Chicago Travel Guide and Offline City Map App Reviews

Good maps & fast

I like this app because zooming in and out is very fast (faster than other apps tried) and works offline.

Super

Very good app with map offline The best app for visiting

Weak Offering

Very rarely am I compelled to leave a negative app review. Chicago2Go is an exception. I was pretty displeased with this app. The map is almost unusable, its way better to simply load google Maps before you go, zoom in, pan around, and that data will be stored locally even if you dont have data roaming turned on. The one restaurant I needed to find was not listed, even though its a relatively well known place in Lincon Park. If you think this app is your one stop Chicago resource, think again. Im probably going to delete it.

Useless

Good if you are looking for common information. No user comment or rating capability built into the app.

Just a Wikipedia Mash-Up...

I downloaded this app in a hurry as I departed for my trip to Chicago. Once in the city I had time to properly review its interface...only to find out this is basically just a collage of every Wikipedia entry concerning Chicago history/buildings/people. There are zero graphics, not always a photo for each entry (inconsistent), so it is hard to find information on what youre looking for when youre searching through textual titles. All in all, not worthwhile!

Great App

I plan to visit Chicago next week and I already have everything planned out thanks to this App. Extremely useful for a visitor.

Chicago map

Will prove useful during trip to Chicago. Has helped in planning our time there.

Awesome!

So grateful for this helpful app while I was in Chicago this summer. The offline maps were especially useful, as roaming data charges are insane otherwise.

Do not buy a tour from this app

We purchased a tour from this app and my paypal account got charged. However, we never received the confirmation email. I had to find the company that it booked through and call them to find out reservation- luckily this app sent it through. It was however about double the price than if I had booked directly with the company. These guys are a huge scam!

May be useful for tourists

Disappointing. The "searchable map" can only be searched for pre-selected points of interest and does not recognize addresses. If youre vacationing here this is a handy offline guide to tourist destinations but its damn near useless for a resident.

I like this app

We will be visiting Chicago this week, and I think this App will come in handy. Especially the feature "around me".

Wikipedia in a nutshell

This app is basically a bunch of Wikipedia links. Save yourself a dollar and get the free Wikipedia app instead.

Great App!

Ive been living in Chicago my whole life and would love to know alittle bit more of city. This app will definitely do the job! Chicago Works app is another great download! Help clean up the streets. This app does the job!

Helpful!

The map is great and the list of attractions is good... But it leaves out so many wonderful things about this city! I wish it was more detailed about the places it lists, and I wish it listed more places!

Great app!!

The map could include more landmarks, but otherwise is great!! Very impressive for offline, and for further navigation I recommend the iTrans CTA app to go along!

Very helpful

I enjoyed using this ap both before and during my trip to Chicago. I found the background info. About buildings and historical sites very helpful and interesting.

Love this app

We will be going to Chicago this weekend, cant wait to use it! Ill let yall know how well it does for us.

Not worth it

I didnt find the app specific to my location. It was a good general app for Chicago - but I was hoping for more of an app that addressed sites that were near me as I moved around the city.

Perfect

Its helpful really, except the map which can not locate ur location and trafic info efficiently to get you there. I enjoy it during my trip to chicago

Where is Black Ensemble Theatre

Why was one of the most popular theatre companies in Chicago not included in this app? This company has been around for decades and recently opened a new multi million dollar facility. I have attended productions here for years and the theatre was always sold out. Great company!!! Keep up the good work Jackie Taylor.
