Very useful to find things to do that are near you or plan out a weekend. I like that it shows the subway exit number for your destination, many categories. My only complaint is that I have gone to 2 places that are no longer in business

Impossible for a tourist to build a round trip when you have no idea, where these attractions are. If you know allready, where something is, you don't need this app. Everything is downloaded veeery slowly from the net, so you can not use this program in an aeroplane and you must get a fast net connection.
