Oxford Guide 4.0.0.0
Acquiring as many details as possible regarding the places to see is a common activity that many users can now carry out from their mobile devices. For those who own a Windows Phone powered device, a tool like Oxford Guide will do the trick if they are about to visit the city that is proud to have one of the oldest universities in the world.
Easy to use front-end, with a clean look
The app brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Oxfordshire county town and there are few elements of design that could pass as attractive.
Browsing the map view of the city is fairly smooth, as the display adapts promptly to any changes of perspective in both the road and aerial view modes.
Discover the main attractions on the map or inside a well organized list
With Oxford Guide you have at your disposal just under 50 really interesting spots to visit and they are marked on the map. By zooming in and pressing once on the number assigned to each of them you can view their name and a second tap will open the corresponding informative section.
Alternately, you can bring up the places list that resides in the main menu shown in the lower part of the screen. All the tourist attractions are included on that list and they are kept in alphabetical order, making it a lot easier for you to browse them.
Detailed descriptions for each landmark in Oxford, with relevant photos
This guide enables you to read the info hosted on the Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia or every location it has included in its database. The imagery is illustrative and also informative, as it allows you to get a good overview of the selected place.
In case you have any doubts about the accuracy of the information shown inside, you can check the original pages, by using the URL addresses posted at the beginning of each article.

Design / UI8
The looks of this utility are quite simple, with a clear focus on the practical side, but they help it gain some good points from the visual perspective. |
Function8

Security9
Oxford Guide needs for some reason to check out the phone identity, despite the fact that it is unrelated to its actual functionality. |
Battery5
The application requires quite a lot of power to function, so the battery usage will remain at all times at high and very high levels. |

Since it comes free of any cost and nuisance to offer a good deal of details and suggestive images for the places it contains gives this app a remarkable value overall. |
