This is truly one of the most scenic, peaceful, and sunny drives in the entire country! We had a phenomenal time on every minute of this roadtrip, from the moment we left SF until we hit LA’s beach. The audio tour was a great add on, and helped make each sight more special and memorable (and convinced us to actually stop at a couple places we hadn’t originally planned). The only quibble is that the audio is timed to the location so if you’re driving over the speed limit (we sometimes did), it will occasionally cut off when you hit the next one. This happens infrequently though (and was clearly our mistake) so I will continue to rate 5.

I recently took this app on a road trip from LA to SF. The commentary from the tour guide is insightful and useful, but I encountered multiple issues with the design and implementation that caused me to abandon using it part way through.1. It’s difficult to use this app for navigation because A) it doesn’t provide enough instruction prior to ALL turns B) the route it uses is not straightforward to plot into a background map app as a supplement.2. App had trouble detecting when I reached locations, and did not begin audio about 5-10% of the time.3. App does not handle audio switching between a background music app properly. It pauses the music to play tour commentary, but it does not resume music after. This means you have to either manually resume after each comment (dangerous) or listen only to the tour for your whole trip.4. Because the audio commentary causes a full screen takeover, the driver loses the ability to see the map without manual intervention. This can cause some wrong turns.5. It’s unnecessary to read “Look at the map when it pops back up…” after every comment.6. The “Learn more” option on some of tours doesn’t make sense since the driver shouldn’t be messing with the app. I think it would be better to hear append that commentary to its predecessor.I really wanted to like this app because there isn’t really another app (that I know of) on the market that offers a great audio tour package for the entirety LA to SF, but overall, it feels very much like this app hasn’t been sufficiently user tested by the developers.

We were doing the Highway 1 road trip and had used their App for LA to San Luis Obispo. We loved that App, so we went all in and bought all their tours for Highway 1 upto SF. You won’t regret it. It works beautifully and makes the drive interesting and informative with titbits about the area we were driving through. Since it is GPS enabled, we just had the phone hooked to the car stereo and periodically it pointed out facts along the way.

I loved this app. The stories played when we got to the point. The best part is that stories are quite unique; very creative. They talk about what happened at each point. Nice !
