Customer Reviews
So helpful! Audio timed very well!
We went on the Road to Hana in early March 2025. I got this app the day before and we just loved it! The narrator has a great voice that keeps your attention, but doesn’t cause you to get drowsy. The information is a variety of practical info, modern stories, and history. The music in between is suited to the area, and not obnoxious to listen to. A very well made app. It was so useful to have the guide tell us about upcoming stops and why we might be interested, but also what the next possible stops will be so we could make our choices. Most of the historical information was saved for the road back, which was interesting and helped pass the time.

I wouldn't have wanted to take the Road to Hana without this app. Not only did it enrich the experience with fun facts, interesting stories, and history lessons, it helped us know how to be respectful to locals and even where to stop for a restroom break. The narrator was outstanding and the music which I expected to be annoying was actually relaxing and an enjoyable addition to our drive. 10/10 recommend!

I usually don’t write reviews but this app was soooo great and informative. This was my second time driving road to Hana and this time around I was able to appreciate the history of it (thanks to the app), the stops to skip, and the hidden gems we would have missed we would have done this drive on our own.
