Great app for Yellowstone

We were provided information about this app from the campground we stayed at in Gardiner MT while visiting Yellowstone. Just Ahead is a fabulous app - the narrator is very well-timed in providing useful info and interesting anecdotes, providing sufficient time to decide to take a side trip or stop at a look out. We also appreciated the heads up for restrooms and other services. We used it through our blue tooth on the car and everyone could hear the guide easily and clearly. We used the app for Yellowstone and Grand Teton and plan to use it for all the parks. I feel like I've read and studied a guidebook - we know so much more about these wonderful parks that we would have known on our own! And it's especially helpful right now when the ranger staffing is low. The developer has also been incredibly accommodating in helping us fix an error on our part in our download. We feel like we have a friend riding with us and we talk back to Gregory as we go through the park!

The BEST Travel Companion

If you are traveling the Parks this App is a must. It works regardless of cell service. I love it. Tells you so many wonderful bits of information, trivia, history, geography, geology, all about the animals and wildlife and the natives that used to live in different locations. It tells you to turn off at places you would’ve never thought to turn off. We have seen things I can’t even begin to tell you because of this out. But what I love most is, I am normally the one with my head buried in a book reading directions and looking at where we should turn. All the while missing so much that is going by. This app allows you just to keep looking around and listening as it goes. It’s wonderful. You never miss a thing. We first used it in Yellowstone, and I kept thinking about how much I would’ve missed if I had not had this out. I was able to look up the whole time. Just a head is the best. The only reason I didn’t give it a five star, was there some things that you have to pull over and stop for it to play. I would love to go back and re-listened to those pieces of information at a later time. But you can’t do it unless you’re in the park at those locations and stopped. I wish they had a way for us to re-listen to those also. It’s definitely worth buying the annual subscription. Would love to see them add more locations.

The best way to enjoy road trips through national parks!!!

I can’t say enough great things about this APP and shared it everywhere we stopped to enjoy scenery, hikes etc. It’s like having a tour guide sitting right next to you, telling you all about what you’re about to see, it’s history and/or to help you choose a route you’re about to take. If you’re approaching a tourist attraction, it tells you how far you’ll need to drive or walk to it and time you should allow yourself to explore it. It is beyond amazing and I get excited every time I share it. My radio does tune down so all I hear is the guide and in such a pleasant voice! Honestly, if I could give it 10 STARS, I would. I downloaded all the parks and look forward to going back to some of these places I visited without this APP to see what I missed! Do yourself a BIG favor when traveling to these parks and download this APP “first!” You will be glad you did! I truly hope more locations are added to this APP.
