With the help of this virtual guide you can unveil get quite a bit of details on every local attraction it has in store for you and there are also some nice photos accompanying each listing. A neat thing is that the source of information is the reliable online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
Extra details can be found in the complete articles which you can access by tapping the links placed at the beginning of each selected description, so you have the possibility to verify if something has changed over the years.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The friendly appearance of Lima Guide has some letdowns, the most noticeable ones being the delay in loading the imagery and the lesser quality of some pictures. |
Function7
There is quite a bit of information about each landmark listed inside the app, but the total number of locations is very small. |
Security9
The utility remains discreet for the most part, but it still has to access the phone identity for some reason. |
Battery4
The application uses a lot of power when functioning and the consumption is not at all diminished while running in the background. |
Price8
The data presented by Lima Guide is accurate, for the most part and also easy to reach, while the few letdowns it has make it lose a bit of value. |
Compatibility9
Anyone interested in taking the app for a spin can do it on any Windows Phone 7.5 or higher mobile device. |
