Gettysburg Driving Tour for Positive User Reviews
✓ Worth it!I don’t think I’ve ever paid for an app. I’m cheap like that. We went to Gettysburg on a whim and had no idea what we were doing. I found this app and I’m so glad!! We started at the visitors center(I collect things from NPS) and headed out. The GPS kept up with us the entire time. It was spot on with the auto tour markers. Like others mentioned above, the “optional” and “recommended” stops were close to other points of interest, so it didn’t get to finish sharing info before warning us of an upcoming stop. So go slow, pull off, take your time. I wouldn’t even consider it a flaw, just head the warning so you don’t miss things. You can open the app and listen to everything at your own pace later on. I plan to go through and look up the locations they pointed out at a later time. Thanks for this wonderful and very affordable tool!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Phenomenal!Quick download. Only $10. Worked flawlessly. Just turned on by visitors center and headed on auto route. The GPS worked great. Bluetooth connected fine as my phone always does. It talked right when it needed to. Even let me know not to miss turns. It is NOT too in depth. But enough to keep it interesting and hit all the big points. I'd estimate to go through at its pace and do a quick walk of each auto tour stop it would take about 2-3 hours. There is also a short nice video at each site that pulls up automatically. Loved it. Great app. A suggestion to maybe make an app to book a personal guide as the center is a headache. Like an uber for a tour guide. You set a price, pay online, pick him or her up wherever and go..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Totally worth the moneyWe used this app for the tour of the battlefield and town. It was great and worked perfectly. Totally worth the $10! I would caution you to bring a charger for your phone. Between the gps and the tour it really drained my battery..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AwesomeAbsolutely perfect. Just what we needed since we were there the hottest week in history apparently. It also rained a lot right in the middle so your app saved us. Worked perfectly. Thank you..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great appLocation for personalized tour!Using this app provides an inexpensive, informative, and easy method for to finding your way around the battlefield. Much easier and more fun then leafing through a book while driving or walking. It’s full of information, easy to use, and a great bargain for the money. Especially fun for family use!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Just what I was looking for!Not sure how old the tech is that some of the reviewers were using, but I had zero problems with the GPS connection. Everything worked as advertised. Great app!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great app!This was a really great way to experience the route! The app automatically played at each stop making it super easy to use. It also gave you re-enactment videos at each stop on the route which got you into the experience. Highly recommend this!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great appGot the app to take my 73 year old mother with health issues to Gettysburg. It was one of the places on her bucket list. The app allowed us to drive and see the sites at our own pace. My mother enjoyed the commentary, the music and the videos. Well worth the $10 to make the trip enjoyable for mom. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because 3 videos did not play (stops 1,9,11) even with attempting to restart them. But overall the app allowed my mom to have an enjoyable and memorable trip!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ An excellent tour!!My family used the app for a tour this past weekend while many aspects of the park are still closed from COVID, and we were so pleased with the amount of information and the length of the tour. We did all the stops, both recommended and optional, getting out to read signs and walk through everything, and it took us over four hours. It felt so thorough and worked perfectly, playing everything automatically based on the GPS tracking. We are so grateful this app was able to give us a top notch Gettysburg experience, even while many things were closed..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AWESOME Tour in 2 hrs !This tour should probably be given 2.5-3 hrs so you can get out and look around , we were on a time crunch but got the greatest info on this app in 2 hrs. Met a park watch volunteer named Tom Barrett who was so incredibly helpful and informative. Great job TOM!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Better Angels of our Gettysburg AppThis application from my iPad has been a great addition to touring the sacred battlegrounds of Gettysburg. Being able to witness the fields as they were back in the 1860s has brought tears to my eye. The battle came alive in the palm of my hand. This is application is something all Civil War buffs should purchase and use while touring the sacred ground of Gettysburg..Version: 1.0.4
✓ GPS extremely accurate!Visited Gettysburg when we were short on time, decided to do the driving tour, found this app on trip advisor and was extremely pleased with the accuracy of the gps as we moved along the routes. Auto tour signs easy to see and keep you on track..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Don’t believe negative review scammers—app was phenomenal!I heard from the creator that the maker of the battlefield CDs has been giving fake, negative reviews to this app. I was curious so decided to try it out for myself when my family drove to Gettysburg for the day and downloaded the app to tour the battlefields. We synced it up to our Bluetooth and it was like having our own personal tour guide! I highly recommend this app for an in-depth experience that allows a more immersive and comprehensive tour..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great App!Used this App for two days. It can be a little challenging until you get use to all it’s features. Love how it can tie into a GPS road app and bring you back to some location..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Helpful and User-Friendly AppI used the app while traveling with family, and it worked perfectly. It was very helpful, and made me and my family take more advantage of everything there was to see and visit in Gettysburg. I also believe the price of the app is fair considering all it allows you to do..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great appA terrific app for touring Gettysburg. It was well done and I LOVED the GPS featured that played at just the right time. The only time it didn’t work is when we parked once a little far past the site. If you want to go in depth you should go with a professional guide. If you want a self guided tour and an overview it’s terrific. Take the money you save a contribute back to the Gettysburg Foundation..