This app increased our enjoyment of the National Park 10-fold! The narrator gave us the run-down of each site and went into the history of it as we drove through. Tribal flute music (short interludes - not the whole time) added to the experience. Excellent!! Highly recommend!!

Awesome tour guide app of the park. It gave us directions and was linked up to GPS. Really simple to use. Family loves the content and as a lover of loony tunes, my wife particularly enjoyed the story about the road runner! Highly recommend, especially for families! Kept the kids entertained too!

That is wonderful to hear! It sounds like you've had a fantastic time in Joshua Tree National Park! I'm overjoyed that our tour was a significant part of this incredible trip! Loony tunes are also a personal favourite segment of ours. Restored those long-forgotten memories! Please take a look at the other tours we offer in California.

Intrusive permissions for an app released in 2021. No excuse to need access to my personal files and photos just so it can store its own content for offline access. It's using an older version of an API or using the wrong way to store data.

We only ask for access to Photos/Media so that app data can be downloaded onto your device and stored for offline use — otherwise, it would constantly need data/WiFi to work while onsite. If this was the only concern you had, we’d love it if you could edit your rating. Thanks! We have updated our app. You should seen see an updated version of app.
