NFT Guides, All Cities App Reviews

Great in general maps are detailed and info although some is slightly old is pretty good.

I was going to NYC for an interview. and since I wasnt staying there long I decided to purchase this NFT NYC app. It made picking which places to go and which to not super easy. And information was useful to find where I wanted to go. The reviews that say "not good" and dont give a reason for the bad rating are doing other customers like us a dis-service. This is a great app. Buy it if u want to save time and energy looking for places to hang out in New York City. 

Overall, a fairly decent, no-holds-barred guide that at least voices an opinion in clear terms. My biggest issue is that the maps do no show any subway stations; what, is the assumption that everyones a high roller and taking cabs everywhere? A bit of a contradiction, given the "yo, bro" writing style...

I already own 2 older print versions, so I opted for the updated app versus another book. The app hits some basics, but not enough details. Also, theres some overlap of listings between several locations, which can get confusing, and there seems to be no clear order (e.g. alphabetical) to certain lists. The book is a gem. Get that 1st, app 2nd if you have to.

Print version is much better. Need to have better directions from airports and maps of museums etc that are on the book.

Overall I like this app quite a lot and have been a fan of the NFT books for several years. I think the interface of this app is simple and fine and the stores and landmarks shown are most often great and current. My one major complaint though is that the app, unlike the print counter part does not include listings for the locations of banks and ATMs--a crucial tool for navigating the city. I hope NFT has plans to add this to the app.

Great app, but the maps dont work correctly with iOS4.

It doesnt even have a listing for banks. It is trying to hard to be yelp or citysearch. Waste of money. Print version is so useful. This one I deleted after having it in phone for only 2 days.

I have loved the printed version of this guide for years. However, the maps in this app are very buggy and it assumes you are in New York and tries to work based on your location. I dont live in NYC anymore and frequently use the guide to plan my trips to NYC, the guide wants to believe that I am in NYC. This makes it harder to use. Another problem is that it assumes that when you are looking for say a restaurant that you are only looking for a restaurant in the neighborhood you are currently in. There is no way to search for a restaurant in all of Manhattan. If you dont know which neighborhood a restaurant is in, this guide is no help to you. Also, as others have said this app does not have some things that are in the printed guide, Banks for instance and it does have some things that the printed guide doesnt, e.g. Farmers Markets. I wish that the app and the books had the same information so I wouldnt think I had to take both with me. Also, I lived in or near NYC for 35 years and have never heard of some of the neighborhoods listed in this guide, apparently there is a place called DUMBO in NYC. Never heard of it, though apparently I lived really close to it. If NFT puts more work into this app it could be really great. However, on my next trip trip to NYC Im taking the printed NFT with me, even though this app will be on the iPod Touch in my pocket. Looking forward to a much improved app.

I certainly agree with most of the posters who are complaining about the dated material. What bugs me is that the app insists that my neighborhood is Bushwick. Although I was born and raised in Bushwick-back when it was actually habitable-my current neighborhood is nowhere near it. This is a classic example of a NYC app developed by people who are not or could never be New Yorkers. I suggest that they hire a real native New Yorker to straighten out the information. Their print guide also has tons of mistakes that natives would never make. A good attempt but not worth the dough.

It contains all the basics, but wheres all the "special" spots?, wasted app for purchase, much better free apps available, like a simple google search. I came I saw I purchased I am very disappointed. Great local NFT places I know of are not even listed, too bad. Nice try though Please use my 1.99 to design a better product, Caveat Emptor

Every time I open the app, I get the message "Error getting location - Access Denied". As someone new to the city the "Close By" menu would be the most useful. Say Im somewhere downtown and I want to find a good coffee place... That functionality is missing for me which is a real disincentive. I agree too with some previous comments that the reviews are too brief. I bought this app at the same time as the paper guidebook, and after initial excitement Ive been disappointed and using it less and less in favour of Yelp and Google searches. I was expecting more.

2.99$? No way. So disappointed, all the useful info in the printed version isnt here. I was dupped by the overall high ratings which I dont I understand at all.

some nice content, but missing so much. "error getting location" on my iPhone 3GS perpetually doesnt help. thus far, has not been much help as a new citizen of the city.

I keep getting an error message saying "Error getting location - access denied." This app is really not helpful if you cant find the cool locations you are near. This needs to get fixed asap.

This used to be my all time favorite app. I navigated NYC like a pro and found all kinds of things to do in places to go when I visited the city. But something is wrong with the latest version. It was not able to located me using the gps- one of the best features. I used to be able to hit the "close by" tab and the app would locate me and show me great nearby restaurants, landmarks, coffee places, stores - anything I wanted! It was so useful! Last weekend I was in NYC and got an error message every time I asked to show my location. (access denied) NFT please fix this bug!!! My gps was working fine. A different app which showed subway stops near my location was able to pinpoint where I was and tell me how to get where I needed to go - so I know the problem was not with my phone, the network, or the gps.

I want to like this app, but Im troubled by the miss-information that appears throughout (for instance they say The Frick Collection was founded by Jacob Frick. It was founded by industrialist Henry Clay Frick). More troubling considering the high quality of the print version is that the maps are just okay and are hard to navigate back to the information page from. The map app that comes with the iPhone is more helpful for navigation.

Would not reset itself back to center point. Content would be half off the screen.

When you rotate to see the map with neighborhoods and then you select one and rotate it back, the info is not centered and half off screen. Help!

Poor selection of info unless you live in those two boroughs
