New York Times: “…the guide highlights neighborhood amenities like bicycle repair shops and community gardens.”
LA Times: “The Top Picks are invaluable…the NFT guide is both snarky/fun and inviting…a welcome alternative to the $9.99 (and up) iPhone app price tags on other city guides.”
ZDNet: “A good investment if you dont want to be “That Guy” opening a huge map in the middle of Times Square.”
Jaunted: “You'll be instantly comfortable navigating the app by fingertip; it's almost as if the books were designed based on the app and not the other way around.”

Problem with location in new version (4 stars)

It was not able to located me using the gps- one of the best features. I used to be able to hit the "close by" tab and the app would locate me and show me great nearby restaurants, landmarks, coffee places, stores – anything I wanted! It wa

Location is not working (1 star)
I keep getting an error message saying "Error getting location – access denied." This app is really not helpful if you can't find the cool locations you are near. This needs to get fixed asap.

Pointless. Just use google search on the map (1 star)
2.99$? No way. So disappointed, all the useful info in the printed version isn't here. I was dupped by the overall high ratings which I don't I understand at all.
