Tired of fumbling around strange cities with an unwieldy map or having to rely on the kindness of strangers to find anything? If so, then digital concierge Unlike Media’s new geo-locational iPhone application is for you. So far, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Miami, Paris, São Paulo, Shanghai and Vienna have been enthusiastically debuted, with New York and Ibiza coming this summer.
Whether you are searching for mermaid-themed restaurants, avant-garde art exhibitions or a place to rent a fixed gear bike - a team of sophisticated journalists regularly updates the highlights of those ten cultural capitals. With over 4,000 location listings and eye-grabbing photography, the global application, which features all ten cities, is surely worth its €15.99 asking price. If you are more inclined towards an individual city, just pay €3.99 and you’re in.
The application has some sexy features: a MyTour function which allows you to bookmark any location and “recommendations organized by proximity and category” to save a lot of aimless walking around time. Better yet, the guides are completely downloadable and thus able to be accessed offline without roaming charges and (cue drum roll) the app's events section is updated every 24 hours.
This “definitive city guide for the mobile generation” has been endorsed by the Guardian, while the app received props from none other than the mother of the iPhone, Apple. Buy it here to never end up in some random lame club/gallery/restaurant again.
