All reviews →Simply the Best
Weve bought the book for years; purchased a new one EVERY time the new edition came out. Invaluable! Nothing else comes close. We have lived on island and have Ohana living there now, but still use it extensively whenever we visit. We were thrilled when the app became available. Mahalo nui loa!
This app is making our trip exponentially better
Im on Maui right now and have been using the Maui Revealed book and app practically incessantly with great success. I mostly used the book in the planning stages, but am using the app a ton while we are on island. I love the interactive map with the Find Me feature. I could go on and on about how reliable the reviews have been, how spot-on the details are, but you will stop reading. The app has the entire book in it so if youre okay with staring at a small screen for long periods of time then just get the app. However, Im loving having both. Theyre cheap and will CHANGE your trip.
Waste of money!
This app is not user friendly and a big waste of money. Not sure if the other reviews are fake or not, but this app is not very good. The book is a good guide but this app is a weak accompaniment to it. Dont waste $7.99! I want my money back...
Author is funny
This app is great as a sidekick to the book when the book isnt there. My nephews kept repeating his funny lines after they read it prior to taking the trip "you can watch the geckos catch bugs by the bright light you crazy party animal you".
Love book, like app
I own multiple versions of the books. I fins them invaluable. Ive used the gps some, and like taking my iPad mini on hikes, exploring, shopping and more. Map and gps work great. Seems like the book is organized exceptionally well, app is pretty good. Wish the app sections flowed like the book, but everything is in the app. Just have to think game bit more when setting at home reading. On island? Just click on gps to find the close by stuff. Easier than hauling the book around, and love the gps.
OK, but two major flaws make the book better
The Maui Revealed app is an okay supplement to the book, but it cant replace it due to two major flaws. Flaw 1: I discovered to my extreme chagrin that the maps within the app completely lack the public beach access markings contained in the book. To me, this is one of the best features of Maui Revealed. To not include them in the app is a shocking fatal flaw. I had purchased the app so that I could leave the book at home, well, I still had to carry the book wherever I went. Flaw 2: Despite being extensively promoted in the book and the App Store as "GPS aware", the app is not. You must have a cell signal for the app to locate you. This means the app is no more helpful than the book when you are in the Haleakala crater as I was. Either stop making this claim, or provide instructions on how to make the device "GPS aware" when the user lacks a cell signal. With these flaws, I cant recommend the app, either as a stand-alone, or supplement to the book. Stick with the book, youll be much happier.
Waste of Money
I am a huge fan of the guidebook but agree with the other negative reviews above. I bought the app and found that I still needed the book. In fact, the app made me miss a few stops on the road to Hana. The gps listed how close stops were to my location, however the list would include stops that were behind me. Also did not take the curvy road into account and caused confusion on how far points of interest were. Buy the book and you will be fine. Maybe Wizard Publications will get their act together and make this app usable but until then stick with the book. I would even go so far as to suggest some of the positive reviews are fake.
