We strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charge to keep your phone charged, and avoid charging through the USB port. AUDIO: Listen directly from your phone or connect to the car stereo via Bluetooth. Avoid using a direct connection to the USB port of a rental vehicle as this can cause audio issues. The audio can play through your car’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto display, please note that the map will display only on your phone. IPADS: ** iPad models must include a GPS chip. Please note only the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models of iPad contain a GPS chip. Wi-Fi-only iPad models have limited location service capabilities and are unable to play commentary automatically.

We first heard about GyPSy Guide when we went from Banff to Jasoer. We found it incredibly informative and entertaining. When there’s something to see (or a hike) “Fred” tells you when, what, how... and if it’s worth doing. When there’s nothing much to specifically look at, he’ll fill time with historical stories, oddities, lore, geology, biology, etc! So on our first trip to Hawaii, when I really didn’t know where we were or what to see or do, I got the island package and first used it on Kauai. I really can’t say enough superlative words about the app. As good (or better?) even then the jasper road one. While it was more obvious on the road to Jasper when there was a waterfall or viewpoint, how it worked because there was only one road, it worked just as beautifully with choices of places and directions and limited time. “Fred” helped us choose where to go, gave us lots of information about the history, culture, geology, and flora/fauna and weather. It tells you what is a must see and what to do or pass up depending on time. He speaks with humor and has a good voice. I like how he reminds of previous stories and continues them at various points. It was great for our 2 days on Oahu and then the 7 days on the Big Island. “Fred” even did a great job of explaining not only what to see in Volcano National Park and how to use our limited time wisely, but also about the important geology, history and biology related to the park. I seriously will purchase every single one available for every road trip or vacation we do from now on!!!! -- PoulsboMom2Two, 2020-02-28 ### ***** "Your own tour guide!" This app is fabulous!!! We used the Calgary/Banff, Banff/Lake Louise and the Icefields/Jasper. You can buy one app that covers all of them, but we weren’t sure we were going to the Icefields so we bought them separately. No need for internet after you’ve downloaded the app. You just open the app, it knows where you are and he tells you things to see, history and other fun facts and stories. There are even different stories for your return drive! We stopped many places that we would not have seen if not for this app. I wish there was a GyPSy app for everywhere!!!! -- youngtraveler22, 2019-10-08 ### ***** "Made the Icefields Parkway 100% better" I can only say one thing....Get This App. Some humor , sarcasm, history, geology......it was absolutely fantastic. The narrator is incredible! Thank you -- jiiferg 15, 2019-10-06 ### ***** "Kudos!" Oh my God. This is so well done. I can’t believe how the narration was so in sync with the driving. We did the Icefields Parkway today and the recommendations were invaluable. I really learned a lot about glaciers! Last time I drove without this app and I felt blind without it. Please keep it up and create more! Was looking for South Dakota; Badlands! I never gush over apps but WOW. Thanks Gypsy! Also loved the voice guy. -- redrover58, 2019-09-30 ### ***** "Great App" This app made our trip through the ice fields amazing. Whenever we had questions the narrator jumped in just in time to answer them. Totally worth the $! -- McIntosh's, 2019-09-23 ### ***** "Fantastic Travel Companion" Happened to pick up a brochure on Gypsy guided GPS tours just minutes before we headed down the Icefields Parkway from Jasper to Banff. The day was so fantastic not only because of the natural beauty, but by the addition of this guided tour. It’s like having a super nice and informed friend in the backseat. Based on that experience we purchased the Lake Louise and Yoho National Park tour and had an equally wonderful day. The tips and history... and the driving directions are wonderful. -- MKM2502, 2019-09-05 ### ***** "Indespensible" Incredible app which makes a road trip more enjoyable and productive. Accurately identifies where you are and accurately pairs information to your exact position. Content with history and geology ties together your experience. Informing you about upcoming sites with recommendations is fantastic. I will purchase for all future road trips. -- itcht, 2019-09-03 ### ***** "Banff>>Columbia Icefield Center ‘n back in 12 hours" We took three half days and one full day away from the kids and packed it in as best as possible. GypsyGuide was the key for the full day to the Icefields! The virtual tour guide adds so much life, history and context as you witness the majesty and stunning views. We couldn’t image having done this tour without it, especially since there is NO cell coverage in the Parkway. Superb storytelling and what’s nifty is how if you have Spotify playing (pre downloaded music of course), the narrator effortlessly cuts in and out enhancing the mood. Truly worthwhile investment! Yeah, same here, I think this is the first App I’ve ever reviewed! Go Gypsy! -- Ohwowww, 2019-09-02 ### ***** "Highly Recommend" We downloaded the Icefields tour in Alberta, and we were so happy we did. It gave driving directions, interesting stories, and helped us decide which stops to make along the way. At one point it stated to slow down, because big horn sheep are often in the road up ahead. Guess what, the sheep were in the road! -- Happy Summer Ii, 2019-08-29 ### ***** "Best App for Touring!" With 5 of us in the car, driving from Jasper to Lake Louise, we decided to try the Gypsy tour app. I cannot say enough about how well thought out, informative, interesting, and humorous it was. The information comes in short informative pieces of 1-3 minutes and then the tour guide is silent in between these narratives to give passengers time to talk, discuss, and marvel. My 80+ year old parents were along and they absolutely LOVED how clear it was.... and only wished they would have had Gypsy on all their prior touring trips. It’s just that good! -- jentz71, 2019-08-20 ### ***** "Awesome companion for the Parkway" The information provided made for an even more memorable tour of the route. The tips for places to stop and what to look for are great. Highly recommend the guide. -- FamTachis, 2019-08-11 ### ***** "Best way to keep kids looking out the window" No matter how Stunning the views are, kids are drawn to their screens inside the car but with this app playing, the whole family was engaged and excited to hear what the narrator would say next. Worth every penny! -- kutephd, 2019-08-02 ### ***** "Best app for traveling with children" The GyPSy Guide is the greatest app ever. Traveling with two small children makes it hard and expensive to go on guided tours. This app was perfect for the car as we toured Banff, Yoho, and the Icefields. It provided us interesting and helpful tips of where to stop (if we so desired), what we would be seeing, and historical/geographical information. Our oldest (10-years