Banff Lake Louise Yoho GyPSy App Reviews

I somehow stumbled across these apps before our planned trip to Banff. I was able to download the Calgary to Banff trip for free. Im so glad that I was able to try it out. I found myself excited to purchase the bundle of four additional tours. Having a personal guide with a pleasant voice in the car to give helpful directions and interesting commentary was well worth $14.99 of our total vacation budget. And I loved that the app doesnt use cellular data on my phone! My only complaint is that while the app was able to track my location and a window would pop up for commentary at the right points, sometimes the audio would automatically play and sometimes it wouldnt. If the passenger wasnt keeping a close eye on those pop ups, we would miss those commentaries. It really wasnt a problem for us, but it could be if you were traveling solo.

We loved the Guide service well worth the price!

I have bought and used about 7 of these guides. They are informative on many subjects. Geology, history, etc. They load onto your phone or iPad and there is no need for an Internet connection. Works on GPS! We run it through our car radio so we can hear it perfectly!

We were told about this App by a stranger. Glad we listened. We were able to drive and see ALL the places with historical background. It even told us inside tricks for parking, food, gas etc. as well as alternative scenic routes. Worth every penny spent.

Very useful guide. It work well with out connect with Internet.

Wish I had known about this app sooner! Great detailed tour guide. Fun side stories, interesting history and very detailed directions. Hope they make more of these for more destinations!

We used four of these apps throughout our stay in the Canadian Rockies. It is very well done, super informative and has really great information as well as anecdotes. I would recommend previewing the major points to get a sense of what you may want to see in order to plan your visit. I would also investigate how to hook up the Bluetooth feature of your car prior to starting off as it can be a little tricky. Overall an excellent app and I would highly recommend it!

What a terrific find! We purchased the package for the Banff area. It is like having a tour guide in our car! Using the location service on my phone, the app is able to pinpoint our exact location as we drive, and point out the points of interest and recommended hikes. I will definitely look for Gypsie Guide tours for future trips.

Just as advertised. Enjoyed this app very much today! Its great for a quick survey of the area, hitting all of the major attractions and giving an entertaining commentary along the way. No Cell service, no problem! Worth the $5.

The gypsy apps work well and provide interesting and pertinent information while traveling through the Canadian Rockies. The apps do not use data and work even when you do not have phone service. The apps are easy to use. We were able to learn about the areas we travel through I just listening to the apps.

Used 8 gypsy apps for Canada. Did a tour of Yoho National Park based upon the reliability and information found in the other apps. So glad we did, turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Highhly recommend Yoho and this apps personal commentary.

Made the drive through Jasper so much more informative and fun. There were a few times it did not auto start but that was OK as I was a passenger and could just hit the play button. I was disappointed that I did not download some of the others when I had good WiFi as being in Canada I did not want to use my cellular data as it would have been very expensive!

Really disappointed that it only works in one direction. Literally Banff to Lake Louise to Yoho, does not work on the return trip. It has some good stuff, but a bit too much "things to do" type information for my tastes.

I downloaded this as opposed to renting the actual Gypsy guide and I regret it. It was supposed to automatically acknowledge the selected path once you drove past the start point but it didnt. I was able to play the points manually but had to guess where they were. Not to mention the danger of taking you eyes off the road to play them manually. I bought all the ones associated with Banff/Jasper national parks and it was a complete waste of money.

We used this app on our iPhone and it was great. It was informative and helpful. We went to places we probably wouldnt have stopped at on our own. Highly recommended.

We have learned so much from these tours. They are easy to listen to, and give us information we didnt have even though weve lived in the area for years. We will buy them for every route we drive, and the tours will lead us to places we havent been before. Thank you!

Best app ever & cost effective:) we enjoyed our trip and went to places that we would never stop by if we were using other touring guides :)

The GyPSy apps for western Canada are absurdly excellent. Would highly recommend!

This app is easy to use and gives interesting commentary and information about the area.
