I had everything downloaded prior to leaving the house. Once in Lincoln I opened the app, clicked the eastbound Play button and was immediately kicked out of the app. I tried the westbound option - same result. I tried while connected to car play, disconnected from car play … it didn’t matter. The result was always the same - the app would crash and kick me back to the Home Screen. **Developer response:** We apologize for the trouble you experienced with the app, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It appears the recent iOS 18 update caused some unexpected issues, and we’re sorry it impacted your trip. We hope our support team was able to assist you further, and we’re happy to share that the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to providing a smooth experience on your next adventure! ### 1/5 — Purchaser Beware *2022-10-14* Be careful downloading this app. Great reviews, but it was a complete waste of money for me. First. It says over and over again it has to be connected to Wi-Fi to work. Your phone data plan is useless with this app. Obviously this travel route is in the middle of a National Forest where there is no Wi-Fi. I downloaded while at lunch in a restaurant thinking it would work during the whole drive. When we were just a few miles out of Lincoln it stopped working and wanted another download, but we didn’t have any connection. Almost wrecked the car playing with it and then gave up. TOTAL waste of $7 **Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that you encountered technical issues with the app. Once downloaded, it should work seamlessly whether you have cell service or not. Were you able to get in touch with our 24/7 support team? They are trained to resolve issues such as the one you describe. If you can provide us with more details, we’d love to diagnose whatever glitch may have been occurring. ### 3/5 — Great with the tech, meh with the tour *2022-10-04* I’m comparing this to the guide I purchased in Maui for our Road to Hana and while I love the ease of the downloadable GPS guided tour, there’s just need to add more to the tour. Sure there’s an optional hike or overview, but tell me why I should get off at this particular one, or the best hike for the view in your opinion. Give me a recommendation or two and WHY! Tell me what I’m seeing on and overlook and why it matters. It gives good basic information, but lacks a punch in being super helpful. **Developer response:** We appreciate your thorough feedback! We’re always working to improve our tours, so we will definitely keep this in mind for our next update of the Kancamagus tour. We hope you still enjoyed the beautiful scenery on your drive! ### 5/5 — Great guided tour *2021-10-23* I like the details explained and the geofencing was accurate as well. **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the story of the Kancamagus Highway as well as the self-guided experience. Hope you get the chance to try out our other tours in the future. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Learnt a lot *2021-08-27* We had no idea about native Americans story on this highway. The narrator is excellent. He made the whole trip very interesting. It is a straight road but you can take your time to stop, get out, take pictures. We spent three hours total. Remember, there are no restaurants. Carry some food and drinks. It was easy to use. Audio played on its own when we came to its spot. Do not drive too fast. Overall, very nice. We learnt a lot. **Developer response:** Thank you so very much for this amazing 5-star review! We're so happy that you enjoyed the Kancamagus tour and its history. The tribal stories of the region are absolutely thrilling for sure! And great tip to carry some food/drinks along. Thanks again! ### 1/5 — Won’t download *2021-07-04* Didn’t download on WiFi and LT. tried multiple times. they won’t return our money. Disappointed. Don’t recommend. **Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear that. Can you tell us exactly what went wrong? We’d love to fix it ASAP. You can email us at support@actiontourguide.com ### 5/5 — Beautiful Fall Colors *2020-09-07* Loved learning about the Native American people of the area while surrounded by nature. This guide added a lot of good context to the drive. **Developer response:** Yay!! Whoo! Thanks so much for the review — so thrilled you enjoyed the tour. The stories of the original tribes of the area are some of the best (especially their legends about the changing autumn colors!). If you’re still in the area, we have all sorts of similar tours in Boston, Acadia, Cape Ann, Cape Cod, and beyond. Thanks again!! ### 5/5 — Family roadtrip *2020-08-19* Great little drive through the White Mountains. Lots of scenic overlooks and small hikes along the way. Great stories about the stops, the histories, and the animals of the region. **Developer response:** We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Well done tour! *2020-07-30* Very lucky to have stumbled up this App. We go every year to see fall colors and just reviewing the App, gets me excited to use this on our annual trip. **Developer response:** We're so glad you enjoyed the tour!
