London Guide 4.4.0.0
For Windows Phone users there are some specialized apps that can come in handy when it comes to learning new stuff about popular tourist destinations and if you are getting ready to travel in one of the largest cities of Europe, you might find London Guide to be of interest for you.
Plain GUI designed for practical use
The application comes with an interface that is centered on the map of United Kingdom's capital city, leaving other visual enhancements aside. Going through the several areas of the app and navigating the map in road or aerial view mode has a fluent feel to it.
The integration of advertisements may become bothersome over time, but currently only there are no such nuisances inside, only a banner that is shown in the lower side of the screen, where the adverts should appear.
Browse the locations with ease and find the ones you are interested in
With London Guide you can take a quick look at the map and pick any of the marked spots to view their name and by tapping it enter the areas where all the details are provided.
An alternative to this is using the full list of places that can be accessed via the main menu shown in the lower side of the main screen. The application can also help you find your way to any of the selected places as it works in conjunction with the navigation app installed on your phone.
View the detailed info and the photos associated with each listed attraction
As soon as you select any of the places included in London Guide you will have at your fingertips a selection of historical details and interesting facts that is accompanied by a set of high-quality images, all these originating from the articles hosted by Wikipedia.
To access the full set of data, simply follow the URL address displayed at the beginning of each listing you open inside this utility.