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great appI highly recommend this app. Totally worth the money! The detailed directions and interesting information at each stop makes this a five star app for us. We really enjoyed learning about all of the history in the area. Thanks for a great app..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Just rightDid the museum and then downloaded this app to do the auto tour. Just let it go and automatically started the next tour spot when we got there. No issues playing over Bluetooth in the vehicle. Great and very informative! Highly recommended! Wouldn’t spend the $$$ for the bookstore one..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Way better than I expected!I usually read all the reviews for apps before I purchase them, especially the ones that cost this much. I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t enjoy this experience but I loved the app! I’ve been to Gettysburg a bunch of times, with kids and without kids, walking and tour bus... But this was a very cool tool that allowed for freedom of movement but still related the historical information! I REALLY APPRECIATED THE GPS TRACKER! At first I thought I had to figure out all the details and tracks to play myself, but this really is a self-guided tour! Thanks so much!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great experience!I went with my family to the Gettysburg battlefield and I have to say usually hanging out with my family is a bit of a chore but this app really brought the battlefield to life and made it a fun experience for all of us. The sounds that play as you drive through areas and the videos made it feel like a virtual reality experience. It was almost like a scavenger hunt too in that we wondered what we’d discover next as we drove to each spot. My family didn’t fight at all because the app kept us all entertained. And I liked that it was self paced and we didn’t have to travel with a big crowd and tour guide. Highly recommend this, great for all ages..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Well done, worth the moneyThe narration is excellent, and the app does all the work for you, aside from actually drive. I was very pleased, and it’s a third the price of the official app. Even includes some music to set the tone between stops. No complaints..Version: 1.1.0
✓ So Great (but out of date)This App is an amazing guide for touring Gettysburg! The content, audio narration and videos are superb! My main gripe is it’s not designed for the full iPhone range. If you’ve got an iPhone with a notch at the top, you know the pain of an app that isn’t designed to adapt to the screen. The “close” x for videos is cut off at the top of the screen making it hard to close the videos. The UI over all is poor, with bits of the content not moving when scrolling through the text on screen. Come on folks, make this app worthy of the content you’re putting out!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great way to take a self tourUsed this app last week during a 1 day trip to Gettysburg. Wanted to see the battlefield but there is so much to see and we weren’t sure where to start and how to make the most of our trip in a short time. We decided to take a chance on the app and are very pleased we did. The audio narrative of the sites we were seeing was really great and the ability to stop if we wanted to or not was a nice way to customize the tour. Would definitely recommend it!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Gettysburg auto tourWe gave this a two star because it was actually dangerous. The gps did not work correctly and in order to advance to the next sight my husband had to manually reset the tour to the next spot. (He was alone )He had to rush through the music to the next spot and most the time he was past what there was to see. Wish we could get our money back. Addendum: I contacted the developer and they have been very gracious and kid and helpful. I have received a refund. Think it may have been user error. So I am changing my review to 4 stars..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Highly recommend this app!Bought and used it today. It was nice to do the tour on our own time and in our own vehicle. It was accurate and also easy to use..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Great app, perfect for a quick audio tour of the park.I was slightly skeptical because of some of the negative reviews, but not having used the app I think they were mostly people that just didn’t know how to use Bluetooth on their phones or just anything on their phones in general. App worked great for me. It’s not the most polished app, but it does what it advertises. There were a few times when it started an audio segment before the previous one ended or maybe started one that wasn’t on my route, but mostly every segment started right on time and without any intervention on my part. It’s fairly easy to just pull over and restart the segment you may have missed. We were looking for a quick and easy way to take a tour of the park as we were passing through and didn’t really have time for the museum, and this was perfect..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great app, worth the money!I'm not one to write reviews, but I just had to give my vote of support for this app. It worked perfectly, clips played at exactly the right time depending on our location, and were filled with good information. We had it going through the Bluetooth in our car stereo so it was easy for everyone to hear. We enjoyed being able to go at our own pace and spend as much or as little time at each location as we wanted. It was well worth the $10, much better than paying $35 per person for a bus tour where you are herded with a bunch of people you don't know and don't get to choose how much time to devote to each stop. I would definitely recommend it..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Save $20 and use this oneYou can buy the $30 version from the gift shop OR you can buy this one and have money left for lunch. This app was great. The narration and embedded videos are awesome, and the gps function worked flawlessly. Our family of six had a great time learning history on the Gettysburg battlefield. Five stars..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great App for a customized experience!I downloaded this app after a close friend told me about their trip to Gettysburg. I’ve done a guided tour before at Gettysburg and found it exhausting to stop at suggested spots, but did not want to miss out on the history. It took about 5 hours to get through. This time around I went with a group of visitors who wanted to see and learn everything about Gettysburg but were on a strict time frame. The app helped us get to some major landmarks, while still allowing us to hear about the sites we decided to drive through. Great app, would recommend to visitors interested in learning and experiencing Gettysburg in an efficient way..