Excellent app! Brilliant for saving offline info to read when there is no internet connection. Cant really find fault with it yet, been using it a lot in the last month for lunch-break research at work.
★★★★★
Great for offline travel Great to be able to access wikitravel even when you are in foreign countries with access to wireless only every now and then.
★★★★★
Superb, especially for offline info Used this app all over europe. The ability to download the data before you go away allowing use when you don't have net access in any place you might go was the main thing. Used mainly to the read the text information (Understand, Talk, See, Do, Eat, etc) which is from wikitravel. So it's as up-to-date as wikitravel is. Can't comment on the map feature as you have to cache them separately. As far as the wikitravel data - In general this was excellent! It functioned as a replacement for a guidebook. I used it to decide between several different places to go. Also, the get-in get-around info, i.e what bus/metro to take was spot on.
★★★★★
Absolute best travel companion! Now I can have all the great info from wikitravel even without the 'net

Would be useful, but just hangs and burns CPU time and battery without fetching the map on my Droid.
★★☆☆☆
Can't view downloaded maps. Crashes every time I try. Sent the crash reports tho. Hopefully it gets fixed.
