Dont go to Beijing without this app!
I also just came back from Beijing and really enjoyed using this app. Before leaving, I hesitated spending $10 for this since I thought a guidebook would be enough. Taxi drivers dont speak English, period. This app is like magic. I choose my destination, press Show Taxi Card and off we go. No odd hand gestures with taxi drivers, no frustrating mispronunciations on my part, and no pointing at the guidebook. It show the exact address in Chinese which most guidebooks will not show. Two suggestions for the developer: 1) Add the following entry for translation: "Please take me to the nearest subway station". Sometimes taxi drivers will not take you somewhere that is out of their preferred service area so you may be stuck. 2) Add "Create itinerary" to make custom itineraries with selected favorites that can be ordered however you want for easier retrieval. Please make this app for Tokyo.
