Very useful

Great apps. I have them all, though I've yet to use them while in the parks. But for now I'm using them to plan my trips.Good, quick support from the devs, too.
Sad

Formerly a Family Favorite. Developer decided to make guides in this app available by subscription only thus rendering pictures and information useless.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback. Apps are expensive to develop and it takes resources to keep all the content updated. In order to continue (vs removing the app completely), we’re asking for a small fee to continue and improve. We feel we offer a very good value for just a small price.
NEW: Check-ins now use park boundaries for most parks, plus lodging price and availability recommendations in trip itineraries for Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Death Valley. CarPlay support, improved accomplishments on the map, and miscellaneous bug fixes make Chimani even better for your next national park adventure.
