Yellowstone GyPSy Guide Tour App Reviews

We paid way too much money for a wildlife tour because we had learned soooo much from this app. Its the very best $5 we spent on our vacation. It doesnt matter if you are there for 1 day or a whole weeklike us - this app will help you see and understand what really makes this park special. We had horrible cell service and that didnt matter because it ran off GPS. I cant say enough about how much this simple app enhanced our experience in Yellowstone!!

Gypsy is an excellent way to see Yellowstone. It uses the geolocation to determine where you are and starts the commentary automatically. It covers all the important things to see and do in the park. Better than having a guide. Technology works perfectly. Once it stopped playing the narrative automatically, I just closed the app and restarted it.

After finding that the vast majority of Yellowstone is a blanket of "no service" from any cellular provider, it was disappointing not to be able to use this app to help guide our extensive touring. Just curious... Is there a way to make this app function correctly when even the mapping function wont work reliably? Unless I misunderstood its intended use, it was a complete waste of money for me.

We were consistently amazed by this terrific app on our week+ in Yellowstone! Every other app was kludgy or depended on cellular signals (which were few and far between), or never updated correctly to orient to features or trails. This delightful "disembodied voice" was our constant companion once we entered the park from both the East and the North, pointing out main features and many great side trips. It stayed oriented with our travels basically to the turn, and responded with a friendly tone and great details. Long stretches of driving without new park features were filled with marvelous facts and stories about the parks history and wildlife, its geology and "must sees". We discovered new hikes and activities that were not on our initial long list of "things to do" thanks to what was offered up here. This gets our highest reco as a family, and well be checking back with GyPSy first before any of our future travels to see if they (hopefully) have a new guide to accompany us.

Best $5 I thing I have ever spent. We learned so much more about Yellowstone with this app than we would have if we had gone on our own. The first day the app wasnt automatically playing the narratives, but I closed the app completely and reopened it. It worked perfectly after that. We liked that it worked without having to have a cell signal. Theres nothing bad to say about this.

We had only 1 day in Yellowstone and we used the guide. It was super helpful. We tried to stop at most of the "must see" spots. There is no cell service (AT&T) in most of the park but we had a portable wifi hot spot with us. But the tour was accurate and for the price it was amazing!

Just like having a personal tour guide, the narrator pointed out key must see spots as well as some history and educational aspects. Worked perfectly with gps only, As there is only limited cell service in the park. Would give 5 stars with minor changes 1 make the location services required only in app 2 allow the map ( which is excellent) to join in tour mode Great app though if you are visiting Yellowstone get this now

This app is a must for Yellowstone. It will be the best $5 you spend on your Yellowstone trip. The narration is great and very informative. It will help you find hidden gems.

The commentary & insights offered by this app were invaluable during our four days in Yellowstone. Although the information pretty much sticks to the main loop road (with a few side trips thrown in), it was simply great at suggesting where to stop, when turns & parking areas were coming up, etc. There was a lot of excellent commentary about park history, wildlife and explaining the science behind the parks thermal activity. Even though we had done a lot of advance research as to what we planned on seeing & doing, this app really gave us great suggestions, all of which we followed and appreciated. Not needing a cell signal or wifi was a major plus. Do yourself a favor & just spend the five bucks - you wont regret it!

We downloaded the app the night before entering Yellowstone National Park via Cody, Wy. Our intention was to take the circle of fire tour offered by the park, but the app provided great detailed commentary and gave us flexibility to move at our own pace without worrying about missing key points of interest. The app worked perfectly throughout YNP regardless whether we had cell service or not. We saved $200 in tour fees and missed nothing. Neither did we waste time wandering about aimlessly not knowing where to stop or turn. I wish they had an app for the black hills of SD as well.

Well designed and implemented app. Very detailed information on the park and the sites to see. When driving, certain pre-defined waypoints trigger the audio. Its also aware of which direction you are traveling on the road. We never had an issue with the app not working in the park and would have missed several stops had we not used this. If you arent taking a commercial tour you MUST buy this app. Its worth the money.

It hit pretty much all the spots we wanted to see, plus a few we would have missed without it. It did get confused a few times and would either cut itself off or repeat something it had just said. The kids complained about having to listen to it on the long drive, but they picked up some useful information and we had some good conversation starters.

Found a flyer for this app on my visit out west. Downloaded and was so glad!!! Made our trip through Yellowstone a success. We had convenance of our car with an audio tour guide. Covers the entire grand loop. As we would approach a stop the audio would give history and commentary. Used GPS so even without cell service we were able to have s successful visit to one of the greatest parks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Already purchased other apps for the rest of our trip!

Extraordinary value. Spoke us through our day extremely well. Worth multiples of the price.

Why spend money on a guided tour of Yellowstone when you can just pay for this App? It was easy to use! Just connect with your Bluetooth or via usb in your car and hear the audio through your speaker system. Its as if you have an actual guide in your car with you. Seriously amazing app! Cant do Yellowstone without it!

This was the best item we purchased for our Yellowstone Trip!! Our personal tour guide gave us the "must-sees", the little known side trips, and historical and scientific background! Just wish there were more GyPSy Guides for the rest of our rambling road trip!

Getting this app was the best thing we did after booking the trip to fabulous Yellowstone. This app was our companion while we toured the beautiful Yellowstone. A must have!

I cant imagine what our three days in Yellowstone NP would have been like without this app. The tour guide information was perfectly timed, informative and entertaining. With some great tips we even saw a few things we might have overlooked! Best $4.99 Ive ever spent in a vacation!! Thank You

Cant say enough positive things about this app. We used it while in Yellowstone National Park for a weekend. We had an agenda, but decided to give the app a try, thinking wed get some fun facts. We got much more! The guide took us to some gems that we would have skipped for sure. 5 stars for sure!

Have no idea if this is what his real name is, but thats what we called him. Great advice and funny! Best $4.99 of the trip!
