The thing is they are marketing it for Spain (or European travel) in their video [0]. Maybe because Spain, France and Italy are in the top 4 travel destinations world-wide along with the US...
The focus of my critique (rant?) is that the presentation video only shows:
1- Ignorance about the destination with so many clichés and misleading stereotypes.
2- disrespect for many locals (like me)
> I'll be the one to tell you that the world is larger than the US, EU and UK
Brilliant observation, but if you are marketing your app for European travel, don't mislead travellers showing goats in a Barcelona street and show respect for the locals.
> The assertion that having data is a perfect replacement for an offline travel guide is a bizarre one.
Where is that assertion? It's a personal preference. As you may know there's not a single/universal way of travelling, there's also people that might prefer a satellite phone... Your preference of connectivity is irrelevant, but for many people having free wifi/4g renders this offline-first app useless in european soil.
Whenever I've visited the americas (north/south) a working SIM with a data plan has been enough for me...
