### 4/5 — The Savages from TX

*2022-12-24, version 3.7.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Learn & laugh with this great guide “book”

*2022-02-14, version 3.6*

The depth of detail, delivered with a great sense of humor, was great in the 2018 edition book I found in the condo while in Hawai’i. Downloaded the app and bought the full online edition since I couldn’t take the book with me for the second part of the trip. Beach reports, volcano updates, reality checks on hyped places, activities, etc. And it’s funny!! Totally worth the purchase (in app) and download means it works no matter how remote.

### 5/5 — Well Done

*2022-01-12, version 3.6*

I’ve been coming to Kauai for years. I always used the most recent version of the ultimate Kauai guidebook. The info is always spot on. I simply downloaded the app out of curiosity. What an awesome surprise. The driving tour goes into so many things we never knew about the island. My parents live on the island and after day 2 they were asking if I would turn on the driving tour!

### 5/5 — Best and most valued resource one can imagine!

*2022-01-06, version 3.6*

I have been trusting Hawaii Revealed as my “go-to” Hawaii guide with absolute confidence for decades and I am always amazed how plugged in these folks are… they share everything to know from the local restaurants to the best beaches to the most desirable accommodations all the way down to where to find a parking spot in the busy areas. You truly feel like you are traveling with the benefit of a local friend at your side. They will bring your vacation experience to a whole new level. I cannot say enough about the value of this gem! Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Aloha! Mahalo for your 5 star review! We are so happy that you have trusted us over the years to help you have your best vacations on the islands. We truly appreciate your support all these years. A hui ho

### 3/5 — Poor map integration

*2021-12-12, version 3.6*

I really have enjoyed the “Revealed” series of books and apps in the past. We use them exclusively while visiting Hawaii. This version has some glitchy-ness. Any time I used the app to launch the directions to a place Apple Maps would freeze and no voice or real time movement worked. Both the app, and my phone are current with updates. The work around- open maps and get the directions separately was an adequate work around but was annoying.

### 5/5 — A ‘Must Have’ app for first time visitors to the islands!

*2021-10-04, version 3.6*

I say it’s a ‘must have’ for first time visitors, but I used to live on O’ahu and have visited the Big Island many times and I still used the app constantly on my trip to both those islands. The searchable restaurant and beach reviews alone are worth the price of the subscription. We actually own the Big Island book as well, but the app is better updated and more convenient to have in ones pocket. 

If you’re planning a trip to Hawai’i, I’d suggest using the app as one of your planning tools and then having the app available to help make decisions when those plans change or when you just don’t have a plan (the best way to visit the islands really, except you’ll probably want advanced reservations for a few things to make sure that you can do them on the day and time that you want)

If I had any gripes, it would be that the app and the reviews/descriptions aren't so regularly updated that it takes into consideration all variations that come from COVID restrictions (not the developer’s fault really), so you may want to call ahead on things that involve people and crowds, just like you’re probably already doing at home. I’d also agree with at least one other reviewer that the ‘page jump’ scrolling functionality can be glitchy and frustrating. You’ll get trained to it after a while, but I think it would be a better user experience without that functionality. 

Overall, a great app for anyone visiting the islands.

**Developer response:** Aloha and Mahalo for your warm review. So glad we were able to help you make the most of your time in the islands. Thanks for the suggestion on the page scroll. Also, a great suggestion on calling ahead on places, we also suggest that on our blog about travelling to Hawaii. We actively update the app for COVID changes, which occur a lot (as they probably do everywhere). But we are doing our very best to keep up! Hope you will recommend this to your friends and family who visit. Mahalo and aloha from us

### 5/5 — Wealth of information

*2021-09-13, version 3.6*

We relied heavily on the books and this app for restaurants and activities, and for up-to-date info on COVID-19. We learned about the Revealed books from our son; the comments were always fun to read and spot on! The app was an added bonus! We’ve also recommended these to our friends who will travel to Hawaii later this year.

### 3/5 — Good information but somewhat lacking.

*2021-09-06, version 3.6*

Good well researched information. But to someone who doesn’t know anything about Hawaii, I had a hard time figuring out where the places were that I was reading about. I had to have another phone open to Google maps to see where they were. It would be great if there were tours like Rick Steve’s app has that talked to you and told you where to stop and what you would see there.

