This FREE all-inclusive outdoor guide was created in a collaborative effort between Montana State Parks and ParksByNature Network™.
Powered by Pocket Ranger® technology, the app gives outdoor enthusiasts an environmentally friendly way to enjoy the parks. It contains everything you need to plan a trip to the state parks, navigate them once you get there, and share your experiences afterward.
Highlighted features include:
•Sleek user interface (UI) -- more photo-centric home screen design.
•Photo galleries on each park description page.
•A search feature to optimize search capabilities, allowing various ways to search by locations, activities, category, and site name. Making it easier to find the perfect recreational destination.
The app also has rich GPS features, such as:
•Advanced GPS Maps, complete with an accuracy and distance indicator, which allow you to access trail data, record tracks from hikes, runs, or bike rides, and view elapsed time and distance traveled.
•Easy-to-cache GPS Terrain Map tiles, which ensure that navigation remains possible in the event of lost mobile reception.
•Photo waypoint feature allowing you to snap a photo and mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species or landscape views. Post or share these remarkable finds with family and friends with the click of a button.
•Friend Finder features that tracks friends and family around the parks.
•Built-in compass.
•Potentially life-saving Alert feature that supplies GPS coordinates to designated contacts in case of an emergency.
Other standard features make exploring the great outdoors a breeze:
•Thorough information on all state parks including general policy, contact information, activities, trails, park maps and much more.

•Plus so much more!
With the Pocket Ranger® in hand, prepare to bask in the vast natural wonders of Montana State Parks & Forests!

Not great.

We tried this a few times. The recording of info for the contest won't work without data service. Guess what? Most of the places don't have good coverage, unless it's only with one network. But that wouldn't be fair, right? Anyway, it basically just connects you to Fish, Wildlife and Parks website, which is better than the app.
dont waste your time

My beautiful wife and I love taking the kids to explore the parks in our region on the weekends. The app is loaded with useful information and allows me to plan my trips ahead of time! My wife and kids always wonder how I know so much about everything, when really it's just the pocket ranger! Look out Ranger Rick! Here comes Ranger Dad!

This app is free, why complain? You get what u get for free! Love that I can search and make reservations through this app. Less stressful. My kids can even use this app to find activities that they love. This is a must download. Easy to navigate with a touch of a button.
Mostly advertising

Very little worthwhile content. I can't seem to get past the advertising. I'll probably remove the app.
