Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

With a rather common but still decent appearance, this utility offers a good perspective of the city and a fluent navigation from end to end.

Function8
 

There is a proper amount of info provided about each location listed inside Philadelphia Guide, but the number of places included in the app's database seems a bit too small.

Security10
 

The application remains very discreet at all times since it will not require access any secure areas of the system that are not related to its functionality.

Battery2
 

Keeping this utility running for a couple of hours will simply terminate the battery power, as the consumption is extremely high.

Price8
 

On the whole, Philadelphia Guide is a good tool to have since it brings many useful details in a simple form, without asking for anything in return.

Compatibility10
 

As long as the handset on which users want to install this app is running Windows Phone 7 or above, everything will be fine.
