This was a great app, but now it won't even open, it just crashes on startup every time. I have rebooted my iPhone, but it didn't help. The Paris app has the same problem. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I purchased LP London for a recent visit with my family of teenagers. The most useful feature of the app is the map, which we used daily to easily locate attractions of interest and find our way around the city. There is a 'find your location' feature but the map is almost as functional without it and avoids wireless charges. Various categories of features are displayed on the map but the ability to filter them does not persist between launches of the app and it should. The walking tours are a list of places to walk with little description of even major sites on a walk and no directions to find one's way between sites. Locations of underground stations are shown on the map but there is no map of the underground system nor major bus lines (these are noted for each feature, you just can not see how things are connected). A nice feature is the ability to save a list of favorite sites for easy reference while moving about. This could be better if the user could enter notes for items on the favorite list. Much of the remaining text was of little help for family touring. The restaurants and lodging are more for the single or paired traveler; we did not visit any of them. Some of the comments in the text are snide attempts at humor or come with sexual inuendos that I could have done without. A large amount of the suggestions would be more appropriate for young adults looking for night life. The prices are a year out of date at least. Overall, it was useful for the map but needed supplementation from another popular guide book. Those on a budget might find a paper map would be less expensive though less convenient and more bulky.

I am in London right now and I can tell you that this application does NOT have location-awareness. I wanted to give Lonely Planet the benefit of the doubt (especially since
