Chimani: National Parks for Negative User Reviews
✓ Used to be awesome!I loved using Chimani to scope out National Parks before I went, but the new app that combines all the guides is ridiculously bulky and expensive. It costs more than a lot of people pay for an annual pass to our national parks where this information is passed out for free. I get that app developers deserve to make an income, but this app is not worth $50..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Crap appThis app is not user friendly. I paid for the year and I can’t figure out the trip planning. I downloaded the minimal map and the other one that was supposed to be more detailed, they were the same. This app is a waste of money..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Account and renewal info hidden!I tried to find out terms of use for renewals, etc, but the app makes this simple function impossible. Still trying to find this basic user info page after 20 mins. I don’t want to “auto-renew” as I only plan to use this app for a certain trip in 2021. So... this app lost cred with me right away..Version: 5.0.19
✓ UselessEvery time I switch to my Google Notes app to look up the date I visited a park, this app forces me to log back in and go through the process of finding the park that I was updating. So frustrating!.Version: 5.0.21
✓ New Feature Is Data Usage IntensiveIt’s great that this one App replaces the multiple Park Apps. One stop shop ... I like it. Yet this new feature is data usage intensive. It downloads each parks info upon request ... then promptly forgets it as it has to download the basic Apps info & unpack it once again before allowing me to choose another Park to review. In fact, if I go back to the same park, it doesn’t realize the park’s info hasn’t been updated since the last download so it downloads and unpacks the Park info again. Bottom line is that I cannot download all the parks I choose to visit & unpack them all once for a multiple-Park road trip..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Please give me back the old version!No idea how to reach you; tried app support with no luck. I have been an extremely heavy user of chimani for several years…and loved it. Now, I neeed to go through multiple steps to load the map…and there doesn’t seem to be a way to display all the park sites without you grouping them…again, anotherstep I have to go through. Please, can I have my old simple app back?.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Great Adventures WendyIf I want to record a past visit you can’t record multiple days at once with drag and drop…would be much easier if you could..Version: 6.0.10
✓ Why change what worked?For years this has been my go-to national park app. I even bought the lifetime subscription. Ever since the last update to “improve” their app it’s straight garbage. Please roll back to the old version until you find developers that can actually build a good UI. The current version isn’t even a beta version. Please fix this or honestly I’d like a refund on my subscription. Back to the NPS app for me..Version: 6.0.4
✓ NonfunctionalPaid for the subscription. Verified that I’m subscribed but it freezes every time that I try to download the map for offline usage and then prompts me to “start 3 day trial” and then just repeats that I’m already subscribed. Shame..Version: 6.0.25
✓ Bring back the old app!Just like ALL the recent reviews I’m so upset they ruined one of the Best apps for national Parks. This app helped us visit 46 national Parks and now it’s trash. It completely wiped all the tracking we had in place. The map to find parks near you is gone and now they show way to much on the maps so you can’t actually find the 63 NPs. I can’t understand why they would take something so good and put out this crap. Look at your user reviews since the update they are all 1 star. Bring back the original app!!!.Version: 6.0.5
✓ Map failWhy did you screw up the map? I liked to be able to easily see which parks I had been to in an area. Bring that back!!!.Version: 6.0.5
✓ Way too costlySorry Devs, but some of your users, like me, might use this app for one visit to one park every 5 to 10 years. For that, your new fees are just way, way too much. One star because I can't give zero stars until you give us a more reasonable fee structure for occasional use. Your new fees are especially shocking due to the jump to that much from zero. I understand you need to make a living, but come on, this isn't the only app on my devices - if every dev whose investment was the size of yours charged that much I'd be unable to have any apps. Please consider a more reasonable fee for, say, one park for one month..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Not a good valueApp is free and but use requires a subscription. The app was handy but didn’t provide any information that you couldn’t get from the nps website or by stopping by a ranger station/visitor center and talking to someone. Understandable development costs need to be recouped, but $30 a year is a bit much for what this app offers and not worth keeping on my phone..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Used to be my favorite appThe “updated” version completely changed all the features that made this a fantastic app and now it’s almost useless. The previous map was great: you could sort by type of national park property (or just view them all) and easily see visited vs. unvisited sites. Yes, I’ve had communications as to how I’m supposed to still be able to do something similar, but let’s be honest, it doesn’t come even close to the functionality of the previous version. Oh so sad. I seldom use the app anymore..Version: 6.0.16
