### 3/5 — Mostly good

*2026-08-28*

Used this on our trip to South Dakota this week and downloaded Custer state park and Badlands ahead of time. It provided good information and usually ahead of what we were about to see, however the audio cuts off prematurely quite often, and now and again when I click ‘replay’ the app had muted itself and I had to unmute it manually.  In addition using CarPlay, my iPhone would lock the screen after some time and ParkWolf would no longer provide audio until I unlocked my screen. 

These bugs made the experience a bit too frustrating in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-08-13, version 5.4.2*

Made for a great Grand Canyon experience!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-08-13, version 5.4.2*

Great app, used it in Yellowstone and it gave a great tour and kept the drive interesting and gave good suggestions on animal watching and info on hikes and distances and if the reward is worth the effort. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-12, version 5.4.2*

Downloaded the app before we went through Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Worked like a charm without internet. Guide is great for all things we needed along the route, and had a lot of information about each park. We will be using it tomorrow for Glacier National Park! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Amazing Experience

*2026-08-12, version 5.4.2*

Absolutely recommend this app! We just used it for our Yellowstone trip and it was so easy to use and super helpful. We learned so many interesting things we would not have by just driving by spots. The best part was the advance notice of pullouts and why they were significant. You also see in miles the distance to the next bathrooms, gas and services. Will not be without it for our next trips to National Parks.

### 5/5 — Great to have a tour guide

*2026-08-09, version 5.4.2*

We loved it! Added to the adventure

### 5/5 — Love Parkwolf

*2026-08-09, version 5.3.0*

This is great whether you are new to the park or an old hand. Lots of helpful info pointing out spots of interest and recommending options.

### 5/5 — Great for park info when offline

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.2*

We drove Yellowstone and Glacier and the information from this app added tremendously to the experience. We enjoyed the information on the area but also the preview of different trails and scenic points.

### 5/5 — Great info!

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.2*

We only used it for the Smoky Mountains so I can assume every park is as detailed. It’s well worth the price especially if you’re a camper, etc. Great job!!

### 5/5 — Life Saver!

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.0*

This app works off of cellular networks, which was amazing. We were able to learn about the history of the park without worrying about a paper map and reading signs. Highly recommend to anyone visiting these amazing parks.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2026-08-08, version 5.4.2*

First visit to Yosemite, App came in so handy helping navigate the park, finding the trails I wanted to take, gas, food everything. The random park facts about the rock formations and the wild life were informative and fun to listen to!

### 5/5 — Fun app!

*2026-08-07, version 5.4.0*

I will be in Cali/Oregon for 6 days and bought the app for a month so we could have a cool tour. Such a fun idea! Nice job.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-07, version 5.4.0*

Very informative

### 2/5 — Not yet in the park, but skeptical

*2026-08-07, version 5.4.2*

I've been playing with this app a bit trying to prepare for a national parks trip. So buggy and unintuitive. I'm not expecting much at this point. Disappointed.

### 5/5 — Worthwhile.

*2026-08-06, version 5.4.0*

We really thought this was a great app.  Loved being able to use it off line.  It was great for our park visits and enhanced the experience.  We would not have known what the bears were doing if not for the app.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-06, version 5.4.0*

I purchased the app on a whim from a Facebook ad. We were doing going to the sun and I thought it might be helpful. Loved the commentary as you drove thru. I’m sure the app can do more than I know but the tips were very helpful. I’m gonna use it when we go to Banff next month.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-08-06, version 5.3.0*

I cannot say enough good things about this app. We have been to several national parks this summer and this app has been an absolute game-changer. I have three kids (12, 10, and 4) and my friend who was traveling with us for most of the trip had two (7 and 4). All of the children looked forward to starting our audio guide! I loved the off-grid maps and help planning outings.

### 5/5 — Enriched the drive immensely

*2026-08-05, version 5.4.0*

So excited to have chosen this wonderful and comprehensive guide.   We were so pleased with the narrated accompaniment feom the West Gate  at Yellowstone to the exit at Gardiner.   And the tips re: gas, food, bathrooms and especially wildlife are fantastic.  Thank you for your hard work.

