Great app except the iPhone download issue

4.00The app was great with multiple educational stories to pass time between scenic stops. The trip itself was awesome and location was always known even without cell service. The only complaint I had was the app was impossible for an iPhone to download (because of iPhones built in security) and required Viator help desk to get it done (which is appreciated).
Perfect tips for a very busy trip & a lot of options
