Contact Diaries
Contact Diaries is the App that I will be reviewing today.
This is my first attempt at App review and all thanks to my friend Rahul. If
you guys like it I will do reviews of Apps every week with my recommendations
and Rating.
Summary
This App is a must have for all Mumbaikars. It gives
details, reviews and maps of all the places in Mumbai, whether you want to know
which restaurant to go to or which movie to catch. All you need to do is go to
the app. The app is a wish come true for a lot of shopaholics as it shows
offers and deals currently running around the city.
Rating
The App gets a 4 star rating, as a few features are missing
such as check in and taxi and rickshaw meters. One more thing only Mumbai and
Goa cities are active as of now, others are expected to be updated soon.
Price
Free
This is the best part, as I was not expecting a good app to
be free.
Features
The first impression about the application I got was that it
looks very confusing, but spend some time with app and you realise the
developers have taken pain to make it as simple and user friendly as possible.
The question here is have they succeeded in doing so, and the answer to this is
YES.
The feature list is exhaustive, as the app has classified
the details in 7 categories, which makes it easy for users to search for what
they are looking for. The 7 categories are
Restaurants which has details of practically all restaurants, bars, cafes and much more.
Lifestyle which has details of book shops, clothes shops,dance and cooking classes and shopping in general.
Travel gives you details of hotels, airlines, cabs and everything you need while travelling.
Entertainment gives you details of movies running their timings and which cinema hall can you catch it in. It also gives you details about plays, shows, art galleries and art shows running in town, and much more.
Business gives you details about various business establishments, professional services you may need and much more.
Education gives you details about colleges, schools and coaching classes as well.
Healthcare gives information about hospitals, clinics, doctors and much more.
The app uses your location to provide information about places around you. The location can be changed as per your liking. You get user reviews about places and also images clicked by users so you can make your call whether to visit the place or not. If you like the place you can share the details with friends on Facebook, twitter, BBM if you have a BB or email it so a lot of options to share. Dont know where the place is, no problem check it on the map rite from the app.
