MYWorld 1.1.7.0
In case you rely on your Windows Phone handset and take it with you everywhere, MYWorld could be a most interesting tool to have, as it can guide your steps in unknown places and also help you explore the local points of interest.
Common appearance, focused on practicality
This utility has a functional interface where all the functions are easy to reach, so as to facilitate the practical use, even if this is done at the expense of the look that is rather dull. Going from one section of the app into another is pretty easy, but there are some noticeable lags in loading the information.
The ad banners that appear in the lower part of the screen and are constantly changing represent the main annoyance of MYWorld because after a couple of uses a prompt to rate and review the app will appear, but you can disable it for good and disable it with a couple of taps.
Find places nearby and get detailed info on each
With the help of this application you will be able to immediately start exploring your surroundings and thanks to the map orientation finding the right route to various spots is a breeze, especially because MYWorld integrates with HERE Maps and the other members of the HERE suite of apps.
The utility is useful for locating places where you can eat and drink, accommodations as well as cultural landmarks, spots where you can pass time and even local transportation to help you get to your desired destination.
Even the current and upcoming weather conditions for the chosen location can be viewed by tapping the corresponding button on the map view.
Augmented reality view, events and pictures at a glance
One of the best features of this application is the ability to display onto the live view from the phone camera the exact location of each place of interest you looked for. This way, just by walking around with your phone in hand and looking at the camera view you can steer right towards the spots you want to get to.
Besides providing some information about the locations near you or those you searched for with the built-in search engine, MYWorld is able to bring you some relevant pictures for the selected spots, provided that any are available. Also, you can view the events scheduled to take place in a certain location, just by swiping to the designated section of the app.
To share with your friends the places you have discovered you have the possibility to post this location info on your Facebook account or send it via SMS or email.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The aspect of this application is not too appealing, the layout needs to be made more clear and there are some lags and numerous nuisances inside. |
Function8
There is a good deal of useful features inside this app, so it can prove a real helper for anyone interested in knowing more about some distant or nearby place. |
Security10
Despite the fact that it needs to look into several sensitive areas of the system, MYWorld has good reasons to do so. |
Battery2
This app needs huge amounts of power to function, so the battery usage is kept at extremely high levels at all times. |
Price9
All the features come free of costs but not free of nuisance, as the users will have to endure lots of ads inside MYWorld. |
Compatibility9
The more recent handsets should have no problems in hosting this application as it only requires Windows Phone 8 and above. |
