LikeALocal Offline City Guide Reviews

by Vivirooni

I had hoped for LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide, but to start, there are not many places or tips on it to be useful for a teen like me trying to find fun things to do in neighboring cities (especially here in California, I would think a lot of tips would have been uploaded and accessible).
Despite that, LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide itself would not even load the tips for any of the given locations. I logged off and back on multiple times and then waited a day in between to try again. Same issue: I tap on a place and it will simply never load. Super cool idea, just wish LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide actually carried that idea out:/

The developers allow a user to post that black people are somehow genetically predisposed to understanding fried chicken. When notified, the developers claim they have no control over what’s posted on THEIR app, and leaves it to users to police each other.

I actually do like the website and think it’s handy... but as far as LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide rating in itself, is much lower. I’m traveling to Mexico soon and there’s a limited list of cities on LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide . I can find everything on the desktop website but not on LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide . There’s only 68 cities worldwide on LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide and when I explore, I can’t find a way back into the main menu so have to close LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide on my phone and re-open to get to main menu. Still have to go to the website to find what I want though. The website in itself would be a much higher rating but...app is not recommended. Please update LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide to include all cities in your main database! My home (the capitol of Texas) isn’t even on there, even though I’ve left multiple recommendations on the actual desktop website, trying to help others- thinking it would even show up on LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide ...but it doesn’t.

The maps never worked even after I payed for LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide , the tips are outdated and some of the places I went were closed. Some of the tips are good, some of them are really bad... So not a great app, I really wish I could say something different as it's always great to have local tips.

Okay traveling advice, but terrible layout. I wanted to read an article on their website, but to read all of it I had to download LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide . Amazingly, there is no search feature. If I want to find a particular cafe, for example, I have to scroll through all restaurants listed in a given city. It appears that you're also limited in the number of cities you can view before paying...really not sure what they were thinking when they created this.

Seems like a cool concept but not enough cities (don't even have big cities like Zurich or Venice) and app quit everytime I tried to access the actual city guide I downloaded. Luckily I didn't buy it, was just using the free trial. Needs work hopefully will eventually be useful.

I love the idea of local-submitted listings and offline use, but many listings in my own city, Disneyland and Universal Studios for example, don’t meet my criteria for “non-touristy”, so I don’t really trust the listings in other cities either. I downloaded LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide because I wanted to feel like I was getting some insider knowledge when I travel, so it’s disappointing to see sites that are literally among the world’s top tourist attractions listed. Needs some kind of stronger criteria.

I'm sure this is awesome for bigger cities around the world, but it seems odd that cities like Austin, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada aren't included... I'm sure it'll happen, eventfully. It just doesn't help me much now/today.

Just started using LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide in Madrid. So far I really like the off the beaten path suggestions, the thorough descriptions, and the ability to create lists. The location services are pretty inaccurate though which has been pretty frustrating as it would be nice to not have to use this in conjunction with other maps/apps.

LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide is fantastic itself- as in it has plenty of great suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. However it crashes every 5 minutes which is super frustrating- hope they fix it.

by Darnell2

great app but crashes when i click on "local experience" event

using it to go to brussels

[edit] tips
doesn't crash click local exp anymore
allow removing entries from the general list,... annoying to scroll everything
unable to [remove] an item from the lists page, can only do it by "unsaving" from the general list
allow marking something "done"

LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide lived up to my expectations and then some! I was only in Helsinki, Finland for a short time and LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide came through to help me make the best of it! Thank you!

The spots and app are great, but without seeing them on a map you can't tell how close they are to you

I downloaded LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide because of my trip to Copenhagen and it has tons of useful information provided by locals. And they have an offline option so you don't have to use your data. Definitely a great tool when traveling to new places!

LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide helped me find all kinds of interesting places in Munich. On the other hand, Nurnburg isn't even on here. That pretty much sums it up--going to a major-major city? Totally awesome app. Going into the country or even a just-major city? Not helpful at all.

Great app to find cool places to eat at that have local food, which is hard sometimes. Also has a lot of cities in Eastern Europe which is great!

Me and my girlfriend used LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide during our month long trip across Europe. I cannot recommend it enough - it allowed us to find so many things we otherwise would not have. It truly lives up to its name for allowing you to explore a city and see the local things that most people won't get to see.

Best part is - almost none of it is behind a paywall. I barely know how they're making money!

This little app is powerful! It has great secret tips and free information on cities around the globe. I use it every time I travel. Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Ho Chi Minh are all worth it!

I’ve used Like a Local in Madrid, Naples, Cagliari, Rome, London... in every case, I find something or someone interesting and amazing, off the tourist radar. I even made friends with a guide! Before I travel, I first plug in my city on LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide. Love it!

We were travelling and wondering about cool spots in the Baltics to hang out in. The recommendations were very current and well-written and LikeALocalOfflineCityGuide is easy to use and well thought out! Highly recommend!
