Fantastic App

We are a family of 4 kids age 12 and 14. Coming home from NC we traveled from Cherokee to Roanoke VA on the Blue Ridge Parkway, then did the Skyline drive. This app kept the kids fully engaged in the adventure and was a fantastic addition to the scenery. Will be using this on any and all future road trips.

Blue Ridge Parkway Audio Did Not Work!

I purchased this but we never had consistent Verizon cell service to be able to use it while actually driving tbe Parkway.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about the service issues you encountered. Our tours are designed to function offline once downloaded. For future travels, please try downloading the tour content in advance to avoid similar problems. We hope you give us another chance to enhance your journey.

Complete waste of time and money

I’ve used other apps for GPS audio tours this one was a complete waste of money and the most confusing when trying to use the manual function It only works if you start at their start location, it doesn’t list individual overlooks or even mile markers to help get the information, which would be beneficial for those traveling North to South. We’ve used other tours that know where you are by GPS and play the appropriate information for where you are located in the Park. That’s what I thought this one was it is not! I missed a good amount of our drive trying to figure out how to find the info I thought would play automatically while we were driving along.

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback! The stories should play automatically regardless of where you are in the tour, so this sounds like an unusual glitch. I will pass this along to our tech team to investigate. Were you able to contact our 24/7 support team for assistance? They are usually able to resolve such issues if they arise. Also, the tour should work from wherever you are along the route. Can you email us at support@actiontourguide.com

Please release next part!

We really loved the trip up to Asheville — and we’re so disappointed that it couldn’t take us up to Raleigh and beyond! The kids loved it! We’ll be doing part of the Blue Ridge Parkway again next year and I hope the second part is available by then.

Response from developer

I’m so glad you and your kids had fun on the Blue Ridge Parkway! We are indeed working on the final part of the tour as I write this, and it should be ready by next spring! Thanks again.

NOT USER FRIENDLY!

I feel like I wasted my money! The informational pop-ups never happened. It only seemed to possibly work if you started it at the beginning of the parkway? We started from the south near Asheville, and downloaded the app as we were driving. It’s map, wHich is basically Google maps, tracked us but no information ever popped up. You could play the audio segments from a list, one at a time, and they were minimally interesting. Overall, it just wasn’t helpful.

Response from developer

The tour is only one-way for now (must end in Asheville), but you would have still heard all the stories, just backward. Instead, this sounds like a location issue — since the audio stories automatically play based on your GPS, if location permissions were denied (or if a different route was followed) then the stories would not have played. Since your trip is over, I’m happy to help by exchanging this tour or helping in some other way — please reach out via the contact info in the app!
