Pros and cons of National Parks by National Geographic app for iPhone and iPad

National Parks by National Geographic app good for

I think its worth it. The photos are gorgeous!!! I enjoy anything National Geographics!!!
One of the most beautiful app experience ive seen so far. And really useful,
I like this app very much due to teh fact that Im going to the US in september. What about a german translation? Keep going!
I download loads of apps and i am always keen to see what new interface features people will use to make their app a bit more unique. This National Geographic app skipped no corners in development. It is truly stunning. This app can really become a great companion on national park road trips. It also may entice those who other wise may not have considered visiting a national park for a vacation, to do so. Recommendations for future updates: - Universal Application - Solve Error 5 bug for downloading guides - Crawl your way up to the Canadian National Parks!
Simply superb in terms of usability and of course content too. But i am still voting for best UI design! Good job natgeo
Only way it could be better is if they included all aspects of the National Parks system (battlefields and historic sites.) Very good app.

Some bad moments

Interesting, but too expansive. Not enough information, not enough parks, not enough pictures...
Clearly Nat-geo has abandoned this app and all of those who purchased the extra guides. Those extra guides that exist are ridiculously thin with material. A handful of images, terribly annotated maps, and worthless additional info. Overall a total slack of an application and hugely disappointing. Expect better from National Geographic!
After having purchased Denali, there was exactly zero useful information this app provided.
This app doesnt include all of the national parks, just the major ones. My next trip includes Voyageurs, Isle Royale, and Theodore Roosevelt; none of these are shown. It only has basic information; more detail can be found at nps.gov.
Free app was disappointing. Figured I need to purchase theIn app purchase to get the full package. I have NEVER been so disappointed in my decision to purchase an app. I cant believe National Geographic could even allow their name to be associated with such an amateur project. DO NOT BUY. You are wasting your money!
Read reviews before getting it!! I didnt, wasted $13.00 on an app that does not show details and for some reason the touch screen on the right side stop working, cant get access to temperature or stats, when looking at pictures have to use the center of the screen (all other apps work OK) Best option, get the free version and search the web for more details
