Great App…When it works
2023-08-13

When I can use this app, it is great. The self guided tours are wonderful. The problem is if you use the app, then attempt to use it again, all you get is a blank white screen and one word: loading. It goes on like that forever. Sometimes it takes until the next day before you can use the app again. I wish the self guided tours were available on the regular website, if this issue cannot be addressed.

Hi and thanks for your review. We're really glad that you enjoyed the guided tours and appreciate your constructive feedback. The loading issue you are describing sounds like your device may have been trying to open a new section on the app. For best results we recommend opening new content for the first time while connected to a strong internet connection. We hope this helps improve your experience as we work to make this function even better in future releases.

You still need to update some of the pins on the map. Some are missing and last I checked “Beaver Pond” was not a National Park.
