Kauai GPS Tour Guide App Reviews

Great Tour Guide-Tip Already Paid!

We setup app to provide sound through the rental cars aux (car not equipped with Bluetooth but that wouldve worked too) feature and we were so happy to have a guide that didnt need to be tipped and didnt take us to places we didnt want to go to AND she even told us of tourist traps and advised when better photo opportunities were available if we were short on time. It is well worth the $7.95 fee. Have a great trip.

Excellent tour guide!

We just returned from Kauai and this app was spot on. The gps function worked beautifully on my iPad. It told us EverythinG that was coming up with relevant details. As a bonus, the presenter has a pleasant voice to listen to unlike some other apps.

Awesome!

This app gave us great and current information or shops, restaurants and various points of interest. We especially enjoyed the history snippets. Highly recommend!

Awesome App for getting around island

We bought this app even after noticing it had mixed reviews. I was so impressed with this app. My BF and I drove around the island and it would tell us interest points ahead and where you can find places to eat and where to turn off before you reach the interest point. It gives an interesting aspect about the island and has a very nice pleasant voice. For $7.99 it was well worth the price. Think about how much you spend on any tour bus. I highly recommend you buy this app if you are planning on doing any driving around the island in a rental car.

Doesnt work w/iPhone 6

App opens, shows us where we are, follow us, then Nothing!

Didnt work

App doesnt work. I have an iPhone 6 and it is useless. It opens up but doesnt do anything else. Wont narrate , wont let me zoom, it just freezes

Excellent

Very nice audio tour. Just enough info. You start the app and just drive, when you pass a GPS trigger point it gives you specific timely info. You can run a GPS map in the background to have turn by turn directions if you like. Somehow it seems that when returning on the same road it doesnt play the same thing again which is nice. I rarely give a 5 rating to anything but this app gets one

Loved it BUT...

We loved the GPS tour! The app made the longer drives to the North and South shores more fun. The beach road turnoff suggestions were on point. The history of various spots on the island was very cool. The only thing I did not like was the app had to be open and phone screen left on. Any time you turn off the screen or phone goes into lock mode the tour stops. Not a problem if you remembered your car charger big problem if you didnt. It also ran my phone pretty hot, no more so than imaps but definitely would prefer to click the screen off and still continue the tour. I wish there was more added occasionally through updates. It is the tiny isle Kauai and the tour is really fun but I think there is a lot more that could be said. Overall, this was my go to Kauai App and not the popular book series app simply for the fun guided tour. I loved the chimes before she spoke and loved her voice too. Great job! Keep it fresh. Mahalo!

Really enjoyed this app

This app cause us to find some interesting spots. Loved the chime right before the announcement since it caused all of us to be ready to listen. The history was great and even pointed us to some fabulous spots. The points of reference did not repeat themselves on the way back thankfully. Thank you and please keep it updated!

Buy it, use it, love it

A must-have app if youre planning a driving tour of the island. The information provided along the way is very informative, interesting and helpful, but not intrusive to a pleasant drive. Many of the sights pointed out would have been very difficult, if not impossible to find without this app. Definitely worth every penny paid, even though we only used it for one day.

good but needs improvement

We had recently purchased this app for our trip to Kauai having used other gps apps in other locations. The guide was helpful and provided us with lots of information on our trips through the island. However, I would make some suggestions: 1 - in many instances we had already passed the street or location mentioned by the guide before the guide was finished describing the sight; . The speaker should start earlier giving more time to listen and then stop to view the site mentioned. 2 - the guide does not differentiate between direction travelled - it does not mention if you have to turn left or right depending on the direction travelling. ; 3 - once the guide talks about a site it does not play it again unless the guide is reset - it took us some time to figure out how that we had to reset the guide; we had passed some sites we wanted to see on our way out of lihue and were hoping to stop on the way back but the guide did not repeat the info until we reset the machine. Once we figured out how to reset we were able to use the app. The app did make our drives around the island more enjoyable and worth the money. I think our suggestions would improve the operation.
