Ignore the usual complainers

This app is terrific, like almost everyone on here has expressed.
For those complaining about poor reception, etc...it's not the app, its your phone, carrier, and lack of phone settings knowledge. I can tell by the complaints that it's one or all the reasons above.
The app has almost 5 stars for a reason, its easy to use, and definitely a must for receiving their latest travel and ticket information.
Ignore the handful of people that shouldn't have phones if they don't know how to use them.

Very Cool

I usually don’t write reviews since lots of apps (free ones at least) can be tried out without any “strings attached”. However, this app is just plain cool. It’s so easy to see where you are in relation to the tour you’re on and orient yourself to the castle. It runs flawlessly and smoothly and has amazing detail. Hearst Castle is a pretty cool place. Too bad WR Hearst was such a piece of trash.
