Great tour
Very helpful guide! We would miss all the “diversions”if it wouldn’t be for this tour. Drove all over Big Island. A lot of useful and interesting information. Thank you!
Andrew in the back seat
With his sense of humor, great stories and insider information, we had so much fun exploring the Big Island with Andrew. Well worth the money!
Informative But Only Works In One Direction
The app is informative when it worked. It’s designed to work in a counterclockwise direction (which was not explained in the app description) and we traveled in a clockwise direction from Kona to Hilo to South Point and back to Kona, so it didn’t work well for us. Also, the narrator (author) was too cheeky.

Stuck in a loop upon first launch
This app would not even load properly. It is stuck in a continuing loop of “check your internet connection” popup messages.
Good idea

You want this app
The house we rented included a copy of the Big Island Revealed guidebook, which was full of great information. I decided to check out the app. We didn’t regret it. I wish I knew about these travel guides when we were on Kauai. The driving tour is just fantastic. The book includes the same information, plus a LOT more, including very frank reviews of restaurants and resorts.
Wherever I travel in the future, I’ll be checking to see if there’s a Revealed book and app for it.

Highly recommended
Wonderful descriptions of high points, history and culture of Hawaii extremely well integrated into the phone gps. Great material presented and great software!
Best Money Spent
Ok first time in Hawaii on The Big Island. Husband and I are not wanting to break the bank paying your guides. I had already bought the Hawaii The Big Island Revealed and just made sense to use his app also. All I can say I wow!! Worth every penny we spent on the trip and the best money spent on the trip!!!

Like having a back seat Sherpa!
What a delightful experience, to tour the island with an expert insider! We will be recommending this app to all our Hawaiian traveling friends and relations. Thank you, thank you!
Personal tour guide
How fun that our tour guide comes to life every so often. We learned so much about the history of the island and visited places we never would have and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Made our first trip better
We had a week long trip and without the app we were probably going end up repeating a beach day on our final day instead we found so many more things. This app is excellent for those not sure what they will do on the big island.
Absolutely Must Have
This guide is the best app I’ve ever used for travel! The descriptions are excellent and in-depth and personal. This took us to intriguing locations that we never would’ve thought of stopping at and helped us interact with people in a way that we never have. He has done all the work for us and we do not have to do any research. We just hit driving mode and off we went. It was worth every penny in the first five seconds.

Andy is a great travel buddy
We absolutely love the Revealed travel guides published by Andrew Doughty. He is thorough, knowledgeable, interesting, and as my wife says, snarky funny. He gives us insights into the islands that we wouldn’t get anywhere else. He also has a great voice to listen to as you’re driving along absorbing the sites and the information he’s passing along.
We started with his Kaua’i guide on our last trip to the islands, which led us to purchase the Big Island guide for our current trip. Two friends from England joined us for part of the stay. They also loved Andrew‘s tour guides. They bought one for each of the two islands they visited after they left us, Maui and Kaua’i.
Andrew Doughty does a great job with both the spoken and written words in his travel guides. We especially enjoyed his description of the navigation heiau on the north end of the Big Island. His discovery of the meaning of the rocks in the heiau was fascinating. He’s a smart guy, and we feel enlightened by having him along with us on our visits.

Aloha and mahalo John & Kathy for your 5 star review, your kind words and for being a loyal fan! We are so glad you had a great time on the Big Island with Andrew as your guide. He really is just like that in real life!

We appreciate your support of our products. Mahalo and a hui hou
Just amazing!! Outstanding!
We saw so much more than we ever would have! Been to the big Island 4 times and knew hardly anything until we had Andrew as our driving companion! Thanks for the extra hikes! We were exhausted. When Andrew says take a left here “it’s mandatory”, do it!! This guide does not disappoint. We have been fans of Hawaii Revealed from day one. 35 years of visiting the islands every few years makes having the latest revealed info mandatory and the driving tours deliver! Next year, Kauai and we are already looking forward to the audio tour. Thank you!!

My wife and I have traveled to the Big Island multiple times. We found this app on our most recent trip. We enjoyed the commentary and tips. We highly recommend this app.
A great travel companion!
We love having Andrew as our copilot for touring the islands. Lots of great stories, funny anecdotes, and great suggestions for things to see off the main path.
Outstanding
This app is an informative and fun way to explore the Big Island for adults and children. We really enjoyed the added culture, history, and practical information provided. This is a nifty use of GPS that starts narration as you drive to points of interest. We felt we were on a big bus tour with an expert guide without the big bus hassles and expense.
Excellent 5 Star app.

Excellent guide!
Andrew is a great tour guide! His dry wit keeps you listening and he truly has explored all the nooks and crannies of the island. There is nothing that was untouched. He has so much information in the guide that it is overwhelming at first. But relax, sit back, and let his dulcet tones guide you. He’s the sort of guide that you wish you could hang out with and go exploring with.

Best travel experience of my life!
This guide has a perfect balance of historical, anecdotal and sight seeing information. The narration is so on point that now I think we are friends. Andy is my boss ;)
Great app with occasional audio issues
We love the app. The on-the-spot audio makes it feels like we have a personal guide on the drive. Really appreciated the great information about the island. However, sometimes the audio would appeared to be playing but no sound would come out of it, or just cut off in the middle of the narration. This usually happened where cell phone signal was low or not available. There is no option to download all recording ahead of time, which may make this app even more useful.
