### 2/5 — Poorly designed app

*2026-07-22, version 10.6.1*

Everything’s hidden in menu structure. App mainly just opens webpages of the different activities/restaurants. No point in opening the app, just ask someone instead.

### 5/5 — Prawns

*2026-06-26, version 10.5.1*

it has good bus map and good cooked prawns for $24 (in 2026) at the fish and chip shop at the marina

### 5/5 — HI App

*2026-06-21, version 10.5.1*

Fabulous app everything you need to know and some.  Thankyou

### 5/5 — Everything in one place

*2026-06-12, version 10.5.1*

This app is so handy while on the island everything at my finger tips and while planning my daughters 18th we are coming to celebrate!!! yah

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-09, version 10.5.1*

After staying at the island for our honeymoon 3 years ago and once more two years ago (each time we come back home having loved it) we booked another 3 night stay for our anniversary.
This time we found the island looking like it was poorly maintained. Grass overgrown, pathways with tree branches hanging so far over we had to walk through gardens to walk on the road. 
Then the honeymoon we stayed in was dated and the bed in the master was so lumpy and worn that we could feel the springs through the mattress when lying down. It was so bad we ended up sleeping in the second bedroom.
My wife wrote a response to the email from the island asking how we enjoyed our stay, 4 weeks later not even a reply with an apology. 
Huge disappointment and we will be finding a new holiday destination for our anniversary.
Maybe Hammo isn’t that special destination anymore.

### 5/5 — Informative- told us everything we needed to know

*2026-05-31, version 10.5.1*

Great app after just a few hours, we relied on it completely.

### 5/5 — Addicted

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2026-04-21, version 10.5*

Great app if you are staying or planning to go to Hamilton island. Can find out everything you need to know

### 5/5 — Easy To Find Whatever You Need

*2026-04-16, version 10.5*

I love using the HI App. It’s so easy to use and has everything you need to know about Hamo. From booking restaurants, viewing menus to booking trips to the reef - how easy is that. Love that everything you need is in the on spot.

### 1/5 — Really poor app

*2026-04-01, version 10.5*

Difficult to navigate and wrong phone numbers etc