old) was obviously listening as he asked questions later in the trip on things he had heard in the narration. This app is worth every penny and we will continue purchasing as we show our kids the great sites of our country! -- MomtheRoadWarrior, 2019-07-28 ### ***** "5 star app if you’re in the Canadian Rockies" As others have said, this is a MUST have app while in the Canadian Rockies. It would have been a different trip without it. Not sure where to suggest to the developer, but if you could put an image with good weather. We just had a rainy drive in the 1st week of July. We heard to see “that mountain and at times could not see anything due to the weather. It would be a 10 star app to see some of them for the unlucky travelers like us. Again, fantastic job with your app. Amazing history, must do hikes/stops, and just enough talk to not take away from the trip. Great job!!! -- Smoken Camera, 2019-07-11 ### ***** "Best app ever" I purchased the Canadian Rockies bundle and it was worth every penny and then some! We called the narrator “Steve” and he became an integral part of our trip. We made many stops at his advice and were so glad we did. On the parts of our trip where he didn’t have a tour, we felt lost and bored! Haha! What a great app. -- lesalash, 2019-07-10 ### ***** "WORTH EVERY PENNY (and more)" I have never felt that an app was so valuable that it was worth the time spent writing a review... until now. I write this only to strongly encourage anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies to seriously consider purchasing the entire package—Icefields Pkwy, Banff,Jasper, and Lake Louise. My wife and I spent many hours researching and planning our trip to the Rockies and we still would have missed several key stops had it not been for this app. Even the Fairmont concierge’s recommendations were not sufficient. There are so many jaw-dropping stops, that it would be nearly impossible for a first-time visitor to plan a trip that properly balances time and value of each stop. The narrator provides just the right amount of commentary and detail to allow you to make an informed decision about what to see and how long to stay. In addition, the app works in real time with a phone gps, so there is no need to carry a map and count kilometers when you should be enjoying the spectacular views. I keep thinking of all I would have missed on this trip if not for this app. My wife and I are truly grateful. -- NicknameIsDrew, 2019-07-04 ### ***** "Gypsy guide" We used these guides all through Canada and they are fantastic. Well worth the money! -- mhop19, 2019-07-02 ### ***** "Well worth it" This tour was well worth the $5. It made our trip so much better, and there were many things we only saw because of the tour. Definitely download over wifi if possible. -- bookfanatic84, 2019-05-14 ### ***** "Get it !!!" This was so helpfull and informative and just enough speaking. If you are having a road trip like the one we had best one to get while we had a drive from Calgary to Jasper . Had also downloaded other ones Calgary to jasper, icefeilds, Jasper, Lake louise. This also works offline which was great while we driving through icefeilds pkwy where there was no cellular reception. -- moonlight@89, 2018-10-25 ### ***** "Absolutely download this App!" Great history and geology lessons along with accurate descriptions of hikes and vantage points along the way. -- from Linwood NY, 2018-10-11 [View all Icefields Parkway GyPSy Guide reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Icefields Parkway GyPSy Guide Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Canada | Travel | #55 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Travel | #66 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Travel | #73 | | Top Paid | India | Travel | #77 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Travel | #83 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Travel | #87 | | Top Paid | Australia | Travel | #90 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Travel | #91 | | Top Paid | Israel | Travel | #115 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Travel | #121 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Travel | #122 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Travel | #134 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Travel | #144 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Travel | #147 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Travel | #158 | | Top Paid | Chile | Travel | #159 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Travel | #163 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Travel | #165 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Travel | #168 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Travel | #168 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Travel | #173 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Travel | #175 | | Top Paid | Japan | Travel | #192 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Travel | #203 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Travel | #221 | | Top Paid | Spain | Travel | #237 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Travel | #238 | | Top Paid | Germany | Travel | #240 | | Top Paid | United States | Travel | #244 | | Top Paid | Austria | Travel | #264 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Travel | #271 | | Top Paid | Italy | Travel | #274 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Travel | #285 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | Travel | #288 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Travel | #295 | | Top Paid | France | Travel | #327 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Travel | #337 | | Top Paid | Poland | Travel | #347 | | Top Paid | Russia | Travel | #365 | | Top Paid | Norway | Travel | #378 | ## Icefields Parkway GyPSy Guide Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/australia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/belgium) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/netherlands) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/brazil) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/poland) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/austria) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/new-zealand) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/israel) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/denmark) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/kazakhstan) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/nigeria) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/norway) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/philippines) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/singapore) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/ukraine) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/italy) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/colombia) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/greece) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/ireland) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/india) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/iceland) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/argentina) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/japan) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/icefields-parkway-gypsy-guide-HTVv/kuwait) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
