Ratings and Reviews
Great app with a few corners to become even better
For two trips now this app has been a great help in planning the visits in National Parks.
I like the front page navigation: „What to see“, „Things to do“, … . The answers provided gave different options, e. g. for a half-day visit, a full-day visit or extended stays. Useful.
The ability to download everything and use offline has proven tremendously useful. Such a stress-relief when looking at information in a hotel with slow internet or in the middle of nowhere.
There are a few points that could use polish to make the app even better, e. g.
- the app does not allow copy-paste of snippets into one’s own travel documents
- Please make „how to move around“ a front page category for direct access to questions like „Is this a park to move in the car between vistas? Or is it a park for hiking? Are there shuttles and how do they work?“ The answers are in the app, but I found looking for them often a bit tedious and confusing.
- The order of search results behind the magnifying glass seems arbitrary. Intuitively I would expect e. g. that searching for „arches“ will put „Arches NP“ on top of the list of search results. I could not find a relevance ranking in the search results.
But again. Great app. Well done. Thank you.
Kartenfunktion funktioniert nicht, sonst super für Infos über Nationalparks

Maps don‘t work
Which is a pity as that was the thing I needed most.
