Latest reviews of Kauai GPS Tour Guide app for iPhone and iPad
Does not work for ipad what a real shame
Really made driving the island a blast. Must have for visitors as you get local insights and lots of secrets about farmers markets, smoothies, and health food stores -- especially which days are preferred! We loved this and would recommend it to anyone visiting the island -- works really well with Audio books.
Works intermittently at best. Gives about 10 seconds notice when approaching a turn for a road or site (a few times as we were passing the site). Didnt work at all on return trip from Hanalei.
The app is ok but it does not provide anything that you couldnt get with google maps and a guide book on beaches. the most useful part of the guide is the beach breakdown, as it points out better places for leaning to snorkel, snorkeling and places where you shouldnt swim. The app is full of useless information that is somewhat randomly organized. I also believe that some of the so-called shopping complexes may have paid for advertising, as only certain ones are mentioned (without any distinguishing reasons). Finally, the app does not make use of the GPS feature, as it does not provide any helpful directions or parking suggestions.
Used it for two days driving around Kauai. Did not come on very much. Not very informative. Guide book would have been more helpful.
