Frustrating app
When tapping “want to visit” it from the Alcazar Garden, took me to the veterans garden. Then when trying to navigate around the park, the lack of street names appearing on the map made it difficult. Lastly, despite selecting satellite display for the map, it would not show it. The satellite view would have made following the map a little easier.

Why still up?!
Hasn’t been updated in 4yrs, ie, abandonware. So why is this still in the Apple Store?!
Really improved
The Balboa Park only provides tons of useful information, and lets you share that with friends. Every museum is listed with cost and operating hours. There are even links to the few museums that have their own apps. There is even a find your car option.
I like that you can create an account and save favorite activities or museums. This is really useful for the iPhone smaller screen. If you have a computer or an iPad, the balboapark.org website will provide all the same information.

Out of date, messy
Too messy. If you want to see what exhibits are on, you click on the museum’s icon and go to a page about that museum. (If you tap the “Exhibits” button there you get sent back to the app’s home page.) Then you need to go to each museum’s website for current exhibit info. Food: out of place and out of date. You can’t eat at Alfred’s, it’s in the Zoo. And Tobey’s is far away in the golf course. And there’s a new place in the NAT. And you missed the place in the Fleet Science Center.
The Events section seems to be the best bet for current special exhibits - if it’s up to date… It shows opening dates only, so some may be closed already.
The narration part of the trails section is neat. It only plays when the phone is held by your ear. Move the phone away and it stops. Walk to the next location, put the phone up to your ear and it picks up where it left off.
