Tidy appearance for a practical utility

The utility has a more special look that is centered more on navigation and providing the precise location of various landmarks rather than offering more visually appealing elements of graphical design.

Moving around the map and going from one section of the app into another is done seamlessly, without any noticeable delays of other kind of glitches.

Spot the main attractions and access them immediately

This application manages to offer a very well organized method of browsing all the items that are included in its database. Thus, if you opt for the places list that is accessible via the main menu at the bottom of the main screen you will have all the locations on display, neatly structured in alphabetical order.

All the spots that are highlighted and numbered on the map are assigned to the tourist attractions you should check out, so press the marker to view the name of that spot and then read the info associated with it.

Read some elaborate descriptions for each location

With Osaka 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 each landmark will also help you make a good idea about that specific place.

Should you care to view all the available data for any entry on the places list, you can use the URL address that links to the source article and explore the extra info on the fly.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

This utility has a simple look, more practical than appealing, but still well organized and with a smooth navigation on the map, even if there is a noticeable delay when the app is launched.

Function7
 

The information brought by this utility is pretty useful and the integration with the navigation solution is a plus, but it could use a few more locations included in its database.

Security9
 

Osaka is pretty much discreet while running, but it will have to access the phone identity for some reason, even if this doesn't seem related to any of its functions.

Battery5
 

The power consumption is raising constantly as the app is functioning, so the battery usage reaches very high levels.

Price8
 

Overall, this guide is a good tool to have since it brings some useful information in a simple form, without asking for anything in return, but it lacks more tourist attractions.

Compatibility10
 

Ready to run on any Windows Phone powered device on the market, this application will only require that version 7 or above of the operating system is installed.
