1.00The app was useless as there were no signals in the mountains! Even satellites didn’t pick it up. I had read others reviews and knew it was iffy but it really was useless.

1.00Couldn't get the app to work. Called Support and they couldnt get it to work either. Had to ask for refund and repurchase it. The audio tour was useless when we got it to work. No earthshattering history was given, just let us know where stops were- but the signage showed us that. Not worth the money.
You are a scam , Especially if you don’t refund my $9.99.

4.00If your not good with phone apps like me, I'm 67 years young, it took us an hour to figure out how to download two different apps and had to enlist the help of the visitor center personnel to help us figure out the multiple steps to proceed. Once we were logged in it was a very good experience. They would've gotten five stars if it wasn't so hard to maneuver.
