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 app about each place included on its list of attractions, but when it comes to the actual number of locations to visit, it is pretty small.

Security9
 

The application 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 utility needs quite a bit of energy to function well, so the increasing power consumption will have a negative impact on the battery, which will discharge a lot quicker.

Price8
 

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

Compatibility9
 

There should be no issues in running this app onto most Windows Phones out there as it only requires a device with version 7.5 of the OS installed.
