Ratings and reviews

This app is ill-conceived and idiotic. It's meant to give you audio tours of places like national parks, and knowing such places often don't have signal, they let you download those tours ahead of time. Problem is, the app needs to connect to the internet to boot up even if it's been no more than 2 minutes since you last used it, rendering it utterly useless in all the places it's meant to be used. Dev then replied to my review, claiming falsely that they did not program their app in this way.

As one reviewer stated, even if you download the material ahead of time, the app continues to try to connect before playing when you're in the middle of nowhere, freezes and then closes. Tried to listen to Garden of the Gods several times over wifi before and after going to the park and the app kept closing. Definitely has a lot of kinks to work out still. I already uninstalled.

Done 2 tours on this app so far, both in Utah. Really fun. One tour had awesome driving music between the points, the other didn't. One tour's mileage and time was wrong - The Transcontinential Railroad - it said 31 miles and 2 hours. It was over 130 miles and 4.5 hours. Follow the tour instructions - download it first. Bring the spare tire, food, etc. We're hoping to do more tours soon.
