Must have travel app
Must have app for travel! Such priceless interesting necessary information! Loved hearing both scientific and historical and cultural info! This app literally saved our lives on the very narrow roads on the west coast of Maui!
EMDRTherapist | 9 hours ago | iOSFantastic app would recommend to everyone going to Arches National Park. Kept us informed along our adventure. 👍👍
Rick Kaminski | 3 days ago | AndroidSuper fun, could be better
We loved using this for our drives around the big island! Tons of good factoids and stories to fill the time while you drive for hours while exploring this amazing place. The only reason we did not give 5 stars are: 1. We really needed the speed limits posted in the app like google maps does. There are so many changes that happen quickly if you are trying to switch between the 2 it gets overwhelming and conflicting directions got us mixed up a few times. 2. The music is much louder than the narration so we had to adjust our volume back and forth a lot. If it was a bit quieter setting that the talking that would have been perfect. 3. Sometimes the directions would be exactly at the point where you were supposed to turn so we missed at least 5 where we had to do a turn around and go back. And then sometimes the directions would be very far out so we would slow down way too early. The map was very helpful but if we lost service it wouldn’t always put us in the right location for the narrator to be correct. Other than those things we greatly enjoyed our Shaka guide and are excited to try it on another island!!
