### 1/5 — Could be such a great App, but

*2020-12-03, version 3.7.5*

This App could be the be all to end all of information for visitors to the great Rottnest Island but no, it’s an absolute flop. 
The only info is on several tour, NOTHING else!!!

It should have everything from the Rottnest Island Authority website and more. Places to eat and their menus, bus timetables and the ability to buy tickets, the ability to check the status of your accommodation, +++++++

Come on Rotto you are better than this. We know you also have the worst accommodation booking system so maybe mediocre performance is your thing??

### 4/5 — Great app

*2015-01-22, version 3.0.15*

My first time to Rottnest and I found the tours great for exploring the island.
