✓ Spotty performance, out of date infoI’d like to add that the problems I had were with the latest version. It was so bad I won’t bother with the two I have yet to use in the Kaua’i bundle..BiscoBuryVersion: 8.1.8

✓ Google MapDoesn’t sync with Google Map when the guide starts..AmazingSilverDragonWingzVersion: 8.1.9

✓ Wailua Valley and Waterfalls Tour in KauaiBeware! We took this tour today and to say we were disappointed with the Hoopii Waterfalls Hike is an understatement. First of all, the trail is not marked and is in a residential area. The Shaka guide highly recommends the 2 mile hike and calls it the most accessible and easiest hike on the tour. How can that be true? The trail was muddy with hundreds of tree roots sticking up and many downed trees to navigate. It’s very easy to get lost and take the wrong trail because NOTHING is marked. We took a wrong trail and ended up in someone’s backyard. The man was scary to say the least and his dog charged us. We felt lucky to get out of there with our lives. Then we ran into a local woman who says the apps like Shaka are ruining the trail and people are constantly getting lost. PLEASE take this stop OFF your tour before someone loses their life either hiking or by one of the residential neighbors. They seem to hate the tourists. It was a scary experience for us and we don’t want anyone else to experience it..Real Jazz ManVersion: 8.2.5

✓ MehI really like the idea of this kind of guide, but in the end I have mixed feelings about Shaka. We listened to all of the Volcano NP tour and part of the south coast tour. Here’s what I liked and what I didn’t. The good: music selections and stories about the gods and legends were both highlights. Because the guide is keyed to gps, you do see things you might otherwise have missed. The turn by turn directions work great for some tricky intersections The less good: for my taste, these guides are short on information. The Volcanoes guide was better in this regard than the south coast guide, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that these guides were pitched at too general an audience to really tell you very much. Vanishingly little history, not much Hawaiian cultural information beyond the mythology I mentioned above, and light on science and natural history. I get the sense that in an effort to make the guides accessible to all audiences, they’ve reduced the content to just the slimmest basics. Maybe if you’re traveling with small kids this is a bonus, but I found most of the entries too light on information to be very interesting. I bought the whole big island package, but after listening to one and a half tours I think I’ve had my fill. I like the (printed) Hawaii: The Big Island Revealed *much* better. But of course you can’t read that while you’re driving!.Isidore4000Version: 2.1.2

✓ App did not work for 2/3rds of the tripWe purchased the Road to Hana app. It worked fine for the first portion of our trip that day and followed the route as described. But each time we stopped, the GPS signal had to be reconnected and after about 1/3 of the way there was no connection. We then had to try to follow the app manually and it was extremely frustrating. We missed stops and sights because of the problem and never saw some of the described landmarks. Do not attempt to use this app if you are driving solo, it will require a passenger to manage the app. We are better than average tech users and it just didn’t work as described. (And yes we had downloaded the app ahead of time as instructed) There was no way to contact support as there was no cell reception on most of the road. Better directions could have been provided about food options in Paia at the beginning of the trip. In our opinion, the choice of going left at the fork in Hana was the wrong choice. We had to find our way on our own that going to the right takes you to the business district where you’ll find the farmers market and some good food truck options for food. Driving the road to Hana is difficult enough itself without the frustration we experienced with this app..KevpsVersion: 2.1.1
