About this app

U.S. Lighthouse Guide is your offline companion to more than 800 lighthouses across the United States. Explore the coasts and the Great Lakes, dig into the history and details of each light, and keep a personal log of the ones you've visited.

EXPLORE THE COAST
• Browse lighthouses state by state, each with photos and rich descriptions
• Detailed records: location, history, characteristics, and visitor info
• See where each lighthouse stands on the map

LISTEN, HANDS-FREE
• Tap the speaker icon on any lighthouse page to have its history read aloud — pick your voice and speed in Settings
• Podcast-style mini-player: pause, resume, or skip back and ahead a sentence at a time
• Keeps reading while you browse other tabs or with your screen locked

KEEP YOUR LOG
• Log visits, favorites, and passport stamps
• Add your own notes and visit dates
• Watch your progress grow state by state

BUILT FOR THE ROAD
• Works offline — lighthouse data, history, and main photos are bundled in the app (live maps and full photo galleries need a connection)
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking

Whether you're a lifelong "lighthouse bagger," chasing passport stamps, or just planning a coastal road trip, U.S. Lighthouse Guide helps you discover, find, and remember the beacons along the way.

Ratings and reviews

This is an awesome app so far (haven't used it while traveling yet but for research and adding lighthouses I've been to). One issue though: none of the pictures ever load on my app. I click to look at pictures and get a forever loading icon instead. I'm using a Galaxy S7 Edge on Verizon if that helps. It's running Android 8.0.0 and has all avaliable Verizon updates installed. The app itself is up to date.

My wife and I DON'T like that the app keeps asking permission to access all of our family google accounts! There is no need to access, and we keep denying it, but it keeps sending us requests! This is VERY intrusive and annoying! We live in a cyber world of data and identify theft and these apps can operate without needing your email accounts and access to your personal info. Very dissatisfied and disappointing!

Great app to have. The only thing thats missing is in the descrpition a mention as to whether the lighthouse is still active.

What’s new

Tell us about a problem from inside the app — tap the new button beside the photo count on any lighthouse to suggest a correction, or use "Suggest an update" in the More menu for anything else. Both open a pre-filled email draft, or copy the report to the clipboard if you'd rather send it yourself.
