Needs Major Updating
The narration shared some interesting history, but the presentation used some outdated terminology regarding cultures, which was a bit jarring at times (it was very whitewashed 😬)
It would benefit from incorporating a broader range of perspectives, updating content to reflect recent major events like the Jasper fire, and including more than just the most popular stops along the route. The only sort of “out of the way” stop it included was Beauty Creek, but we’d drive by stops with signage and there was absolutely no mention of it. Compared to ShakaGuide in Hawaii, for example, it was a lot less comprehensive. With some major updates it could be really awesome. As such, we did enjoy it, but it felt pretty dated as well.

Excellent and informative
Well worth the money! Everyone in the car ages 19-82 found the narrative informative and entertaining. We nicknamed the guide Fred and missed him when we didn’t have him on. Highly recommend this download.
Canmore to Jasper and back to Calgary
Absolutely loved it! Not a dry way of telling the stories, even had few jokes . Great way to explore the history of the area once you are driving mostly.
Banff to Jasper
Excellent guide! Well worth the cost, it helped make the most of our drive through Banff and Jasper national parks.
A personal guide sitting with you through the Rockies
What a great app. Changed our experience in the Rockies completely. So many fun facts and explanations about sites everywhere along the route. 30$ well invested. We learned so much about the Rockies rich history with Gypsy. Loved it.