### 4/5 — Good Companion

*2021-08-07, version 3.6*

We found the app to be a good companion to the books and were thankful to be able to get it at a discount having already purchased and read through the four books prior to our trip.

The books  are easiest but this was a great refresher as we drove around or were trying to decide on dinner so that we didn’t have to have the books at all times.

I docked one star because their website has a list of updates that are not reflected in the app and access to more current info was a big driver for me getting the app, especially since I was paying a subscription on top of owning all 4 books. 

Highly recommend the books for sure!

### 5/5 — Amazing Resource

*2021-07-01, version 3.6*

We have used Hawaii Revealed for many years and for many islands. I love having this immense amount of info at my finger tips. The insider tips are spot on and I truly appreciate the honest reviews the developers give. When many of us have a limited amount of time in this amazing place it is so important to find what suits your specific vacation wants and needs so you don’t waste  it.  Hawaii Revealed is a wealth of information from a local perspective. I will continue to come back again and again to this amazing resource for future vacations. Mahalo!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-04-22, version 3.6*

Updated review: initially the app did not work but after posting this review, they fixed the issue and contacted me. Great service from the developers and the app is incredibly helpful, even including COVID updates. 

I love these books and was really excited for the app, but when I loaded it, I tried to tap the get started button and nothing happened. I downloaded it on two different devices with the same issue. I also deleted the app and downloaded it again, but it still doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — How to feel like a local

*2020-01-31, version 3.4*

I hate being and tourist and every time I go somewhere I hope there will be an app as thorough and insightful as this one is. I’ve avoided traps, eaten the best food, seen the most amazing waterfalls, and truly felt one with each community I had the fortune of staying with. The daily beach conditions and ability to save favorites were essential. Like others have noted, you can get stuck in a rabbit hole of information (which I rather enjoy), the navigation can be a bit clunky at times, and some of the most incredible beaches are just best found on your own. 

I have used this guide for O’ahu and Maui, and soon Kauai.

**Developer response:** Aloha Akilah, Mahalo for your comments. We are glad we could be a part of your explorations and fun. We appreciate your comments on improving the app. We expect a lot of changes coming in 2020.

### 3/5 — Excellent books so so website

*2019-05-13, version 2.8*

First of all let me say that I own I believe every book about Kauai that this author has written.  In fact for my rental house I tell people to order his book and read it before they come to the island because it is so informative. The website in my opinion is not kept up to date.  I also don’t like the fact that it automatically renews unless I stop it. If it was kept up more up today I would surely recommend it.

### 4/5 — Great app, but beware of background location use

*2019-05-05, version 2.8*

This is a great app to use while in Hawaii.  If you are like most, you got it for a visit or vacation.  I noticed that my iPhone battery life had significantly shortened in the past few months.  According to the battery use as shown iOS settings, this app was set for allow location even when not in use.  This resulted in using over 34% of my battery each day.  I switched it over to share location only while in use to correct this. 

Do this once you are no longer in Hawaii or delete the app and download it again before your next visit.

### 4/5 — Great content

*2019-04-27, version 2.7*

Indispensable content on Kauai. It has much (all?) the content from the Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, which is just that. 

The app largely works well, although there are a few quirks in the interface, notably in the map, where it’s a bit hard to figure out how an area is being selected for search and in the text sections where scrolling at the end of a section slows down and then all of a sudden snaps to the next section. The latter can make reading difficult. 
 
Oddly when I first installed the app on two 2018 iPad Pros and one iPhone, the iPhone and one iPad had no problems with the App but another iPad couldn’t get past the first set of screens with the “get started” at the bottom. I deleted and reinstalled but it didn’t work. Then one day it started working for some reason. 

The developer is responsive which is a big plus.

### 3/5 — Not worth it if you already have the book

*2019-01-26, version 2.3*

I purchased the Big Island Revealed book and found it to be such a wealth of knowledge that I also checked out the app.  With all the recent changes in the Big Island with the 2018 eruption, I was hoping to find updated information from the printed book, but the sections are the same.  If you prefer an app to a book, this would be a great resource.  However, personally, I prefer the book because it has more maps and guidance so you have a better understanding of where things are.  The app has a map but you have to zoom in close to see the mile markers and you lose the view of the whole island.  I also found the book better organized for the way i personally think.  The only benefit of the app is that you can save favorites which might be easier to access on a trip instead of carrying a book with you.

