Perfect travel guide

This app is very, very convenient and wonderfully helpful. Youll never be lost, and entire travel guides are rolled into one and ready at hand thanks to its being offline. The metro map is an added bonus, but it could be updated.

Great!

This made our trip so easy. Love that we can see our location without turning on data!

Best map

This map is so amazing because it can locate wherever you are even when you dont have wifi on your devices. Highly recommend for travelers.

Great app for when you have no wifi

Best app for touring Paris there is. Limited wifi prevents you from using GPS but this app still manages to keep you relevant and shows you where you are

Great offline

This app was a lifesaver when it came to navigating Paris. From marking frame of references to mapping the rail stations to GPS tracking....it does it ALL offline. It is a must have if you dont want to feel like a tourist walking around with a large paper map.

BEST map app to use in Paris!

I just returned from a one week vacation in Paris. I had originally downloaded four different map apps, but this is the only one that was the actually useful! Gives you perfect directions, even with cell service turned off. The built in GPS gives you real time location ability and guides you to your destinations easily. This app was a godsend when trying to find the famous Paris Saint-Ouen Flea Markets on my own, with my very limited French vocabulary.

Too many ads masquerading as "tours" or "Ulmon inspirations"

Overall, a so-so app (with too many ads pretending to be suggestions). The POSITIVES: (1) the app is great to find where you are (it uses your phones GPS and not your mobile data plan or WiFi). Thats the only good part. (2) It has two maps, one street map and a second metro map. Really wish these were combined into one map. Worst for us, the metro map isnt even to scale -- so the real location of streets & Metro stops dont match (so if two Metro stations on different Metro lines appear close on this map, you cant trust that the real streets for those stations will also be close). Would have been better if they combined both maps (street & Metro) into one -- so you could find the metro stops to take -- and then what streets to walk on outside the station (or what exit to come out of at the really big Metro stations) The NEGATIVES: (1) the worst part: you can only use this app to go to one place at a time -- not to plan a "shortest route" between a few places. If youre new to a city, you dont know which sites are close to others. And this app does nothing to help. So its really a collection of info on many sites in Paris. It doesnt help much with actually going out to more then one site. I setup a bunch of places in Paris I wanted to visit, but the app offered no help in planning an itinerary or trip. In the app I "saved" the sites I wanted to visit -- sadly it gave no help to create either a metro route/trip (station to station) or a walking route I could take. (2) app is HUGE: ~140MB (3) it has tons of "tours" and offers -- all are garbage. BEWARE - it lets you buy tickets to free sites/places!!! (through their network of questionable "tour operators"). (4) the "Ulmon Inspirations" feature seems useless -- just random restaurants & hotels & tourist sites they suggest. Most of these are just slick looking ads theyre throwing at us, pretending to be tourist suggestions. (5) the interface is a bit disjointed. Not always easy to get the info you need -- it makes you go through too many screens.

Simply great

Helped me prepare for my trip, was there when I needed it to get around the city. Plenty of up-to-date locations. I was primarily in 1st Arr and I had zero problems.

Easy to Use

Lets you know exactly where you are and where you are heading too. Great offline, easy to navigate. Lifesaver in Paris

Paris2Go

Fab app! Im in Paris often and couldnt do without it. It is a "must" have. Stop wrestling with maps and city guides.

Great Paris App

The maps are feat and identify many points of interests and cafes and restaurants.

Great app!

We were in Paris last week and this app was invaluable. The GPS made it easy to find exactly where we were and how to get where we were going. Helped fun the Metro stations too. A great tool while traveling.

Ulmon

Were using this map to prepare for a trip to Paris. Its easy to mark and color code our hotels, museums, places we want to eat and visit. It will be invaluable to have such an offline map customized for our locations once were there.

Out of comparing...

I am planning a trip to Paris this weekend. Downloaded several apps and compared. This app stands out! Easy to find, mark, plan!!!

Awesome App

Used this app to find our way around Paris for eight days. Always showed exactly where we were, how to get where we were going, and how far away we were even with data roaming turned off. Blew me away. Great job guys! Thanks.

A life saver

Usually dont rate apps but after a trip to Europe using this offline maps, I can asure you, this app will make your trip easier and you wont miss any important spot in the city. I used London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon! In Budapest I felt lost because they dont have a map for this city but Google also doesnt have a map for Budapest offline. Ill put 6 stars but I cant so 5 its the closest. One more thing, all this is for FREE! And this is not all, also you can download the information about the historic places in the city and then you can get the info offline. You have to try it!!

Ulmon Paris app

When traveling around Paris this app is a must. Easy to use and keeps us tourists from getting lost.

Would be lost without this

This was one of the best and most useful apps I have ever used. I did not want to carry one of those huge bulky maps in Paris so decided to use the offline map for my trip. This thing was my bible, it shows direction of traffic so you know if your going the right way, has great suggestions for places to see and eat, and has a map of the metro. The offline function still is able to triangulate your location and direction you are facing and walking so it is impossible to get lost with this app. Best part about it is if you set a marker on the map, even without gps you can easily see how you are walking to the set marker. I can only imagine that this app would be even more amazing if I decided to use it online. Really cant imagine it getting better then this app, not one thing I would change about it.

Invaluable when going around Paris

I downloaded the offline map so I wouldnt have to use my data in Paris. Using the metro was so easy with this app as a reference. Not only that being able to mark the things you want to see while seeing your location just like you would in Apple or google maps. It even has an arrow pointing in the direction your phone is facing. I dont know how often I will get to come to Paris but I will be using this app every time.

Most Used App While in Paris

My husband and I both loaded this app on each of our phones. Then we linked both apps to the same account. I created a list of all of the places that we wanted to see and restaurants friends recommended. And then we rented a Wi-Fi device to carry with us while in Paris. As a result we used this app constantly. We used it to navigate the metro and to find restaurants and museums and our way back to the hotel each day. This is the most useful app I think Ive ever used for travel!
