### 1/5 — Nothing here

*2016-11-20, version 1.0.6*

Do yourself a great favor and don't  waste your time or data on this.

### 1/5 — Horrible apo

*2016-08-01*

Downloaded and right away it wanted $2.99 I could not even view the app it is the worst it is the same info I got off the web. Don't download!  I want a refund.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-05-30, version 1.0.4*

This app seems to have no purpose. It also has typos, including "Gran Canyon". Pretty bad if they can't even spell the name of the place right.

### 1/5 — Soooo Worthless!

*2016-04-03, version 1.0.4*

Nothing here you can't find for free on the Internet, so save the $2.99. You'll kick yourself if you don't heed the horrible reviews.

### 1/5 — Piece of crap

*2016-03-29, version 1.0.4*

App is a waste of time
And a complete piece of crap. Avoid $2.99 for "full maps" . Get a life!

### 1/5 — Expensive, low quality and veneer-thin detail

*2016-03-09*

Bought this for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. Paid to unlock and download maps and guides for Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and Las Vegas Strip. Utterly appalled by the low resolution/ quality and detail-lacking maps which appear to be mere photos of proper maps. Vast majority of other images appear low-grade and grainy. The so-called 'guides' are veneer-thin in detail. For the price of unlocking the various content packages, there are better apps and guides available - save your cash and hopefully this will assist you in making a more informed choice.

### 1/5 — Not Worth the Price

*2016-03-03*

The listing suggests that there are maps & specific information useful for a visit.  It looks free but charges for more information.  Maps have very little detail.  As a 5th grade project it would have gotten a B-, or maybe a C.  After reviewing all the pages I deleted it as worthless.

### 1/5 — Visitor

*2015-10-10, version 1.0.2*

Rip off you should return my money

### 1/5 — Not a Grand Canyon app

*2024-07-09*

Scam app showing a Priceline website with local overpriced hotels, nowhere near the Grand Canyon and no info about the park or lodges. Maybe it recently changed.

### 1/5 — Photos are from Bryce Canyon NP

*2020-06-03*

The photos are all from the wrong National Park and the geological overview is written for a little child: most adults who grew up outside of the United States could share as much information. 

Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Completely useless without the upgrade

*2019-11-07*

Go elsewhere unless you want the upgrade. I downloaded REI for free. much better than the free version of this advertisement app.

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2018-11-12*

Downloaded this app on our way to the Grand Canyon only to discover that as soon as you try to open any item it forces you to upgrade for $2.99. I don’t have a problem with paying for an app but I do have a problem with the app developer misleading the public by advertising it as free then forcing you to pay for it. Apple should not allow this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry your experience was not as expected. As you may know there are many revenue models within the apps and we have decided to use the freemium model (free to download with locked content). We have never implied anything other than that. Even if you look at the app store page, it says that the app contains In App Purchases and it shows a price for each one of them. 
On the other hand, if you are not happy with the product we can always process a refund. Please email us to contact@etips.com and we can work it from there. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience that this might have caused you.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-08-17*

Only way you can see a map is with the upgrade… 
There’s plenty of maps online… Thought this one would be helpful to use off-line… Oh well
They could at least show you one map to see if you wanted to upgrade to the full version…
Don’t waste your time with this one

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. We are working on your suggestions and will update the app as soon as the work is done. Thank you.

### 1/5 — No good without paying.

*2018-06-19*

Very deceptive. Gives brief overview for free. Anything in depth (probably the reason you would want this app) you will need to pay for the upgrade.

### 1/5 — Don’t even waste time to download it

*2018-03-04*

It asks u to upgrade when u click every page. Completely useless...

**Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Either buy the upgrade or avoid completely

*2018-01-27*

App will ask you to upgrade every page you click. Either buy the upgrade or find another app. I’m deleting.

### 1/5 — Do not use this app!

*2017-05-25*

Total waste. Asks you to upgrade for $2.99 for full maps. Not interactive and doesn't keep track where you are. No value at all.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2017-02-27*

This app is worthless unless you buy the "full" version. There's like 5 images, and the text is hard to read. There's no guide, trails, or any useful information for tourists. You have to download maps for offline use but they are not free.

### 5/5 — Grand Canyon National Park

### 5/5 — Grand Canyon

*2025-06-22*

Beautiful pictures and a beautiful site of Arizona.

### 5/5 — Locations ?

I enjoy the photos, where are they located?

### 5/5 — Abusivos

### 5/5 — Beautiful place. Excellent trip.

*2019-02-28*

I downloaded this app just before my trip. I was not sure what to expect about it. Ive had some suggestions from friends who have been in the Grand Canyon before but it was my first trip wo this place. This guide was helpful in a way that it showcases the most interesting places to visit and plus it comes with maps about circuits.
We spent 3 nights ina cabin and we used this app to book 2 experiences. The helicopter tour is magical, top notch and highly recommended to those willing to see this magnificent place from above.
Im looking forward to continue my trip to LA now.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback ❤️

### 5/5 — Grand canyon trip

*2017-04-18*

Really enjoyed while spending 5 days within grand canyon boundaries.

### 4/5 — I am there

*2025-01-14*

Need trails on here and your app would be fantastic.

### 3/5 — Font problem

*2019-04-02*

Font is to small and color can be darker to read easily

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We will work on this for a future version 👍

### 2/5 — Just a Sales Tool for Tours

*2024-11-14*

This app just pushes tours and puts minimal effort into the sections of the app with information about the canyon itself - they didn’t even bother to use accurate photos of the Grand Canyon, but instead are using photos from entirely different parks (Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon) when talking about the Grand Canyons Geography and Geology……. Just going to google tours and use the official National Parks app for information instead.
