Latest reviews of TeePee Guide - Japan Dining & Travel app for iPhone and iPad
I love it! I always use it when I search some shops.
It supports not only japanese but also in chinese which is a tourist friendly app! I love it!
Not good.. wasted money.. it should have free or trial version..
I bought this for a recent trip to Hokkaido. It would be OK on an Ipod Touch in the US, but Japan does not offer nearly as many wireless hotspots as the US. So, not being able to access the internet is issue number one. Second, the search is limited. You cannot type in "sake" and find the all of the local sake breweries. If you look under the preprogrammed "Bars/Pubs" you might find something. Additionally, the reviews are very limited...most reviews are two sentences. Pretty scant, and when searching the hits come back with a kanji description (useless unless you can read kanji). On top of this, it only provides reviews for establishments in the media...Yoro No Take or Gyu Kaku will not be on the search as these are national chains, and do not garner media attention since they provide a known commodity. Bottom line, save yourself the money and stick to Google Earth, the search is just as good and it is free.
I live in Tokyo and when I want to find a good restaurant nearby, this app always delivers. I always see TV shows with the hosts visiting great restaurants and I never have any idea where they are or how to get to them. These TeePee guys figured it all out for foreigners like me who arent as in-touch with the Japanese language as wed like to be. I just open the app and follow the maps. Seems this new version also supports offline maps which I guess would be handy if you are traveling to Japan from abroad and dont want to get a crazy bill on your iPhone. Highly recommended!! (p.s. - Everything is fine here in Tokyo!)
