This audio tour was well-worth the money. We learned a lot about the Cabot Trail throughout our drive. There were some hidden spots to pull-over and see that we wouldn't have otherwise known about.
Fantastic Cabot Trail

So much great information and tips on where to stop. Loved learning the history of the area. As beautiful as the drive was it was so much more when we learned about the history and character of the area
Great way to find out some interesting facts about the Cabot Trail

A reasonably priced App to have some information along the Cabot Trail. I liked the questions at the end of most stops (not so much my husband). We did have to manually play the stop information but that was okay... took a little adjusting. You can start the tour at any stop but would suggest to play the first stop before beginning your tour because it has information about how the audio works in terms of sounds you will hear to indicate various things... then you can head to whatever stop you wanted to start at.
Easy to use and quite the...

Application that is not user-friendly. I followed the download instructions and despite the fact that the information had to be accessible offline, the information was inaccessible for the majority of the journey. However, for the stages of the journey where the application worked the information was interesting and well communicated.
