User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's detailed historical information, accurate mapping, and engaging tours related to the Berlin Wall, making visits more meaningful. However, many highlight significant privacy concerns due to the app's intrusive permissions request for full file and media access, which appears unnecessary for a map-based app. Multiple users report that denying these permissions leads to crashes, severely affecting usability. Additionally, the app lacks modern navigation features and sometimes crashes during data downloads. Despite these issues, the app remains valuable for those interested in Berlin's history.

Cons

Users question the legitimacy of the app requiring access to personal files and media.
Data package download causes the app to crash on some devices.
No Google Maps-style directions, making tour routes harder to follow without data connectivity.
