Latest reviews of Lyon Map & Walks (F) app for iPhone and iPad
The free version is the better option. I found the descriptions of the sights too basic and didnt really tell me much. Walked to one of the museums only to find out it is closed on Tuesdays--info on this would have been helpful The turn by turn directions did not work well. The app did help me get acclimated, but the free version does this just fine.
