Programs for iPad: 1000 Ultimate Experiences

Do you think that have seen the whole world, if traveled to Turkey, Egypt and Thailand? You can not even imagine how many interesting things there are in the world, many interesting places and unique experiences. Talk about just such impressions, but rather about a thousand of them are designed to program 1000 Ultimate Experiences from the company Lonely Planet, known for its guides.

Annex hundred different thematic categories, each with 10 cards. Categories themselves are very interesting, here among these conventional, as "The most beautiful building" or "most spectacular natural attractions," found original and sometimes unexpected: "The strangest lunch" or "Best Places to return to the past", and the second more than the first.

Immediately after the first run the application, you will show the video from the founder of Lonely Planet Tony Wheeler, in which he will talk about their experiences, and that we must all see in life.

The main application screen - a stack of cards, one thousand cards with all sorts of interesting places all over the world. This stack is interactive, and if you hold it on your finger, then the right will appear thumbnails cards with their name. By the way, if you click on the photo, which is slightly Rasfokus right behind a stack, you can once again see the video starting with Tony Wheeler.

Once you have selected a card, for example, the dream of Ostap Bender - Rio de Janeiro, just click on it and go to the colorful pictures of landmarks, if any.

Clicking on stredku in the lower right corner, we "turn over" card and can read a short description of the sights, as well as a short board that is associated with it. Description is indeed very short, but this brevity may be dictated by aesthetic considerations and the desire to avoid scrolling while maintaining readability.

About attractions can tell your friends via e-mail by clicking on the button «Share» offers to create a new letter with already attached card. Why then do not the opportunity to share the beauty of Twitter or Facebook - puzzle have to settle for only electromail.

As already mentioned above, all the cards are divided into categories, each of which has ten sites. For example, a category which includes the said Rio de Janeiro, called the «TOP 10 places to steal a kiss». Unfortunately, the pictures often do not have enough for all the attractions, in this case the cards look the same, but the photo is replaced with a blue insert.

Very pleased with wallpapers in categories, they are different for each of them and very beautiful. To see some more visual effects, you need to click on the button in the lower left corner, which is the only one, so do not miss :) After that, you to the list of categories, which is organized in the form of the same cards, divided into small piles with signatures, the name of the relevant categories. Here again I want to note the backgrounds, which are very vivid and high quality.

In addition to cards with photos there are shared in the same video, but unfortunately is negligible, just a few pieces. Videos can be viewed as the card itself, or in full-screen mode, it uses the standard player.

The program is very nice and allows you to learn about the many interesting sights in the world, but after a short use found significant shortcomings. For example, the frustrating lack of search capabilities or filter by country, and to learn what interesting is in a particular country, you have to scroll all the pages and select their manually. You also can not add places in your favorites. As for the cards, that description might be richer, and the number of cards without pictures smaller.

application fee of $ 3.99 [iTunes link], Although at first it was available for free, but not very long. While Lonely Planet does not correct at least some of these drawbacks, the validity of the cost of the 1000 Ultimate Experiences raises questions. In my opinion, it would be wise to leave the app for free and use it as an excellent platform for the promotion and sales of the main product of the company Lonely Planet - guidebooks.
