Great guide to Acadia Park Loop Road - We followed the instructions about setting up with a good internet connection before the tour and it all worked really well. We learned a lot as we drove the Loop Road, alerts to scenic stopping points were given in plenty of time to plan the stop, and no problem with the audio knowing exactly where to start up again after a stop.

Terrific - This is a terrific self-guided app to just get a nice overall view of the driving roads of Acadia. We could pause and stop the app as needed which was very convenient.

Acadia park verbal tour on iPhone - The views were good. We unfortunately started the tour the wrong way . We turned around halfway when we realized nothing matched the tour. Eventually we got on track and then found the tour enjoyable.

Not much open in April - What we saw we enjoyed. Whoever set this up needs to inform clients that most of the access roads remain closed until May. As we were here in mid April we encountered many closed roads. Also I was sad that android wasn't available because my husband has hearing loss and would have been able to hear through the blue tooth phone connection.

Might be great during the summer months! - Sadly, we were not able to use the app on the day (or any day) we visited the park. The roads and entrances to the park were closed for the winter, which happens every season. Why sell an app that cannot be used. We felt duped.

Park closed to driving —tour should not be sold - Let’s start with this should not be sold in the winter if the park is closed to driving- so you can not use this at all. This is a poor representation as this product purchase can not be used
