Pros and cons of VISITKOREA : Official Guide app for iPhone and iPad

VISITKOREA : Official Guide app good for

This app is awesome! Ive been using the initial webpage so far, but the navigation on a phone is a lot easier due to the adjustments made and it still contains all the helpful categories such as attractions, accommodation, dining, etc.. with all the useful explanations. Also very helpful if you have access to internet is the map for each place that will lead you to your destination. Besides that, the picture gallery linked to detailed information comes in handy as well as the listed festivals and events. I also really like the included temple stay and korea stay infos as for me, traveling is not only staying in a nice hotel/hostel (which is fun as well, no doubt!) but actually diving right into the culture, giving you a better insight on what korea is really about. One more plus is the useful info section with literally very useful info such as important phone numbers, phrases in korean that you can tap on to listen to the correct pronunciation, banking/ATM suggestions and more. The only thing Im missing is a general idea of what the prices range from for those attractions/accommodations listed. Of course, Im aware of the fact that depending on what kind of ticket or room youre looking for it can change significantly, but it is pretty helpful for further planning to know the lowest amount before having to check each official website right away, especially when youre using your phone.

Useful! Visited korea for the first time and this app helped me find my way around and any places nearby

This is a great app/website. I am planning. Trip to visit my two friends in Seoul and this is so helpful! Its so informative! Im going alone and need all the help I can get!!! Thanks!!

Spelling of attractions etc. had to be exact for the search to work but I found the app indispensable before and during my trip to Seoul. The subway map alone made having the app worthwhile. Packed with info and helpful tools.

This app is really handy and useful, especially when you need all info in a convenient manner. All events and local visit-worth places are just in one click! Wonderful, i definitely will use it for getting the latest update regarding travel destinations and event in Korea! Thank you! Really appreciate it!

Some bad moments

I would have given it 5- star review, but after a recent update its become impossible to use this app- it crashes all the time. Please, fix this! Thank you .

I will try to eat food in Korea .. Sushi is delicious, especially if you enjoy the land at this Asian country.

There are 3 countries in eastern asia; Korea Japan China. We ve already seen a lot japan and china. Korea is like mixed two countries but totally different. People good, various delicacies, a number of site sees.. Must go there. Korea seems like austria in europe.

Sure the main tourist info is there, palaces museums shopping. But all festivals are in the past and the site has not been updated. Certain pages cannot be bookmarked. Restaurant selection not vast enough Its free its worth what you dont pay for but this will not provide enough information to see and do it all

Works perfectly fine!! I havent been to Korea(yet)and this helps me know places i should visit!!

[QR CODE] I used an older version of this app back when I lived in Seoul and never really found a use for it. Now the usability has greatly improved and information has been updated. I particularly like the banks/ATMs feature, and the markets listed have some I didnt even know about! I wish I was still in Korea so I could use this app but Ill definitely keep it on hand for when I go back!