I realize they did add a section on the lava flow update, but the information was provided in the free version.  I was hoping for more detailed information on how to visit volcano National Park post-2018 and where in Puna we can legally and respectfully see the effects of the 2018 lava flow.  

This is a great resource if you do NOT have the book, but not necessary if you do.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our book and the app. We were sorry to hear that you were not happy with the app, but we are confused. We have published thousands of changes on the app, mainly due to the lava flows, since the print version of our book came out. We provide some of that information for free in the app as a courtesy, but many, many more changes have occurred in the last year and are reflected in our up-to-date app. Also, you requested that the map show all the mile markers while zoomed out. Unfortunately, because the island is 4,000 square miles, in order to see all of the mile markers at the zoomed out level, we would have to cover the entire island with nothing but mile markers, and even then we would not be able to show them all. That’s why it is necessary to zoom in to see the mile markers. 

Moreover, our app is regularly updated, and the majority of our users have both the app and the book. They find the books are much better when they are away from the island and planning their trip whereas the app is more useful when they are on the island, and need easy access to our content. However, the preference of digital vs physical book differs from user to user. 

Feel free to reach us at aloha@hawaiirevealed.com if you have any additional problems. We would love to guide you on how to use the maps and find any info you require. Mahalo!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-02-28, version 2.4*

I have purchase several versions of this App.  First of all, it use to be great, but the App keeps getting more expensive and if less functional. Also, I have two devices, my phone and my iPad and it only works on my phone. They want to charge me again for the app on my ipad. That is the first time this has happened with any app. I have email them and they have also been unresponsive. The App itself tell very little and comparing what it has to offer, google maps works better, and shows more trail and the names of local beaches. Of course google maps doesn’t have a ‘write up’ on the beaches which can be very helpful. These developers just seem really greedy as I keep buying versions that were suppose to work for ever and they cancel that version so you have to buy a new, inferior version on a monthly subscription.

**Developer response:** Aloha,
The app is updated regularly, which is why we have a subscription model for one year. The app has valuable information that can be used at any time, but to have the most up to date information, you will need to download the latest version. The app is also more useful when you are on an island, as you will have the ability to see more features in action. As for the issue with the two devices, If you sign into the app with the same ID on the iPad, it should not charge you again. If the problem persists, please take a screenshot and send it to us at app@hawaiirevealed.com

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2019-01-16, version 2.3*

I purchased this after someone I met in Maui recommended it. Not only did the app not work after trying everything thing the customer service rep recommended, but they are making it a headache to get a refund. Plus, apparently it isn’t that great, because a friend who has the app tried one of the restaurants that they recommend and it was terrible. He said they got a bad salad and soggy fries. I’m always happy to support great travel guides, since I used to be in the business, and I rarely rate things, but I’m afraid that they still have some serious bugs to fix here, and should be able to give customers struggling with the app a better refund experience. Buyer beware!

### 1/5 — Stick to the books

*2018-12-28, version 2.3*

While the books are great, they make it sound like the app is a companion to the books. All this specific app does is act as a portal to the apps that need purchased. The tiny amount of free content here isn’t much different from the books, it may even be copied verbatim from the books. Even as a preview for the paid apps, this falls short. All you can preview is are lists of names of restaurants and places to visit. The hotels portion is free, but doesn’t show much difference from what you find on most travel booking sites you browse for free and the aerial views can easily be found on any search engine that shows satellite views.

### 1/5 — Didn’t Work For Me

*2018-11-05, version 2.2*

I bought the subscription on our first day in Oahu and started using it in the morning as we ventured out to see the sights. Running the app heated up my phone (iPhone X) and drained the battery. Then, after about the second stop on our “tour” the app just crashed and wouldn’t reopen. Emailed customer service and was told to delete and reinstall. Couldn’t do that since I wasn’t on WiFi (and don’t have unlimited data) so we were on our own for the rest of the day. Tried reinstalling back at the hotel and the same thing happened again after a few minutes of use.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2018-10-30, version 2.2*

I have the physical book, which indicated that certain things (like reviews of places to stay) are free on the app. Wrong! If I select the island in question, it takes me to a page where my only options are to either buy the book (which I already have in physical form) or preview the book (not helpful). There is no way to navigate away from this page, so no way to access this supposedly “free” feature. So either buy the book in physical form, with the knowledge that you won’t get reviews, or buy an electronic version on the app (which, incidentally, must be renewed yearly to continue to have it).

