You won’t find much rotten in the state of Denmark, with Lonely Planet’s Copenhagen City Guide on your iPhone. If you can look past the Little Mermaid and Hans Christian Andersen, you’ll find this laidback, left-of-centre city is the coolest in all Scandinavia, and we’ve got the inside knowledge to help you make the most of your stay. From the crumbling hippy utopia of Christiana to the Renaissance fantasy of Rosenberg Castle; from the tradition of Royal Copenhagen to sleek modernism at the Danish Museum of Art & Design; and from the barest to the most baronial places to eat and sleep, you’ll find everything you need in this comprehensive little guide. Fantastisk!

This app is nice to have as you walk around the city. Much easier than carrying around a book. Plus you blend in better looking at your iPhone than staring at a guidebook. The only issue I have (& it's a big one) is the map feature is currently useless. All my lonely planet apps are having this problem right now. Try zooming, it works sometimes. Start panning around and the screen becomes fractured, showing half what you last stopped on an half what you've panned to. Very frustrating as it makes the map pretty much useless. Please fix this soon... Not just for Copenhagen but all the guides!
Decent but not worth the price. Get the book if you want to spend $16. This needs more content and features. Worth $5 tops.
Maps and resolution updated for iOS and iPhone 4! I can't wait to use this for my trip to Copenhagen. This is the quality I expect from Lonely Planet!
Half the things in this App I tried to visit were closed.. Resturants, museums, opening times etc. Very frustrating!! Definitely not worth buying until they update the guidebook.
If you're going to advertise your maps as one of the best features of the app, it better be good. The map included in the app does not have many if the smaller streets of the city listed. The rest of the app is pretty good, but the map feature was a disappointment.
For a week in Copenhagen, I downloaded this, the GuidePal app (orange icon), and the CityScouter app (red icon). CityScouter wins, hands down-- it has a great transportation locator and a currency converter, built in! Plus all the feature LP has, but better presented. The LingoPal translator app also came in handy.
