You can use the free city guides download one at a time from the Android Market and discover the Self-Guided tours Free in Beijing, the best restaurants in Chicago, an interactive map that shows the most remarkable sights in Boston, and an overview of culture and architecture in San Francisco.
TripAdvisor traveler wrote on her bones hotel reviews. So each guide combines advice from TripAdvisor travelers with many hotel and restaurant reviews and ratings obtained from the global websites TripAdvisor.

All wizards to work offline, even without Wi-Fi, so you can avoid wireless roaming charges when traveling.
But to get guides about updates or access to the latest consumer written hotel and restaurant reviews from TripAdvisor, you need a wireless connection to type.
This TripAdvisor Mobile City Guides are comprehensive and very tourist-friendly.
The New York City guide, for example, offers 14 self-guided tours. The range of one to three hours Brooklyn Bridge walk into a half-day trip and a bakery Cupcake Crawl 10-stop Wall Street and Financial District walk.
One major gripe with the first Mobile City Guides is that they are a little predictable and light on risk appetite.
Some of New York City Self-guided tours, for example, recommend collapsible buggies for small children or carry disinfectant wipes or tote on Cupcake Crawl.
Wall Street and Financial District Tour takes place in the World Trade Center site and Trinity Church. It does not mention the nearby occupied Wall Street protests have been a quirky tourist attraction.
And if New York Macy guidance states that one of the top 100 tourist attractions, but not in detail why or give any anecdotal information - other than what people say on TripAdvisor - the place Herald Square store.
You would what city guide information from Lonely Planet, a competitive New York City Guide app for 99 cents offer to learn that Macy is time consuming "creaky old wooden elevators at the Broadway side is a must-do experience NYC."
The Point Me A feature of the Mobile City Guide TripAdvisor apps are cool. If your French is rusty and you do not want to ask for directions in Paris, press the arrow to point me to learn the distance to your destination. Of smartphone compass will guide you.
On the negative side, there are complaints from users who are online TripAdvisor city guide apps are memory pigs that SAP a smartphone memory. But New York City Guide 14.88 MB does not have this problem.
A closer look at the first Mobile City Guides:
• Overview. Free mobile apps on Android devices to 20 global cities combines tips and information from TripAdvisor travelers with ratings and reviews. Including restaurants, walks, attractions, hotels, neighborhoods, history, culture, architecture, weather and transport information.
• Pros. Comprehensive, fast, combining advice on TripAdvisor reviews. Works offline to avoid roaming charges. Interactive map and immediately gathers the best tours, attractions, restaurants on a single card, and you can toggle between a list view and map view. GPS identifies attractions nearby, and me and compass point lead there. Searches can be filtered at the restaurant, price range, cuisine and attractions.
• Cons. Do you feel like a typical tourist with little treasures and hidden spots. Counseling is mostly common sense, lack of insight. Available on Android devices. Some users refer smartphone memory overload.
• Takeaway. Impressive and easy to use, but predictable. A convenient way to travel as tourists. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, you should use a social travel site that Gogobot or Wanderfly or contact a site-local (NileGuide Ask a Nomad, Triptrotting).
