Shanghai Guide 1.0.0.0
Since there are plenty of information resources available out there, some users will most likely think of doing this activity while on the go. Those who are interested in viewing some pics and reading interesting facts about the largest city in China can try an app that goes by the name of Shanghai Guide.
Smooth navigation through a friendly GUI
This application comes with a relatively simple appearance that is based on the map orientation which is its most prominent feature. There are few, if any, elements of graphical design that could be considered attractive since the focus is clearly set of on practicality.
Moving around on the map has a quite fluent feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the aerial and road views, while getting about the various sections of the utility is also smooth sailing.
Browse the landmarks in Shanghai on the fly
With Shanghai Guide you can take a quick look at the map and pick any of the marked spots to view their name and by tapping it enter the areas where all the details are provided.
An alternative to this is using the full list of places that can be accessed via the main menu shown in the lower side of the main screen. The advantage of this latter method is that all the locations are arranged in alphabetical order, so it is easier to go through them.
Get detailed information about each tourist attraction
This utility displays a good deal of details concerning any of the entries on the list of places or when you make a selection from the map shown inside the main screen. The data is taken from one of the most reliable online sources out there, namely Wikipedia.
In case you want to verify the details to see if any of them are obsolete, you can check out the original pages, by accessing the links at the beginning of each article.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The aspect of this utility is somewhat simple, while the layout is well structured offering a pleasant experience from end to end. |
Function7
There is quite a bit of info available inside this utility about each place included on its list of attractions, but the number of those locations to visit is very small. |
Security10
Shanghai Guide leaves all the personal information stored onto the device untouched and doesn't require access to any secure area of the system without a good reason, so it gets all the points here. |
Battery5
This utility requires quite a lot of power to function, so the battery usage will remain at all times at high and very high levels. |
Price7
Overall this utility is a pretty decent tool to have, especially since it offers a lot of useful data and it does it at no costs, but it needs a lot more places in its database to increase its value. |
Compatibility10
With support for every Windows Phone device on the market, Shanghai Guide only needs version 7 or above of the operating system to be installed. |
