App did not work at some times and it would often did not respond. I have to restart my iPhone few time. Seems some location and connectivity related issue in the app software as it does not work fully in offline mode. As such good story and accurate map info when it worked.
Great app to hit all the high points of the 17 mile drive.
We bought and listened to the entirety of this tour for our drive along 17 Mile Drive and were very disappointed. From the breathy, unprofessional narration, to the constant plosives (please go buy a $10 pop filter with my purchase fees), to the short, shallow, and sometimes questionable stories, this is one to skip. We’ve traveled all over the West enjoying GyPSy Guides (now GuideAlong) for their deep, rich stories and professional narration so we had hopes that this app would be similar. We were sorely disappointed even after listening to the entirety of the tour. Great idea, poor execution.
The app’s interface is ok. It kept insisting that I should have gone to the beginning of the route, despite me being about a 1/4 mile away from one of the two main entrances of 17 mile drive (there are many, but I started at arguably one of the largest). My location was turned on for the app at the highest level of permissions possible, so I know that wasn’t the issue. As it turns out, the 17 mile routes on these maps don’t start at the usual main gates for the driving path. Ok, that’s fine, the app will correct itself while I drive, right? Well… For a few miles, I could not figure out why I wasn’t getting any voice prompts or narration, and then I realized the route doesn’t really follow 17 mile drive as laid out by the official local maps. It still hits major landmarks (it follows the peninsula, rather than the usual driving trip), but it isn’t really appropriate to call it the 17 mile drive audio tour. Perhaps the Monterey Bay / Pacific Grove / Carmel scenic drive? Additionally, the app gives two choices - to start from Carmel or Monterey - but it should have been clearer that those options are actually about which direction you want to take the drive (clockwise or counterclockwise). The narration itself is nice so far, and it’s helpful that it mentions where to turn at tricky spots and the main parking lots. However, I expect older people will have problems getting this to work. I had trouble just downloading the demo, and I’m in my mid-twenties and working in tech. Therefore, I only recommend this if you’re confident with mobile devices and apps. You can get around 17 mile drive just fine with the map and street signs.
GPS spotty so accurate when driving off at times but nice info given.
The app worked perfectly for us and narrated details about points of interest shortly before we arrived at those points, which made it easier for us to decide if we wanted to park and look around on foot, or just view from the car. We've been to 17-mile drive several times and still learned new things from this app. We appreciated the “learn more” option to get even more info. A+, we would buy more audio tours from this app developer.
Did not even use. It is a collection of about 40 photos, half of which are the travel from either Monterey or Carmel to 17 mile drive. What an absolute waste of money!!
Felt like we were on a tour bus! Easy to navigate and such great info!
Excellent App. Worked perfectly
We did our tour in pieces and the app made it simple to do that. Could not have been happier. Learned quite a bit about the history along the journey.
