### 2/5 — Not complete

*2025-11-07, version 7.0.3*

More of an advertisement than a true NP app

### 1/5 — Not the official park service app

*2025-01-28, version 7.0.3*

This is not the official park service app

### 1/5 — RV Parks

*2025-01-07, version 7.0.3*

Can’t find them on this app

### 1/5 — Difficult to use and understand

*2024-09-25, version 7.0.3*

Very little navigation of the app support . Can’t delete items easily

### 3/5 — Mapping app

*2024-07-17, version 7.0.3*

The mapping part of the app does not work. You cannot plan a trip.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-10-18, version 6.0*

Plenty of content, but not easy to find when creating a “trip.”
Can’t see all “Favorites” or “Want To Do” on a map.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-09-08, version 6.0*

Just found this amazing app. Soooo much information. Highlights all the wonderful things to do and see in our country’s national parks.

### 2/5 — Too much

*2022-03-24, version 6.0*

I only want to keep track of which National Parks I have visited, not monuments. It runs very slow.

### 2/5 — Trip dates don’t sync correctly

*2022-02-23, version 6.0*

After saving my trip dates and activities the listing of my trip on Upcoming Trips has the dates beginning the day before and ending a day early. Trip start is the 17th, Upcoming Trips has it start on the 16th. Kinda confusing.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-09-19, version 6.0*

Very well documented thanks
