Ratings and Reviews
Fun and informative
We have young kids in car seats and we can’t always get in and out and read all the signs that I would like to. This app was helpful so we could enjoy the drive and learn about the history and area all at once. I do wish it didn’t ask me so many times what I thought of the app. If you are using your phone as your camera, download the app on another person’s phone so you don’t have to keep unplugging it/switching back and forth.
Developer Response ,
Awesome! So glad you and your family enjoyed the tour! Thanks so much for the detailed reviews. We will definitely take your suggestions into account and GREAT tip on using a second phone for photos!
Excellent self-drive guide!
We played it in the car and listened, stopping at each place for as long as we wanted. My kids (11 & 13) first seemed put off by the idea of listening, bit quickly changed their minds begging me to start the audio before the car got moving again. Very cool that the app would auto-play as you got closer to each point!!
One suggestion might be to play the audio before the point such as the Lone Cypress. We had to back track to see it.
Also, perhaps a little fix to the “more” areas to continuously play even if the user goes back to the map?
I really do wish I had an additional tour for Carmel and further south along the PCH. We drove the whole way and really really missed hearing all about it like we did in Monterey. I couldn’t find anything like it!
Developer Response ,
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour! We have a PCH and Big Sur tour coming out soon. And thanks for the suggestions for the Lone Cypress pin and the Learn More audio — we’ll make both of those changes for the next update! Thank You!
Well worth buying this app
The app worked perfectly for us and narrated details about points of interest shortly before we arrived at those points, which made it easier for us to decide if we wanted to park and look around on foot, or just view from the car. We've been to 17-mile drive several times and still learned new things from this app. We appreciated the “learn more” option to get even more info. A+, we would buy more audio tours from this app developer.
Developer Response ,
That’s awesome to hear! And you can continue to use this in the future if you have guests visiting. I’m so glad we could add so much to your visit and we hope to continue adding to the Learn Mores over time so the tour should just get better and better :) Thanks again!