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great option!I loved this app plugged into my Harley Davidson and getting to do the tour on the bike. What a great way to discover the history of the battlefields! We also really liked the civil war era music that would play between the stops... so helpful letting you know where potential stops were for bathroom breaks and lunch stops... I highly recommend this app to the biker community as well as anyone that would want to do it in their car... the only thing that could be better, and I don’t believe it is up to the developer but rather Apple, would be adding support for Apple CarPlay so you could see the visuals on your H-D dash..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Skip the audio tour in the gift shop and do this insteadWe first considered buying the $30+ audio guide in the gift shop next to the museum. That price seemed unnecessarily high, so I searched for an alternative. So glad I did! This app worked perfectly with the GPS; it updated automatically based on our location so it was totally hands-free for driving, and went through our aux cord with no issue. Lots of good info and detail. The only tiny flaw was that once or twice, the GPS signals were close enough that we were only halfway through the first track before it automatically shifted to the next. So I would definitely advise you to park the car just before certain auto tour stops, rather than just after the stops like we did, so that the GPS stays on track. But that was tiny compared to how wonderful this was. It’s so worth it! Download this and save your money!!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ AwesomeNot sure what is up with the low reviews but I had to come back and say this was amazing for $10. So much better to go at our own pace and not stuck in a bus with other people. The app provides info automatically by detecting your location and the music is great. We did end up losing the route for the last 3 stops and I had to navigate there with Google and then the audio caught up, but besides that is was perfect..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great experienceThis app was a great supplement to the auto tour! $10 beats the audio cd you get in the visitor center for $30. You get about 1-2 minutes of info for each of the 16 tour stops + some more in between as you drive. Those who claimed it didn’t work must not have allowed their phone to track gps location like the directions say..Version: 1.0.4
✓ ExcellentThis app was so fun! It was our first time in Gettysburg and we wanted to see the major sights without having to take a tour bus. This app gave a ton of info - more than the free brochure from the park, and we found the music really set the mood. We felt like we were on a luxury private tour in our own car. The GPS worked perfectly and automatically played the appropriate audio track as we approached each site. I wish there were more apps like this for other destinations. Well worth the $10..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Good, Basic Tour of the BattlefieldLiving in Gettysburg for 33 years, we’ve driven the battlefield many times. The only tour we’ve done was the double decker bus years ago. We are thinking of moving and I wanted to do a battlefield tour before that happens. The best way to see it is to hire a licensed battlefield guide through the visitor center. They go into great detail, are extremely knowledgeable, and know the battlefield like the back of their hand. From what I understand, the gentleman that is your “host” on the app is a licensed battlefield guide. We are not huge history buffs, and didn’t really learn anything new, but enjoyed the ride through the beautiful battlefield. It just never gets old. The app gives a good overview and the price is right!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Agree with all other positive reviewersJust finished the auto tour today and the app worked brilliantly. Hooked up iPhone to Bluetooth on the RV stereo and it guided us through the whole thing without us having to mess with the phone. App is perfectly priced considering the way overpriced audio CD at the visitor center ($30 as of today). I’m sorry but I’d expect an actual human tour guide for that price. If you follow the auto tour signs starting from the visitor center you’ll have a great experience. I saw some people refer to pics and videos but we didn’t mess with any of that. The audio tour and our own eyeballs were all we needed. Thanks for a great alternative to the pricey options at the visitor center..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Absolutely WonderfulThe GPS was slightly off, but I honestly think it my internet connection.. it was a super hot day and a lot of folks were driving around. My mom has COPD and there is no way she could walk even a portion of the park to see any of its glory.. thanks to this app she was able to enjoy everything from the seat of an air conditioned car. Totally worth the 10 bucks...Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great app!I had seen this app on a billboard the day before i went to pick my son from Harrisburg to have a family weekend together. I am not a fan of buying apps, but i read a few reviews that night and considered as a destination for the weekend. I couldn’t be more happy that someone has created this app. Guides you from start to finish through the area and provides information along the way with music and sounds that gets you deeply in connection with your surroundings. No need to even touch the app at any time as it automatically explain everything as you move. It even warned me that some videos may replay, as you have to go through some landmarks again to reach the others. Help me create a lifetime memory with family without any issues. The best $9.99 I have ever spent. Recommended..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great App, GPS worked greatThis is my first review but wanted to write this since I almost passed on buying the app due to some negative comments from others - this app was flawless, once we started we never had to do another prompt, it took us to every stop, gave great comments, enhanced our experience - would recommend this app to anyone that wanted to drive Gettysburg in their own car.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great Purchase!Very useful app with a great functionality! It was easy to use and incredibly informative! Definitely recommend getting it, really makes the experience of being in such a historic place even more worthwhile!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very informational!We came to town for NYE and decided to do the tour with our family. We have all been to Gettysburg several times so thought we would fly through the tour...wasn’t the case at all! We all learned something new and went to parts of the park we haven’t been. All 8 of us give it 5 stars! It took us some time to get started, but we’ll worth it!!.Version: 1.1.0
