Indispensable!
Just took my first trip to the Hawaiian islands, spending 12 days in Kauai. I was looking for a guide that covered everything - tourist destinations, food, transport, hikes, snorkeling, places to stay, beaches, etc. Hawaii Revealed was it! I also downloaded the audio guide for driving around the island which supplied great local flavor. The recommendations and reviews were solid, up-to-date and saved us so much time, money and anguish deciding what to do and where to eat. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I didn’t want to waste a minute or miss anything essential. Hawaii Revealed made sure I didn’t. Mahalo! Highly recommended.

Aloha Mahalo for your kind 5 star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your valuable and precious time on Kauai. We do hope you will return to soon. Aloha
Fantastic app
This is a fantastic app, especially if you are new to Hawaii. My wife and I decided to go to Maui for the first time for our 50th anniversary. We started with their book and loved it so much, we moved on to this app. It is a terrific base to start from. You learn all you need to know and can you use what you find to narrow down any other search you feel you might need. Even with the searched I did do, I found my self coming back to this time after time. Told with a touch of humor, it makes learning fun. They only problem I had was narrowing down all I wanted to to do in the time we had. If you think you know everything, then this is not the book for you. If you want help for your trip then you have to get this book

The book is better
I’m a bit disappointed by the app. I have purchased the books for the big island, Maui (2nd purchase) and kauai. Every time I tried to use the app, I found it easier to pull over and open the book. I didn’t find it super user friendly (on the go), and although I know all the info that’s in the book is on the app, it’s just not as easy as cracking the book looking at the island and seeing what’s near.

Great content, but needs to be free of reproducing the book format so much
The “blue book” for Kauai is unquestionably THE resource for travelers. Some suggestions to improve:
1) When you are in the “map” and you see a beach, you should be able to touch that name and be taken to the full description of that beach. Not have to go back to home and go to the list of beaches.
2) For restaurants, the above is especially true!
3) This app needs a much better search. There are open source cognitive search algorithms which would make finding things like “Na Pali coast trail” and give the right result.
With all the above in mind, this is still a must have app. Having integration with GPS when you’re on a trail is invaluable.

The Savages from TX
Spent nearly a month on the big island. This app was a must have and next time I’ll leave my hard copy of the book by same name, at home. One bug, when I attempt to map directly from ap map to location I have chosen to drive to, I can see myself moving along the route, but would like to hear directions aloud while driving.