### 1/5 — It was horrible

*2026-08-19, version 5.4.2*

Ok we tried to use this app in Hawaii road to Hanna it was spotty and did not work right we tried to get our money back and Apple said no. So we paid for an app we do not like or want thank you Apple.

### 1/5 — Narration problems

*2026-08-13, version 5.4.2*

Narration cuts off before being done with information and also starts late. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-28, version 5.3.0*

I installed last night. I tried to use today in Custer state park. It spoke twice in 8 hours of driving throughout the park. It told about how a bird acts in early spring, and it mentioned a forest fire from years ago. Money wasted.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2026-07-28, version 5.3.0*

Does not work driving around Arcadia national park!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-26, version 5.3.0*

Says free them to use it a fee.

### 1/5 — Customer

*2026-07-22, version 5.3.0*

Not good

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-21, version 5.3.0*

Tried to use at Redwood National Park, it would not work even though we had downloaded it!! Also charged me full annual price even though I selected monthly and there is no way to cancel it. Avoid at all costs. Use National Park app instead, it’s much better.

### 1/5 — Pay. Pay.  Pay

*2026-07-17, version 5.3.0*

No information without paying

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-07-12, version 5.2.0*

I used this in Rocky Mountain national park - it worked for the first 10 minutes and then stopped working entirely- you will want a refund

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-06-19, version 5.1.8*

Hardly ever worked. Very disappointed with this app.

### 5/5 — Don’t Leave Home Without It!!

*2026-08-18, version 5.4.2*

Fantastic app with many points of information… It’s great to just turn on while you’re driving and it gives you an audio tour of the national Park. We love it!!!!

### 5/5 — Download now!

*2026-08-18*

We loved this App! It's informative/educational which was great! However the helpful hint/ tips made all the difference. With this apps help we avoided a hiking back up an uphill climb (With a toddler) by taking the advice of the app and walking an extra 2 mins down to a park shuttle. I will be recommending this to all my friends. As a flight attendant I often had a limited time at the parks, this app helps you see the most in a short amount of time if that what you're looking for!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-17, version 5.4.2*

Wonderful app very helpful on our trip. We learned a lot with lots of details and information.

### 5/5 — Well worth it!

*2026-08-17, version 5.4.2*

This is a great app for exploring the national parks. I initially started with the free version which allowed exploring of maps and looking up interest points. Upgraded for the audio tour when my family and I did the 5 UT parks in one trip and it was well worth it!!

### 5/5 — This app is a MUST!!

*2026-08-17, version 5.4.2*

Downloaded this app after reading about it online. I knew we would have no cell service in Glacier National Park so I was looking for a solution. This was the SOLUTION! It helped me plan out all the stops, where to picnic, and the facts and info on all the areas were great! I would 10/10 recommend. I will definitely be using this app for other future National park visits in the future. 
Thank you for such an amazing app. It is so easy to use!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-17, version 5.4.2*

I feel so lucky to have found this apple. I was in the grand Tetons. The virtual tour guide was so fun and amazing, we learned so much. Even worked when there was no service! 10 outta 10!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-16, version 5.4.2*

We used this while in Yellowstone. It’s like your own personal tour guide. The offline feature is amazing because service disappears the second you drive into the park. Love the informative history it gives while driving my landmarks. Will be using again in Yellowstone next week. Will also be using for all of our future national park visits. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-16, version 5.4.2*

Easy to use and great information!

### 5/5 — SO helpful!

*2026-08-14, version 5.4.2*

Park Wolf helped us so much on our recent trip to Yellowstone!! It was so informative. Absolutely use it for your next trip!!

### 5/5 — This app is worth every penny!

*2026-08-14, version 5.4.2*

Spent a week in Yellowstone and absolutely loved having this app as our travel companion.  Had a few issues with CarPlay doing weird things, but I don’t think that was the app.  I love all the little tidbits of info shared as we drive and the “heads-up” that something we want to do is coming up.  Great job!!!
