Great way to experience Mt Lemmon! - The trip up and down was great using this app and tour. We learned a ton of stuff, got tips for the stops, and kept everyone interested up and down. I liked that we could pause the tour whenever we wanted and it would pick back up wherever we were. Only issue we had was stopping at some view points that were on the opposite side of the road that seemed a bit careless on s shaped winding roads.

Good content, bad music. - While the content of the audio tour was interesting the inability to shut off the music without monitoring the GPS icon on the map, and not being able to adjust volume either from my phone or the car radio was very annoying. Do better. I’ve used self guided audio tours from other companies and the audio broke through whatever we were listening to on our car radio, without volume control problems. The music was annoying.

Avoid at all costs - Complete miss. Crappy app that never recognized my purchased trip. Used the instructions for such a circumstance and uninstalled and reloaded the app. Still didn't work. Called customer support but was told they only work during Hawaii standard hours! Here's a hint. If you are providing a product for the continental US, you need customer support for the people in those time zones! Will request a full refund.
