Freedom Trail Boston

★★★★★ Great map in app format. Looks like this embeds a Google Map in an app wrapper, but it's a phenomenal map and the app exposes all the cool features - streetmode, directions, satellite view, etc. The map's content provides a ton. It's not as pretty as some, but far more useful. A bargain at free.

★★★★★ Intuitive and Detailed Easy to use. Tons of useful information, juat wish it covered more area, would be great if expanded beyond the freedom trail!

★★★★★ Highly recommended Bought the physical book and then downloaded the free companion app. Helped plan our visit, gave us the tips we needed, and the background history was excellent (my son is a History Major) – just what we wanted to make our visit a success. The companion app is the perfect complement to what was in the book – we used them side by side, and it was great having both. There is a premium version ($2.99) of the free app that includes a ton more sites (those beyond downtown), a lot of detailed history that is hyperlinked to the sites, and other information like budget tips – some of this was also in the book, but there is new stuff here too. What is a killer is that the app automatically downloads (based on the language of the phone) pre-translated versions of the app. We were having Spanish speaking guests, and they loved it! It supports 8 languages - Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese. My guess is Google Translate, because it is not perfect, but it is extremely helpful. All in all, a great product and very innovative. Strongly recommended.

★★☆☆☆ Absolutely Useless Great app with lots of interesting information, but only until you've clicked on 4-5 points of interest, then the Premium Content request blurs out the pages, making the app completely useless.

★★☆☆☆ GAVE THIS app a 1, but it deserves a zero. After a few sites the trail sites' descriptions are blurred unless you upgrade to the premium content. Don't waste your time with this app.

★★☆☆☆ Crashed everytime I tried opening it. I'd try at each location and it would "unexpectedly crash". Was completely useless.

★★☆☆☆ This app should NOT be advertised as "Free" It is useless unless you PAY for "premium content" Don't bother! Uninstalling it.
