World Tour Guide 1.0.0.0

A potentially useful trip planning utility you can use onto your Windows Phone
Those who love to spend their vacations traveling around the world know how important it is to get to know a little the locations to be visited, especially when visiting those places for the first time.

To help users with some background information on some of the hottest touristic destinations, several applications dedicated to this purpose were developed and one of them is World Tour Guide, a straightforward tool that can serve as a good staring point in the search for more references.

Clean looks for a simple and easy to work with front-end

This app has a relatively tidy appearance, with a nice interface, where the neat graphics offer a pleasant experience. The content is kept well structured and very easy to access, thanks to the several categories you can go through with no efforts.

The images that are associated with each location that is part of World Tour Guide are relatively small and cannot be opened separately, like with other similar apps. There is an ad banner displayed in the upper part of the screen, but it is not as intrusive as in the case of most apps that have adverts inside.

Read and share general information about the selected destinations

The utility offers a rather small amount of details for every location included in its minute database, so reading the data for all the 20 top places selected to be part of World Tour Guide should not take too long.

In case you want to share the info you have at your fingertips, the application makes this possible in several ways, namely via SMS, email or through the social networks you subscribed to.

Prepare the vacation with a bit of help from TripAdvisor

The app contains some very useful links that will help you discover the local attractions, accommodation opportunities and ways of getting to a certain destination.

All these are possible through the well-known TripAdvisor service, so you should be able to easily book a flight or a room to a hotel in the city you are planning on visiting.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The nice aspect of this app's GUI, coupled with the easy to use and well thought layout help it score some good points from the visual perspective.

Function6
 

The information provided by World Tour Guide is barely sufficient, but the utility is saved by the neat extra features that can make the trip planning a bit more easy.

Security7
 

Despite the relative simplicity of this application, it still requires access to many secure areas of the system, without them having an evident relation to the actual functions.

Battery8
 

The amount of energy needed by this tool to run properly is normal, as the battery usage does not go past moderate levels.

Price6
 

As a reference source World Tour Guide still has a lot to catching up to do, while for the trip organization part it can fare a bit better, so the overall value is unimpressive.

Compatibility8
 

Those who want to take this app for a test drive will have to do so only on a Windows Phone 8 or above handset.
