Tripvia Tours

Tried different ones in the past, and they are by far a better option

We absolutely loved this app. We used it for a trip up to central California. We found the information very interesting and enjoyed the trivia as well!

There were so many things wrong with this app, it’s hard to say what was the worst! I’ll just give the FACTS based on our experience. 1. App crashes constantly - yup, just stops working as you approach a stop, not every time, but on a roughly 25 stop tour the app crashed at least 10 times. Which leads to my second big issue…. 2. Where are my tours - you often purchase the tours in advance, at home where you have great internet. Time passes, you go to the city where the tour starts, open app, hmmmm… might make sense that you would see a list of the tours you’ve purchased, NOPE! You have to hunt through their menu until you find the one you purchased and start the tour. Oh, by the way, every time the app crashes you have to do the same thing!!!! 3. Where was I ? Also very annoying, you can jump to the spot where you were by hitting the map but it doesn’t actually take you where you left off, ours always took us to the intro…. 4. Bring a portable charger- As others have mentioned, this thing will drain your phone faster than anything I’ve ever seen.

We did the LA to San Diego tour in June and we’re disappointed in this audio tour. We had previously done a similar tour in Oahu through another developer and it was amazing. This particular tour had LOTS of dead air time and could have covered so much more. This route is not as scenic as I had always heard, so the first half in particular was rough. There were many points of interest that were missed and some of the narration was very brief and could have been much more informative. The drive took a lot longer than anticipated because this route has tons and tons of stoplights, so prepare for more time than is estimated. It is inexpensive, but we thought we wasted so much of a day.

This app has interesting tidbits of information, along with some trivia questions to try to keep you entertained while driving. Our party felt it was worth the $5 we spent. The app worked as promised, but I can’t give it more than 3 stars because: 1. It does not provide turn-by-turn instructions, so you need someone else in the vehicle to provide you with that. 2. It has to be left running and uses a lot of battery. 3. It does not work with Apple CarPlay (although it does work with Bluetooth, so we were able to get it to play over the vehicle’s speakers, but it did use a lot of battery in doing so) 4. The font on the app is too large for my iPhone 11 screen and when I tried to download, I got an error saying that I used the wrong code. When I finally realized I was trying to download a slightly different tour than the one I purchased, I was able to do it, but only after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This was partly my fault (for not realizing I had clicked into the wrong tour), but it wouldn’t have happened if the wording for the tour hadn’t overlapped the pictures of the different tours.

You won't be disappointed! Family friendly. Kids loved it.. to be honest hubby and I did too.

Did the app heading North for a skiing weekend in Collingwood. Great mix of content from history to sports to popular culture. It's funny and you actually learn stuff while you drive, but in a fun way.

Pretty cool app. Learned a lot about BC and the beautiful Sea to Sky Highway. Super entertaining too! Well done.

Tripvia guide Don made our drive through Saskatchewan a lot more fun! Definitely some cheesy jokes but it sure was entertaining!

Well it kept the kids entertained, so right there I'd give it 5 stars! Saskatchewan is a VERY boring drive and it helped it go by fast! Don is a great voice for this!
