Spotted by Locals travel guide App Reviews

I used spotted by locals on a recent trip to Stockholm. The restaurant and cultural activity suggestions were both superb.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Scandinavia and picked up guides for the three cities we’ll be traveling to. The tips in this app are much more personal, and off the beaten path than you might find from a Lonely Planet or even your friend Rick Steves. Great for planning, and can’t wait to have with us on our adventure!

I recently purchased the apps for cities Zürich, London and Paris. I emailed the company because my wife wanted to view the PDF files which they said within 12 hours they would be happy to send me the links for. That is an amazing response time for a small company. I am going to the cities in March and look forward to extensively using these apps both on my iPhone and in PDF format for my wife.

Easy to use and utilizes your phones GPS so you can find recommended sights that are close by. Cant wait to use this to find unique local spots on my upcoming vacation!

Dont like that its free but its not.

Super resource for go-to information about great spots in many cities in Europe and North America. Works offline also!

If youre going to charge,its ok... But charge from the start. Dont make it look like a free app and then offer only paid services.

Theres nothing free about this app. Every city you click on requires $3.99 in order to see anything. Lame.

If you get this app thinking is free you are wasting your time. Every single guide in the app is paid. Disapointted!

Full of hidden gems found and written about by actual human beings. Each of the city guides are a steal at $4. (If youre one of those regrettable folks who refuse to pay for anything no matter how good it is, the guides are available at no cost on their website.) Bought the Oslo guide while traveling abroad and instantly filled several days with fun adventures I never would have found otherwise. To kick them a few more bucks of appreciation (and to see how good the guides *really* are) I later bought the guide for my hometown. Speaking as a native of that city, the recommendations are solid, which makes me trust the other guides even more.

Wonderful app that has helped my wife and I discover some amazing and unique places around the world.

Spotted by Locals is a great resource to find places off the beaten path where typical websites or guidebooks might not take you. I have used it in multiple cities in the USA and Europe - such as San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, Prague, Munich, Athens and Istanbul - and each time I have found places that have been a highlight of my trip. The city guides are cheap and the offline maps make it well worth the investment.

I have been using these guides for years and love them. They are great for finding off the beaten track shopping and restaurants that are authentic and local. My best meals when traveling are found through them. The function "nearby" is awesome and means you always know where to go for a good cup of coffee when running around town. I even use it for my home town as they are that useful. Highly recommend!

This app will only let you view the information youve already paid for when its updated, and these updates happen seemingly every couple days. Since you wont be able to download the update when youre off wifi, and youll likely only open the app off wifi because that is its purpose, youll actually never be able to access the information you paid at least 4 dollars for. Enjoy.

Best way to avoid tourist traps and find good local places.

Its like having a friend in the city you are visiting. Reviews are fun to read, recommendations are spot-on and the app is easy to use.

Easy to use and awesome app! Great for anyone wanting to explore a city !

Im sure this is awesome for bigger cities around the world, but it seems odd that cities like Austin, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada arent included... Im sure itll happen, eventfully. It just doesnt help me much now/today.

0 stars, you can do absolutely nothing without purchasing a city guide... Include Peoria Iowa or any city for free so potential customers can see what a purchase gets you.. I dont think Ive ever deleted an app so quickly...

Ive used this app the past 3 times Ive visited and traveled throughout Europe and its the best. Its has places that would never come up if you just did a Google search of "best dives in Berlin" or "local cuisine in Prague." The offline maps are great especially if you dont have data abroad. Its mostly European capital cities and larger 2nd cities like Kraków, Florence, Munich, etc. its worth the three dollars for the time saved and aggregation of trying to find a bar or restaurant that doesnt have trip advisor stickers plastered on the door.
