Latest reviews of Yellowstone National Park - The Official Guide (Full Version) app for iPhone and iPad
Loads of content, and easy UI. The offline map capability is really great for Yellowstone.
Great app for visiting Yellowstone - or even dreaming about visiting.
Support answers quickly if needed. Good looking app with many entries made intelligently. Looks nice.
As part of your travel "toolkit" Id say this app is functional, but not real handsome, creative or polished. Perhaps thats why I did not find the application particularly engaging or fun. Its like a cake that has the right ingredients, but just didnt turn out as good as it might have. Not the worst, but certainly not the best.
There are two versions. If you buy the full version from within the free version, dont buy the FULL version later. Apple will let you purchase the same thing twice.
