Guided tour

Parks Canada App Reviews
Wanted to book camping
Why can’t you book camping sites for national parks with this app? Is this just purely an information app?
Great App…When it works
When I can use this app, it is great. The self guided tours are wonderful. The problem is if you use the app, then attempt to use it again, all you get is a blank white screen and one word: loading. It goes on like that forever. Sometimes it takes until the next day before you can use the app again. I wish the self guided tours were available on the regular website, if this issue cannot be addressed.
Almost… :(
Every attempt takes me to a “Page Not Found” Error 404. Really want this app to work… I’m rooting for it but it’s crap currently.
Pointless app
Useless app, that redirects you to the awful website. If only parks Canada’s site was like Québec’s SEPAC site.
Bring back the trails map!
I used to use this app all the time to choose trails for our family while in various parks, as it used to be super easy and I could do it quickly. Now that that feature is gone, I can’t think of any other reason why I’d need the app, if all it’s ever going to do is take me to the website. Please bring the trails map back!!
Map inaccurate 06/08/21
You still need to update some of the pins on the map. Some are missing and last I checked “Beaver Pond” was not a National Park.
Travail de fonctionnaires
Difficile à naviguer, pas vraiment d’informations utile ergonomie catastrophiqueTout juste bon a remplacer une brochure papier. Très décevant.
Booking / Reservation
When can the app allow us to have the same capability as the website to reserve camp sites? Otherwise I don't find the app useful.
So much potential
Love the idea of this app and it is designed well however nothing actually works. So frustrating that filtering doesn’t work so you can’t narrow your searches. Too much for a phone screen to manoeuvre without filters.