✓ Why?Confused why anyone would pay for this app or why it was even developed. I don’t see a single thing that’s not readily available online. Absolutely not a competitor to AllTrails.Version: 6.0.36
✓ Hiking trail view is limitedTrails are only visible when zoomed in so far one cannot get the big picture. Also it would be nice to be able to highlight individual trails since otherwise it is hard to see which trail is which when there are many intersections.Version: 5.0.17
✓ Terrible upgradeWas using this app for nearly 4 years and visited majority of the US while traveling for work. Perfect features for visiting monuments, preserves to National Parks. Absolutely loved this app. Once the new upgrade happened, it’s simple features became a hinderance. Factoring in the pay feature, they had a great system going till they messed it up. Hard to imagine messing up a mayonnaise sandwich but I guess anything is possible..Version: 6.0.16
✓ What happened?Used to use this app for info on parks, what to do etc. Now I go thru pages of stuff, it requires location and notifications. Sorry to see this good app go down the tubes. I’ve deleted it..Version: 6.0.35
✓ Why Did You Change!Really dissatisfied with the recent update. Previously it was great to be able to see what Parks you’d visited by type on one of the many map layers that you could select from..Version: 6.0.4
✓ Free trialNot free at all. Will not let you try it out unless you have either sufficient funds on apple store for full year or credit card on file with apple.Version: 5.0.10
✓ Not goodI am not happy at all with the new version, I will never use guides , you took away the map of the US showing each park and the ones I have already visited a different color. You would simply click on the park and would get a description and another click would take you directly to the National Park page, I wished you would change this app back , I cannot see using this app anymore.Version: 6.0.5
✓ A waste of $30There is absolutely no redeeming feature of this app. The parks themselves provide better and more insight than this ripoff. They stole $30 from me, DO NOT let this happen to you! A complete waste of storage space..Version: 5.0.12
✓ What about people who bought previous versions?It’s a sad you are forcing people to a subscription model. I Bought the Smoky mountain app and now it will not be supported anymore..Version: 5.0.19
✓ Locked me out of my dataThis used to be a free 5 star app. Then they changed their model to a rather expensive pay-for basis. In the meantime I have loaded years of info covering some 37 National Parks and I am now locked out of that data because they now insist I pay a fee to look at MY DATA! I’m pretty angry. Not because they need to charge money for what is a pretty good app but they didn't give me chance to get my data or give me free access to the parks I’d already been to (and provided them info on). My data made this app better but I’m locked out of it. So when did I go to the Talus Cave at Pinnacles NP, or hike Wheeler Peak at Great Basin?.Version: 5.0.7
✓ SadFormerly a Family Favorite. Developer decided to make guides in this app available by subscription only thus rendering pictures and information useless..Version: 5.0.6
✓ What happened?I have been using this app since it was started and now … ugh. What happened to the maps? I used to be able to hike in a park, open the map and see where I was. I have told so many lost hikers about this app, but now I can’t even find the map. What happened??.Version: 6.0.4
✓ Cool appEvery time I click on Utah it goes to West Virginia. I kinda have an idea of what’s in the state, but I would also like to see what’s there and see the info of what’s in the state for any park weather it state or National..Version: 6.0.5
✓ Requires subscriptionI would pay a small fee but I don’t want the hassle of. Setting up a subscription and canceling etc. just make it an in app purchase and be done with it.Version: 5.0.7
✓ ExpensiveIt might be a good app if you spend the $30 a year subscription, but the free app is worthless. I wish that in the description the App developer was clear about the subscription costs. Many apps have a free version that has some things, but this free version is useless The information you get is absolutely not worth the price of this subscription. All of it you could easily get online or from the literature at the entrance gate of national parks..Version: 5.0.13
