Just Ahead:Audio Travel Guides 4+

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.

Terri, The only reason we make you stop is that there is not enough time to listen to those stories on the road.

Highly recommended

We used this app during a trip to Yosemite in the summer of 2022 and it was fantastic! Not only did it provide us with excellent and interesting information but the best photo I took the entire week was due solely to the information provided in the app (when you hear that one of Ansel Adams favorite spots to photograph Yosemite is “just ahead”…it’s worth a stop). I wish I could give it 10 stars as it’s like taking a private tour with a park ranger but even better because it has practical information too (for example, it told us where the gas stations are which is super helpful when you have no bars). My only advice to users is to download it before you go and get the tour you want loaded. We were surprised how little internet access we had even outside of the park. Heading to Joshua Tree next and I know this app will significantly add to the experience. To the awesome app creators….please consider adding Glacier or a “coming soon” list to the app. Thank you for helping us make memories my family will cherish for years to come.

Absolutely the best travel app!

We tried the free version while on a trip to Big Bend in March and quickly purchased the full subscription for all parks. The information is so well presented and was exactly in sync with our locations. It was so much easier to just sit back, drive, and listen to what we were seeing instead of trying to read it in a guide book or other written source. We learned many interesting facts about the geology, history, flora and fauna and many other details of the parks. In addition the app worked outside the parks and made us aware of interesting sites we would have missed as we travelled between parks. We are amazed at how well it works in areas where there is no cellular data. We enjoyed it in Bryce, Zion and Petrified Forest on that same trip. In between areas we would listen to the previews (general info that is not GPS sinced)of the other parks on the app and got excited to plan trips to those parks in the future. We wish it covered the whole United States. Kudos to the creators for making this app!
