Timing was excellent and the narrator was so entertaining without taking away from the views! ### 5/5 — This is a must have *2020-06-12* Makes your road trip educational and fun. A must have.

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Completely enriches NP experience *2020-06-11* When we plan a trip to any National Park, we always check if there is a GyPSy guide available. Every guide we’ve used has been incredibly invaluable and we learn so much more than just from books. The guide never gives his name so my family have affectionately named him, Bob. As in, “oh Bob” (when he makes a “dad” joke). In the Great Smoky guide, we learned so much about the history of the park, the area, and the residents...plus, we heard “Bob” sing! Don’t hesitate...if you are going to any NP that has a GyPSy guide available, buy it. You will not be disappointed. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — A Trip Must Have! *2019-12-03, version 3.0.1* I can’t imagine having done this trip through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park without this app. Extremely informative and surprisingly funny. ### 5/5 — Entertaining and Informative *2019-10-31, version 3.0.1* Once again we thoroughly enjoyed a GypsyGuide narration. This time it was the Great Smoky National Park. Especially enjoyed hearing the details about how money was raised to establish this park. Our tour guide is articulate and entertaining. ### 5/5 — Excellent Smoky Mountain Guide *2019-10-21* Joey (as we called our guide) was amazing!!! We only had time for three of the four driving guides and they were all spot on, accurate and straight out funny!! Looking forward to bringing Gypsy/‘Joey’ with us on our next road trip. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — We call him Phil *2019-09-26* This was our second gyPSy guide , the first was the Rocky Mountains National Park two months ago. “Phil” adds so much to the experience of being in the RMNP and now of course the Smokies.

Not only great advice on what to see and what to look for, but great commentary on the geology and history. Our family loved listening to Ranger Dan (we named him) as we drove. Worth every cent. So glad we purchased! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour! A NEW GyPSy Guide app is now released in the App Store so you can keep and purchase all of your tours in one place.

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Perfect road trip companion *2019-09-05* I’m so glad we decided to download this app before our Great Smoky Mountain vacation! The app helped us decide which stops to make along the way as well as giving driving directions and providing us with colorful and fascinating stories. We would have missed many beautiful sites along the way without it. Will definitely be checking back to see what other road trip apps gypsy guides add in the future **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Fabulous app *2019-09-05, version 2.8.1* We used the app on a tour of The Great Smoky National Park. The app added insight and in depth knowledge of the park that we would never have known with out using the app. ### 5/5 — Great travel app *2019-09-04* We look forward to our annual trip to the Smoky mountains every year. This app enhanced that experience so much. We enjoyed the historical information, and it kept our kids engaged and interested. Can’t wait to use it again! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour! A NEW GyPSy Guide app is now released in the App Store so you can keep and purchase all of your tours in one place.

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — GSMNP *2019-08-29, version 2.8.1* I love Gypsy guides. This is my 2nd time using and it’s not disappointed either time. Easy to use. Informative and entertaining. ### 5/5 — Great guide *2019-08-16* This is my first five-star rating for an app. We used it all day to go around the national park, and it would recommend stops along the way. It’s easy to use and the voice is very clear. The narrator/guide is humorous, helpful and interesting. I’m glad we had the app. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Try and try didn’t work *2021-03-14* I had a strong signal but everything went blank when I was ready to hit the road. I did check for software update on my phone but was up to date. I reset the network didn’t work, I try other stuff and didn’t work. I wasted $9.99 but the sad part was that I could not use the application and had the experience I was hoping to get with the purchase. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you had challenges running the app. It has no requirement for network connection or signal once you have downloaded it. The app has details for simple troubleshooting and a toll free number to contact our support and we are happy to assist you. Since you did not get to experience the tour you are welcome to contact us directly at info@gypsyguide.com and we'll assist you with a refund request. ### 4/5 — Plenty of quiet time to enjoy the drive *2020-10-10* Overall pretty good. I had expected the guide to talk pretty much non stop. Might be a good idea for the guide to mention in the audio test that one the tour starts there will be quiet times between the commentary. Great for a solo traveler and I would definitely buy another tour for another park. I like how the comments synch up with the locations. There was one spot where one could really see the low fluffy clouds in the morning. I would recommend adding this info to the tour before reaching that spot “if it’s early in the day, check out the next overlook for clouds” or something along those lines. I’m glad I spotted them on my own and turned back. ### 5/5 — Well worth the cost! *2021-04-30* I would have paid twice the cost! This app made our trip to the smokies. Gypsy was informative and entertaining. Now come out with one for each of the national parks. I would purchase more of them. ### 5/5 — Smokey Mountain *2020-11-24, version 3.0.2* Love this app! Very informative! Tells you information that is right ahead so you can pull off and take pictures or go on a hike! ### 5/5 — So wonderful! *2020-11-09* This is the second Gypsy guide we have used. It’s like having your own personal tour guide and it’s so easy to use. We can’t wait to use it again. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — A GSMNP Necessity! *2020-10-25* This was our first GyPSy tour and we loved it. This is the app I’ve been looking for: we could drive around the national park and learn about park history, wildlife tips, and get recommendations for everything from easy walks to hard day hikes! Totally worth the 9.99–and this is from someone on a student‘a budget!! We can’t wait to continue exploring the US National Parks with GyPSy! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Love gypsy guide *2020-10-20* Just returned from Great Smoky National Park. Spent 5 days inside the park and loved having the gypsy guide along. We used the Yellowstone guide last year and loved it so definitely knew I wanted to use it again this year with GSNP. We call him George and love “George” guiding us around and giving us information and history. He always gets us to stop several places we would have never know. About otherwise. Gypsy Guide is worth every penny and then some. I will use it for every park it is available that we go to. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Great app, super easy to use! *2020-09-27* Just returned from the Smoky Mountains, this app was very useful! We enjoyed the direction and educational narration very much. I would like to note that Cade’s Cove is closed all day on Wednesday’s though, not open at 10am like the app mentions. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!

Happy Travels! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2020-08-04* We downloaded this on Day 2 of our 3 day trip... worth every penny! There’s more information in this ONE tour guide than we could put together from four tour books! Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t replace planning ahead, but this elevated our experience in ways we couldn’t possibly have planned, or hoped, for. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed your tour!