For an author who chastises others for being misleading, this one is doing the same.

### 1/5 — No way to unsubscribe from $7.99 annual auto-renew

*2018-06-24, version 1.7*

I  bought this app and gladly paid $7.99 to use it for our week in Maui. Then I tried to unsubscribe to avoid auto-renewing every year in perpetuity. I tried checking the app and the settings and could find nowhere to cancel the auto-renew. I’d gladly give this app 5 stars if this was easy (or even possible) to do without having to contact support. Waiting to hear back from the developers.

Update: I figured out you have to turn off auto-renewals from somewhere in the Apple system software menus. Forgot how to do it or I’d explain here. To much trouble.

### 2/5 — Book provided good information but app provided little more

*2021-08-02, version 3.6*

The app didn’t seem worth the cost. The maps are static and not interactive. Much of he information such as restaurant closures and open/closed hours were wrong. Also, some recommendations and information were lacking. For example, the Scuba company they recommended in Waikiki was horrible. They didn’t even have there own boat. They chartered a boat with other dive companies and the experience was poor not to mention leaving 45 minutes late. Restaurant closing times on the North shore were wrong. For Moana falls trail, would have been nice to know how muddy you get so we could bring different clothes and have change of clothes and towels available. I would just recommend getting he book which is just slightly better than the Fodors guide.

I don’t see a way to attach photos but after seeing your response I just checked to ensure location services were in fact turned on. I just went in to the restaurant area for example and it requires the user to narrow the searches by region, etc and doesn’t automatically show restaurants in the area. Same with sights, etc.

**Developer response:** Aloha, sorry you didn't find our app helpful. We are curious what you mean by the maps were not interactive. They are completely interactive if you have location services turned on. They follow you (the blue dot) if you are on any trail or road. They can be filtered to show what is near is as long you have location services on within your settings. There is a handy user guide under the "more" tab on the homepage of the app - FAQs. Restaurants here, like on the mainland are changing hours and days open constantly. We check and re-check all the time, but it is hard to keep up. Our app actually has more info than our book. We can't fit in all the reviews into the book, so those leftover go into the app. We are working on Oahu updates now, as I write this, but again things are changing rapidly. We have completed all outer islands - even as they change daily. Oahu has had a post-COVID run through, but we are diving further now.

### 2/5 — Wish it was more intuitive

*2018-11-28, version 2.3*

I have been a HUGE fan of the books and used them to our trips to Big Island and recent one to Maui as well. While on Maui, saw that they had an app and hoped it would help us with directions and finding places to eat wherever we were. Unfortunately, neither of these were easy. Though we had the app, we carried the book everywhere to ensure we had all the info. I wanted to love this app as much as I love the book but was very disappointed with the lack of intuitive user location based info.

### 3/5 — The book is better

*2023-01-04, version 3.7.0*

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.

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2022-01-19, version 3.6*

I love the guide in book form and was hoping this was a step up for easy on the road use. Still prefer the book: the wealth of information is still here but feels harder and counter intuitive to use. For example I wish you could just go to a map (in your area) and easily plug in beaches, restaurants, activities near you. But the map keeps changing size on its own as I try to zoom in or out and the requesting of specific info doesn’t seem possible. At best it’s counter intuitive design, at worst poor functionality. 

 I signed up for one year and will cancel right now and go back to buying the latest hard copy edition. They still got a long way to go to work out the kinks and make it easy to use.

**Developer response:** Aloha, Mahalo for your comments and great feedback! We have a handy user guide for the app. For example, finding what's near you on the map means simply touching the map and selecting what you want from the menu - say beaches - then save and all the nearby beaches will show up on the map as well as the descriptions (and ratings) of the beaches and how far they are from you. Same goes for hikes, restaurants, activities, etc. Filters can also help you find beaches, restaurants, hikes, etc. on the map within their chapters. Feel free to reach out to us at anytime at app@hawaiirevealed.com. We are always here to help. Aloha

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Indispensable!

*2023-05-23*

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.

