Tidy looks and a smart layout for effortless navigation
The utility has a less common interface that is build upon a map of the actual city, so as to make it easier for you to browse the local attractions. Thus, the visually pleasing elements of graphical design are left aside as the practical aspect takes over.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The application offers a decent appearance, focused on practicality, but with the content neatly structured and easy to browse. |
Function7
The amount of details provided for each location is very good, but there are simply too few places to visit that are included in its database. |
Security9
Rio de Janeiro Guide seems quite discreet and it manages to stay well off the sensitive areas of the system, but it still requires access to the phone identity for some reason. |
Battery4
The power consumption is always on the rise while this utility is running, so the battery might become depleted in a few hours of continuous use, especially with the aerial view active. |
Price8
The fact that it doesn't require a purchase and lacks annoying ads and prompts works well in its advantage, but the rather limited database decreases a bit its value. |
Compatibility10
The application can be successfully installed and run on any Windows Phone powered device as it only requires version 7 or above of the operating system. |
