Grand Canyon

Enjoyed the app and all the info and stories. I only gave it a 4 instead of 5 because I lost phone service and it seemed to affect the app I kept having to restart it.

Love this app!

My husband and I just visited the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Just by chance we stumbled across this app before we entered the park. It made our day trip worth so much more. We loved learning of the special spots to visit and the history was incredible. Thank you so much. We look forward to using the application for the Zion next!

Tour guide from the comfort of your own car

We got this app for the Tetons & Yellowstone a few years ago and have been raving about it ever since. We only had one day to do the GC (I know, such a pity) and we had no idea how to approach. This app helped guide us along and kept our drive from Flagstaff to GC interesting. We named our tour guide Fred and he’s our new best friend ;)

Solid narration but a little repetitive

Excellent guide but there are a few points that are a few years outdated (the Flintstone roadside attraction is now closed and is a birds of prey attraction). Also, the narration in and out from Williams and Flagstaff are nearly identical. So if you do a side trip to another city you end up hearing the same thing twice. Also, it seems to sometimes not play if the app is in the background even though it says it will. I still highly recommend if you’re the kind of person who reads all the signs next to the exhibits at a museum.

Fantastic app

I bought this app after purchasing the Gypsy app for Yellowstone and Grand Tetons national parks. I was so impressed by the first app, I knew I needed this one when I went to the Grand Canyon. The app starts in Flagstaff (& other areas leading to GC) so there is a build up about the history of the area as you get to the Grand Canyon. Literally like having a tour guide in your car but at a tiny fraction of the price. The narrator has a pleasant voice and talks enough to be informative but not all the time so you can just enjoy the scenery as well. We went in August when there were no guided tours and limited rangers in the park due to COVID. That made this app all the more essential but I would highly recommend this app even when the park fully reopens. Since it operates on GPS, there’s no need to worry about Wi-Fi coverage. It worked flawlessly, always knowing where we were to tell us what attraction was coming up & some history about it. (Suggestion - I’d like to see a Gypsy app for the Sedona Arizona area. Having information about what you are seeing as you travel makes the experience all the more enjoyable & the Gypsy app does a great job).
