Not complete

More of an advertisement than a true NP app

Not the official park service app

This is not the official park service app

RV Parks

Can’t find them on this app

Difficult to use and understand

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

Mapping app

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

Not user friendly

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

Wonderful

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

Too much

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

Trip dates don’t sync correctly

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.

Thanks

Very well documented thanks

Review

Very hard to work this app. Send it out to someone with intuitive skills.

Needs improvement

Preplanning your trip months in advance doesn’t seem to work. The app only registers activities to see & do near you. I was trying to plan a trip to another state.

Some info but seems designed to sell its products

Try searching for attractions at Yellowstone and it takes over the screen to sell you a tour for $395 and pushes it by saying “availability limited”. Don’t want guides that are just trying to sell me the developers services

Pretty useless

Not sure who this is made for but I couldn’t use it to plan a trip. No park maps or relevant trail info - clicking on a trail or hike just links to apple maps with no paths, elevations, distances or difficulty ratings. Information seems to be mostly imported from Wikipedia.

Missing important site(s), like Monticello!!

Missing important site(s), like Monticello!! And, Add feature doesn’t do anything.

Question

How do you add friends on the app??

Prices aren’t updated

Virgin Islands Park mooring balls are now $26.00 your site says $15.00.
Also there isn’t a section about where seniors can purchase a pass.

Trip planing made easy

Planing to go NW this Aug/Sept and this app has almost all the info. needed to plan a successful trip.

Helpful app

Very helpful app and provide useful information for planning your trip to Yosemite. Tech-support is very quick and problems are fixed in a timely fashion.

Everything NPS at Your Fingertips!

It has all the info I need to plan a trip to any one of the many National Parks. If there is something that it doesn't offer, I haven't found it yet.
