What's New in Yellowstone Explorer

1.0.7

April 29, 2021

What's new - We've made it even easier to know whats on the Map and have introduced 5 new map pin icons to make identification between maps pins even easier. - Love your sightings data to be up to date? So do we. Theres now a much more convenient and awesome pull down from top option on the home screen to refresh dynamic data. Never be without knowing what the latest sightings are. Bugs - We fixed an irksome interaction that caused the facts to interact weirdly. They now interact with a tap as intended. - The Yellowstone map is now centered. Phew - We've improved the safety card so its no longer competing with the background. Its now far clearer.

This app is a mystery

I just downloaded this app. When I click on a link, it gives me one and three-quarter sentences. When I tap on the app, it goes right back to the beginning again and doesn’t not give any place to finish the information. For instance, I tapped on the tab for the Albright visitor center. And I tapped on the sentence about the fact that the center is open year…. I am mystified to find the rest of that information.

Useless because of no service in the park.

Cool idea, but absolutely useless because of lack of cellular service in the park. Verizon has some limited service in the park, but AT&T is nearly non existent.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We always wanted a little bit more info about the park, and ideas of what animals were roaming around and that’s where this app idea came about. The app is designed for people to plan their route for the day and if unfamiliar with the park they can look at the map and see where animals hangout regularly and decided where their stops will be. We know the signal constraints don’t allow for real time animal viewing as cell signal is limited to certain areas within the park, the WiFi is throughout visitor centers and hotels in the park and that’s how we update sightings when we are in Yellowstone. Also we know that animals move and migrate through the day but seeing their “regular hangouts” is beneficial for those who have no background on Yellowstone, as we did our very first trip there many years ago. We would enjoy hearing more about your experience, please reach out at support@yellowstoneexplorer.io or direct message us on Instagram @yellowstoneexplorer

Best learning app ever!

The tittle, I really mean it! I have learned a lot, and my kids to of course, about Yellowstone and the animals and sites. The fun facts are so cool and the titles are really creative. We came for a science field trip and learned a lot of stuff in the app and we are so engaged in the app, that we have marked animals on the animal challenges and finished a couple already, and we only had the app for one day in Yellowstone! The app is very helpful and engaging in wildlife.

I wish there were details of sightings

This app appears to be the best I see today if you’re looking for a resource of what wildlife was seen where today. But I wish there were details about the sighting (for example: There’s a carcass, there’s a wolf den, there’s a sow with Cubs, etc). There was an app like this a decade ago, but today it appears the market is lacking for such a resource

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, we agree this is the best app in the space. Loved your ideas, we will work on adding them.

Don’t waste your time!

Appears that no one ever uses or keeps it up-to-date with recent wildlife sightings.

Response from developer

We watch the animal sightings daily and there have been animals each day and usage has increased over the last month. If you happened to use it in the first few weeks when the park was partially opened, there were a few days of no sightings. We strive for people to have the best experience with our app as well as in the park, your situation seems uncommon and we’d like to hear more about it. Please email us at support@yellowstoneexplorer.io and we can discuss it further.
