What's New in Great Journeys New Zealand

Under the hood improvements

User reviews

Works great now

Bluetooth connectivity and WiFi-enabled location recordings work fine. Seems like the app is updated regularly, and they’re doing a good job.

Doesn’t seem to work

Exactly the same experience as other review - enter journey details and press save only to get the endless spinning wheel. Waste of time which is a real shame as it looked really promising. Let’s see if the developer is interested in fixing this!

Doesn’t seem to work

Downloaded the app, entered journey details and hit the save button and it does nothing but show the rotating wait icon. Same response on an iPhone 14, SE and an iPad. Seems to be a waste of time.

Interesting Facts, needs improvement for handicapped people.

Enjoyable facts to listen to, but not friendly for handicapped people. Our brother-in-law is blind and was not able to navigate the menu without help.

Absolutely Useless

Won’t work without connection to train wifi —cell data won’t work. Train wifi only works in the cafe car, not in our seats. Audio will only play with headphones connected, but it does not recognize my Apple AirPods as headphones. Completely useless app.
