It's all Covered

This app covers everything you will want to visit and do while in Paris including the best events, activities, attractions, restaurants, and hotels. In total you'll find information on more than 400 points of interest in the city, more than enough for any weekend or week-long trip. As well there are over 200 HD videos of top hotels and restaurants. Think of this app as your own pocket tour guide that can lead you to all Paris has to offer.

I have to mention the user interface for a moment because for me it is one of the standout features of the app. It uses a really unique, fun, and user-friendly design that makes navigating the app simple. You will be using a dial to sort through the information: just tap on the category you want to read up on and the information instantly loads.

 

Using the App

As mentioned navigating the app is simple and I have to say the speed at which the information loads is incredibly impressive. There are plenty of videos and images to help you discover these wonderful locales and the videos are all superior quality. All the destinations include a write up and contact information to help you learn more about them.

The navigation bar along the bottom of the screen is helpful to quickly find what you’re looking for. The map is just that, a map with everything plotted on it. You can zoom in on the map and tap on any icon to see what attraction/hotel/shopping/restaurant/etc. is located there. Mark any item as a favorite so you can quickly and easily remember it. You can even build an itinerary that you can then save in the app and follow.

If you’re looking for additional guides there are city guides on Singapore, London, Berlin, Sevilla, New York, Chicago, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Seoul, and plenty more.

Just a quick mention: you’ll want to check out the “Our Top Picks” category on the dial on the main screen as these are recommended places in the categories of Fun for the Family, Around Paris, Must-Sees, Unusual Activities, and Off the Beaten Path.
