Paris Guide 1.1.0.1
Getting as much information as possible on the places to see is a common activity that many users can now carry out from their mobile devices.
Those who are interested in viewing some pics and reading interesting facts about the top attractions from France's capital city can try an app that goes by the name of Paris Guide.
Pleasant and well organized design front-end
The interface of this utility has a really nice feel to it, mainly thanks to the beautiful images it comes with, including the smooth background. The graphics are decent and the navigation among the various sections of the app fluent.
A noticeable setback can be found in the "Directions" area, where the data loads after a few good seconds pass, while exiting the navigation utility with which Paris Guide integrates can be difficult. Also on the downside are the adverts that appear in the top part of the screen, where they keep on changing.
General info and accurate directions
This application opens with a generic description of the French capital that contains some relevant statistics as well as many lifestyle related facts. Unfortunately, the opening text comes as a solid block, with some typing errors inside, which can make it a bit difficult to follow.
The top attractions of Paris are included in a separate section, from where you can open the corresponding articles and learn a bit about each place. Getting to any of those locations is a breeze thanks to the precise directions you will receive from the map application on your phone, as Paris Guide connects with it seamlessly.
Pin places to the Start screen and share data on the go
In case you want to keep your preferred spots close at hand, this application enables you to add a tile to the Start screen for quick access.
Also, if you want to send the details concerning any of the locations included in Paris Guide to someone, simply push the "Share" button from the main menu and several methods of distributing the content will be at your service.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The fairly well designed GUI of this application has some noticeable drawbacks that include the way in which the texts are presented and the irritating ad banners shown inside the interface. |
Function6
The list of attractions is very limited, even if the information brought by Paris Guide is useful, the directions accurate and the images of very good quality. The abilities to share the content and pin the shortcuts to the Start screen are some useful extras. |
Security9
The app is fairly safe to use as it accesses mostly system areas that are related to its functionality, except for the owner identity. |
Battery6
The significant amount of energy consumed by this app while it is running makes the battery usage remain at very high levels for most of the time. |
Price5
There are surely better reference tool out there, so this one can serve merely as a starting point for those who want to learn more about Paris. |
Compatibility8
Only those who own a Windows Phone 8 or above device will be able to have this application installed and functioning correctly onto their handsets. |
