REVIEWS
“It was a reasonably priced tour with flexibility on timing. Key rock formations were highlighted and history of local native Americans was told. One story I enjoyed was how the desert features here were used in the cartoon of the roadrunner (beep beep) and the Wiley Coyote!! at the insistence of the cartoonist.

Joshua Tree NP brought to life.

The narrative started on its own at each way point that had info. It was interesting and informative. The park is so beautiful and this only adds to the experience.
It felt like a good amount of info in an easy to listen to narrative. Interesting and helpful. Well worth the $5.00!
I would download another tour from this company if I’m in another location that offers it.
Thanks!

Developer Response ,

Careful Reviewer ,

Great tour!

What a fun way to see the park. This was my second trip to the park and I actually enjoyed in even more! Learnt so much of what I was seeing around me. Will definitely be trying their other Apps on my next trip.

Developer Response ,

Awesome! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the self-guided experience! Joshua Tree National Park is such a beautiful park and being able to explore it at your own pace makes a huge difference. We put in a lot of effort to keep the stories engaging and fun, so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed them! Hope to see you again with our other tours. Thanks again!

VERY glitchy, impossible to get refund

The app content seems fine but app itself is VERY glitchy. It freezes then force quits every 3rd audio prompt which made it essentially unusable in the actual park and then takes another 2-3min to relaunch.

I have left feedback and am now requesting a refund as I have gone through 3 different channels and have yet to receive any response.

TL;DR too glitchy to use in actual park, impossible to get a hold of anyone after purchase for either help or refund. Would not recommend and would not use app from this company again in the future
