Reviews: What People Think About Insight Guides Walking Eye

Rating: 1/5

I’ve purchased a number of Insight Guides over the years that came with a free e-book version. At one point in the past it worked fine. However, for the past year (or two, with the pandemic I’ve lost track) I have been completely unable to log into the app to access them. I had originally set my account up using the Facebook login option, but now when I try to use it I get an error message telling me that it’s in “development mode” and I don’t have access. I’ve tried using the Google login and email login methods with no success either. So then I tried the support link in the app. Wrote out a whole message detailing the issues I’ve been having and what I had tried so far to fix them. And then it failed to send. I finally ended up just tweeting at the company, because that usually works if nothing else does to at least start a dialog (companies don’t like being called out publicly, funny that). No response there either. I’ve pretty much given up at this point, but shame on Insight Guides for not delivering what they’ve promised, and for failing to support their own customers. It’s enough that I’ve started leaning toward other options when I buy travel guides. Very disappointing.

The hard copy of the printed pocket guide is fine, but like another user review mentioned, I downloaded this app in hopes of just carrying around the free eBook supplement the book advertises. You do get the free eBook—but it doesn’t open in the app. You have to save it to an ePub file reader, such as iBooks. It won’t open in the Kindle app or Google Drive. Also, you’re required to sign up an account with the Walking Eye app just to download the stupid eBook, so watch out for spam from them now, ugh. Useless.

Got the Iceland book as a gift and discovered that through this app I can download a copy for free in iBooks. When I saw the reviews though, I was not expecting much. However, one major complaint that you had to give them permission to email you promotions etc is not true. After typing in my email and a password, the already-checked box says you give them permission. I unchecked the box, they accepted, and I was still able to download the book. Some of the features of the book are located in the app, but I was also, separately, able to download the complete book to iBooks. So this reader is very pleased!