**Developer response:** 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

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2023-02-20, version 3.7.0*

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

**Developer response:** Aloha and mahalo for your kind 5 star review. And congrats on your 50th anniversary! We are so glad to have you as a loyal fan of our products. Happy to read that you were able to find all you wanted to do so quickly in our app. We do hope you come back to see the things you missed on your 50th. Mahalo again - a hui ho

### 5/5 — Great content, but needs to be free of reproducing the book format so much

*2022-12-29, version 3.7.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Great app and Great Customer Service

*2022-10-04, version 3.7.0*

The Hawaii revealed folks were super prompt to answer questions and handle an issue with app access. Everything was resolved quickly via email and without issue. I ordered both the print book and app for an upcoming trip and found both to be extremely useful. Would recommend the app 100% to aid with Hawaii trip planning. It’s updated on the fly and even gives daily current surf conditions for each beach on the island.  If you’re a paper person like I am, I loved having the books with their nice paper maps to plan my days. Great resources and great customer service!

**Developer response:** Aloha Joey, 

Mahalo for your kind review. Glad to help in any way we could! Hope you enjoyed Hawaii and return soon. A Hui ho.

### 5/5 — I will use this app again

*2022-09-04, version 3.6*

We are a family blessed with a special needs angel. That being said, much more pre planning is required for vacations.  I stumbled across the OahuRevealed guidebook which led to their HawaiiRevealed app and took a chance—reaching out to one of the guidebook’s contributors.  They immediately got back to me and actually helped me with insight and suggestions for our unique situation. They were so warm and welcoming that I felt I knew them forever.    They are the go to people for any question—& believe me, as a special needs mom and also an RN, I asked them all. They were even kind enough to initiate communicate with Ohana Surfing Project on my son’s behalf so as to start the planning for his special day of surfing. 

No question or detail was silly and I even felt as if I had a friend in Hawaii while we were there because I asked them questions while we were vacationing. 

HawaiiRevealed app is excellent. Easily usable while on vacation by me and also my son loved that we had a “friend” helping us. 

If we are blessed enough, we certainly intend to return to Hawaii. I hope HawaiiRevealed has a guidebook and app for us to use then.  You should seen how worn the pages are from the book accompanying us everywhere! 

Evette Hitscher

**Developer response:** Aloha Evette! So happy to read your review and so kind of you to leave such a lovely one - Mahalo. Our whole company was so excited to read of your adventures on the island and with Ohana Surf Project. You really warmed our hearts seeing your son up on his surfboard. We do hope you all return soon. Aloha and a hui ho from the Revealed Guides Team

### 5/5 — A Must Have for your dream Hawaii vacation

*2022-08-19, version 3.6*

This app is the BEST.I don’t think I have ever written a review for an app, or anything else, before. But everything about this app made our trip so amazing. We also love the travel books and the driving guide app. Combined together they arm you with all you need to have the vacation of your dreams!

### 5/5 — Must have if traveling or live here!

*2022-07-15, version 3.6*

I have read through the Big island book and bought the app after because it is so helpful to search something in the moment. The book was great for sitting down to plan and the app is so great for on-the-go. The updates and surf reports built in are so helpful. We have been here for two months traveling and everything has been accurate so far. I let them know about a regulation change at a beach they reviewed, and they got back to me immediately and said they would go back and check it out. Love it!

**Developer response:** Aloha Sydney, Mahalo for your super kind review of our app! We are so glad that you are having a great extended stay in Hawaii and that our app could help make it that much better. Please keep feeding us those details you may find. We love hearing from our users. Aloha

### 5/5 — Awesome Driving Tour

*2022-04-20, version 3.6*

We just visited The Big Island for the first time and found the gps driving tour invaluable. We would have never seen, or truly appreciated, half the sites we got to see by simply driving our jeep around the island and following the suggestions provided by the guide. The detailed history of the island was also addictive to listen to as we drove. So worth the money and highly recommended. Mahalo for a great product! God Bless.

### 5/5 — A guidebook made exponentially better

*2022-04-01, version 3.6*

I’ve loved the Hawaii Revealed Books, though after a couple years they can be outdated with business changing and closing, not to mention the changing culture and laws in the islands. This app will give you some history, island etiquette ( we can all use these lessons to be better tourists), and perhaps coolest of all are the surf reports and beach conditions that are updated daily. Worth every penny. I’ve been to different islands in Hawaii multiple times and I still learned a ton from the app.

### 5/5 — An essential, all-in-one

*2022-02-17, version 3.6*

We’re finishing up our first trip to Kauai and so glad we bought this and the driving app.  We used this in our planning over the last several months. Everything has been spot on from the detailed instructions for hikes to the food reviews. It’s a wealth of knowledge, easy to use, updated daily, and well written!
