This app is really cool

Great app!

### 5/5 — Amazing Experience!

*2012-01-02, version 1.0*

Fantastic app! You get to experience what it's like to hike the Kilauea Iki trail at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Great historic videos of past eruptions of the volcano, along with 360 degree views as you hike along the trail. It's a must-buy for volcano and/or Hawaii lovers!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

### 1/5 — Old app

*2024-11-16, version 7.1.3*

Only gives three basic trails catered to tourists. Not an app for backpackers looking to explore the park. Was a really disappointing considering I had to pay for something I will never use.

### 1/5 — Boring and hard to use.

*2013-03-06, version 3.0*

We didn't like the app.  Too much information we didn't need. Felt overwhelming instead of helpful.

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2022-11-16, version 7.1.3*

I was hoping to see live cam view.

### 4/5 — Love it, but add more plants!

*2013-03-23, version 4.0*

Plant guide and trail guide are amazing. More trails are coming soon which is sweet, but I'm into the plants! Add more if possible please and it'll keep getting better ratings. All in all, I love the app!

### 5/5 — Great app but needs to be updated!

*2015-07-22, version 5.0*

I think this app is very good but please update it to include the "coming soon" hikes.  As of now there are only three hikes available.

### 5/5 — Cool!  Very nicely done.

*2014-04-22, version 5.0*

One of the best National Park Apps Iʻve seen! Love the new eruption timeline.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2013-12-02, version 4.0*

This is the best app on my phone and iPad. Totally recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Volcano

*2013-07-29, version 4.0*

Your app added a lot to our understanding of the volcano(s) and the volcano-related ecosystems within the park.  The discussions of the trails were also most helpful

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2013-07-20, version 4.0*

Leading a school trip - nice to have plant pronunciations on audio!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2013-05-22, version 4.0*

Very well done.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2013-03-28, version 4.0*

The amount of content, beautiful graphics, and great sounds really impressed me. I was able to relive my visit to the volcano from a few years ago, but it also showed how much i missed. I wish I had this app when I was there, or even before I went.

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2013-03-19, version 4.0*

A full immersive experience of a remote location... I've already spent hours exploring the trails. Love being able to find things on the trail and travel back in time to see flowing rivers of lava!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2012-12-16, version 2.0*

I visited the Hawaii Volcano National Park on many occasions. This app takes me right back there. This is amazing!

### 5/5 — It's like you're actually there .......

*2012-11-12, version 2.0*

........  very educational and fun!
