Customer Reviews
Used the app for both units of Roosevelt National Park. Excellent narrations of what to see and where to turn. Lots of interesting information along the way along with nice background music. Narration on the drive from the north to the south unit made that trip go by much faster than a silent ride. Learned a lot about Theodore Roosevelt for sure!! Thanks Shaka Guide!!
