Toronto Guide 1.0.0.0

Explore the largest city in Canada with the help of a trusty virtual guide for your Windows Phone
There are plenty of people who like to stay informed about the places they are about to visit, so, in order to discover the main attractions of any tourist destination, resorting to a travel guide could be a very good choice.

Those who prefer to look for details about the most interesting locations in one of the largest cities in North America while they are on the go can try a specialized utility that is meant for all Windows Phone users and goes by the name of Toronto Guide.

Practical front-end, easy to navigate

This utility comes with a quite original look that is centered on the map navigation functionality and thus leaves out a good deal of elements of graphical design that would seem visually appealing.

Browsing the map view of the city is done without glitches, as the display adapts quickly to all changes of perspective in both the aerial and road view modes.

Lookup the places of interest on the map or inside a list

The top attractions of Canada's main city are included in a separate section, from where you can open the corresponding articles which are arranged neatly, in alphabetical order and learn a bit about each place.

With Toronto Guide you have at your disposal under 40 interesting spots to visit and they are all marked on the map. By zooming in and pressing once on the number assigned to each of them you can view their name and a second tap will open the corresponding informative section.

Get a detailed insight into all the major attractions on the go

For every spot included in this guide you can read the details provided by the Wikipedia articles and there are also some neat photographs that are illustrative for each of the locations.

To access the full set of details, simply follow the URL address displayed at the beginning of each listing you open inside this utility and it will take you to the Wiki page in an instant.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The looks of this application are rather simple, with a clear focus on the practical side, but they manage to gain some good points from the visual perspective.

Function7
 

Toronto Guide brings a decent amount of details about for each place it has in its database, but the number of attractions is, nonetheless, very much reduced, so it loses a bit here.

Security10
 

The utility is pretty safe to install and use as it keeps a low profile and doesn't come anywhere near the sensitive areas of the system.

Battery4
 

The energy drains fast as long as this app is functioning because the power consumption will be increasing constantly.

Price7
 

On the whole, Toronto Guide is a pretty decent tool to have, especially since it brings useful data and it does it at no costs, but it needs a lot more places in its database to increase its value.

Compatibility10
 

Ready to run on any Windows Phone powered device on the market, this application will only require that version 7 or above of the operating system is installed.
