The app is good, with interesting articles about where to go go and what to do. A lot of it centers around shopping. I thought the “Near Me” feature would have been more robust too. Hopefully it will keep improving, it’s got a good start!

A helpful supplement to google maps
Aku917
As of October 2013, the google maps English POI database for Seoul is lacking. iTour Seoul helps fill that gap with lots of listings for restaurants and attractions. The feature that lists attractions near your current location is especially nice. The built-in maps feature is useful but nowhere near as good as google maps (they would be better off putting their own POI layer on top of Google or Apple maps). One warning: there are some errors in the database. One restaurant's address was close but not exactly correct. And the address for gwanghwamun square was correct but the mapping function directed me to Seoul city hall plaza instead.

Free AND built-in content!

Although this is not the most perfect travel app, it's definitely worth downloading as its absolutely free! Plus all of the content is built in, so you don't have to worry about additional charges from using 3G, except for the real-time transportation information, which you need internet for. But I don't mind, because everything is free anyway! :)

Outdated information, bad maps

I liked the location-based searches that the app offered, so I downloaded it to help me find restaurants whenever I was in a neighborhood and without a specific place in mind. I used it twice. The first time, the restaurant I decided to visit was no longer in business. The second time, the address and map location were incorrect.Not only does the information need updating, it needs enhancing -- there are no hours listed for the restaurants (no even "lunch only" or the like) and there needs to be more details (e.g., 2nd floor of Hanhwa Building).
