Comments on National Park Service for Android

★★★★★ Matthew Westra · Jun 6, 2026
Convenient and well-designed. When you're going to visit a park, download the info for that park, and you can access maps, trails, and other info offline.
★★★★★ Sam Martin · Jun 26, 2026
I really love the National Park Service in the department of the interior, I press them to practice preservationist techniques over conservationist techniques for the land that which they are responsible.
★★★★★ Mark Speer · May 19, 2026
I appreciate the easy access to park information and details across the country. It is very handy to save parks that we are planning to visit soon as well for quick access.
★☆☆☆☆ Gavin Mcloughlin · Jun 16, 2026
Unable to download offline maps. Tried on Wi-Fi and data but having no luck. So I'm unable to test the app when I head to the National Parks 🙃
★★☆☆☆ Mike Slavin · Jun 13, 2026
Can't download park data. Freezes at arbitrary percentage. Clearing cache, reinstalling doesn't fix.
★☆☆☆☆ Biswajit Dash · May 24, 2026
NPS app does not show accurate view point details or map. At Sequoia, Bus service is very poor. Bus does come at time or frequently, hundreds of people are stuck at the bus station. Zero management skills. Idiot rangers and drivers.
★★☆☆☆ Miguel Puente · Jun 7, 2026
This app is actually pretty good. Even though I feel like I need to use a map to find where the maps are hidden in this app, but once you find them they are great. Every time I switch to a new phone I lose all of my lists, saved parks, and favorites. This app very badly needs the ability to sign in for backup, sync, and restore to and from Google Drive.
