A lot of those who are preparing a vacation or a few days trip to a location they never visited before will try and do a bit of research first in order to discover the best places to check out during their stay.

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 Tokyo Guide.

Friendly look for a practical GUI

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.

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 Tokyo Guide is of pretty good quality.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The looks of this application are common, while the layout is well structured offering a pleasant experience from end to end.

Function7
 

The amount of information provided by Tokyo Guide for each location is sufficient, but the number of places it includes in its database is quite small, so it loses a bit here.

Security9
 

The app remains fairly discreet while running, as it only needs to access the phone identity for some reason.

Battery4
 

There is a very high power consumption related to this utility and this will make the battery drain pretty fast.

Price8
 

This is a quite useful tool to have as it offers without any nuisance or need to purchase a lot of information about one of the most visited cities in the world.

Compatibility10
 

In order to have this utility installed and running well users will only need a Windows Phone 7 or above handset.
