Tour I thought this was a wonderful drive and will do it again. Very informative app as you drive up in elevation through the mountain.

We saw a sign for this as we started up Mt. Lemon and downloaded the app. We LOVED it and learned so much! It even tells you good spots to pull over to see things it has been talking about. Highly recommend if you want to learn as you go.
★★☆☆☆
App is garbage because the audio turns off when your screen turns off. What a joke
★★☆☆☆
Nothing worked...video would move, but nothing audible came out.could not zoom in or out .wasted time and data
★★☆☆☆
Why on earth is the music so horribly loud on this app??? Make the music "part of the experience" not overpower the experience! 😡
