Ratings and reviews

Found this app great for finding out new things about Sydney. Easy to use and full of interesting information. I really liked the way that all the information was in the app, and did not require internet access, so I could use it on a tablet while in the city. I also liked the way it links into the GPS and shows my location and the way info about sites is just on a pull-up tab. I grew up in Sydney, but both I and my Sydney friend found lots of things we had never known about. Like the art works in Pyrmont and the riddle sculpture outside the AMP building. I also liked the way it has Art, History and Eclectic tours. The one on Newton and seeing the grave of Eliza Donnithorne was good.

I love this app! I live in Sydney so although I know my way around it's a great way to get to know it's history and important landmarks (aside from the obvious!) My husband and I have been tagging on a self-guided walks whenever we feel inspired. For example, we completed the Rocks walk before we had brunch in the Rocks last weekend, and we did the George Street walk yesterday before meeting friends in Circular Quay. We always have fun and it makes a normal walking experience more engaging.

The app is exciting and offers a lot of information, however it also crashes a lot that you won't even get the chance to stay inside the app for like a minute.
