An amazing app!
Dave Keplin
An amazing park, absolute must-do. App adds a lot to the experience, especially for the legends and geological site. This was the first tour of our Utah “Mighty Five” road trip.
Hoodoos!! Audio stories are great
OceanStateOfMind
I actually ditched a different app (which I had paid for) in favor of this one. The audio commentary in this is excellent, and easily worth the money. You learn about how Bryce’s crazy hoodoos formed BUT you also learn about the different stories about them over time. If this is going to be a once-in-lifetime trip for you, choose this app for the right content. Don’t go for the standard stories which are lifted straight from the signboards.
Audio Playback Issues
Dan Cameron
Whenever it starts it also plays the first track in my Music app, so there’s two things playing at once.
Like a musical orchestra in the phone

What a beautiful place! And a beautiful tour guide to explain it. Narration is excellent. The app guide’s voice is quite enthusiastic. GPS based play was very good. All I did was to walk in the circles on the guided path. It played on its own. Bryce is the best park here. Pls download the app in advance. Cellular signal is choppy.
Well worth it!
Careful Reviewer
I am a repeat customer! I had bought their Arches App and loved it. This one did not disappoint either. In-depth stories and a mini geology session rolled in one. Would highly recommend the App.
I feel duped

Updated: After a very responsive exchange with the developer, they made it seem like some improvements would be on the way. While I can’t recommend the version I used, I’m hoping to give them another shot in the future simply because of their positive customer experience response. Original Review: I got greedy and went for this app over the GyPSy app which we’ve enjoyed immensely in the past but costs $2 more. We saw the good reviews and it felt like a slam dunk. We were wrong right off the bat. Glitchy, freezing, starts over from the first slide every time you restart the app (do you want to take a hike or see a viewpoint without the drain on your battery?). We heard the first slide about 12 times and maybe 2 other slides, one of which was a home video of a lookout with audio of just heavy breathing. Driver can’t see these visuals... why include them? It’s not good content from what we did see, but even if it was, it wouldn’t play for us anyway. I’m thinking the good reviews are staged. Instead of saving $2, we wasted $3. Lesson learned...
Huge Disappointment

We travelled thousands of miles to be here in front of Zion NP, where I am writing this now, only to have the audio tour crash repeatedly inside the app. I have restarted, reinstalled, restored, etc etc etc. Customer service is no where to be found.
