What the Press is Saying About NFT iPhone:
New York Times: "...the guide highlights neighborhood amenities like
bicycle repair shops and community gardens."
LA Times: "The Top Picks are invaluable...the NFT guide is both
snarky/fun and inviting...a welcome alternative to the $9.99 (and up) iPhone app price tags on other city guides."
ZDNet: "A good investment if you don’t want to be "That Guy" opening a huge map in the middle of Times Square."
Jaunted: "You'll be instantly comfortable navigating the app by fingertip; it's almost as if the books were designed
based on the app and not the other way around."
