You cannot plan a trip. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Review *2021-07-08, version 6.0* Very hard to work this app. Send it out to someone with intuitive skills. ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2021-06-25, version 6.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Missing important site(s), like Monticello!! *2020-08-28, version 5.3.3* Missing important site(s), like Monticello!! And, Add feature doesn’t do anything. ### 2/5 — Prices aren’t updated *2019-12-06, version 4.6.2* 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. ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2017-06-30, version 4.0* Very useful ### 2/5 — Maps don't work *2016-11-21, version 3.2.1* All I wanted the Ap to do was show me interactive maps but each time I tap on maps it quits the Ap. I also wanted to use it to find out about Yosemite but all I could get it to do was help me build a check list of things I could see there before it would give me any kind of overall context of what to look for or do there. It reminds me of a lot of other Aps where you pretty much have to know what you want without the Ap in order to have it help you with things you already know. And I get the impression that I could spend more time figuring out how to use it than I'll spend hiking there. ### 5/5 — Good app to use when you travell through parks *2016-06-02, version 3.2.1* Simple and clear app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Some info but seems designed to sell its products *2021-06-14, version 6.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Pretty useless *2021-02-23* 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. ### 1/5 — Question *2020-07-29, version 5.3.2* How do you add friends on the app?? ### 1/5 — Crashes for me too *2015-08-15, version 2.4* Three crashes=three strikes. Delete ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-08-06, version 2.4* First time I tried to use the app and load a map, it keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Nothing but prompts *2014-09-23, version 1.41* All it was was prompts to upgrade for $2.99. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-09-19, version 6.0* Very well documented thanks ### 5/5 — Trip planing made easy *2019-03-11, version 4.6.2* Planing to go NW this Aug/Sept and this app has almost all the info. needed to plan a successful trip. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2018-03-16* 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. ### 5/5 — Everything NPS at Your Fingertips! *2017-07-25, version 4.0.1* 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. ### 5/5 — National Parks rule *2017-05-21, version 3.9.1* Nice app ### 5/5 — Too many plus good *2017-04-29, version 3.9.1* Demasiado bueno ### 5/5 — Recommended by Park Ranger *2016-11-30, version 3.6.1* A very simple and easy to use app that links directions to the sites using Apple Maps. It also has a fun way of checking off sites you have been to. ### 5/5 — So Many Parks! *2016-06-03, version 3.2.1* I love to hike so this app is helpful when checking out all the great hikes around the U.S. I've added quite a few to my "to do" list and can't wait to tackle them all. ### 5/5 — Lots of great ideas *2016-06-03, version 3.2.1* Love just getting on the app and quickly finding places to eat, landmarks and easy hikes. Takes the guess work out of finding all the hot spots. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
