National Parks by National Geographic App Reviews

If youre looking for a total park guide, this is not it. Yes the pictures that are included are nice, but the guide is light on the info. Also, there arent many parks.

Although this app has some really good photographs within it, it is still a huge disappointment. It would be nice if this app provided information regarding specific trails, climbing areas, etc., rather than general info you can get from a quick google search. Additionally, this app only has a fraction of the national parks/ monuments.

I was excited when I found this app but they want $14 for all the parks and the information given is very basic and doesnt work well for RV campers. They only list state campgrounds and have no unique info that I wouldnt find with a quick google search.

Many national parks have very limited cell coverage within their boundaries. Yellowstone is a prime example. Were currently visiting and this makes your app all but useless.

Found this very informative prior to our arrival at Yosemite, and will use it in future travels.

This app is full of advertising which if youre not careful and you tap with fingerprint sensor could result in a purchase of the numerous guides. Information is an overview and standard.

Its not working correctly in ios 8

For the $13.99 I paid for "all parks" I expected to get just that. Not just the "popular 28 or so parks. I expect more from National Geographic. National monuments should be included too.

Being national geographic I expect top quality maps, photos, advice etc. The free info with map integration is wonderful. I used to have the national parks hd app which was outstanding. This is as close to that as it gets. I think paying to marginal fee for the complete set of these guides is a real value. I paid more then $14 for one guide 10 years ago in paperback!! ( and Id usually buy 5 or 6 for each trip) Ive come to realize its worth paying for some things. People tend to complain now days when they actually have to pay an artist or adventurer for something that is actually valuable and took time and resources to create. This app looks beautiful. And Its nice to not have advertising bars popping up all over the screen like on many free apps as well. Even without paying for the expanded content its worth having. My 2 cents.

I havent been able to use this app for a full minute without it freezing and becoming completely unresponsive

Horrors! The beautiful contour maps are gone, along with trails, streams, bridges, buldings, trail intersections, miles, and loads of other useful information. If I want aerial photographs I can go to Google Earth. Im deleting the app. It is of almost no value. Boo NG, Boo!!!

I expected a popular and intelligent company like National Geographic not to leave out some of the states. New Mexico has several National parks and monuments. How could you leave the whole state out of your list. I will be deleting this app

Every time I turn the phone sideways to view the pictures better, the app essentially freezes. (It still functions but barely)

In my school we are doing a national parks project and we have to make a scrap book. And of course Im doing acaida cuz maine is my favorite place in the world so I hope this has a lot of facts I can use!!!! Btw I love national geo and I play a computer game by them : ANIMAL JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Park websites and internet are MUCH more useful. This app has nothing special to offer and is a total waste of money plus it is buggy. Very disappointed in National Geographic for letting this app out the door. But love National Geographic thus my surprise and disappointment in this app.

Youd think clicking on a trail would bring up a trail guide and not just a single pin...

Love the app, but I was expecting the rest of the national parks to be added at some point. I paid the 14$ for what I thought would eventually be a complete guide...... Not yet.

Very beautiful.

I purchased the full upgrade yesterday so that I would have access to all of the National Parks. I still have not received the upgrade, however, my iTunes account balance shows that it was purchased. I have emailed your support service...they have acknowledged receipt of my email...but I still do not have the upgrade. Please help.

Skimpy information, ads and constantly freezes up. Altogether little to recommend. If NG can put out such a great magazine, why cant they find someone to help them do apps? Im deleting both this one and their Atlas, which is a worse disaster.
