Great Guide! - Very good! We only had an issue driving back when it would interrupt itself with audio cues we had already heard. But overall it took us to all the most sought after views and features. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great app, simple to use! - The app was really easy to use, just download, start the app nearby the start area and you're ready to go. Worked well even in low/no signal areas. Only minor complaint is that it can be a bit late on telling you to make a turn, other than that, would highly rate it. P.S Make sure you go to Dante's Peak, it's optional, but well worth it.

Death Valley Guide a must. - Great informative stories about the valley. Beware though, it tells you a couple of times to turn left, there is no left turn but there is a right turn!

Didn’t know our location - Audio didn’t load properly. It didn’t always know our location. We’re used other audio tours and never had any problems. I have the latest iPhone and upgraded. Good information when we heard it, but was off on the location.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - Terrible could not get the download in the park so it was useless. We could not contact anyone and they basically just took our $18. Really a scam since Death Valley has no cell towers

No cell or power service in Death Valley so didn't work. - We have used audio tours before and loved them but, with no service in Death Valley, we were unable to make it work.
