Sydney Guide 1.0.0.0
Since this activity can be carried out very well even if you are on the move, you can try one of the apps for Windows Phone dedicated to that purpose and going by the name of Sydney Guide.
Straightforward looks, bent on practicality
The utility brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the large Australian city and there are few elements of design that could pass as attractive.
Going through the several areas of the app and navigating the map in road or aerial view mode has a fluent feel to it. Also, the imagery included inside Sydney Guide is of very good quality.
Find and explore each spot on the map or from the dedicated list
This application manages to offer a very well organized method of browsing all the items that are included in its database. Thus, if you opt for the places list that is accessible via the main menu at the bottom of the main screen you will have all the locations on display, neatly structured in alphabetical order.
The alternative is to pick a certain location from the map shown inside the main screen and tap the number on the marker to reveal the name of the spot. With another press you will open the informative section dedicated to that place.
View the detailed info and enjoy some nice pictures from each tourist attraction
Sydney 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 want to check out the original page, there is a link included inside each article and on the source page you can get a lot more details, including transportation information, extra historical references and others.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This utility has a simple look, more practical than appealing, but still well organized and with a smooth navigation on the map, even if there is a noticeable delay when the app is launched. |
Function8
This utility provides enough details and some nice photos of some of the most important places any tourist would surely like to visit. |
Security10
Because the app 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, it scores all the points. |
Battery3
Sydney Guide will deplete the battery in a relatively short while because it has a very high power consumption all the time it is running. |
Price8
Overall, this app is a good tool to have since it brings some useful information in a simple form, without asking for anything in return. |
Compatibility10
There should be no issues in running this app onto any Windows Phone out there as it only requires a device with version 7 of the OS installed. |
