NOTE: Some apps are 70MB, so don't download these to your mobile while abroad, as international download charges are outrageous (unless you use wi-fi). It could easily cost you hundreds of dollars to download one guide! If you have an unlimited data plan with your mobile contract, you should be ok. The files take a while to download, thus it's worth downloading them to your computer first, so you can keep using your iPhone at the same time.
Apple provides full step-by-step guides if you need them, but the process should be simple.
Be sure that you check on the lefthand side of the page to make sure that it says 'free' before downloading.
What about roaming charges?
The apps are fully functional offline meaning you don't need to access the web, so if you're abroad there'll be no overseas roaming charges. However, it's best to switch data roaming off in your settings anyway, to be safe.
Lonely Planet has answers to some common questions about the apps here.
Lonely Planet has also made its Compass City Guides for Android available for US$0.99 in the Android Marketplace for a limited time.
