Latest reviews of Los Angeles: Wallpaper* City Guide app for iPhone and iPad
This app gives you a hand full of tips for Los Angeles. Mostly hotels. One image per tip and very little writing. There are so many free guides online for LA. There is nonneed to buy this AT ALL! Dont get fooled by wallpaper!
I found the information within the app unimaginative, lacking, and useless. Not as much a guide to the city as it is a vehicle to advertise different vendors, including a large ad for Rolex in the mainframe of the app. I see no reason for a $4 app to contain such blatent advertisement. It literally reads "sponsered by Rolex" on the home screen and has dedicated an entire tab of information within the content about the Rolex collection. This is expected from a free app but not paid. Funny that on the Phaidon site the apps home screen is shown without the advertisement. The reason I gave 2 stars is because it is well designed, aesthetically and interactively. With updated content, it could be great. In the mean time, as a Phaidon fan and someone who spent too much on a useless app, Im disappointed.
