Seems like Lonely Planet is continuing the freebies… It's Cape Town today!
No idea how long this one will last for… so you might as well get it now.

  • Not yet available - like the Prague one comes up with 'modified' error. Which probably means it'll be released in a couple of hours.

    • Yeah, found that one out about a minute after posting.
      Still, I'll hang around for it… Hoping the Amsterdam, lisbon and Barcelona ones get "updated" soon too
      :)

        Yay hopefully we can have seperate deal posts for each of those too… Not.

          I like the separate deals, otherwise I'm sure id miss them.

          I cant be bothered reading through every single comment here.

          I actually don't mind having separate deals. They get released at different times, so they can't really go under the same post. If they were all released on the same day, it'd be a different manner.

          I like to travel and so love having the offline maps of the cities I go to, so really appreciate these freebies.

          i dont mind the seperate ones either to be honest. i've downloaded the melbourne and new york ones and been very happy with the content. i can see how they normally sell for $8 (New York is no longer free btw!), pretty useful. definitely deserve their own posts here.

  • what's up with Lonely Planet giving out free city apps lately? anyone heard of anything?

    • they probably have a work experience student in working on app updates…

  • prolly updating for 2011
    so giving the old ones free

      Again - LP do not charge for updates. They're just generating interest. This has nothing to do with the 2011 editions.

  • I don't know… they stated they're updating the UI… but it seems strange that they'd need to reduce the price for that.

  • Trying to download it, but I get a popup saying that my account will be debited for this purchase. I normally only get this when an app actually costs money.

    Also, anyone have any idea what the 5.00% (with a little coloured circle) means below the posting?

    • i think it's money back co. Probably tagged on their cause the link says apple. I sure didn't select it to be added on.
      It's a bit weird though. Why mention 5% off if something is free?

      • No, I've seen this on some of my postings as well. Have no idea what it means.

  • I'm still getting the item being modified error message.

      Check back again in about 3 hours (1pm CST, 2:30pm EDST)

  • It's available to download now.

    Got it - Thanks for the post!!

  • thanks! i've gotten the last few that have been posted and would hope they keep getting posted separately. when they had the Europe ones for free after that Volcano, I got all of those too! Quite the collection now! :D:D:D

  • Needs OS4…bummer

    • Update your firmware? There are several other advantages to do so.
