WikiSherpa (v. 4.0) Разработано Jon Evans |
WikiSherpa is a mash-up of Wikitravel, Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap, the open-source world map. Use it to search and save Wikitravel destination guides to your phone, and plot all their sights, hotels, etc. on the map - even while offline - for free!
You can even download an entire snapshot of Wikitravel (and its associated Wikipedia pages) to your device for offline use, and offline maps as well.

[2013-01-31] A Google User: Brilliant A very good supplement to a guidebook. Helps a lot when you find yourself without your guidebook. One of my most used apps on my current rtw trip! |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Good Nice app. Paid version still has AdMob embedded, so might as well stick with the free one. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Listings are broken For some reason listings are not shown properly anymore |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Great! The wikitravel caching is stupendous. You can easily cache THE ENTIRETY of wikitravel to take with you wherever you go. Amazin. Map caching is pretty spotty. My caches disappeared after a day's use or so and were never complete with all tiles. This is a secondary feature, though, so I'm still willing to give 5 stars. In most places, google maps can do the map caching for you just fine. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Used to be great, but doesnt work any more It constantly fails to bulk download or index bulk. |
|
[2012-10-17] A Google User: Usedful info over the most places I find this app extremely useful to look for restaurants or attractions. |
|
[2012-09-04] A Google User: Best of the travel apps Can replace the worthless, overpriced, garbage guide books you will pack and leave at your destination. Buy pro to say thanks to this guy. |
|
[2012-09-04] A Google User: 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. |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: 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. |

[2012-08-16] A Google User: offline maps do not work Great idea for a travel app though selecting downloaded offline maps shuts the app down. Also happens periodically for online mapping... using ICS 4.0.4 |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Can't view downloaded maps. Crashes every time I try. Sent the crash reports tho. Hopefully it gets fixed. |

|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Great! Great for browsing places you might want to visit |
|
[2012-01-22] A Google User: Need some improvements 1.white on black text uncomfortable for reading and no way for it's change. 2. Text on map is too small on device with high resolution and now way for it's change. |
|
