Melbourne Guide 3.5.0.0
For people who enjoy visiting beautiful places that are really far away from home, Australia might be a possible choice. While getting ready to travel there, having a tool like Melbourne Guide onto your Windows Phone handset will surely prove an advantage.
Decent front-end, bent on practical use
The app offers a somewhat different perspective than other tools of its kind as it focuses on a map-based navigation method and this influences a lot the appearance. There are few, if any, elements of graphical design that could be considered attractive since the focus is clearly set of on practicality.
Going through the various sections of the application and navigating from one place to another on the map are carried out seamlessly, without any visible delay of other kind of glitch in both the aerial and road views.
Melbourne's places of interest at a glance
When it comes to the way in which this app keeps the actual content inside the several sections it has, things are fairly clear and the data is easy to access.
Thus, 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.
There is another method of checking out those local attractions, more precisely by accessing the list of places that is accessible via the main menu at the bottom of the main screen.
Facts, figures and photos for each landmark
With Melbourne Guide you will be able to enjoy a fine selection of details that are taken from one of the most reliable online sources, Wikipedia. The pictures that accompany the textual information will also help you make a good idea about that specific place.
To access the full set of details, simply follow the URL address displayed at the beginning of each listing you open inside this utility and it will take you to the Wiki page in an instant.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The well structured layout, smooth navigation and good quality photos give this app the edge and score some good points from the visual perspective. |
Function8
This virtual guide includes a decent number of locations favored by tourists, while the information and imagery are sufficient for each entry. |
Security9
This application looks to be safe to install and use, but there is a spot it needs to look into for no good reason, namely the phone identity. |
Battery4
Melbourne Guide drains the power from the battery at a very high rate, so a full recharge might be needed after a couple of hours of continuous use. |
Price8
As long as it comes free of costs and nuisances to offer a good deal of details and suggestive images for the places it contains, this app has a remarkable value overall. |
Compatibility10
Ready to function on pretty much any device powered by Windows Phone 7 and above, the utility addresses all users out there. |
