Error

Beautifully presented app but when I try to tick certain animals it cuts out and I have to restart

Limited functionality, beautiful app

I downloaded the app for the rave reviews about offline maps, etc.

Yes the maps are offline, but there is no live navigation function (ie, you cannot set a route and follow it, your location is imposed over a static map)

That said, the typical routes are described, and this is more akin a book, albeit with your live location pinned to the page.

We started logging our sightings. We finished the mammals, but halfway into the birds, after using this app only 30mins, it has started crashing. iPhone 16, latest updates, no reason for this to happen.

Leaving disappointed.

App failed

Was initially great. Downloaded maps, but the failed day 1 of our trip. Wouldn’t open. Tried to reload whilst in Kruger and back in UK. Nothing

Kruger on your hand

Excellent app! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent!!

We have just returned to the UK after 11 nights in the Kruger. I found this app really useful for navigating the loop roads (I downloaded the live location map before we left). The loop roads can be quite confusing when using the park maps, but this app made it so easy. I also loved how it gave more detailed descriptions of the camps and accommodation- much more detail than on the San Parks website. I need an app like this for Etosha next… thank you!! :-)

Stunning

I’ve tried other apps for exploring Kruger and they were basically a waste of time and money. This one does exactly what I want - Nice job!

App crashing

Anytime I open the app it crashes
Absolutely ridiculous to deal with since it costs so much

Family Share

Good day.
I purchased and downloaded the app and want to share it with my wife and daughter, how can I share the app with my family?
The app shows Family Sharing is an option.

Great app for your Kruger safari

I used this app to track and get details about any critter I saw in the park. A wonderful resource that works offline and keeps your sightings consolidated and accessible. Had an issue where the app stopped opening but a quick email to the developer got me up and running again with no issue. Great tool for your visit to Kruger and likely mostly applicable in most of Africa.

Amazing

This app is a must for anyone travelling in the KNP.
Makes things easier in most areas.

I am however not able to open the app over the past 6 days I see the Home Screen and then it disappears and I am back on my phones Home Screen.

Great When It Works

While it worked, this app was great - it was useful for route guidance, maps, animal info, and tracking sightings; however, it started crashing right after opening the app halfway through my trip and was unusable. I tried restarting my phone, force quitting the app, etc, but nothing worked. There also was not enough cell service or wifi in the middle of the park to try deleting and reinstalling the app, so overall I can’t recommend it or say it’s worth the money.

Detailed and user friendly

This app provides access to lots of useful info in a very user friendly manner. Plus great photos !

Sehr hilfreich zur Planung

Sehr umfangreiche Infos rund um den Krüger!

A big must!

Highly recommended, this App pretty much gives you all you need for a trip to Kruger. Maps are excellent for planning ahead and the animal spotting is sufficient for most. Great value.

Great resource and service

As a lover of all things Kruger, I open this app almost every day - to look at facts about animals I’ve seen, figure out routes in the park, learn something new, and generally just think about my favorite place! Recently we had some trouble with the app, reached out and got a quick response. Our issue had nothing to do with the app, instead it was a technology issue. The dedicated team at Kruger Explorer understood our problem and walked us through the solution even though it had nothing to do with them or their product. Best customer service I’ve seen in a long time!

It’s just an expensive blog

Most of this information is accessible on Google. Except here you pay $12 + for paragraph upon paragraph upon paragraph. An app that needs a paragraph of “how to use” for every landing page is not a user friendly app. I still don’t know where to find the elephant spots or lion spots or the best times. Which time of year which animal migrates to. I guess I have to read this novel of an app first. Something I could have continued to do on Google for free. Don’t recommend. Just google

Response from developer

Hi Dacamara, thanks for the review. Sorry to hear you haven't enjoyed the app but I'm afraid much of your feedback is not fair or accurate - Kruger National Park is the size of a small country (and larger than several US States) so it is natural that a guide to the park that is unprecedented in its scope contains lots of information along with guidance on how to get the most out of it. Apple themselves kindly featured us as 'App of the Day' commenting on how user-friendly and informative the app is. Google categorically does not give anyone access to our years of first-hand experience in the park that we share in this app. Regarding the best lion spots, you can just search for 'Lion' and scroll down to 'Where to find them' in a couple of seconds and find a bullet point list alongside more detailed commentary. While we do not expect the app or even Kruger to be for everyone, this is a serious guide with information about all 3,500km of road, every waterhole and region of the park, every mammal and bird (including migration patterns) ever recorded in the park with thousands of stunning photographic images and bird audio files, and lots of other detail that helps people plan a trip that will deliver memories that last for a lifetime. We do hope you are able to find some enjoyment in the app and your Kruger experience. Best regards, Danny & Charlotte (App co-creators)

Kruger Explorer essential app

I found the app brilliant for planning routes around Kruger and identifying animals and when I hit a problem with it, Danny (the joint owner of the production team) responded immediately and in great detail. I have never received better app support. If you are thinking of a visit to South Africa you could not do better than this informative and easy to navigate app.

All in one info centre. Kruger Explorer

Maps are a winner, no need to get the eye glasses, zoom function. Roads and waterholes are easy to locate. Plenty off general info and animal identifications. Overall a worthy app to have.

Routes

So far loving the app.
Headed to Kruger in a couple weeks. Wondering if road closures in Kruger are noted anywhere in the app?

Doesn’t load after the first time

I bought the app. Used it once and now it won’t open and I can’t reliad it or get help
