SPARTACUS Int. Gay Guide for Android
Bars, cafés, clubs, saunas, hotels or simply a cruising area– with the Spartacus app you can quickly find the information you need, wherever you are. The biggest advantage this app has over other electronic gay guides is its worldwide coverage and our proven code system. All this without expensive roaming charges, as most of the functions also work offline!
The Spartacus app currently delivers comprehensive and valuable information on 2600 cities; New York, Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Rio or São Paulo – all the gay hot spots worldwide. The Spartacus app also covers the more unusual travel destinations such as Beijing, Tokyo, Perth or Lima, and even has information about venues outside the big city centers.
The Spartacus app has these exciting features:
- Worldwide free version with selected content that enables you to check the app out with all of its functions. You may fill this version up with your purchased bundles from the shop.
- Our “Enjoy” function finds the places where men dance, have a hot date, shop, eat and drink, or where they can spend the night.
- All search results can be sorted by distance, name or rating and viewed on the interactive map or list.
- Filters enable you to select specific categories and combine the search with the well known SPARTACUS codes - so you can find all gay saunas with a pool or Danceclubs with darkrooms.
- Worldwide Event Calendar with new search options
- “Favorite” function where selected locations or areas can be stored for future use and quicker access.
- “Feedback” function enables quick contact between SPARTACUS editorial staff in Berlin, your Facebook profile or any e-mail address. With the help from our agents on site, this combination ensures that information is always up-to-date.
- Star System allows you to see which places are currently popular and you can even provide your own rating.
- Integrated information where entries are complemented with photos, flyers and other information, to deliver an overall comprehensive picture.
- Region-specific information for those who would like to find out more about a country or a city. There is information about the political situation for gay men at their destination as well as useful facts and figures, places of interest and other information.
- Navigation tool that quickly shows you the shortest way to your chosen location

difficult, counter intuitive interface, slow, subscription stuff doesn't work properly, zero useful information.
If you change operating systems then dont expect to be able to transfer or to get any support from Spartacus. The basic response is.. 'Tough, pay for it again' Avoid like the plague until they start to give a stuff about paying customers.
Very buggy. Horrible user interface, do not waste your money on this app
Since no option for 0 stars
Don't buy it.
My country got lot but u only display only TWO free place????? WTF
Nicest ever
Great
Bag of spanners
Everytime I start this app it has to download the 'premium content' again or says I need to buy it again despite having a subscription. Total rubbish which is good news for the traditional paper guide.
After installing on a n device can not access the purchase
Don't buy it.
I installed and uninstalled within a few minuted.....useless app
Can't even search for a city. Had to select a country and then find the city manually on a map and then discovered that 95% plus of the listings are only available if you pay. Uninstalled.
It installed fine. First time running, couldn't find my location, then I couldn't close the application. I had to shut it down the hard way. Several more attempts it just locked my phone up. Uninstalled it.
This app is not user friendly at all. Constantly displays "please wait - preparing data" and icons are not self-explanatory. Have never used an app as difficult to navigate as this one. The book was great but this app is way too complicated and cumbersome. Unless it's improved, I won't renew.
Get stuck in downloading images, can't back out the only solution is uninstalling! I tried a number of times
this app is an example of bad programming knowledge. it does not work on tablet pcs that are said to be compatible. on my mobile it tries to load additional data every click i make ( no cache?) and since two month it hangs itself nearly every time i go for details. the data seems to be old, many bars do not exist any more. please, cancel my subscription!
Positive point: app works offline. Negative points: useless in the free version. Pay version is expensive since it doesn't give you any info you can't get elsewhere for free. Poor listings for non-commercial venues such beaches and outdoor locations (gives only the well known ones). You cannot browse the map to neighbouring areas, as you need to enter a location to reveal venues, for some countries you can't choose a full province/county or district but only a town or even a village as in paperback guide.
very Little listed, not really a free app
by Q####:
Uninstalled and reinstalled app and now it won't download any content! Keeps freezing and even causing my phone to refuse to shut off. This is by far the worst app I have ever installed (and paid for). They need to hire a different IT team to do a total redesign. I'm not renewing my subscription as this app is far more trouble than it is worth. Sorry.
