Missing Michigan Parks

Truth sndwch

The app is missing both Michigan nat'l parks, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Pictured Rocks. Limited use without in-app purchases.

Went to Mount Rainer park the other day, thought "I'll use that national park app I got", but no. Many of the features require phone service to work, particularly the maps to find where to go. You'd think that Nat. Geo. could include a built in map, but apparently not. Inside the park, there's basically no service, so the app was useless.

Not worth the price of admission.

There was nothing in the app that wasn't available for free online. The only thing your paying for is the photos within the app.

Are you kidding?

This App is crap. It covers 1/3 of the National Parks and none of the monuments, battlefields, recreation areas, etc. The fact that National Geographic has the balls to charge for this is apalling. Stay away. Don't give them your money for this inferior product. Try instead, Passport to your National Parks ... a FREE App. I will delete this one so I can put something useful on my phone.

Waste of money

It is unbelievable how the National Geographic brand dares release such a useless guide. The Rocky Mountain park guide has zero (0!!) "things to do" in the park, five dull photo tips, and 11 "things to see", which are merely 11 pictures that they were kind enough to share with no further explanations. Seriously ? Don't waste your money on this app.

Pass on the Full Guide Purchase

Spent $13 for guides for all the parks, and it is a waste of money. The activities they suggest are no brainers. "go on a picnick", drive this scenic road, etc. I was hoping for insights on specific trails and sights, suggestions for the better areas to see, but the suggestions provided are very generic. Disappointed

Not worth the in app purchase

I bought the full park guide thinking it would unlock more info. It doesn't. It just gives you access to a few pictures. The app doesn't seem to get updated with new content either. Not worth the money at all, even if you just buy one park. The app would have a lot of potential with more offline content and more unique park information then just some pictures.

Don't waste your money

I'm a hiker and backpacker. I purchased the app because it had info on most of the big parks I want to visit. What they don't tell you is how little info they give you in the app. Then they charge you $14.00 for "the full guide" to all the parks. Well I got suckered into that one, only to find out that they give you barely any additional info despite the larger sum. Save your money and visit the park service website where you can download all the info you want for free and it'll have all the latest info you need as well.

Problems

Bought the upgraded version and downloaded using iPad. Doesn't work on my phone? Use my phone while on sight in parks. Disappointing when I couldn't access on my phone. Usually one purchase works on both my devices. I do like what I can get on iPad.

HORRIBLE!!! Not worth the $2. No maps, not interactive. Only opinions and pretty photos that have no reference information attached about how to get to the points of interest depicted. Find another way to learn about your national park.
